Young Hopefuls Toss Horsehide In Spite of Snow
Team Getting Lined Out Though Bad Weather Has Interrupted Practice
Hoping for a break in the weather, the vanguard of the Jawhawk baseball squad braved the chill blasts of Mount Oread yesterday after more than a week of forced idleness.
If the other end of the battery were as impressive as Catcher Ferrell Anderson's place there would be little uncertainty in this department. Coaches Kappelman and Neumith can only hope that his hurlers measure up to half the ex-gridder's ability.
This marks the starting point of Coach Kappelman's final conditioning drive which ends on April 15 when Kansas, after a lapse of six years, will meet Iowa State in the opening Big Six diamond facets on Dell Davidson's newly constructed lot east of the stadium.
Anderson looms up as the brightest spot in the squad. The big voluble backstop who lays down a continuous barrage of encouraging speech will probably do the major part of the catching. He packs a punch that should prove to be the spark of the Jayhawker team. He matches for his weight and judging by hefty cut he has been sending by distantCoronado Field, and Anderson's batting eye seems to be all right.
A trio of ex-basketball boys with the exception of Harry Towns who is shated for the shortstop berth, make up the remainder of the infield. At first base, Carl Widener, who has been showing probably the clausest sort of ball handling in the conference, has the edge over his rivals. Widener has many years of Ban Johnson hall behind him and isn't the least bit over-rated. He plays the initial sack like a big leaguer, and his power at the bat is excellent, but the other cageman handles him well at the keystone bag and hardly has an equal at the plate.
Towns plays a snappy short infielder, but he may be hampered by his height at home with the bat.
In Lester Keppelem, Big Brother Francis has a reliable custodian of third base. The hot corner which always is a source of trouble on any club will undoubtedly bother Little Keppelem, but he, too, seems to be growing steadier as training progresses. His batting punch is all there which is a lot more than other third basemen can claim.
Ole Neason, outfield coach reports that his flychayers are rapidly rounding into shape. The best of the bunch seems to center around Ed Arnberger, Warren Coffin, Melfi Omens and Pat Holcum. Harry Hill, over there, looks like the real thing at the plate as well as in the field.
The pitching staff, which has been plagued with adverse weather save for a day or two of real warmth, seem to be the only sore spot of the outfit. Despite this appalling handicap they are progressing nicely with Jim Brass, Barney Anderson, Harry in the van, Kelman Murray in the car, Kvanappel Manure have little trouble finding a pair of good starting hurriers from this lot.

Coach Lindsey Hopes To Make Up Vigorously For Lost Time
Adverse Weather Puts Crimp in Football Work

Lamenting the adverse weather conditions and other interruptions which have been plaguing the football fortunes of the Jayhawkers' spring training period ever since its start several weeks ago, Adrian Lindsay, head coach, announced that grid practice which has been lacking in both spirit and attendance, will continue with renewed vigor today.

"The boys were rounding into shape prior to this series of setbacks with fundamental's backbone on each day's work," said Lindsey. "But now that mid-semesters are over along with the atrocious weather—we hope—we should make up for lost time."

With the addition of Glen Pressnell, the ex-Nebraskan, to the coaching staff, Lindsay can now give his undivided attention to the supervision of the entire squad during practice and scrimmage. This was quite impossible under the old system. Then it was Ad in the backfield and Mike Getto on the line, Pressnell, who is the new backfield coach, is an old-timer whose knowledge of both college and professional football is complete—as complete as that of any man in the game.

Doctor Grover had seen every running of the Rolals, and Dr. F. C. Alon felt that he must have here again at this year's meet.
