Speaking of baseball, one of the KU players, Marion Bryant, told us the other day that his name appeared in the paper as Bill Bryant and since then many people have addressed him on campus with "Hi Bill." So just to set things straight, the shortstop on KU's baseball team is Marion Bryant.
Again, if you don't have anything special to do this afternoon, stop by Quigley Field which is just south of Allen Field House and give your team some backing.
Last week, the writer of this column urged KU students to attend the Jayhawkers' baseball game against Oklahoma State. So what happens — it rains!
The lack of returning backfield men for Coach Jack Mitchell's football squad is apparent when you watch Mitchell send the players through the spring drills. But it's not half as bad as it seems since four backs are on the baseball team.

Now it looks like I've got another chance to stress how much it can help a team to have the student body backing it. The Jays meet Emporia State today on Quigley Field at 3:30.
Many of the players and especially the coach, Floyd Temple, have voiced their opinion about how they would like to see a strong turnout at the game.
Doyle Schick and Norm Mailen are possibly the two most missed by Mitchell, but John Tonge and Jim Marshall could also develop into top players on the 1960 edition of KU's football squad.
Another returning starting back. Curtis McClinton, is missing the spring drills because of track.
After today's game with Emporia State, the Jays move to Boulder where they meet the Colorado Buffaloes.
Standing in their way will be Gene Lenderman, CU's captain and centerfielder who batted .333 last year. He is one of the top hands in the Big Eight and was named to the all-district NCAA team last year after leading Colorado in home runs (5) and runs batted in (18).

The Kansas baseball team takes on Emporia State today, a team which the Jays edged last week in 12 innings. 6-5.
Holler, Waldschmidt To Face E-State
Tom Holler and Gerry Waldschmidt have drawn the pitching assignments for Coach Floyd Temple's squad. Both are scheduled to pitch $4\frac{1}{2}$ innings.
The Jays hit for over an hour yesterday in preparation for today's game. Back in action was Doyle Schick who had been out for a week with the measles.
Coach Temple will start the same lineup that has started the last few games with a possible change at second base. Jim Talley who has started to hit after a slow start might be at second in place of Don Culp.
Tricksters Hit Lanes; Use 'Dodo' Ball in ABC
University Daily Kansan
The big gimmick on the hardwood lanes is the "dodge" ball. This simply is an off-balance or "loaded" ball which, in the hands of an expert, can be an instrument of tremendous maple devastation. It drives into the pins with more than ordinary force and spin and the results are positively astonishing on the score sheet. Such balls were outlawed years ago by the ABC.
So it figures that the good old 10- pin sports couldn't escape scot free
Any time there is a competition for prizes and/or money, particularly money, there is bound to be a certain amount of skulduggery said United Press International. Horse racing is a prime example with its perpetual stimulation cases and the thievery even extended to the social confines of golf with illegal clubs and balls.
Bowling, like any other sport, has its "sharp shooters" always angling for the winning "edge," and more than the usual quota of tricksters tried to pull a fast one in the American Bowling Congress tournament.
But that doesn't—and hasn't stopped the sharpshooters from trying. In this tournament, AEC officials had more trouble with attempts
to use the "dodo" than they have had in a number of years.
This is explained in part by the fact that the midwest is a bowling hotbed in which "pot game" bowling has reached a peak of fleecing efficiency seldom before believed possible. Pot game bowling is where a stranger challenges you to a match for $5 and loses. But when you bowl him a return—with the ante properly elevated—you lose.
The ABC had taken proper precautions to see that the "dodo" or loaded ball is not used in its annual extravaganza. It has its own F.B.I.—"fixed" ball investigators — which carefully weighs and measures every ball used in the tournament. They have discovered an amazing number of loaded balls which some innocent-appearing hustler tried to get past them for use in the tournament.
Anxious to protect the newly-sanitized name of bowling, now above suspicion as a "family sport," the ABC ball-wearers are more close-mouthed than a G-man at Cape Canavalal. So the number of "dodo" balls being discovered almost daily during this 79-day tournament is a closely-guarded state secret.

Racket Squad Moves North
Coach Denzel Gibbens takes his racket warriors north for bouts with Iowa State Friday and Nebraska Saturday as the Jayhawkers begin to wrap up one of the Mount Oread's most successful tennis seasons.
By Tom Clark
Bill Sheldon will be unable to make the road trip, but his shoes will be filled by another senior, Bill Gochis, who has performed well in a substitute role. It will not be the first road trip for Gochis who made the opening trek to Washburn and returned victoriously.
Statistics show that KU is stronger in singles than doubles. The Javahawkers have lost six doubles matches, while winning 12. In the last three duels, however, they have won all six, so improvement is obvious.
The Jays have conquered 9 of 10 opponents including the last six they have faced. Oklahoma State drubbed the Crimson-and Blue 7-0 on KU's first road trip of the season, but the team members feel they can atone for this with a good showing at the conference meet coming up in three weeks.
This weekend Coach Gibbens will play Mel Karrie in the top position with Pete Woodward, Dave Coupe and Jim Brownfield filling in the next three singles assignments. Woodward and Karrie have alternated in the top position throughout the season, each having played in the top spot five times. A playoff will decide who will represent KU in that top division at the conference meet.
After this weekend, KU journeya to Missouri for a final match before the all-important conference meet at Ames.
The Javihawkers have enjoyed almost complete authority on the courts since their meeting with Oklahoma State. They have won 24 of their last 25 matches and 51 of 67 overall. By slide rule calculation, the Javihawkers are enjoying a .760 winning percentage on individual matches.
Heading the list is senior, Jim Brownfield, who has dropped only one of his No. 4 singles matches and has compiled a 6-2 mark in the No. 2 doubles position. Mel Karrile, Pete Woodward, and Dave Coupe are right behind with 8-2 singles records. Bill Sheldon has won five of eight singles matches, and Bill
Gochis, one, to complete the singles standing.
