Easton:'What We Need Is Sunshine To Work In'
Coach Bill Easton expressed optimism towards the coming KU outdoor track season but said that good weather is needed more than anything else for the Jayhawkers to get in full swing.
"The boys have been looking good in the work they have been done," he said. "What we need is some good sunshine to work in. I think we will probably come along all right then."
Easton said that the runners have been working outdoors even in the bad weather but that the men in field events are still working in the field house because of the wet pits. The partial sunshine Wednesday allowed the track men to work at Memorial Stadium and also gave the weight men a chance to get outdoors. However the pole vaulters and high jumpers were still forced to practice indoors.
KU Expected to Dominate
KC Expected Kansas is expected to dominate Big Ten outdoor track after its sweeping victory in the recent indoor meet. The Jayhawkers scored 64 points to Missouri's second place total of 46%.
The addition of several new stars should make the Kansans even stronger outdoors. Blaine Hollinger, KU basketball player who joined the Jayhawkers for the indoor meet and won the broad jump, will be ready for full-time duty. Easton said that he also will use Hollinger in the dashes in an attempt to strengthen one of the team's weaker events.
John Parker, another KU basketballer throws the javelin and will be a strong contender in that event. Bill Brown, former KU letterman in the javelin, has returned to school after a shortlayoff and should give Parker some strong backing.
Al Oerter, who won the Big Seven indoor shotput, will also add much strength to the outdoor team in the discus throw. Oerter won the 1956 Olympic discus throw and should be a threat to break all existing records in his specialty.
Big Seven indoor champions who will return to help the Jayhawkers defend their outdoor title are: Hollinger, broad jump; Oerter, shotput; Bernie Gay, mile run; Ray Wyatt, 440-dyard dash; Jerry McNeal, 2-mile run; and Lowell Janzen, 880- yard run.
Gay ran the best mile of his career in 4:15-1 to win the indoor.
Strong In 440-Dash
Wyatt, Larry and Louie Stroup and Mike Cummins will make the 440-yard dash one of the strongest events KU will enter. McNeal has proved himself to be one of the Jayhawker's best distance runners of all-time, dipping to as low as 9:06 in the 2-mile. Janzen will be another strong threat in the powerful distance crew.
Kent Floerke will back Holling-
er in the broad jump and should also be KU's top high jumper. Bill Tillman is the top Kansas threat in the 120-yard high hurdles and 220-yard high hurdles. Jan Howell and Hal Long will give Gay strong backing in the mile run. Dave Tams should be a big threat to win the Big Seven pole vault.
The first meet is April 5-6 when the Jayhawkers will enter the Texas Relays. Time trials will be run this weekend to determine what men will represent KU at the Texas meet.
Phi Gams Play For KU Crown
Phi Gamma Delta defeated Beta Theta Pi in the Fraternity A league finals Wednesday night in Robinson Gymnasium. Phi Gam earned the right to play the Set-Ups for the University intramural volleyball championship at 6:30 p.m. today in Robinson Gymnasium.
The Fijis won the first game, 15-12, by fighting off a Beta rally. In the second game Beta, after being behind 12-4, fought back to deuce at 14 all. But Phi Gam settled down and won, 16-14, on the power of Jimmy Tierney's spiking and the defensive play of John Husar.
The Set-Ups downed Liahona Fellowship, 15-12 and 15-7, to win the Independent championship for the third consecutive year.
In the Fraternity B finals TKE came back in the last two games to defeat Beta. TKE lost the first game, 15-2, but won the last two, 15-10 and 15-13.

"Being a month behind gives us a great handicap in the Big Seven also, but if we play good ball after the vacation tour we might take third in the conference.behind Oklahoma and Missouri."

The batters have had some practice in the Allen Field House with the aid of a pitching machine. The pitchers, however, have had little chance to actually throw to a batter.
The club is strong on paper but lacks experience due to a lack of practice.
Temple: A Month Behind
Inexperience Will Handicap Jayhawker Baseball Squad
Temple said, "Our club is at least a month behind the others we are to play. Also all the clubs we will be playing during the vacation will have played at least seven games before we will met them. Our team has had only one inter squad game and only two of our pitches have gone the full nine innings so far this season."
Coach Floyd Temple will take an inexperienced baseball club on its southern tour starting April 1.
The starting lineup will consist of Barry Donaldson catching, Jim Trombold at first, Don Pftutzenreuter at second, Barry Robertsen at short-stop, Don Steinmeyer at third, Ed Dater in right field, Bob Marshall in center and Ron Wiley in left. When Wiley is pitching Don Martin, Mark Boxberger, or Joe Eichorn will take the left field duty.
Wiley, Miller Head Pitchers The pitching staff is made up of Ron Wiley, Larry Miller, Bob Shirley, Gary Fenity, Don Martin, and Gary Russell.
Jack Eskridge hit 30 points against Nebraska in 1948, all of which were scored in the second half.
In 1899 the Jayhawkers held William Jewell to three points, winning 19-3.
The club will leave Saturday morning at 5 a.m. and will practice in Henryetta, Okla. It will arrive in Houston, Texas, Sunday afternoon.
Monday, April 1, the Jayhawkers play the University of Houston. On Tuesday and Thursday they meet Rice University, then meet Houston again on Friday. The KU team moves to Waco, Texas, to play the University of Baylor on April 6th ending the spring tour.
Coach Temple will either start pitcher Ron Wiley or Larry Miller in the first game against Houston.
