FRESHMAN TENNIS
Jack Baer Admits--of Salina, Kans. In fact, Oklahoma has a total of only two lettermen back at all positions except pitching, and neither of them were regulars last season.
Ralph Bollinger, last year's outfielder who was runner-up to Popeye Lasater for the batting crown, (s "booking good" at first. Tom Lally, last year's squad man, is playing second while a couple of sophomores, Shortstop Glyndal Pace of McAlerest and Dwight Collins of Okemah, are just a jump ahead of the opposition at those positions.
Strong Pitching Staff
The Oklahoma outfield apparently will be manned by Lettermen Walter Stephenson and Melvin Bullington and Sophomore Maury West of Oklahoma City. "Pretty good hitter, not a bad fielder" is Baer's matter-of-fact tabbing of West.

Norman, Okla., March 25-Jack Baer, University of Oklahoma assistant baseball coach who is readying the Sooners for the 1941 season while Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, Oklahoma coach the past 13 years, busies himself with his new duties as athletic director, says "pretty good" and "fair" an awful lot when discussing Sooner baseball prospects these days
Sooner Baseball Squad Lacks Veteran Talent
Bollinger Shifted to First
The pitching staff is Oklahoma's strongest department with lettermen John Heath, Harold Parks, and Virgil Ward returning and also Squad Man J. D. Young and a promising sophomore, Hal Cumberland
Harold Halling, former pitcher who is being made over into a catcher, gets the following rating in Baer's book: "Fair receiver, hits pretty good, but having trouble developing a snap throw to the bases since, as a pitcher, he always chucked with a full arm."
Johnny Chyz, sophomore who seems to have the bulge on the other catchers at present, Baer describes prosically as "Nice receiver, good arm, pretty fair hitter."
Soph Catcher Looks Good
The acute Sooner catching problem is clearing up some, admits this portly youth who made the Sooners a great outfielder from 1936 through 1938 and even now belongs to the Boston Bees of the National league.
Manhattan, March 24—Chris Langvardt, Kansas State's three-sport star, made such a big hit in the Kansas State-South Carolina U. football game in Columbia last fall he is still receiving cards and letters from nine different South Carolina coeds. He enjoys the correspondence. But the girls don't know Chris already is engaged to be married.
But in spite of this lack of veteran talent, Baer isn't discouraged. Neither is he optimistic.
"We're going to have a pretty fair club," he opines, leaving you to do your own interpreting.
Baseballers Begin Intra-squad Games
Four innings of an intra-squad game were completed before the Jayhawk baseball squad yielded to the cold and headed for the showers yesterday afternoon.
"Knute" Kresie started on the mound for one team and was touched for seven hits and four runs, with Bob Allen hurling the third and fourth innings.
John Burge was the opposing pitcher and allowed four safeties and two runs in the three innings he worked. Frank Bukaty, assistant coach, pitched the fourth inning.
Virgil Wise, second sacker, and Weymouth Lowe, left fielder, for the Burge's led the hitters with two for three. Wise, Delmar Green, and Steve Meade turned in a neat double play.
Weather permitting, the squad will engage in another practice game this afternoon with "Red" Dugan and Bukaty doing the throwing.

Ralph Miller Examined
Gwinn Henry and Uncle Sam are vying for the services of Ralph Miller, star halfback, until the results of the medical examining board, which checked him this morning, are made official.
The board, composed of five local physicians and headed by Dr. R. H. Edmiston, had not yet reached a decision on Miller's status.
"I won't know definitely how I am rated for five or six days," Miller said. "All I know is what was on the chart. They told me I had a nose obstruction and then, of course, my knee."
This statement lends hope that Miller's trick knee that has kept him out of football and basketball competition this year will also eliminate him from the draft, making him eligible for football and basketball next year.
Lloyd Greene To Leave Tomorrow For Billiards Meet

Greene was individual high scorer in the western division of the billiards competition sponsored by the College Association of Unions.
