Mather Satisfied With Grid Practices
Coach Chuck Mather expressed satisfaction with his Jayhawker football team during spring practice as the Kansans wind up their last week of practice, which will be climaxed by the varsity-alumni clash at 2 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
"The boys have had a very fine attitude in every practice. They are hitting very hard. In fact, I feel confident that we'll bump harder right this moment than we've ever bumped before," Mather said.
"I have been very pleased with the squad all through spring practice." Mather said. "Considering the fact that we had only 20 days to work out, I think we have had very good development."
Mather explained that the varsity-alumni clash should be a very good test for the varsity.
Good Test Saturday
"I feel that this is the best alumni team we have ever had to face," he said. "With their big and powerful line they are bound to be very tough."
He added that this big line could make passing a very important factor if the varsity is to win the game. He also said that it is to the alumni's advantage to be allowed to use the free substitution rule.
"Part of the game is to tire out your opponent," he said.
Most of the Jayhawker's practices this spring have been devoted to defensive drills. Last week the squad stressed offense, but Mather said that this week would be devoted to a combination of the two phases.
Varsity At Full Strength
The Jayhawkers will also be at nearly full strength for the meeting with the alumni, providing no injuries occur this week. Jim Hull, senior tackle, is expected to be the only varsity player to miss the game.
Probable starters for Saturday's varsity squad are: H. C. Palmer and Jim Letcavits, ends; Frank Gibson and Ron Clalborne, tackles; Tom Russell and Paul Swoboda, guards; Chet Van Atta, center; Wally Strauch, quarterback; Charlie McCue and Homer Floyd, halfbacks; Bill Horn, fullback.
Those working on the second unit are expected to be: John Peppercorn and Tom Horner, ends; Jim Brookes and Ed Prelock, tackles; Bap Kraus and Ervell Staab, guards; Ed Fletcher, center; Larry McCowan, quarterback; Ray Barnes and Bob Hoesing, halfbacks; DeWitt Lewis, fullback.
Place-Kicker May Answer Grid Woes
For lack of one point last autumn, Kansas had to accept a 27-27 tie with College of Pacific instead of a victory. For lack of two points it lost to Colorado's Orange bowl champions, 25-26. For the absence of three the Jayhawkers went down before arch-rival Missouri, 13-15. Coach Chuck Mather thinks he's found a pinch-hitter for like situations during the '57 season.
The lad's name is Ray Barnes, who, at 5-8, won't stand much taller than the extra-point holder. He's a sophomore left halfback out of Tacoma, Wash., who's only football experience beyond the high school level is with a Navy team in Honolulu.
Mather tabs the squat 178-pounden the best place-kicker in his tenure here. Aside from extra-point duty, he carries a consistent field goal range up to 30 yards.
Wilt Wins Bowling Event
Wilt Chamberlain won the all events of the Men's Campus Bowling Tournament with a score of 1846 last week. "Folks who win must bowl clear above their average," said Bascom C. Fearing, manager of the Student Union alleys. The second and third placers were William Strickland with 1820 and Rex Lawhorn with 1811.
The team event championship was taken by the Mavericks whose score was 2374. The team members were William Strickland, Wilt Chamberlain, Kenneth McCart, Dannie P. Gomez, Charles Tidwell. The Misfits rolled 2316 for second place and the Houndogs 2282 for third place.
Wade A. Lambel and Rex Lawhorn won the doubles with 1287 which topped last year's record. William R. Howard and Mark Boxberger were second with 1226. Third place went to Norman Jack Brown and Matthew Pordreprak with 1222.
Leo J. Schlick won the singles with 636. Gary L. Schugart rolled 632 and Larry Kevan rolled 627.

Mantle, Yankees Off And Running
By UNITED PRESS
The man and the team who produced the top slugging heroes of 1956 are off and running at last today-at the expense of a pair of "jinx" pitchers.
Mickey Mantle, the American League's triple crown winner, connected for his first homer of the season Monday night as the New York Yankees crushed the Washington Senators, 15-6, with a 16-hit barrage.
The Cincinnati Redlegs, meanwhile, finally scored their first victory of 1957 when they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-6.
The unbeaten Milwaukee Braves ran their winning streak to five games with a 9-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs; the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1, and Willie Mays' three-run homer gave the New York Giants a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the other National League games. The Kansas City Athletics defeated the Detroit Tigers, 11-7, and the Baltimore Oroles scored a 7-5 decision over the Boston Red Sox in the other American League games.
