Volleyball Team Opened Today In National Trials
The Kansas volleyball team began first round play today in the National Volleyball Association Championship Tournament at Dallas, Tex.
About 15 teams will be entered in the collegiate division including last year's winner, Chicago. Other teams include Michigan State, Ohio State, UCLA, Mexico University and George Williams College.
There will be approximately 50 teams entered in the three divisions; collegiate, open and women's. The tournament will be held in the Southern Methodist University fieldhouse.
The Kansas squad is composed of Jim Husser, Pete Abbott, Dick Lee, Bob Harper, Bob Lockwood, Bruce Wells, Buell and Russell.
The team competes in the collegiate division today and tomorrow and the open division Friday and Saturday. The Jayhawkers finished second in the collegiate division last year.
KU's Bob Russell and Glen Buell, returning All Americas, will be the big guns for the Jays as they try to improve last year's showing.
Longest Streaks
Chicago — (UPI)— The Chicago Bears have put together two 18-game winning streaks that are tops in the National Football League. The Bruins' initial string was during the 1933-1934 seasons and the second during the 1941-42 campaigns.
Sportscaster, Like Politicos Talks Way Into Trouble
By United Press International
NEW YORK—Radio sportscasters have joined armchair athletes and politicians as prime examples of the best way to talk yourself into trouble.
The fellows who talk a good game usually wind up in the driver's seat. But sometimes the steering wheel isn't connected.
Political candidates of necessity must be glib with the chatter and the evasive adverb. Successful vote-getters who are reluctant in the gab department seldom hit the top, even though you get an occasional long shot like Calvin Coolidge.
Take the case of Lou Boudreau, who was swinging along quietly and supposedly happily as a broadcaster of Chicago Cub games. Then—bingo—he winds up as manager of the Cubs and Charley Grimm takes over Lou's microphone.
Grimm surely got the best of it because managing the Cubs has to be classed as real trouble.
U. S. Sen. Estes Kefauver gave the lowdown on talking when he was running for President. He said that when he ran for the state senate he was billed as a former member of the Tennessee football team.
"When I ran for governor," he quipped, "I found out that I had been a member of the Tennessee varsity. But when I ran for President, all of a sudden I was an ex-all American."
this is not to insinuate that

Dressen, Haney Meet on TV Will Discuss Braves' Pitching
By United Press International
By United Press International The political-year atmosphere of televised debates has moved into the sports world with Charlie Dressen. Milwaukee Braves' manager, saying he will meet with former Braves' pilot Fred Haney before the cameras this weekend.
Dressen, in announcing his okay to the television interview, insisted that there was no feud between him and Haney.
He said any talk of such a feud was "manufactured."
Haney suggested next weekend for the Dressen interview, when the Braves play Pittsburgh in Milwaukee on both Saturday and Sunday. Dressen agreed.
He said, though, that there was no need to settle any so-called feud.
Haney now conducts a weekly interview show over a nationwide network (NBC) before a scheduled baseball game (the game of the week).
"About the nearest I ever came to saying something controversial so far as Haney was concerned." Dressen said, "was that I thought all managers were different. What has been built from that remark

"Till answer any questions Haney asks. And I'm a smart enough baseball man to know the answers."
Jarrett, Bukaty Show Promise - Mitchell
Consistently rugged running throughout spring practice by two veterans, neither a starter last season, has brightened Kansas' rushing picture for 1960.
One is Jim Jarrett, coming Coffeyville junior, who has been ramming tacklers in every scrimmage, mostly from right half. His companion is Fred Bukaty, tank-like coming senior fullback.
"If these two will continue to play as they have this spring," enthues Boss Jack Mitchell, "they will really help us. Contrary to what a lot of people think, halfback is our biggest weakness right now. We don't have enough speed, depth nor experience. We must have more threat out of these positions and we need it more than one deep."
Boudreau sat up in the ivory tower of his radio booth and criticized the stratagems of Grimm. He is not that kind of a person.
But it is a switch which might put ideas into the talkative heads of some other baseball men currently yawning into microphones as they publicly and privately scorn the fumbling antics going on below them.
Zen Buddhist, Sick Comic, Rational Therapist
How would you like to be a manager trying to flog life into a group of five-thumbed infielders, myopic batters and left-handed thinking pitchers — and have such knowledgeable gentlemen as Peewee Reese, Phil Rizzuto and Fred Haney reporting every move?

This trio currently is among the still available crop of broadcasters without managerial portfolio. And breathes there an ex-player so dead that he wouldn't like to take a shot at pulling the managerial strings?

They know that a manager's career can be shorter than a miser's reach. Already this year a world record has been set in this hazardous business. Eddie Sawyer lasted just one game with the Phils and Grimm made it through 17 games. That's two managers in a span of 18 games, and if you listen hard you can hear whispered prices on the lasting qualities of at least three others.
Two others, purposely overlooked in this category, are Dizzy Dean and Joe Garagiola. Not that they aren't talkers. Actually they'll talk you unconscious. But these two are good humor men dedicated to the enjoyment of life — including the hours between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.—and there is a suspicion here that you'd have to hold a gun on both of them to get them to take the boss' seat on the bench.

If it's true that a picture is worth a pound of words, you'd think those fellows upstairs would get smart and let the camera do the talking.
