Baseball team loses three after victorious Texas tour
By Ron Hanson
The Jayhawk baseball team jumped off to a quick start this season winning five of their first seven non-conference games before losing their first three conference games to Nebraska last weekend.
In San Antonio, Texas, March 30 through April 4, KU began the baseball season in a winning fashion taking its first three games in a row. The Jayhawks defeated Texas Lutheran, 6-4, Randolph Air Force Base, 13-8, and Sam Houston State, 11-6, before losing to St. Mary's University, 7-4.
IN THEIR NEXT three games, the Jayhawks again beat Sam Houston State, 7-1, and Texas Lutheran, 20-7, and lost to Trinity College. 6-3.
Although the baseball team's
trip to Texas was a success as far as victories are concerned, the southern series did have its setbacks as three of the Jayhawks' starting pitchers were injured.
Fred Chana, Brookfield, Ill. senior; Sandy Buda, Omaha, Neb., junior, and Bill Maddux, Wichita sophomore, were all hurt, but their injuries were not reported to be serious.
Chana's and Euda's injuries were enough to keep them out of the three game series with Nebraska last weekend. It is hoped that they will be recovered in time to see action against Kansas State this weekend in Lawrence.
AGAINST Nebraska, April 8-9. KU became tied for seventh in the Big Eight while the Cornhuskers ended up in a deadlock for first place with Oklahoma State.
In a doubleheader Friday, the Jayhawks lost twice, 18-7 and 7-4. The Jayhawks did not overcome their pitching deficiency with their hitting even though John Adams, slugging sophomore from Shawnee Mission, hit a home run in each game. Saturday, KU dropped the final game in the Nebraska series, 5-0.
Head coach Floyd Temple said the team's hitting was outstanding in the first six games, but the fielding needs improvement.
KU will take a 5-5 record to the field this Friday and Saturday against Kansas State for three games in Lawrence. The Wildcats hold a 1-2 league record and are currently tied with Missouri for fifth place in the Big Eight. Following the K-State series the Jayhawks will play Missouri at Lawrence April 22-23.
KU, now in the process of adding 6,000 seats to its 44,500-seat Memorial Stadium, nearly abolished competitive football on campus in 1910.
Football ban once sought
The University Daily Kansan, campus newspaper, even announced in the spring of that year that rugby would replace football in the fall.
THE RISING TOLL in football deaths over the country (although there had been only one death from football at KU—in 1896) and its evolution into a mass spectacle were attracting the attention of thoughtful educators.
Two members of the Board of Regents moved that the game be abolished because it was "dangerous, took too much of a student's time, developed brute instincts, and led to false ideals among students."

The Chancellor was requested to bring the matter to the attention of the heads and governing boards of the other institutions in the Missouri Valley Conference.
