The Kansas squad won its opening round match by defeating the Duluth YMCA, 15-9, 15-6.

The loss dropped KU into the loser's bracket of the tourney where it moved past the Detroit YMCA. 15-9, 16-14. Ku faces the Sixth Army All Stars in the next round of the tournament today.
The KU team also opens play in the National Collegiate meet today, facing the University of Manitoba with a tough Michigan State squad next in line, if KU wins.
COACH KEVIN JONES said he was very pleased with the performance of his team in the Open tourney. He said it was the best any Kansas team had ever done in the meet.
Coach Jones listed UCLA and California as the favorites in the collegiate division, but felt that the addition of Yul Yost to the line-up
Alumni Roster Takes Shape
Twenty-three grads have signed for duty in the 10th Annual Varsity-Alumni game in Memorial Stadium, May 20.
This roster includes three former All Big Eight performers, tackle-end John Peppercorn, halfback Homer Floyd and tackle Frank Gibson.
PEPPERCORN EARNED acclaim at both positions, tackle in 1958, on Coach Jack Mitchell's first Jayhawk edition, and at end in 1959. Floyd was all-league the former year, finishing his career as KU's second highest all-time ground gainer with 1534 net yards rushing. He also won the league pass receiving title as a senior on 307 vards in 15 catches.
Gibson, a fast and destructive blocker downfield, earned his spurs in 1956. He is now the head football coach at Hays High School.
Others on the list include Bill Burnison, center; Sam Simpson, end; Ken Fitch, tackle; Larry Carrier, halfback; John Suder, kicking special; Wally Straw, quarterback; H. C. Palmer, end and tackle; Terry McIntosh, quarterback and halfback; Bill Crank, quarterback; Joe Sprekelmeyer, end; Charlie McCue, halfback and Fred Bukaty, fullback.
EIGHT MORE SIGNEES for the game which will close spring practice are: Bob Kraus, tri-captain of the 1957 Big Seven runners-up; Bill Bell, bell; Bud Roberts, center; Buddy Merritt, halfback; Larry McKown, quarterback; George Remsberg, guard; Don Pfutzenreuter and John McFarland, quarterback. The varsity holds a 5-4 edge in the series.
--would aid the KU chances considerably.
Yost, who had to miss yesterday's games will join the team today after staying on campus for classes.
YOST, WHO BROKE the school freshman shot put record this week, should be a great addition to the Kansas squad. The powerful Yugoslavian is one of the top volleyball players in the world, having been selected as an All World player in international competition.
Hole-In-One for Colonial Leader
FORT WORTH, Tex. — (UPI)—British Open champion Ken Nagle, spurred on by a hole-in-one and some fine recovery play on an opening round five-under-par 33-32-65, set out to protect his lead in the $40,000 Colonial National Invitation Golf Tournament today.
Bob Blanl
If he can nurse any part of his three-stroke lead through to the end of the 72-hole affair Sunday, he will become only the fifth man in 16 years to project the first round leadership into the rich Colonial title.
Nagle was the cock-of-the-walk with his record-tying tournament low round and his ace on the 195-yard 13th hole, but it was the first time since the Australian came to this country for the Masters that he has been able to get his game in the groove.

Bad chipping and putting have cost him dearly in the five tournaments preceding this one with a tie for 16th in the Greensboro Open.
Orioles' Hitting Beats Minnesota
Good is about the only way for summing up all those pre-season calculations on the hard-to-figure third place Baltimore Orioles.
By United Press International
Everyone agrees—even astute Paul Richards—that Baltimore's pitching staff shaped up second to none. So far, however, it has shaped up more like a sad sack of potatoes.
THERE WAS ALSO a rather general agreement that obvious lack of hitting would keep the Orioles back. So far, that hitting has been the only thing that has kept Baltimore up.
Only five times in 25 games this season has an Oriole pitcher gone the full distance. Southpaw Steve Barber, who has done it twice, couldn't do it yesterday even though he was credited with his fourth victory in an 8-7 decision over the Minnesota Twins.
The Orioles' hitting has been a bird of another feather, however.
THREE BALTIMORE REGULARS—center fielder Jackie Brandt, first baseman Jim Gentile and third baseman Brooks Robinson—are among the American League's top 10 hitters. Brandt is batting .371, Gentile .347 and Robinson .333. All three connected safely in yesterday's triumph over the Twins.
The Washington Senators beat the league-leading Detroit Tigers, 9-4, in the only other Major League action.
Gentile, who hit a pair of grand slam homers against the Twins last Tuesday, continued to pick on them yesterday with a three-run double during a five-run fifth inning rally that put Baltimore in front for keeps.

Diamond Squad Goes to K-State
Hampered by continued rainouts and* a season-long bat slump, Kansas can still finish near the middle of the Big Eight baseball race by gaining an edge in its last two series against Kansas State and Oklahoma.
BOTH SETS. HOWEVER, are on the road against clubs ahead of the Jayhawkers in the current standings.
Coach Floyd Temple will send his club against Kansas State in the first of the series today and tomorrow at Manhattan. By winning two, of three, Kansas can vault to the top of the second division, providing Iowa State and Nebraska do not gain ground against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma respectively.
Top hitter among the Kansas regulars is Keith Abercrombie, Kansas City sophomore, who is swatting .325. 114 points above the squad average. The catcher turned second baseman is the only Jayhawker regular above .300 as KU puts a 2-6 league record on the line against K-State.
Coach Temple will have Jim Evil-
sizer, his regular shortstop back in the line-up after flu felled the latter during last week's Nebraska series, which was reduced to one game by rain.
HOWEVER, THE skipper planned to find a place for senior squadman John Manning somewhere in the line-up. Seeing only fill-in duty at third, short and the outfield, Manning is batting 263 and numbers three doubles among his five hits. He'll replace either Doyle Schick (143) at third base or Norm Mailen (212) in left field.
As usual Temple will lead off against the Wildcats with his best pitcher, Tom Holler, in the first game of today's twin bill. Holler won his fourth in seven decisions, 4-3, against Nebraska, driving home the winning run in the first extra inning with his first hit of the season.
Hollar has now struck out 43 opposing batters in 50 innings and has an ERA of 1.98.
