Four Frosh Backs Start Saturday
Coach Jack Mitchell listed Thursday his starting backfields for this week's intrasquad scrimmage at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Of the eight men, four are freshmen. Three of them were named to start for the first team.
Mitchell said Doyle Schick, Lawrence freshman, would be the first team fullback, Charles Lukinace, Muncie sohpomore, who has three years' eligibility remaining, and Roger Hill, Augusta freshman, will take the halfback positions on the first unit. Quarterback will be Larry McKown, Oil Hill junior.
In the second squad backfield will be Duane Morris, Salina junior, at quarterback; Homer Floyd, Massillon, Ohio junior, fullback; and Norman Mailen, Clay Center freshman, and Jerry Baker, Minneapolis junior, at halfback positions.
Starting linemen are not decided yet, Mitchell said
He said Thursday's practice on pass defense with a controlled scrimmage was "pretty good."
Volleyball Team To Finals
The KU Volleyball Club has reached a bright position in the National Volleyball Tournament at Scranton, Pa. after winning their last three matches.
The Jayhawkers opened the tournament by trouncing Pittsburgh University 15-5 and 15-8. In their second match, the Jayhawkers won over the defending champion Florida State by the score of 15-8, 15-10 and 15-9.
Kansas reached the finals of the tournament when they came from behind to defeat Washburn 9-15, 17-15, and 15-5. The Jayhawkers are the only undefeated team in the double elimination tournament.
The KU hopes were dimmed a little when spiker Dick Houghland was hit in the eye by a smash and had
to go to the hospital for treatment. It is not known yet whether he will be able to play in the finals.
George Washington had wooden teeth.
In today's action, Washburn was to meet Florida State to see who gets to meet the Jayhawkers again in the finals.
DES MOINES. Iowa — (UP) — The Missouri Valley Conference track crown will be up for grabs here Saturday with Houston and North Texas State the most likely successors to departed Oklahoma State, long the titleholder.
Who Will Fill OSU's Place?
On the basis of early season meets, eight conference records could fall as Wichita, Tulsa, Drake, Cincinnati and Bradley battle the favorites for the crown. St. Louis, the eighth conference member, does not have a track team.
Jayhawkers To MU Track Meet
One of the closer events of the meet will be the 109-yard dash. Missouri's Henry Wiebe has run this in 9.6. Charlie Tidwell, KU's dash man has dipped to 9.5 in the same event.
The Kansas Jayhawkers will meet Missouri University in a dual track meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at Columbia.
The meet should be interesting in that the Tigers have some top performers. "I feel that the team will do well in the meet," said Bill Easton, KU track coach, Thursday.
This will be the second meeting of the two teams this year. Kansas defeated Missouri in an indoor meet, 70-33. at Columbia Feb. 24.
The high jump will be another highly contested event. Bob Cannon of Kansas has been up around 6" 5", while Jim Green of MU won the event with a jump of 6" 6" in the indoor dual meet.

Watch the Kansan for Information
Houston was generally regarded as the heir to the conference title won 17 straight times by the Oklahoma Aggies, not then a member of the Big Eight.
Coach John Morriss' Cougars will be strong in the distances and middle distances with Jerry Smartt, Don Loadman, Mario Garcia and Reggie Darley. Loadman was second in the mile and Garcia second in the two-mile last year.
Two final events, the broad jump and javelin, will be completed Saturday morning at Drake Stadium and 14 events will be run off Saturday night.
The eight conference records that have been broken by the trackmen entered are the 100-yard dash, 220- yard low hurdles, mile, two-mile, 440-yard, mile relay, discus and javelin.
North Texas will base its championship bid on sprinters John Cotten, Jimmy Weaver and Fred Reuter and defending javelin champion Denny Andrews. Andrews set the
javelin record at 200-feet 11-inches last year.
Wichita has place winners back in the 880, two-mile, high hurdles and pole vault. Two of them, Lou Merriman in the 880 and Marvin Howard, who tied Bradley's Tom Bachtold in the pole vault, are defending champions.
Drake's Marlow Eckcho lead competitors for the discus title. He set a new record last year at 156-feet $11\frac{1}{2}$-inches.
Bradley and Drake probably will battle for the fourth spot behind Houston, North Texas State and Wichita. Bradley has several strong entries and the league's best freshman spinner from last year, Sam Pendola.
