Kansas Batsmen Face Hawks
Knute Kresie To Pitch Opening Game
Knute Kresie draws the opening day assignment.
This was the big news today as Coach Mike Getto sent his Kansas baseball team through a short drill by way of final preparation for tomorrow's game with the Rockhurst Hawks.
The Jayhawk coach has reached a decision on his entire starting line-up, save for the man who will work behind the plate. Getto said this morning that he may start team Captain Eldreth Cadwalader in right field and let big Monte Merkel handle the catching assignment. This move would not weaken the team defensively and would add punch to the batting order.
If Getto decides to start Cadwal-
ader at the catching position, Dean Martin will play right field. Larry Hensley, a regular from last year's team will patrol central field, and Ramie Beims will start in left. Cameron To Start At Third
Miller Cameron, speedy sophomore, who has outdistanced other hot corner candidates will play third base. Ray Napier and Charles Kraemer are to form the keystone combination, and Jack Sands, last season's regular first baseman, will start again at his old position.
Leo Cain, one of the four letter men from last year's team which defeated both Missouri and Kansas, may pitch for the Rockhurst nine tomorrow. Two infielders, Joe Drgastin, second baseman, and Mickey Combs, third baseman, and one outfielder, John Scanlon, will be the other veterans in the Hawk lineup. The team coached by Frank Hood won nine of its 12 games last spring. Wet Grounds Prevent Practice
Wet grounds prevented infeld practice last night, and the Jayhawk workout was restricted to signal practice and work in the batting cage. Coach Getto called a half in time to check out game uniforms to all members of his team. Tonight,
heplans to hold an infield drill and to stress defensive and offensive maneuvers.
Umpires for tomorrow's battle will be Dr. L. E. Byce, who has worked many Kansas games in past years, calling the balls and strikes, and Justice of the Peace, Bob Oyler, who has plenty of experience as an arbiter himself, on the bases.
Coach Getto announced today that the game will begin promptly at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, instead of 3:30, as has been the custom in previous years.

Tennis Clinic Here Tomorrow
Under the sponsorship of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, a free tennis clinic will be held here tomorrow, following the K.U-K.C.U. matches. To stimulate interest in the game, Dr. W. T. Jacobs, chairman of the Clinic committee of the U.S.L.T.A., has arranged for a limited number of clinics to be held at the colleges in the Missouri Valley. These engagements are under the direction of D. Manker Patten, a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association, assisted by John Shostrum, former champion of the Big Ten Conference.
The clinics are held indoors or out, depending upon weather conditions. They involve detailed instructions as to the grip and the correct method of making the various shots. The demonstrations are made by Shostrum on a new practice device approved by the U.S.
L.T.A. called the Tom Stow Stro
Developer.
A rules discussion is conducted by Patten, who also offers suggestions regarding tournament play. Members of the audience are invited to ask questions and to swing at the ball on the stroke developer; faults are pointed out.
Following about two hours of shot demonstration and personal instruction, either a singles or a doubles match is scheduled in which Shostrum plays when weather permits use of courts.
No admission is charged to the clinic and all tennis enthusiasts are invited-experts and novices are welcome.
