GROVER ON THE WAY—Dan Grover, one of KU's leading bowlers warms up in a practice session on the Kansas Union Bowling Alleys. Grover rolled a 1711 series in the regionals to qualify for the National Collegiate Bowling championships.
Dan Grover In Bowling Finals
One of KU's outstanding bowler the past year, Dan Grover, ha qualified to roll in the Nationa Collegiate Bowling championshi in Dayton, Ohio.
The regionals were conducted on the home alleys while she championship will be face to face matches.
Grever, who rolled in the Star league the first semester and finished with one of the highest averages, bowled a 1711 series in the regionals to earn his place in the finals.
Key Players Lost To Baseball Team
Kansas' baseball team is probably too short in all departments to be a flag contender, but losses of key men have hurt the team even more.
Scholastic difficulties not only in the basketball squad but also KU's baseball team. Lost to this year's team due to grades is Curtis Melton, last year's RBI and HR leader; a second outfielder, Gene Dunnigan, No. 2 in club batting at 310; and sophomore pitcher Bob (Sam) Tryon, the staff's only lefty.
Grover is expected to give a good showing in the final roll-offs as he is one of the best collegiate bowlers around the Midwest.
Coach Floyd Temple's squad will also lose Cari Lauterjung who withdrew from school, John Hadl who will be concentrating on spring football, Ralph (Gabby) Wilson, waiving the season, and Joe Doolittle and Bill Clinkenbeard, No. 2 and 3 pitchers on last year's team.
Torero's Life Rough-Bull's Tougher
NEW YORK — (UPI) It isn't often you get a chance to meet a matador in Manhattan so it seems like news of some kind today to give you the scoop on Manolo Segura, Spain's newest torero terrifico.
By Oscar Fraley
Manolo hasn't, let it be said right off, changed my mind about bull fighting. I still think the bull has as much chance as Shirley Temple against Jack the Ripper.
But you can take it straight from Manolo, the bull gets in a few licks here and there.
"Twice he almost finish me off" said the dark-haired man who suddenly has bounced into the Spanish bull-sticking forefront along with Luis Dominguin and Antonio Ordonez. "In 1956, February, I take a horn in the right leg. In 1956, August, I take a bad horn under the arm near the heart. I am off a long time."
Not as long the bulls. Somebody else went in and finished off both of them.
This is not to imply that bull fighting doesn't take a high brand of
courage. Manolo, who is 28, stands only five feet, eight inches and weighs a mere 150 pounds. Naturally he wouldn't stand a chance head-on against a couple of tons of galloping beefsteak.
Fast footwork, blooding of the bull and the coup de grace with a kingsized stiletto makes it possible eventually for most bull fighters to retire with a tidy fortune.
Wednesday. March. 23. 1960 University Daily Kansan
There are very few retired bulls.
As example, last year in Spain there were 323 corridas, big-time pro fights, in which 1,998 bullets were slain. There also were 416 novilladas, kind of a Golden Gloves competition for semi-pros, in which toro bit the dust 2,496 times. That's 4,434 dead bulls.
One matador was killed, one diec of a fractured skull training against cows and a newspaperman was killed by a bull which ignored arena ethics and jumped the barrier. Which comes out 4,434 to 3 or makes the odds 1,478 to 1 in favor of the matador. Even better, if you ignore the newspaperman.
Most of the Spaniards I know are rasslers, boxers or barbers. Manolo looks like one of the latter but, he said as he sipped the Jerez Sherry which replaced our morning orange juice, he never wanted to be anything but a matador.
"I win the trophy of the Golden Ears in Malaga last year," he says like a rookie who just broke Babe Ruth's home run record.
This earned him an invitation to Ecuador as a kind of bat boy for Dominguio and Ordonez this winter. Manolo hit the jackpot by outshining both of them, which is tantamount to a preliminary boy flattening both Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson.
Isn't he afraid of the bull sometimes?
"I," said the little man, "am much more afraid of my dancing. I step on the feet too much."
Meaning he's much more graceful with a sword than with a senorita and, as long as the status remains quo, the bulls are in for a hard time.

K-State Spring Sports Start Monday
Three Kansas State spring sports teams open 1960 action next week.

against Washburn U. Tuesday (March 29); and Cat golfers begin the 1360 campaign Friday (April 1 against Washburn U., then host Wichita U. the following day.

WHO WENT TO THE PROM-AND WHY
"Hello," said the voice on the telephone. "This is Werther Sigafoos. I sit next to you in psych. I'm kind of dummy and I always wear a sweat shirt."
"I'm afraid I don't remember you," said Anna Livia Plurabelle.
"Werther," said Werther. "Yes, I know, but you are so round and beautiful that I was afraid you might have a date already."
"I'm the one whose lecture notes you've been borrowing for two years," said Werther.
"Oh, yes!" said Anna Livia. "What do you wish, Walter?" "Werther," said Werther. "What I wish is to take you to the Junior Prom next April."
"But this is November 27, Westnor," said Anna Livia.
"As a matter of fact I do, Wingate," said Anna Livia.
Anna Livia did not really have a date, but she was expecting to be asked by Stewart Stalwart, athletic and BMOC, handsome as Apollo, smooth as ivory, wearer of faultless tweeds, smoker of Marlboro cigarettes which even without his other achievements would stamp him as a man with know-how, with a pleasure-oriented palate. If you think flavor went out when filters came in, try a Marlboro. This one brims with zest and zip and the good, mild taste so dear to those who smoke for the pure joy of it. Get yourself a pack of Marlboros and listen to your friends say, "There, by George, goes a smoker who knows a hawk from a handsaw."
But I digress. Anna Livia waited and waited for Stewart Stalwart to ask her, but two days before the Prom, to everybody's amazement, he asked Rose-of-Sharon Schwartz, a non-descript girl with pavement-colored hair and a briefcase.
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, drat!"
The next day Anna Livia received a phone call from Stewart Stalwart. "My Prom date has come down with a dread virus," he said. "Will you go with me?"
Anna Livia immediately phoned Werther Sigafoos. "My Prom date has come down with a dread virus," she said, "and I have decided to accept your invitation, Waldrop."
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, goody ganders!"
"Certainly," she said and promptly phoned Werther and said, "I have come down with a dread virus and cannot go to the Prom with you, Whipstitch."
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, mice and rats!"
So Anna Livia went to the Prom with Stewart and who do you think they ran into? Rose-of-Sharon with Werther, that's who!
Stewart had felt obliged to ask Rose-of-Sharon because she always did his homework, but she had weaselied out because she really wanted to go with Werther with whom she felt a great oneness because they were both so dumpy. He fell wildly in love with her at the Prom, and today they are married and run a very successful five-minute auto wash in New Berm, N. C.
Anna Livia and Stewart are happy, too. They are still juniors and have not missed a prom in sixteen years. 1960 Max Shulman

We hope you'll be smoking Marlboros at your prom—or if you like mildness but you don't like filters—Philip Morris—from the same makers.
