KU to Have Full Squad For Relays
KU track coach Bill Easton says the team is in good shape for the grueling weekend ahead. None of the men are out with injuries. The team will have had a two-week rest since their last meet by the time the relavs weekend rolls around.
Seven of 15 individual Kansas Relays champions will be returning to Lawrence this weekend and not one of them is a safe bet to reclaim his title.
Bruce Parker, a Texas javelin thrower who won the title last year by throwing 232-81$\frac{1}{2}$, will be competing with Bill Alley, KU's newly established American champion. Alley has already bettered Parker's mark by almost 40 feet.
Broad jumper Ernie Shelby, who has shown that he can better the 26-foot mark, has had troubles with a leg muscle this year. Any recurrence of this would mean another champion out of the games.
Dee Givens, Oklahoma 100-yard dash man and Jerry Smartt, Houston two-miler, are champions who may be hindered by physical handicaps. Givens was injured in the Big Eight Indoor meet when he lost his 60-yard title to KU's Charlie Tidwell. Smartt has been nursing a virus and has not scored in any major meet this season.
John Macy, also a Houston distance man, won the West Texas Relays two-mile race this season with 9:35.5 but was beaten in the Border Olympics by SMU's Jan Ahlberg, who clocked 9:16.
Jim Green, Missouri high jumper, tied with KU's Dick Taylor last year at 6-6/4, but has lost three times running during the indoor season to Bob Cannon of Kansas.
Jack Smyth, Houston hop, skip and jump man, may have the inside track to this event. Last year he retained his title with a 49.2 mark.
'Satch' Released
MIAMI — (UPI) — Colorful Leroy (Satchell) Paige was free today to join any team in organized baseball. The long-time hurler, who lives at Kansas City, was given his unconditional release yesterday by the Miami Marlins.
At the same time, the Marlins said they signed veteran pitcher Virgil (Fireball) Trucks, formerly of the Kansas City Athletics. The Marlins said Trucks, who had a 2-1 record as a reliefer for New York last year, turned down several big league offers to play for Miami.
Paige, said the Marlins, was a constant problem with his tardiness for airplane flights and accusations that the club owed him money. Paige's latest venture has been as a part-time movie actor in Hollywood.
Major League Play Resumes
By United Press International
The San Francisco Giants and Chicago White Sox make their home debuts as unbeaten, front-running contenders today when an estimated 265,000 fans are expected to view major league baseball's seven "secondary" openers.
Off in front with three straight victories under their belts, the Giants and White Sox will be out to keep the pressure on the defending league champions in the next six days. The Giants have three games each with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals and the White Sox play six games against the Kansas City Athletics and Detroit Tigers before either hits the road again.
The Giants are sending Jack Sanford, acquired from Philadelphia during the winter, against Dave Hillman while the White Sox have Billy Pierce going against Kansas City's Ralph Terry.
