University Daily Kansan SPORTS Mitchell Pleased With KU Team
The Jayhawker football squad, halfway through a rough schedule of spring scrimmages, is "mighty bruised, but it just won't lay down."
This description of the team was given Monday by Jack Mitchell, who said that he is "pretty pleased" with its spirit and toughness.
"Practice went a little poor today," he said of Monday's workout. "It was a typical Monday—a little draggy. Of course, the mud got on our cleats and slowed us down.
"But, that team still worked hard," he said proudly.
Typical Monday—Slow
When asked if the team had progressed as far as he had expected it to by the midway mark of the 20-scrimmage spring practices, Mitchell was affirmative.
"We have come much further than I had anticipated," he said. "But you never feel like you're up where you should be. Sometimes I feel like we're up one day and down the next."
Surprisingly Few Injuries
He said he was amazed at the lack of injuries considering that the team had had eight straight scrimmages.
"Good football players just don't get hurt," he commented. "They've been hit hard and they can take it."
The Wednesday session will be devoted to offensive practice and pass defense.
Three greats led Kansas University to a track victory over rival Kansas State, 88 1/6 to 47 5/6 Monday.
Al Oerter, giant Jayhawker senior, won the shot and discus; Charlie Tidwell, sophomore, won the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, and Ernie Shelby, a junior, took

the broad jump and low hurdles titles.
Otert set one new standard with a disc heave of 182 feet, $7_{1/2}$ inches. Shelly notched one with a 23.1 second clocking in the low hurdles, and Tidwil tied the 100-yard dash mark of 9.6 for the dual event.
Other records fell to K-State's Jim Vader in the 440-yard dash (48.7); Gene O'Connor, Wildcat senior, in the high hurdles Lowell Renz, K-State sophomore, in the javelin $(204\cdot6_{1/2})$, and to the K-State relay team (3:15.3).

West Coast Troubles Pile Up As Dodgers, Giants Lose At Home
By UNITED PRESS
Three different doctors told Granny Hamner he'd never play ball again but the disgusted, down-trodden Dodgers felt today that the medics' diagnosis went haywire somewhere.
Hamner says he's still with the 'Phillies only due to "an act of God." It looked more like the hapless Dodger pitchers could have used an act of Congress to get him out last night.
The 31-year-old Phillies' infielder, who was on the verge of quitting baseball a year ago because of a serious shoulder injury, drove in five runs in an 8-3 victory over Los Angeles.
He teed off on Don Drysdale for a triple with the bases full in a five-run first inning, then slammed the 100th home run of his career off reliever Jackie Collum with one on in the fifth. Stan Lopata followed with a homer of his own over the fence—the left field one naturally.
Phils turned in a neat 5-hitter in achieving his third win. The Dodgers scored all their runs off him in the fourth with Carl Furillo's two-run homer highlighting the rally.
San Francisco's ninth inning fireworks included a three-run homer by Ray Jablonski, one with the bases empty by Orlando Cepeda and three pich doubles by Jim King, Johnny Antonelli and Bob Speake.
The Giants threw a scare into Pittsburgh by coming up with nine runs in the ninth inning but the Pirates staggered through for an 11-10 victory that moved them into a first-place tie with the Chicago Cubs.

frank Thomas hit his eighth homer for the Pirates and teammate R. C. Stevens also connected. Ruben Gomez was the loser.
Smith, a rookie southpaw, needed help from big Frank Sullivan in the eighth when Cleveland scored its final two runs but until that frame, Dick Brown's three-run homer in the fourth represented all of the Tribe's scoring.
Ray Narleski started for Cleveland and was routed in a four-run sixth inning uprising. Don Buddin homered for Boston while Pete Runnels and Ted Williams each drove in two runs.
Rain washed out the Kansas City- Washington and Detroit-Baltimore games in the American League as well as the Milwaukee-St. Louis contest in the National.
Foos Eager For Varsity Work
Gerald Foos is really looking forward to next year's track season because he will be able to compete with the varsity team. He puts the shot and throws the discus with the freshman team.
Foos got his start in track in the fifth grade at Scotts Bluff, Neb. He started with the shot and began throwing the discus in the seventh grade.
Last year he ran on the 880 yard relay team which placed first in the state meet.
Foos had planned to attend Colorado University, where he was offered a scholarship, but after receiving a letter from Bill Easton, KU track coach, he decided to come here, "I think Coach Easton is one of

the greatest, if not the greatest coach in the world," he said. "As a man, he is wonderful, also. He makes a person feel at home when at first he doesn't know anyone. He is just like a father."
Foos has been working with the track team regularly. He has the best freshman mark in throwing the shot this year with 50 feet 1 inch. He has thrown the discus 153 feet this year.
He said that watching Al Oerter, KU's shot and discus star, is a great
