Peterson returns to football
BRUCE PETERSON
KU baseballers lose three to ISU
The KU baseball team suffered three straight losses at the hands of the Iowa State Cyclones last weekend at Quigley Field. Onagain, off-again pitching and light hitting plagued the Jayhawks as they have all season.
One bright spot of the series was a streak of hitting by KU catcher Cole Stimson, Stimson raised his batting average 45 points with five hits in the three games.
Iowa State won both ends of a Friday doubleheader, 5-4 and 3-1. The Cyclones went on to win Saturday's single game 6-4 in 10 innings.
KU now stands 2-7 for the season in Big Eight play, good for a seventh place tie with Colorado.

Although Bruce Peterson, Prairie Village senior named outstanding graduating senior in KU's School of Engineering at the Engineering Exposition, received offers to attend graduate school next fall at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University, he turned them down in favor of playing varsity football for KU.
"I'm deliberately not graduating this spring," Peterson said, "because I want to be eligible for KU's football team next fall."
Peterson said he hopes to play left defensive end on the varsity team. He was listed as a defensive tackle last fall until he broke his leg.
"I was pretty upset," he said, "about suffering a hairline fracture in my leg last fall. After missing seven weeks of football practice, I decided to be redshirted so I could play football this fall."
Newcomer to the gridiron, Peterson was All-State his senior year at Shawnee Mission East High School where he played offensive end and linebacker. He came to KU as a defensive end but was switched to tackle before breaking his leg. Peterson was a Big Eight All-Academic selection for his sophomore and junior years.
Last summer Peterson and Boby Douglass were roving ambassadors for KU's football team, talking to alumni groups and civic
clubs about Jayhawk football prospects.
A member of Beta Theta Pi social fraternity, Peterson received the McCollough award as the outstanding Beta athlete.
On a four-year football scholarship, he currently holds an N. T. Veatch Scholarship, which is given to a football player majoring in engineering.
"As a senior in high school I decided to major in chemical engineering just because it seemed interesting, and I've always liked math and science," he said.
During his four years at KU, Peterson has maintained an overall GPA of 2.47. After he graduates from KU in Feb., 1969, he said he'll be going to MIT to get his masters degree in business administration.
"Engineering and business will be a good combination for me because I hope eventually to go into management." Peterson said.
Meanwhile at KU, Peterson will be finishing out this year working a slide rule, going to spring football practices and rounding out his activities on the Hill such as being vice-president of the Student Union Activities (SUA), chairman of recreation for SUA and serving on the Kansas Union operating board.
"It's really hard to find the time to get everything done," Peterson said, grinning. "In fact I can't."
The sandy-haired athlete said that after early spring football practices it's pretty hard to predict how the football team will do next year.
