KU Baseball Team Hampered By Bad Weather
Kansas' baseball team left March 29 for a 4-game swing into Texas to open its 1958 season. The Jayhawkers played Rice at Houston April 4-5 and Houston University April 7-8.
This season's practice sessions have been marred by adverse weather conditions. Rain kept the team off the practice field and the players have had only a minimum of outside work. Also, the new baseball field will not be used because of the time lost working on it because of the weather.
Regulars returning to bolster Floyd Temple's squad are All Big Eight pitcher Larry Miller; Bob Marshall, center field; Jim Trombold, first base; Barry Robertson, shortstop; and Barry Donaldson, former catcher who will play third base.
The rest of the line-up is Carl Lauterjung at catcher, Harl Hansen or Art Miller in right field and Art Muegler at second base. John Hanson is another pitcher who saw action on the Texas trip. Trombold was all conference last
year and also made the fifth district all star team.
Temple expects Oklahoma State and Oklahoma to be the rough teams in the Big Eight conference this season.
"Iowa State should be pretty tough and we'll be up there somewhere, we hope," Temple said.
Floyd Temple's unready band met Rice at Houston and Houston U. Temple was fairly certain of his pitching rotation, only because of his available veterans, but had no idea of how to arrange his
batting order.
The rain and snow have broken long enough to allow three sessions of infield drill, but the continued chill kept the pitcher's arms sheathed and most batting has been done before the pitching machine. Temple threw his all-Big Eight pitcher, Larry Miller, at the Owls. John Hanson, Tonganoxie sophomore righty, drew the opening assignment against Houston with Wiley due to return in the second game.

Temple will try his varsity catcher of two years standing. Barry Donaldson, at third with sophomore Carl Lauterjung behind the plate.
