University Daily Kansan SPORTS Sophs Compensate For Track Losses
Although there are great losses to be made up, Jayhawk track coach Bill Easton is building for another top season and prospects for a drop in conference standings are out. Easton said that his new group of men is excellent.
Easton lost a number of stars from last year's team which placed second in the NCAA track meet. Gone are Al Oerter in the shot and discus, Kent Floerke in the hop-step-jump, Jerry McNeal in the mile and two mile, Ray Wyatt in the 440, Verlyn Schmidt in the distances, and Mike Cummings in the 440.
"Our losses could hurt us but we have a great group of sophomores," Easton said. The men last year won the postal outdoor, indoor, and cross country Big Eight freshman meets.
Hopes Are High
"I think we can have a very fine team. Hopes are as high as they were for last year's team. This year we hope to be a bride instead of a bridesmaid."
Work in Fall
The sophomores who will add to the team's strength are hurdlers Darwin Ashbaugh, Ron Miller, and Bob Okerstrom; dashmen Paul Williams and John Redick, and distance men Dan Ralston and Bill Mills.
The team, which trains throughout the school year, is taking advantage of the cool weather. More than 60 men are on the squad.
Easton thinks the idea of practice throughout the school years is the reason for winning track teams.
"In the fall we have time to work on the fundamentals and find out some of the boys' mistakes. If we only practiced in the spring, many mistakes would go unnoticed."
Bob Albright, Pittsburg, Pa., shot put (48-23%).
In addition to his sophomores, Easton is confident in the ability of this year's freshman group. Following is a list of freshman track men:
(Don Barnett, Tulsa, Okla., 100

Athletics Win Last KC Game
KANSAS CITY, Mo—(UPI)—The Kansas City Athletics closed their 1958 home season last night with a 7-4 win over Cleveland—thanks to Roger Maris who blasted two long homers.
Maris walloped his first drive to lead off the fourth and then hit his second in the eighth with a man aboard. Ralph Terry and Ray Herbert combined to hold the Indians with Terry getting credit for the win, his 11th against 13 losses
The A's have a day off today and then journey to Chicago for the last three games of the season. Kansas City remained in seventh place today as sixth-place Baltimore, just $11_{\frac{2}{3}}$ games ahead, whipped Washington 2-0.
Gary Bell took the Cleveland loss. Russ Nixon, Bobby Avila and Rocky Colavito contributed homers for the Indians. It was Colavito's 39th roundtripper of the season.
WICHITA, Kan. — (UPI) — The Wichita Vickers yesterday named Alex Hannum, former coach of the world champion St. Louis Hawks, their new head coach.
A crowd of 8.811 attended the A's final home game and boosted the season's total attendance to 925,090.
Hannum succeeds Bruce Drake, who coached the Vickers to the cc-championship last year and retired earlier this week to enter the real estate business in Norman, Okla.
Vickers Get Hawks' Coach
The Vickers are in the National Industrial Basketball league.
Hannum left the Hawks this spring when he failed to get a long-term contract.
He joined the Hawks when they were floundering two seasons ago. They won the Western Division title the first season under his guidance, then lost a World Championship series to the Boston Celtics.
They repeated as Western Champs and won the title from the Celtics this past season.
Oklahomaans Bolster KU Freshman Squad
Oklahoma University, long regarded as Big Eight champion in the matter of luring prospective football players to its doors, has slipped a little this year.
Three Oklahoma men, all of whom were offered Sooner scholarships, are now working out with the Kansas freshman team. They are Bill McKenny, Wilfred Bales and Ben Boydston. All are high school all-state players.
The first question that pops into mind is: Why would anybody pass up an opportunity to play for the Sooners and come to Kansas?
Well, it seems that Kansas has what the men wanted in the way of an education. And, of course, all three gave the new KU coaching staff a quick examination and decided that future prospects for the Javahawks look good.
Bales and McKenny are the largest of the trio. Bales is 5-feet 11-inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. McKenny is an even 6-feet and weighs 205.
Boydston, whose brother Max was a Sooner All America four years ago, is 5-feet 10-inches and weighs 180 pounds.
Bales is a tackle, Boydston is an end, and McKenny alternates between the two positions.
The three played in the North-South high school all-star game in Oklahoma City last year. From their play in the North-South game, they were chosen to represent their state in the Oil Bowl game. The Oil Bowl game is an annual affair played between the high school stars of Texas and Oklahoma.
Bobby Goad, one of KU's assistant football coaches, played a big role in getting the boys to come to KU. Goad was Bales' high school coach at Tulsa Central. He also lived in Boydston's home town of Muskogee and is a friend of the Boydston family.
Don Fambrough, KU freshman coach, said that all three boys are doing well and are fine prospects.

Jayhawkers Will Lose Burnison for Season
Bill Burnison, first team center, will play no more this season, Dr. Kollbjorn Jenssen, team physician, said yesterday. Burnison injured his leg during the TCU game.
An operation yesterday disclosed that the injury was a torn ligament.
Today is the last day the Jayhawkers have to work into shape for Saturday night's game with the Oregon State Beavers. Tomorrow morning, 36 players begin the trip to the West Coast, Other. Invited
Others Injured
Three other top players are still on the injury list and will not play Saturday. They are guards Tom Russell and Dick Rohlf and tackle Bill Blasi.
Coach Jack Mitchell made no position changes during yesterday's drill. Chet Vanatta stayed in the center spot he was shifted to the day before.
The team continued to work on a defense against Oregon State's single wing offense. Dummy drills and goal-line offense were an important part of the practice.
Clubs Offer Competition In Minor Sports for Students
Any student at the University is eligible to compete in soccer, gymnastics, fencing, volleyball or be on a rifle team.
Do you know the difference between a foil and a foul? Are you proficient in bouncing the old soccer ball around on your head? If so, then the KU Sports Club Assn. may interest you.
The program is administrated by a board of five men, Walter Mikols, intramural director, A. C. Lonborg, athletic director, Lawrence Heeb, assistant professor of physical education, Ed Elbel, professor of physical education, and Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education, make up the board.
"We are trying to interest people in sports which aren't too well recognized," said Mr. Shenk.
The volleyball team is one of the best known groups in the association. The team, which is coached by Kevin Jones, will compete in about eight tournaments this year. The team placed second in the National Collegiate Tournament last year.
The soccer team, coached by Gerald Keltch, instructor of architecture, will have a number of matches. Last year the team was undefeated
in eight matches.
The gymnastics team, coached by Dick Launtad, instructor of physical education, the fencing team coached by John Giele, sociology instructor, and the rifle squad, lead by Col. Ralph Hanchin, professor, Army ROTC, will all have competition with other schools.
