O'Brien, who didn't make a hit all last season, singled across the winning run in the 10th inning to give the Milwaukee Braves a 4-3 decision over the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday while Aparicio, a slick-field but light-hitting shortstop, drove in both runs with a fifth-inning single as the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 2-0.

Although the freshmen have not yet proven themselves, Mitchell said many of them will be called upon for extensive duty next fall. "This shows what a green team we have," the KU coach said.
The squad worked two hours yesterday on fundamental drills, passing, and blocking. Workouts will be confined to fundamentals, at the rate of four practices a week, for the first two weeks. Coach Mitchell said the team seems to be in pretty good shape, many having spent the winter running to stay in condition.
Assisting Coach Mitchell in coaching duties are George Bernhardt, Bobby Goad, Bill Pace, Don Fambrough, Tom Triplett, Wayne Replogle, Bill Blasi, and Frank Gibson.
Spring practice had originally been scheduled to begin Monday, but muddy fields caused it to be
