KU Baseball Season Opens Against Rockhurst Today
Only four lettermen will be in the starting lineup when the Kansas Jayhawkers open their 1949 baseball schedule here against Rockhurst at 3 p.m. today.
Making his debut as baseball coach, Bill "Red" Hogan will have one veteran in the infield with Lou DeLuna at first base. In the outfield he
The remaining members of the Jayhawk startup carry junior college, semi-pro, or Ban Johnson experience. Carl Ellis will open at shortstop, Floyd Temple at third base, Herb Weidensau in left field, and Bob Talkington catching.
With two pitchers nursing sore arms, Lane's chief problem has been to put together a capable pitching staff. Either Jim Quinlan, fast ball pitcher, or Tom O'Brien, curve ball specialist, will start today.
will have Dick Bertuzzi in left field and Bud French, shortstop last year, in center field. The other letterman of the four is righthander Dick Gilman, starting pitcher today.
Larry Messina will open at third base, with Ed Silverman at first. At shortstop will be either Pat Gravino or Jim Cameron and at second base either Rex Clemmer or Don Schmittker.
Lane has plenty of capable out-
fielders, Jack Garles will be in left
field, John Rheem in center, and
Bob Gennette in left.
The Central conference Rockhurst Hawks will be fielding their first baseball club since 1943, but Coach Lew Lane has plenty of experienced Ban Johnson league players to fill the lineup.

The Texas outing must have done something to K.U.'s genial track coach, Bill Easton. When asked about the weather at the Austin carnival, which was described in papers as "raw," "cold," "blustery." "rainy," and "windy," the mentor had this to say.
"Why, we would practice any day in weather as good as that was. When it isn't 80 those Texans think it's cold." He did admit, though, that the track was a bit wet.
The "strong cold wind from the north," according to Austin reports, was termed simply and casually "a wafting breeze" by the head Jayhawker. Maybe it happens to everyone who associates with Texans.
The Big Seven showed up well in the southern carnival, taking four trophies, including Kansas' two, and placing in six other events. Rollin Prather, Kansas State giant, took a first in the spot put with a toss of 50 feet, $11\%$ inches. He was eight inches ahead of Clair Mayes of Oklahoma.
When asked by a friend why the four-milers didn't break the Texas relays record—they missed by 1.8 seconds—Easton modestly replied, "We just didn't know how good we were." He meant it, too.
Oklahoma won the 440-yard relay, doing the distance in 42 seconds, for the Big Seven's other trophy. Nebraska, fielding the conference's strongest all-round team, failed to take a single prize but came close three times.
The Huskers were beaten by inches in the 880-yard relay and lost a close one to Oklahoma A. and M. in both the 440 relay and the two-mile relay. They took second, a tie, in the pole vault but were far behind the winning and record-breaking vault of 14 feet. $2\frac{1}{4}$ inches.
The Cornhuskers also took thirds in the sprint medley relay and the shot put.
Kansas State placed in three events, excluding Prather's winning heave. The Wildcats took second in the broad jump when sophomore Herb Hoskins sailed 23 feet, $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Hoskins was beaten by Robertson of Texas who made 24 feet, $5\frac{1}{4}$ inches.
16 Wire Meets For Fresh Track
The Freshman track team will compete in 16 telegraphic dual track meets and the Big Seven conference telegraphic meet this spring. Events will be run off during the week preceding the deadline and telegraphed to the opponent school to decide who is the victor.

They also got fourth in the distance medley and Prather added a second to his first with a 150-foot, 9% inch throw in the discus. George Kadra of Texas A. and M. won handsily spinning the wheel 154 feet, 10% inches.
Phi Gams Picked In Swim Finals At 7 Tonight
Finals in intramural swimming meet are not slated to begin until 7 o'clock tonight in Robinson gym, but Phi Gamma Delta is already beginning to make room for the title cup in their trophy room.
That's just how impressive the 1948 champions looked in semi-final performances Monday night. The meet was strictly a Beta-Phi Gam tussle from the start when both teams qualified 12 men in the preliminaries April 2. Now the Phi Gam's are a one-sided favorite.
In posting four first places in Monday's semi-final clockings, the annually strong Phi Gam's qualified at least one man in each of the five individual races and also qualified for both team relays. They got three in the 100-yard back stroke race and in two in each the 50-yard breast stroke and 50-yard individual medlev.
Those qualifying for the finals are.
