Great Comeback By Larry Miller

Larry Miller, who until Saturday was called Kansas' hard-luck pitcher, is now again one of the vital cogs in the Jayhawkers drive toward the top of the Big Seven baseball standings. He pitched a no-hitter against Colorado Saturday. It was a great comeback for Larry Miller.
Miller, a fireballing lefthand, lost four games at the first of the season due to poor support from his teammates. His fourth straight loss, against Kansas State, was marked by poor fielding and hitting. Miller
lost despite the fact that he struck out 13 batters and scattered seven hits.
Saturday against Colorado, however, Miller faced only 26 batters, striking out eight, walking two and hitting one. His fast ball and breaking curve completely baffled the Buff batters.
Miller is a sophomore from Topeka who played semi-pro baseball last sumer with the D-X Oilers placed second in the state semi-pro tournament and fifth in the national tourney. He and Ron Wiley, KU
righthander from Kansas City, Kansas, were the mainstays of the Oilers hurling staff.
The only threat to Miller's no-hitter Saturday came in the fifth inning when Colorado catcher Bob McIntyre smashed a line drive to right field but Fuzzy Martin came up with a good catch and the no-hitter was still going.
Miller's teammates came through too. The Jayhawkers scored three runs in the second inning, added one in the fifth and three more in the sixth.
