23 Lettermen Expected To Play
Twenty-three lettermen are expected to answer Jack Mitchell's spring practice call April 21 when he starts putting together his first Kansas football club.
The breakdown by positions lines up this way:
KU Gains Power As Outdoor Relays Near
Ends—H. C. Palmer, John Peppercorn, Rip Miller, Dale Remsberg.
Tackles—Ron Claiborne, Don Hermick, Ed Prelock.
Guards—Bill Blasi, Dewitt Lewis, Dick Rohlf, Tom Russell, Chet Vanatte.
Kansas will pick up three new sources of power for its gruelling 12-meet 1958 Outdoor track schedule which opens March 28-29 with the Texas relays at Austin.
Centers — Bill Burnison, Walt Schmidt, John Wertzberger.
Halfbacks— Ray Barnes, Larry Carrier, Dave Harris, Gerry Merritt.
Fullbacks—Homer Floyd, Don Feller.
Quarterbacks — Larry McKown,
Duane Morris.
Most important of these is Cliff Cushman, tremendously versatile sophomore, who missed the indoor campaign because of mononucleosis. He runs everything well from the 200 low hurdles through three miles of cross-country. He is especially effective in the 880-mile run, posting freshman times of 1:50.8 for 800 meters, 1:51.1 for 880 and 4:11.6 for the mile.
Quarterback Bob Marshall, co-captain with Floyd, is not expected to participate because of a knee operation in December.
This, of course, means he would be exceptionally valuable on any one of four relay teams which Coach Bill Easton is readying for the Jayhawkers' annual assault on the Texas-Kansas-Drake records.
"We think he is coming back as rapidly as they normally do from this ailment." Easton said. "We hope, with good weather, we'll come even faster. We don't know if he'll be ready to run at Texas or not."
Whether the Grand Forks, N. D product will be ready for Texas still is questionable. Even with his cross-country background of last autumn, however, Cushman can't help but be slow in attaining anything close to peak form.
Easton wasn't kidding when he mentioned weather. The Jayhawkers haven't enjoyed a decent day in which to move outdoors since they swept their seventh consecutive Big Eight indoor crown March 1. Snow, rain, and cold, and all three, have combined to ground almost all men.
Ep 3-2, Grace Pearson 1-4-1. The Fig Pluckers won first and Templin won the coin flip for second.
In addition to Cushman, Kansas is adding javelin-throwers Jim Londerholm and John Book to its potent indoor force. The former is coming back from an elbow operation which kept him sidelined last year. He thrice was in the 213-0 range as a sophomore. Book posted the ninth-best freshman mark of '57. 200-1/8.
Independent B, Division 2—Foster 5-0, Whipits 3-2, McCook 3-2, Carruth 2-3, Rochdale 1-4, Battenfield 1-4-1.
Games Today:
Fraternity A playoff—SAE vs. Sig Ep, 5 E; Beta vs. Phi Gam. 5 W.
Fraternity B—Sig Ep vs, PiKa 5; E; Delts vs. TKE, 5 W; DU vs. Phi Kappa Psi, 5:45 W; Phi Psi vs, Beta, 6:30 E; Delta Chi vs, ATO, 6:30 W; AKL vs. SAE, 4:15 E; Phi Gam vs. Phi Delt. 5:45 E
Fraternity C—Phi Gam II vs. SAE IV, 4:15 W.
Returning are three 1958 conference outdoor champions, Jerry McNeal in the 2-mile, Wilt Chamberlain, high jump, and Al Oerter.

Track Team Captain One Of Shortest Men
Short on size but long on spirit—this would probably be the best description for the captain of the outdoor track team this season—Berry Crawford. Crawford is one of the shortest men on the KU track squad, having to stretch to make 5-foot 6-inches.
Crawford began his track career as a freshman in high school. He described his first competition as a mile race in which there were three places and only two runners entered. He said this way he was sure of placing.
Crawford has also been a standout on the Kansas cross-country team. The past season he finished, almost consistently, behind two of KU's best cross-country men, Jerry McNeal and Tom Skutka.
Last year Crawford took fourth place in the steeple-chase at the KU Relays. About 20 started the race, Crawford said.
Crawford began his high school running in Boise, Idaho. He lettered all three years in track plus picking up letters in cross country and basketball. In his senior year, Crawford took third in the Idaho State meet.
To what does Crawford attribute KU's track power?
Kansas was an easy choice for Crawford upon high school graduation, he said. He added his parents were KU graduates and he had lived in Topeka about six years.
"I knew KU was a good school, the best there is. That's one reason why I came." Crawford said.
"We've got a fine coach in coach
In his first year at KU, Crawford won the freshman two mile postal race for the Big Seven. His best time to date in this event is 9:30.
who won the discus and shot. Broad-jumper Kent Floerke won that crown as a sophomore two years ago. In addition Bobby Tague won the indoor half; Tom Skutka the mile, and Ernie Shelby the broad jump while Chamberlain and Oerter were winning their specialties.
Lost were four outdoor champions, Lowell Janzen in the 880; Blaine Hollinger, broad jump, and Dave Tams, pole vault, all claimed by graduation, plus miler Hal Long, who is waiving this season in an effort to eliminate leg miseries which have kept him inactive since the 1957 NCAA.
Easton. He really works the boys and gets everything he can out of them. We have tremendous team spirit. We work out just as much, if not more, than any team in the country," Crawford said.
"We can win the conference and possibly place high in nationals if we will just all work together," Crawford concluded.
Sugar Ray Vs. Basilio Tonight
CHICAGO — (UP) — Sugar Ray Robinson will trv to recapture the middleweight crown from Carmen Basilio tonight in the most fabulous indoor fight ever staged—because of its riches, significance and potential thrills.
Veteran Robinson, an all-time ring "great" and unrivalled master of the comeback, will try to win the 160-pound title for the fifth time in this return 15-rounder at Chicago Stadium, attracting the second largest indoor gate of about $400,000 and the largest theater-TV take of more than $1,500,000.
Basilio, the tough and aggressive son of an onion farmer who took the title from Sugar Ray on a split decision last September, will try to be the first man to defeat the glamorous New York boxer-puncher twice.
Carmen of Chittemango, N. Y., is favored at 9-5 to win; and if he does, the defeat doubtless will send Sugar Ray into permanent retirement—after nearly 18 years of professional fighting—at the age of 36 or 37.
