PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1948 By BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Editor Coach Jules V. Sikes ran his Jayhawkers through a stiff opening-day workout yesterday afternoon in an attempt to find out just what material he has to work with. Twenty-three lettermen, 17 of them from last year's squad, were among the 148 candidates. candidates. Foregoing the conventional opening day routine of calisthenics and easy running, Sikes started off with a bang that had some of his candidates limping off the field with assorted ailments convincing of lack of condition. The last couple of hours were taken up by a dummy scrimmage, except that the "dummy" part of it wasn't too apparent in line play. Blocking was stressed during the practice, with line coach Norman Cooper barking instructions and corrections from behind the defense, and Coaches Sikes and Kinsey giving offensive tips. While it's entirely too early to know any more about K. U. prospects than can be found in last week's papers, it seems to us that the coaching staff is entirely adequate, or will be when assistant coach Mike Getto rejoins it next fall. Otto Schnellbacher will entrain for Denver tonight where he will join the West All-Star team for a Saturday night game with the Denver Nuggets. Schnellbacher led the West in scoring with 11 points, but they dropped the annual East-West game, 47 to 58. The East squad will meet the Nuggets in Denver Sunday night. Last season, the victorious West squad, with Kansas' Charlie Black on the roster, played a post-season game with Phillips 66, now seventime National A.A.U. champs, losing 47 to 52. Phillips 66 will play Kentucky to night in Madison Square Garden for the United States Olympic playoff title. The Nuggets were eliminated from the Olympic playoffs by Phillips Monday night, 69 to 40, but hold one victory over the Oilers this season. Vince Boryla, Notre Dame ace who sparkles the Nugs, was sidelined with a wrenched knee in the important playoff clash. Speaking of Kentucky and Schnellbacher in the same breath, Otto told us yesterday that the Wildcats "completely sold" him on the strength of their basketball team. "They have everything a team could want," said Schnellbacher, "This Groza, although he isn't a terrific scorer, is most of the team, especially on rebounds. He takes them from both sides of the basket, just reaching out those long arms." (Groza is 6 feet, 8 inches tall.) "And that guard, Beard, really is a ball-player. They talk about him as little, but he's six feet tall and built like Evans. Moves awfully fast, too." Otto said that Louisville looked good to him while they won the Kansas City N.A.I.B. tournament, but that Kentucky just ran them off the court. They cinch their games in the first 10 minutes so they won't have to worry, he added. Although this corner can't seriously see the Wildcats as winners over Phillips tonight, it is possible, and if the Oilers didn't have the reputation of winning all the games they want to win, we'd concede a great Kentucky college team more than an outside chance. In our book, as well as Schnell-bacher's, the Wildcats are the best college team in the country (witness their 28-point offensive-defensive margin and their 35 and 2 record). Classes Design Scenery For A Student's Ballet Sophomore design classes are designing scenery for an original ballet written by Craig Hampton, fine arts sophomore. It is entitled, "Isle of the Dead." The classes are using a darkroom as a theater to try out different colors in scenery design. They will design costumes for the ballet after the scenery is finished. Dessa Bush, assistant professor of design, is in charge of the classes. Compromise Yields Single Football Code New York, March 31 - (UP)— College and high school football rules were blended into a single code today after a compromise agreement on nearly 150 differences which had split the two factions for the past 15 years. The new code, adopted after a three day session by national collegiate and high school representatives, goes into effect next season. Approximately eight differences still remain, the main one being that colleges will play 15 minute quarters to 12 for high schools. 1. general, the new rules provide: 1. An artificial tee will be permitted during any place-kick (including try for field goal or try for point). 2. When a scrimmage kick touches something behind the receiver's goal line, the ball will become dead immediately regardless of whether it has been touched in the field of play. 3. If the first free kick is out of bounds, it will be kicked again. If the second such kick is out of bounds, the ball will be awarded to the receivers on their free-kick line (usually the 50-vard line). usually the backyard 4. Penalty for any infraction of the substitution rule will be five vards. 5. Teams will be permitted 25 seconds for the huddle and getting the ball into play. 6. If any foul, such as an encoachment or delay of the game, occurs near the time of the snap, the referee will be authorized to blow his whistle to kill the ball only when the infraction occurs early enough to give the referee a reasonable chance to prevent the snap. If the infraction is too late for this, the referee will withhold his whistle and allow the play to go through. 7. Penalties will be enforced in accordance with the "3 and 1" method of enforcement. This means that the basic spot of enforcement of a foul which occurs during a running play is at the spot where the ball becomes dead. The basic spot of enforcement for a foul which occurs while the ball is loose (during a kick, pass, or fumble) is at the previous spot where the ball was snapped or free-kicked. 8. There will be no restriction to prohibit a center, guard, or tackle from changing positions with a backfield player during any down. When such a lineman takes a position one yard or more behind the line, he becomes a back and has all the privileges of any other back. 9. Handing the ball forward will not be considered a forward pass. In a pass, the ball must actually leave the hand of the passer and travel in flight. When the ball is merely handed to a teammate it is legal in certain situations behind the line. When illegal, it will carry a penalty of five vards. 10. If a forward pass touches an ineligible player, the ball will remain in play. At the end of the down, the penalty will be enforced or declined. Also, if a forward pass touches an ineligible player in or behind the line it is treated as a type of illegal pass which carries a penalty of five yards and loss of down. 11. Any number of substitutions Naval armaments will be exhibited by the N.R.O.T.C. April 16 and 17. The Engineering Exposition will also be held then. Big Gun, Torpedoes In NROTC Exhibit COACH JULES V. SIKES A 5-inch dual purpose gun, believed to be the largest naval gun in this area, will be featured. Mines, depth charges, rockets, rocket launchers, torpedoes, torpedo directors, and machine guns will complete the display. The armaments will be shown in the armory of the Military Science building. will be permitted while the ball is dead and the clock is not running. On a dead ball, with the clock running, one substitute may enter a college game and two may enter a high school game. 12. A field goal may be scored by any drop kick or place kick during a kick from scrimmage or during any free kick other than the kick-off. 13. Right to advance a recovered kick is determined by whether the kick is recovered behind the scrimmage line or beyond it. St. Petersburg, Fla., March 31—(UP) The pitching future of Murry Dickson never gleamed as bright as it did today, but that of big Bill Bevens was never so gloomy. Yanks Blanked; Bevens In Trouble Dickson, the 155-pounder who relies on dinky balls instead of blazing fast balls, pitched a complete no-hit, no-run game Tuesday for a spring training 7 to 0 victory over the world champion New York Yankees. Bevens, the Yanks' burly fast-baller, was the victim. The performance of the pint-sized card right-hander was the first no-hit job involving major league teams since Bill McCahan of the Philadelphia A's hog-tied the Washington Senators last Aug. 3. The only other complete spring training no-hitter was turned in by the late Cy Blanton of Pittsburgh against Cleveland in 1939. The nigh-perfect performance virtually assured Dickson of ranking as the ace of the Cardinals' staff. Almost certainly it earned him a starting job after two years of relief duty. For Bevens, the game may have marked the end of a Yankee career that has been nothing but one bad break after another. It was a fitting episode in the saga of the man who missed the first world series no-hitter in history last fall when Dodger Cookie Lavagetto doubled with two out in the ninth. The old arm trouble that hampered Bevern last year cropped up in the game's first inning and this time it could be very serious. The raw-boned right-hander said he wanted to take three weeks off to go either to John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore or to baseball's noted surgeon, Dr. Robert F. Hyland in St. Louis.
