Baseball team goes to Texas
Four sophomores will be in the starting lineup today when KU's baseball team opens an 11-game road trip against Texas Lutheran at San Antonio.
Rookies scheduled to start today are Junior Riggins, left field; Tom Shawver, center field; Randy Cordill, third base, and Cole Stinson, catcher.
VETERAN STARTERS will be Sandy Buda, first base; Bob Evilsiers, second base; Alan Stoike, shortstop; Bobby Skahan, right field, and Bill Maddux on the mound.
The Jayhawks will play the first seven games in San Antonio. Besides Texas Lutheran, KU will take on Indiana, March 31; Indiana, April 1 (2); St. Mary's (day); St. Edwards (night) April 3; and Trinity, April 4.
On April 5 KU will travel to Waco, Texas, to take on Baylor and then move to Norman, Okla., April 7-8 to challenge the Sooners in a three game series.
FOLLOWING Maddux in the starting rotation will be Roger Jackson, Riggins and Richard Slicker. In the bull pen will be Jaye Ediger, David Wood, Randy Stroup and Tom Bishard. Riggins and Slicker are the only southpaws on the staff.
"I will pick my top three pitchers for the conference season depending on who looks best down there on the trip." Floyd Temple, head baseball coach, said.
"WE JUST haven't hit all spring and this has been the worst early practice I've had as far as results go," Temple said. "Our pitching has looked pretty good, but the way our hitting has been, any pitching would look good."
Last year the Jayhawks won five of seven games on an early trip to Texas.
KU varsity golf will tee off with Cowboys
The Kansas varsity golf squad will tee off for the first time in person play April 4 against Oklahoma State at Stillwater.
The squad returns only three lettermen this season, Jack Clevenger, Topeka junior; Kent Powell, Wichita junior, and Bill Southern, Ellinwood senior.
The squad will be without the services of three of last year's lettermen. Will Price of Wichita has decided not to enter competition, H. A. "Tuffy" Mayor of Wichita graduated and Bowen White of Shawnee Mission will wait out a year until he graduates
KU FINISHED SIXTII in the Big Eight Conference last year and seventh in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate. The Hawks' season dual record was 9 wins, 7 losses and one tie.
The freshman squad established itself as an expected contributor to this season's play by compiling an undefeated record last year. The frosh were paced by Bill Hess of Kansas City, Mo., and Charles Peffer of Wichita.
The team is coached by John Hanna, who is entering his second coaching season. He is a 1965 graduate in education and history.
HANNA PLAYED ON THE GOLF squad from 1962 to 1964. He finished third in the Big Eight Championship in 1962 as a sophomore and won sixth place in his junior season.
He holds the course record at Lawrence Country Club with a six under par 66 that he established two years ago. He has won the Lawrence city championship twice.
KU Athletes
Tuesday is steak night
Approximately 80 per cent of the KU athletes live in Joseph R. Pearson Hall. The rest of the athletes live in Templin Hall or some of the fraternity houses. These figures were given by Mr. Lawrence Hartzell, residence director of Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
With so many of the athletes living in one dorm, it seems that there might arise a problem between the athletes and the other students living in the hall. "Not so," said Hartzell, "there is no conflict between the boys."
WHAT KIND of treatment do the athletes receive? The athletes are served at a training table. The meals served to the players are of a larger portion and have a higher calory count. They are served this food because they burn up more energy in practice. Each Tuesday is steak night. Big steaks are served at the training table for the players. A new lounge area in the cafeteria was put in this year by the athletic department for the players to relax in. Other residents in the hall may use it also.
The KU Athletic Department provides the extra funds needed to cover the expense of the additional food.
However, the system at KU is that while many of the athletes room together, they have the option of choosing their own roommate. The Athletic Department asks the residence director to reserve a certain number of rooms for the athletes. But the department does not specify the rooms nor the floor.
ALTHOUGH THE players are not assigned closing hours, they must attend a supervised study hall. Assistant coach Don Fambrough is in charge of the study hall. The study hall is usually supervised by one of the trainers, who calls roll to establish attendance records.
