Baseball Squad Is Preparing For Tough 18-Game Slate
Coach Floyd Temple's baseball team is now getting in shape for another rough season. During spring vacation, when the rest of the school is taking a rest, the baseball team will be on a southern tour, stopping off four days in Houston, Texas.
There they play the University of Houston and Rice University twice each. They then move to Waco to play Baylor in a single game and return home to take on league teams for the remainder of the season.
Coach Temple will be relying on the strong right arm of Ron Wiley and Larry Miller, a strong sophomore fast baller who played with the Topeka DX ball club that was made up of most of last years baseball staff.
Supplying additional help to the mound staff will be reliefer Gary Fenity, a senior with tremendous poise. Behind the plate will be last years steady backstop Barry Donaldson.
Barry Robertson will be the regular shortstop and Jim Trombold will see a lot of action at first base. Other than Ed Dater in center field the rest of the positions are still unsettled.
Steinmeyer To Infield Don Steinmeyer will be moved into the infield to fill a large gap Left at third base by the graduation of Forrest Hoglund. The second base position looks like a battle between Don Pfutzenreuter and Dale Gulledge, the winner playing little more than the other.
The two outfield positions remaining will be open to the ability of
the remainder of the Kansas squad.
Another bright star in the outlook for this year's ball club is the addition of Bob Shirley a speed ball pitcher who had a tough time with a sore arm in the past.
With Shirley included in the Kansas mound staff we will have one of the strongest collections of good starters Kansas had had in a long time.

Connolly To Czechoslovakia
LONDON — (UP) — According to the Czech news agency, Harold Connolly, American's Olympic hammer throwing champion, has arrived in Czechoslovakia to train with Czech athletes. The agency said Connolly will train with Czech athletes until March 6 and hold a "discussion evening" with them.
The University of Notre Dame library has the largest Dante collection in the United States.
Forte, Thompson Head All-Stars
NEW YORK — (UP) — Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia and Gary Thompson of Iowa State, two of the nation's nifftest basketball players regardless of size, headed the ninth annual "small America" team compiled today by the United Press.
Cavalry did not become a potent military arm until the stirrup was invented.
In addition to the high-scoring Forte (5-9) and Thompson (5-10), the first team included sophomore Don Hennon (5-9) of Pittsburgh, Tom Steinke (5-10) of Brigham Young and Jimmy Boothe (5-7) of Xavier. Boothe is the only repeater from last year's team.
The "small America" is strictly for the little men-none taller than 5-10—but the 5 vest-pocket aces selected this year have proved week after week there's a definite place for the small man among the giants who dominate the modern game.
Forte has been in and out of the national scoring lead at various stages and still boasts an average of 29.1 points per game. Thompson, a slick defensive star and playmaker, has a 21-point average and twice this year outscored Wilt Chamberlain in their three perusal duels.
