Runner Hits 125 m.p.d.
A Norwegian runner, Mensen Ernst, was probably the greatest runner that ever lived. Among his performances were: 1—A dash from Paris to Moscow in two weeks, averaging 125 miles a day. 2—Constantinople to Calcutta, and return in 59 days, averaging 95 miles a day. In all of his races he swam rivers, ran over bad roads and endured unbelievable hardships.
International Meet Held
The first international track and field meet was held in 1895 at New York between athletes of the New York Athletic Club and the London Athletic Club.
KU Baseball Team Prepares For Next Week's Opener
By Mike Miller
The 1962 edition of the Kansas Jayhawkers baseball team went through their first outdoor practice last week.
TEMPILE PREDICTED a fourth or fifth place finish for his team in the Big Eight this season providing the pitching holds up and the many sophomores on the squad are able to adjust to Big Eight playing conditions.
Bundled up in sweat clothes and warm-up jackets, the Jayhawks went through hitting and fielding drills under the supervision of head coach Floyd Temple. The Jayhawkers had been working out in Allen Field House since late January.
He praised the mental attitude of his squad. "They are a pretty young squad," Temple said, "and their morale is definitely improved over that of last year's team."
He said that the team has improved its defense 50 per cent over last year, but hitting is the big question mark.
"WE HAVE TO have runs to win games, we can't beat them on defense alone," he said.
The addition of Hubert Bumgardner, an All America from Wright Junior College in Chicago, at second base should be a big asset to the team.
"We are positive he is a Big Eight caliber fielder, and he should be able to hit Big Eight pitching." Temple said. "He should add the hustle to the team which was so sadly lacking last year."
DICK FANNING should hold down the first base spot with junior Jim Evilisers and sophomores Dick Rader and Don Miller battling for the shortstop and third base positions.
Keith Abercrombie, last year's leading hitter with a .345 mark, will be the first string catcher this year. The bespectacled junior will have ample backing in sophomores Pete Quatrochi and Dave Culp. Quatrochi is a linebacker on the football team.
The pitching staff will be composed mainly of veterans. Temple said that his number one hurler
will be senior right-hander Jerry Waldschmidt. Temple described him as "a fine competitor with a good fast ball."
LANKY CARL NELSON should be another of the Jayhawker starters. Temple said that Nelson, also a fastballing righthander, "has been hampered by control problems, and must improve this to be effective."
Four lefthanders will be battling for the other starting position in Temple's three man rotation. They are junior Sam Tryon and Roger Brock, and sophomores Monte Stewart and Steve Lumsford.
WITH THE TEAM playing four games in five days, March 30-April 3 on a southwestern tour Temple said that all of his pitchers should get plenty of work.
"The relief pitching will probably have to be all left handed," Temple added.
"With good weather and outside workouts for the next two weeks, our starters will be given a chance to go seven and possibly nine innings during the trip." If bad weather forces the Hawks inside again, however, Temple will let each pitcher throw only three innings at a time.
The outfield will be centered around veterans Ken Hensley and Jim Marshall. Temple said that neither of these have hit over .260 in previous years and both will have to improve to keep their positions.
Footballers Tony Leiker and Ken Coleman will be given a chance to break in the outfield as will sophomore prospect David Robinson.
Temple said that there are other players on the squad who may be surprises and break into the lineup.
TEMPLE SAID that he has some excellent prospects from last year's freshman team with four of them having good chances to start.
The team starts its season next Friday against Texas Lutheran at Seguin.
