Baseball coach Vic Bradford knows little more about his diamond prospects today than he did three months ago. Snow and rain have kept the practice field in better condition for pontoons for spikes.
Approximately 60 men have appeared for the few outdoor workouts. Pitchers and catchers have been working inside for sometime, but many innings of actual game practice will be necessary before a first string nine begins to take shape.

Down Norman way baseball coach Jack Baer is drilling his Oklahoma squad for a southern trip which starts next week.
The Sooners will take on Texas Christian, Texas, and Baylor in a pair of games each on the seven day tour which begins April 3. Last year, Oklahoma swept its Texas trip, but competition is likely to be tough this season. The Longhorns from the state university are said to be especially strong.
Mitchell collected five hits in eight times at bat against Texas in last year's two game series. Clarence "Red" Dead had seven for ten and Johnny Chyz, Sooner catcher, had four for eight.
The Sooner team will miss the services of Dale Mitchell, their .507 hitter of, last season, who later led the Texas league and is now with the Cleveland Indians.
The Sooners clubbed the Longhorns in both games, winning 9 to 6 and 8 to 5. Later, Texas went on to win the Southwest conference title with Bobby Layne, pitching ace and football star twirling two no-hit games as he went undefeated in the conference.
Layne was accorded rough treatment by Oklahoma in the first of the two early season games. In the second inning, Chyz hit a home run scoring Mitchell and Deal who had both singled ahead of him. Mitchell poled three hits that day and Deal four.
Layne is back again this year and has a great club behind him. The Longhorns will be after revenge.

Things are rapidly shaping up for the greatest Kansas Relays in history. Track teams throughout the nation are bigger and better than every before, and schools are once again ready to stand the expense of sending full squads to the large meets.
Return Of Decathlon Marks Return Of K.U. Relays To Pre-War Heights
With the announcement of the return of the Decathlon to the regular roster of events the Kansas Relays will return to pre-war standards here April 18 and 19 with the 22nd running of the annual classic.
The Decathlon, a 10-event grind which is seen in only one other of the country's big outdoor meets each year, will complete a full card of Relays events which for two decades has kept the Jayhawker games among America's top thinclad festivals. It will mark the first resumption of the event here since 1941.
The K.U. conclave climbed back into the national track limelight last spring with its first post-war running, but was not up to full-scale attraction. With a pre-Olympic program on tap this year the Relays and expected to hit their pre-war stride once again.
There is already a lot more interest," said Dr. Ed Flebel, veteran director of the meet. "Last year we drew a creditable total of 33 colleges and universities when many of the smaller schools had not yet returned to track following the war. This year everyone is back on a full sports program."
Elbel already has received a record number of prospective entrants for the decathlon, and is expecting several more before the first of next month.
Annually boasting a strong field, the Kansan Relays decathlon has produced the last two Olympic champions in the event. In 1936 Glenn Morris, the sturdy Colorado Athletic club youth who holds the present K. U. record at 7,576, bagged the specialty at Berlin, Germany. In 1932 it was K. U.'s own Jarrin' Jim Bausch who pegged the weights out of sight at Los Angeles to cop the all-around crown.
In 1928 Tom Churchill, great Oklahoma athlete of yesteryear, won his first Decathlon title at the Kansas Relays and later placed fifth against Olympic competition in Stockholm, Sweden.
KU.'s Clyde Coffman. Buster Charles of Haskell and Dick Kearns of Colorado, were other aces who won the event here.
The Kansas carnival also will feature the second edition of the Glenn Cunningham mile, a race dedicated to the famous Elkhart Express who carried Jayhawker silks into two Olympic games and ruled America's miler through most of the thirties.
These two features will anchor the regular card of 12 relays and eight special events which will fill Saturday afternoon. The baton races will include the half mile and two-mile relays in the college and university class, university sprint medley, university four mile, university uartermile, and the traditional distance medley and mile in both classes.

K.U.'s 'Annie Oakleys' Train To Shoot Works
Reorganized after being inactive during the war, the women's rifle club now consists of about 20 active members and 65 inactive, Sgt Arthur Millard, administrative manager of the team, said recently.
"The club was formed so women could make new friends and have comradeship in the sport of shooting for fun and in competition among other universities," Sgt. Millard explained. "It is sponsored by the ROTC and Lt. Col. Kenneth Rosebush is the officer in charge."
By means of telegraphic matches the club has competed against five universities in the past week: Pennsylvania State. University of Hawaii, Ripon College of Wisconsin, Oklahoma A. and M., and the University of Michigan.
"While most of the scores are yet in the mail, we know that Michigan
Using U. S. Army Springfield 22 rifles, members shoot for the coveted 90 points or above so they may be selected as one of the five members of the team. Each person is allowed to fire 10 shots and receives 10 points for each bullseye. Thus, it is possible for each person to obtain 100 points and the team to score 500.
Members of the team are Margaret Sue Cloyd and Mary Ward, College freshman; Janet Belt, College junior; Betty A. Sanden, College senior; and Kathleen Broers, College sophomore.
scored 487 points out of 500 and Pennsylvania State 500 out of 500." Sgt. Millard reported. "The K. U. team made 461 points."
The team competed against Northwestern, Princeton, K. U. ROTC, and the K. U. Navy ROTC Tuesday.
Richards Beats Busiek For Top Tennis Spot
Dick Richards holds the No. 1 spot on the K. U. tennis team today, after a three-set win over Erwin Busiek. No. 10 junior in the nation, in a Jayhawker net team intra-squad match Saturday.
"One will be given to the individual who is voted by the club members the outstanding member of the club for the year." Sgt. Milton Beaumont will be given to the girl who is the outstanding markman of the year."
"Several matches have been forfeited due to the shortage of ammunition. Miam commentated, trophies will be presented to two members about June 1."
Club officers are Janet Belt, president; Shirley Otter, vice-president; Frances Chubb, secretary; Armilda Lincoln, treasurer; Betty Ann Sanden, safety officer; and Marjorie Page, team manager. Master Sgt. Richard D. Cloke serves as an assistant coach.
Richards had to go three sets to beat the southpaw Busiek, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, but he held better control against a high wind which kept both players from showing their best. His margin came in better control and in forcing net play. During the final set, he broke Busiek's service twice, the last time after the former top player played a 40-15 lead.
In other matches Saturday, Roy Shoaf held his No. 3 spot over Frank Gage with a 6-4, 8-6 victory, Sam Mazon made it a match apiece with Bob Barnes this year, winning this time after a previous loss. After nearly three hours of play, Mazon won 6-4, 6-8, 2. Hervey MacFerran defeated Charles Carson in another three-setter, Meyer Mazon topped Lynn Greeley, and Dick Cray beat Don Medearis.
The Jayhawkers start a 10-day spring trip through Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri on Saturday.
