Summer Session Kansan Tuesday, June 20. 196
By Chuck Morelock
Oh, how I wish I'd been there...Local baseball fans saw one of the greatest pitching exhibitions in major league history at Kansas City Friday night.
Lou Krausse, the fabled 18-year-old, $125,000 bonus rookie, proved a kid can make the jump from the high school ranks to the big time with a minimum adjustment as he whitewashed the slugging Los Angeles Angels 4-0. Krausse, who graduated from high school barely three weeks ago, gave up only three hits, all singles.
According to radio reports, the Chester (Pa.) youth had the crowd of 30,000 plus cheering on every pitch. And when he retired the final LA bitter on an infield popup, literally thousands raced toward the KC dugout to get a closer look at what probably will be the A's biggest gate attraction of the year.
His teammates were overjoyed too, but probably nobody in the stadium was more elated than owner Charley Finley, the guy who shelled out the cash in the first place. Charley's protege not only came through, but he established baseball history in the process, for no rookie had ever started, let alone finished, a major league game without any basic training at all.
Think about this for a moment. Krausse had never pitched in the minors, he had never pitched in a major league exhibition game, and he had never even relieved in a major league game. In short, he went into the contest as green as one could possibly be.
But podnuh, as Dizzy Dean would say, look at them results.
The fact that the Angels were solidly entrenched in last place can't dim Lou's performance one iota, for the LA club has been a terror at the plate all year. Pitching and defensive problems have put the Californians in the cellar, not anemic hitting.
Krausse is slated to pitch against Boston Friday. And if he lures another big crowd through the turnstiles, Finley will have regained much of the money he so happily lost just a few days ago. It's a matter of simple mathematics: Draw an extra 20,000 fans, who pay roughly $2 per ticket, and what have you? $40,000.
Not a bad sum for one night.

Lawrence Brennan of Kansas City, a June graduate, has received the Law Week award, a prize worth approximately $100 given to the graduating student who made the most satisfactory scholastic progress in his final year.
Bowling Alona
PORT ARTHUR. Tex. — (UPI) — Polio hasn't kept 18-year-old Lexon Faulk and 15-year-old Forrest Hopkins from enjoying bowling.
Faulk, crippled since he was a year old, bowls a 122 average with a full brace on one leg, and has had a high game of 191. Hopkins, confined to a wheel chair since 1955, sends the ball down the lanes at a 100-pin average clip. He has a 180 high game. Both bowl in leagues.
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.—Franklin D. Roosevelt
Films Won't Oust 'Teach'
A University of Kansas study suggests that films, and possibly television and teaching machines too, will not replace the teacher.
The conclusion is stated in one of three articles reprinted from "Science Education," April 1961. The articles are evaluations of a 1959-60 study in five Wichita high schools, in which classroom use of films in the teaching of chemistry was compared with non-use of films. The authors of the first article, Dr. Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education; Fred S. Montgomery, director of the Bureau of Visual Instruction, and Sid F. Moore, principal of Wichita High School East, write that their findings "would seem to indicate that the students in the non-film classes achieved more in high school chemistry than did the students in the film classes."
Some students felt they would have done better in a conventional chemistry course, the article states. "Evidently, the students in the film group missed the usual laboratory instruction, since about 83 per cent would have liked more laboratory work," the authors write.
The students also felt they might have done better with a textbook written especially to accompany the films, rather than the same book used by the non-film groups.
'Bernie' Taylor Joins KU Staff
James M. Franceeour of Topeka has been awarded the Kansas Pharmacy Scholarship at KU for the 1961-62 academic year.
Franceeur, a senior in the School of Pharmacy, is married and the father of three children.
Bernard A. "Bernie" Taylor, former Kansas high school and college coach, has been appointed an assistant football coach to fill the position held the past three years at KU by Bobby Goad, who resigned recently to enter business in Oklahoma.
Francoeur Honored
The scholarship is provided through annual contributions by the pharmacists of Kansas.
GENEVA — (UPI) The U. N. Economic Commission reported that 60,000 persons are killed every year in Europe in automobile accidents and the number is rising.
Taylor has been head football coach at Riverside, Calif., High School the past year. He previously was backfield coach at Wichita University for three seasons under Chalmers Woodard.
Auto Toll Rises
A 1943 graduate of Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, where he also received the master of science degree in 1947. Taylor served three years in the Navy's amphibious forces. After the war he was football coach two years at Colby, his hometown. After a highly successful five year stint as head coach at Dodge City High School, he moved to Wichita East High in 1953. Four years later he moved over to Wichita University.
The new Jayhawk assistant is 39 years old and is married to the former Clara Joiner of Lakeland, Fla. They have two sons, Rodney, age 14, and Robert, 12. The family will move to Lawrence in early July.
The ECE said three to four times that number of persons were "seriously" injured in automobile accidents. The ECE said 25 per cent of the dead were pedestrians.
Yank Boss Houk Honored Tonight
Between 1200 and 1400 city and county baseball fans will travel to Kansas City in 17 chartered buses tonight as Lawrence celebrates "Ralph Houk Night."
Houk, a native of Lawrence and a former Lawrence High School football player, is manager of the New York Yankees. The Yankees opened a four-game series with the Athletics last night. Houk, the man picked to succeed Casey Stengel, will be honored in a ten minute pre-game ceremony.
Although he never was a regular with the Yankees, Houk has always been a keen baseball observer. He managed the Denver club in the American Association before going to New York as a coach.
The stadium organist has promised to play the "Sunflower Song" when Houk makes his first appearance, then "Broadway" on his return to the dugout to signify that it's a long way from Kansas to New York.
Graduate Trains For African Trip
Richard L. Admussen, who received the master of arts degree from KU this month, has begun training for a U.S. State Department mission to new countries in Africa.
The program is sponsored by the International Cooperation Administration and is being held in connection with a U.S. gift of mobile audiovisual units, presented to the republics of Mali, Chad, Gabon, Congo, Central Africa and Malagasy, all French-speaking.
The trainees, selected for their ability to speak French, are being taught utilization of audio-visual material, communication theory and teaching methods.
Admussen, of Topeka, was a French major in the Graduate School and at Washburn University (A.B., 1956). This week he began the 10-week program with eight other trainees, at Indiana University's Audio-Visual Center.
KU Men to Head Drama Magazine
Two speech and drama faculty members will take over publication of Players Magazine, a national educational journal for theater arts, beginning July 1.
Gordon Beck, instructor of speech and director of box office and publicity for the University Theatre, has been appointed editor and William H. Kuhike, instructor of speech and managing director of the Experimental Theatre, business manager of the publication.
The magazine is owned and supported by National Collegiate Players, an honorary dramatic fraternity. Beck and Kuhkhe have been given three-year contracts.
Scientists Find Evidence Of Earlier Man In Kansas
Sixty-six years ago in southeast Logan County there was fire a "scientific shot heard 'round the world." Today KU scientists believe the area worthy of future study. The "gun" might still be loaded.
In 1895 H. T. Martin, assistant to Prof. Samuel W. Williston, internationally famous vertebrate paleontologist, made excavations along Twelve Mile Creek, a tributary of the Smoky Hill River, southeast of Russell Springs. Among his discoveries was a chipped stone spear point associated with bones of the extinct Bison occidentalis.
The "shot heard 'round the world"—zoologically speaking—was that it had not been known previously that man inhabited North America as early as the extinct animals.
Then scientific explorations ended at the Logan County sites, probably for lack of funds.
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the KU Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Carlyle S. Smith, professor
and associate curator of anthropology, recently decided the area merited a second, if tardy, look.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Fredericksen Jr., both of Kansas City and both anthropology graduates of KU, spent about a month surveying the original Twelve Mile Creek excavation and southeast Logan County
About one-half mile south of the 1895 find they found a different kind of weapon point. This type has been found in Wyoming in association with the same kind of bison.
"The area deserves future intensive study." Dr. Hall commented. "There is evidence that man has occupied the area for at least 10,000 years, starting with the hunters of the extinct bison through many cultures to today."
I have never met anybody who wasn't against War. Even Hitler and Mussolini were, according to themselves.—David Low
