Unbeaten OU Hurler Faces KU Baseball Nine
Tommy Risinger, Oklahoma fireballer who is unbeaten in two years of Big Seven competition, stands directly in the path of Kansas' baseball team as it take a jog through Soonerville. The team left today.
KU coach Floyd Temple will start either Ron Wiley or Larry Miller in the first game and either Bob Shirley, Wiley or Miller in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.
Wiley Lone Winner
Risinger has won 10 games and lost none in his sophomore and junior years.
Wiley, however, may be more than a match for Risinger. The hard pitching, hard hitting righthander salvaged the only Kansas victory of the series in Texas when he allowed Rice only three hits while striking out 10. The Jayhawkers won, 4-1.
Only three Jayhawkers, Barry Robertson, Jim Trombold and Bob Marshall, are hitting the ball at a .300 clip or better.
Trombold has collected two hits in each game and is boasting a 615 average. One of his hits was a towering home run which cleared the 390-foot fence at Seguin, Texas. Kansas lost that game, 10-7, to Texas Lutheran.
Robertson is hitting a very healthy .333 while Marshall, a recruit from spring football training, is at .308.
Against Oklahoma Barry Donaldson will be behind the plate, Don Steinmeyer will be at third, Barry Robertson at shortstop, DP Fnitzeerreut at second and Jim Trombold at first.
Wiley Also An Outfielder
In the outfield it will be Bob Marshall in center, Ed Dater in right and Loren Martin in left. Wiley will play left field when he is not pitching.
If Kansas is able to sweep both games against Oklahoma, Missouri will go into a slight Big Seven lead. That also, of course, would put the Jayhawkers in a much better position to finish high in the conference race.
Odds-Makers All Choose Yankees
NEW YORK. -(UP) The New York Yankees, rated at 1-3, were believed today to be the shortest-priced pennant favorite ever listed by Broadway odds-makers.
The lopsided "book" on the American League race rated the other four "contenders" for the flag all at 8-4—the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox. Kansas City, Baltimore, and Washington were written off at 100-1.
The odds-makers switched away from the champion in the National League and rated Milwaukee a 7-5 pennant favorite. Champion Brooklyn was second choice at 2-1, followed by Cincinnati at 4-1, St. Louis at 6-1, Pittsburgh at 30-1, Philadelphia at 50-1, and New York and Chicago each 100-1.
Patterson-Robinson Feud Flames Anew
GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y. —(UP) a feud to rival that between the Hatfield and the Coyas was laming today between Floyd Paterson and middleweight challenger Ray Robinson because, the heavyweight champion declared, "that man talks mean about me."
Patterson and Robinson both have been training at Long Pond Inn and for almost a month tempers have been mounting daily. The icy hostility, in which they walk silent circles around each other, was disclosed when Patterson refused to pose with Robinson for photographers.

Score May Be Set For Third Strikeout Title
Herb Score, the Cleveland Indians' left-handed flamethrower, is ready to start shooting for a third straight major-league strikeout crown on opening day, if the Indians want him.
Showing no bad effects from the swollen right knee that has bothered him during spring training, the 23-year-old 20-game winner at last showed regular-season form last night as he pitched seven shutout innings and fanned seven batters in a 4-1 triumph over the Giants at Miami.
Don Drysdale became the first Brooklyn pitcher to go nine innings as he blanked the Milwaukee Braves, 5-0, on four hits. He fanned five.
Veteran Bob Lemon, who has been scheduled to hurl the Indians' opener next Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, was called home to Long Beach, Calif. yesterday because of the death of his sister.

Ron Northey, and Larry Doby led the White Sox to a 9-7 win over the Cardinals...Ex-Yankee Rip Coleman yielded just one run in seven innings for Kansas City in a 4-2 victory over Little Rock...Bob Rush, the Cubs' opening-game pitcher, was raped for 11 hits in six innings in a 7-3 loss to Baltimore...and Hoak continued his good spring play for Cincinnati with three hits and two stolen bases in a 6-2 victory over Washington.
Vince Cohen is the only Syracuse University basketball player to score 500 points in one season.
Friendly Atmosphere Seen As Key To KU Track Success
One of the most important factors in Kansas' great Track Teams is that they get so much out of their practices because Bill Easton has created an atmosphere which makes it enjoyable to work.
As one freshman trackster said, "He treats you like a father, jokes around and has a good time just like everyone else, but while you're running, he's serious."
Easton Checks Progress
Each team member respects the rest of the team and appreciates criticism because it helps him improve.
Swearing Not Permitted
Because so many things are going on at one time, it is impossible for Easton to give personal attention to everyone. He has the team perform for him, a group at a time, to see how they are doing. The relay teams practice baton passes, the hurdlers perform, then the broad jumpers.
It is the athlete's own duty to get himself ready for these performances. The individuals know what they have to do and their teammates are glad to help them.
Swearing Not Permitted
Easton does not permit swearing and has a simple fining system to see that it does not happen. "It's a dime per word unless it becomes flagrant, then we get them for a
Trotters In Ninth Win Over All-Stars
SEATTLE - (UP) - The Harlem Globetrotters pulled away in the second half here last night to post an 81-68 basketball victory over the College All-Stars.
The victory was the Globetrotters ninth in eleven starts against the Collegians.

quarter." Does he collect? "You bet I do!" he said.
At recent time trials Easton stood in the center of the football field shouting instructions during the races, but when they were over, he let out whoops of congratulation.
Through this friendly atmosphere and attitude Easton has built one of the strongest track teams in the nation.
