Two KU coaches recently have been receiving almost as much publicity as their teams.
By Doug Yocom
Baseball coach Floyd Temple is looking for a captain for his team. The only prerequisite necessary is a minute showing of baseball talent. So far Temple's team has a 0-6 record in the Big Eight.
Last Friday Temple had the misfortune of losing his lead-off hitter, Captain Bob Marshall, who doubles as a football star.
According to reports, Marshall and another player were about a minute late for the bus that was to take the team from the hotel to the baseball field in Ames, Iowa, prior to Friday's game. Marshall and said player had a cab and headed for the Cyclone's field. Soon Temple and Marshall provided some unusual pregame excitement as they engaged in a verbal battle.
Here the reports conflict. Marshall was supposedly dismissed from the squad during the argument. However, Marshall remained on the Kansas bench throughout the game. After the game he hitch-hiked home.
Temple said that while Marshall remained at the game he had been dropped from the squad previous to gametime.

The other coach sharing the lime-light with Temple is track coach Bill Easton who insists the best trackmen should have the best of tracks.
Few people disagree. KU definitely needs a new track. Easton and a crew had to toil most of Friday night to dry the cinders to a useable condition for Saturday's relay events. Even then the clockings were consistently slower than usual.
KU is going to have to provide a suitable track if it wants to attract the nation's best athletes to the Kansas Relavs. Easton savs.
KU's track is more mud than cinders. It has been repacked this past week in hopes of preparing it for the Missouri meet Saturday. The new track would be packed so the water could drain through the cinders leaving the surface dry. Yesterday was the first day the team was able to work out on the track since the Relays. Coach Easton says a little rain and there would be no track meet at KU this Saturday.
But the price tag on the new layer of cinders approaches the $70,000 mark. Denzell Gibbens, tennis coach, and Jay Markley, swimming coach, probably have visions of what they could do if they only had an additional couple of thousand a year for scholarships.
But they can't even obtain that. To go a step further, the swimming pool is inadequate and some of the varsity tennis courts have cracks in the cement.
Coach Easton's request certainly is not unreasonable. The Kansas Relays are nationally known. But if they are to continue to be a top attraction, we are going to need additional facilities.

Tigers to Challenge KU in Dual Meet
The Jayhawker track team will meet the Missouri Tigers in the last home meet and only home dual meet of the season next Saturday.
By Ted Dielman
Several Kansas boys have been out with injuries and illness the past week and the team has had difficulty in working on on the torn-up track. However, a glance at the times and distances shows that Missouri should be defeated by a fairly wide margin.
Missouri has several men who should win their events but their team lacks the depth that the Jayhawkers have.
No Predictions
Coach Easton says it is hard to make predictions about a track meet because a few boys could always have a bad day and the team could drop as much as fifteen points.
Missouri's Joe Webb is a possible Tiger winner in the pole vault; Webb, a 22-year-old senior reached the 14-foot mark in the Drake Relays.
Henry Wiebe, Missouri's most versatile performer, could mean some firsts in the sprints.
Other possible first-places for Missouri are: James Sanders, mile; Calvin Groff, hurdles; and Richard Cochran, shot.
Doctors Say Beer Can be Training Aid
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (UPI) • The red-meat-and-milk approach towards building burly athletes is nonsense, according to two Harvard nutrition experts. And when a coach catches his ace backfield man quaffing a class or beer or sipping a cocktail, he shouldn't get too excited. It won't hurt his All America chances one bit.
These are the opinions presented last night by Dr. Frederick Stare and Sr. Jean Maver, both professors of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.
In the Big Eight Outdoor meet coming up at Norman the weekend of May 15-16 Kansas should come through in its usual style with its eighth straight championship.
Easton, however, says he thinks it will be a "tough meet with plenty of good individual competition." Kansas probably will not win again by the overwhelming (75½ points) margin that it did last year.
Oklahoma should give the Jayhawkers the roughest time this year, with Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma State coming in close behind.
Coach Easton says that the Big Eight Conference is especially tough this year. He says that out of seven field events in the relays this year, teams from the Big Eight won five and broke records in three of them.
At the Kansas-Missouri meet this Saturday seven KU seniors will be participating in their last home meet. They are: Bob Cannon, high jump; Berry Crawford and John Davis, distances; Linda Lida, 440; Jim Londerholm, javelin; captain Ernie Shelby, broad jump, and Tom Skutka, distances.
