LET'S GO THERE—Coach Floyd Temple directs infield practice from a favorable viewpoint.
Baseball Positions Settled For Season Opener April 1
With Bob Marshall replacing the graduated Bob Conn, positions on the baseball team are pretty well settled.
Rightfieldder Ed Dater, who had the highest batting average in the Big Seven last year, is now devoting all of his time to basketball but should be in the starting lineup for the opening game.
A three-way battle is shaping up for the other outfield position. Bob Moya, Ernie Russell, and Mark Boxberger are all fighting for the position and coach Floyd Temple is still undecided as to who will win the job.
The infield is pretty well taken care of with Bob Donaldson at catcher, Jim Trombold at first base, Don Pfitzenreuter at second base, Barry Robertson at short, and Steinmeyer at third base.
All of these men are experienced and won letters last year.
Staff Is Deen
KU has two top pitching prospects
this year in junior Ron Wiley and sophomore Larry Miller.
Another pitcher with good potential is Bob Shirley. Rounding out the pitching staff are Fuzzy Martin, Gary Fenity, Gary Russell, and Bill Sleight.
The new conference schedule features each team playing one game on Friday and a double header on Saturday.
"This will greatly hamper any team without at least three front line pitchers." Temple said.
Weather permitting, there will be an intra-squad game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Coach Temple said "interest of students in baseball at Kansas has always been low, but will probably improve when the new diamond is completed in 1958.
The new diamond will be situated west of Allen Field House. Grading has already started, and it should be ready to go next spring."

Big Seven by saying, "Kansas has two of the strongest pitchers in the league in Ron Wiley and Larry Miller. With them we also have two outstanding seniors in Bob Shirley and Don Martin. If the rest of the squad keeps pace, KU will be up in the top of the conference standings."
in the state and national semi-pro tournaments held in Wichita last summer, Donaldson was elected one of the best young prospects.
Donaldson began his baseball career in Springfield, Mo. where, durin his high school days, he collected an all-state award in both baseball and football.
Possessing a good strong right arm and an accurate batting eye, Donaldson became the starting catcher for the Topeka squad. He bats left-handed.
At KU last season Donaldson hit 270 and then kept in shape by playing for Topeka's D-X Oilers during the summer. The Oilers were one of the Midwest's top semi-pro teams.
