The game will be the first for both teams this OSU's Bailey wins honor KANAS CITY, MO. (AP) - Nobly figured Harold Bailey would quarterback Oklahoma State this fall, least of all the coach staff. After all, the quick, lanky cowboy had failed twice in starting assignments under the previous coaching regime and was last standing around like a player without a position. "When I first got here I never considered the possibility Bailey would be our starter because of the bad reports I heard about him," said Boole Leahy, Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator. The quarterback was among the worst in a number of bad spots. But the quarterback provided the winning margin in Johnson's head coaching debut, but he couldn't do it for either team — a touchdown. He didn't throw an interception, and for his performance he was named by a panel of sportswriters the Big Eight offensive player "The first day I saw him throw the ball, I began to change my mind," said Leah, who coached both Cattavanna at Pittsburgh and Jack Thomson at Washington State. Also nominated for offensive honors was Missouri quarterback Phil Bradley, who hit 6 of 20 passes and rushed 12 times for 81 yards in the game and 69 kickoff victory over San Diego State.

Jeltz, who started at second base for the Jayhawks the past two years, said he might be ready for professional baseball after this season. "I don't think I'll be here next year," Jeltz said. "But I won't leave unless I think I'm ready. I know how ready I have to be, probably I have to on my own judgment." "If I don't think I'm ready, I won't go. I'm sure I will be, though." Jeltz got his first taste of the major league in 2013, when he exhibition game with the Kansas City Royals. He hit the first pitch of the game up the middle for a single and then stole it. "Marty Pattin throw me a fast ball down the middle and got blasted," Jeltz said. Kansas won the game, 6-5. "I went in the game wanting to win," he said. "I went in there thinking they've got to stop just like anybody else." Jeltz said KU's game before the exhibition game was to try to keep it close. If Jeltz turns pro, he will be leaving more than a college baseball team. Lawrence is his hometown, and he lives with his parents. Jeltz had a successful career with the Lawrence American Legion Hawks and starred in football, basketball and track at Lawrence High School. When he weighed the possibilities of a career in each of the sports, Jeltz said everybody told him to stick to baseball. He wore a jacket that was 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighted 170 pounds. As late as last basketball season, Jellio considered playing college basketball. However, he said, since this may be his first UU, he has decided to stay with baseball. "Football was my favorite sport in high school because I loved to hit," he said. "Now baseball's it. Loves it." Jelts's decision to play baseball at KU wasn't an easy one. However, he quickly found out he had made the right choice to play and stole 12 bases his freshman season. Jeltz received a lot of scholarship offers from big universities and almost went to Arizona State University to play basketball. He said he decided to stay in Lawrence because everyone already knew him and he would have to make a name for himself. "I'm definitely satisfied I stayed here," Jeltz said. Jeltz spent most of last summer playing Casey Stengel baseball in the semi-pro league in Kansas City, Kan. In the middle of a successful season in which he batted about 450 and had nine stolen bases after the first six games, Jets pitcher Bert Patterson of the Baseline Collegates of Boulder, Colo. The Collegians had won the national championship in the nomination National Baseball Congress Tournament in Wichita the previous year, and they wanted to join the team for a three-game series. Caught in the middle of the Casey Stengel playoffs in Kansas City, Jeltz joined the Collegiate in Wichita and played three times to play in both tournaments. Jelzit said he was the only player from Kansas on the College team. Most of the players were from California and Arizona. He hit over 300 with one home run and three stolen bases in the five games. The team also scored 32 in the NBC tournament this year. Joltz said he badn't played in two weeks when KU opened the fall season Sunday against longtime Community College. He said he still had to get his hitting down, although he doubleed home two runs in the second half of the second game with a trilef off the wall. Jeltz said he had learned a lot over the summer and had become much faster and stronger. "I hit about 50 balls every day and also ran and lifted weights." "I want to hit about .400 and I think will," he said. "I know I'm gonna steal 40 bases." After batting .291 with 28 stolen bases last season, Jeltz has set his goals much 'killer this year. Although Jeltz started at base second during his first two years at KU, this fall he was moved to shortstop who had played during his Lection career. "I played all these all my life before I came to KU, and I love it," Jeltz said. Despite a heavy loss of players this season, Jeltz thinks the Jayhawks will improve last year's record of 35-12-1. The Big Eight championship could be the end of Jellr's college career. As his coach, Floyd Temple, said, "it depends on what he does next spring." "We've got a lot of talent on this ballcub. We've got a real good chance of winning the Bie Eight this year." Royals split with Twins, 6-5, 2-5 KANSAS CITY, Mo.
