University Daily Kansan SPORTS 40 Alums Return For Saturday Game
Approximately 40 former Kansas University football players have indicated they will return to play in the annual alumni varsity football game Saturday night at Haskell Stadium.
Ray Evans, an All America back in 1947, will coach the alums. He will be trying to lead the alums to their second straight victory. They won last year 20-6.
Evans will have several professional players to lead his team onto the field. They include such men as Mike McCormack, a tackle for the Cleveland Browns, Oliver Spencer, tackle for the Detroit Lions, Bob Hantla, who can play anywhere on the line, Harold Patterson and Galen Fiss.
Ted Rhode will be in the backfield along with Ralph Moody, John Anderson, Dick Gilman, Harry Solter and Terry McIntosh.
Other star linemen returning include Bruce Brenner, LaVerne Fiss, Lynwood Smith, Morris Kay and Jerry Taylor, all ends. The tackles will be Gene Blasi, Bill Marshall, John Rothrock, Wally Rouse, John Drake and Wint Winters.
The guards will include Joe Fink, John Idoux, Jack Luschen, Robert Preston and Clyde Walthall. Returning at center will be Bud Roberts.
Several mainstays of last year's squad have also signed up to play for the alums. They include Bobby Robinson, Charlie McCue, Jerry Baker, Larry Carrier and Walter Strauch, all backs.
Last year's linemen include Lynn McCarthy and Jim Letcavits, ends; Frank Gibson and Tom Horner, tackles; and Bob Kraus and Paul Swoboda, guards.
If the alumni team wins this year, it will give them their fifth victory against three defeats in the series. Last year it took a rally in the second half to pull the game out for the old-timers
Giles Reviews 'Duster' Rule
CINCINNATI. Ohio — (UP) — National League restrictions against the use of the so-called "dusters" may be strengthened, according to league president Warren Giles.
Giles revealed that the current rule is under study when he announced receipt of a telegram from manager Fred Haney of the Milwaukee Braves Haney's telegram denied that he had questioned Giles' personal bravery or integrity but added, "The umpires are not enforcing the rule as it should be and the League president should do something about it."
KANSAS CITY. Mo. —(UP) The close American League race from second place through eighth—today found the Kansas City A's gleefully taking on the Washington Senators as the Athletics hoped for a tighter first-division grip.

Although the tail of the car was badly damaged, the working parts apparently were all right, mechanics said. At the time of the accident, Ward was hitting about 138 miles per hour.
INDIANAPOLIS — (UP) — Mechanics began work today on the smashed auto of Roger Ward of Los Angeles and said they would have it repaired in time for the Memorial Day 500-mile race at Indianapolis Speedway.
Auto Crashes In '500' Test
Ward, who qualified for his eighth straight "500" Saturday, said the throttle stuck as he entered the southeast turn of the $2^{1/2}$-mile oval.
The 37-year-old driver was shaken but unhurt yesterday when his auto smashed into the wall during a fuel test run.
Ward was involved in the 1955 accident in which Bill Vukovich was killed in trying for his third straight "500" victory. Ward suffered only a nose cut, although his auto flipped over several times.
"Haney told me this in two different conversation," said Giles. "He and other managers may be assured that the rule will be strictly enforced. The rule itself may need some change and we are studying that possibility now."
Under present rules, the umpires can cject a pitcher from a game if he thinks the pitcher is deliberately throwing "dusters."
