Temple's crew set for year-end rally Spring has struck the University, and with only one and a half weeks of classes left many have started coasting up to the finish line, but in the next two weeks the KU baseball team will be far from coasting as they start pedaling in the race for their first division finish since 1964. This weekend the Jayhawks will host league-leading Oklahoma State in their next-to-last series of the season with a doubleheader Friday and a single game Saturday. Kansas now stands 5-8 in the Big Eight and 10-10 overall. If they should win at least half of their remaining six games, KU will stand a strong chance of a first division finish. "The chances are pretty slim," says coach Floyd Temple o the team's race for the first division, "but we've beaten each of the contenders once and we could have a first division team." Holding a one game lead over second place Oklahoma, the Cowboys-12-3 in league play—loom as a major obstacle in KU's rallying finish. Fresh from a 6-2 victory over Nebraska in Stillwater last weekend, OSU in their bid to repeat as conference champs will be primed for drowning all hopes of the Javhawk's late season charge. Roger Jackson (1-1), who fired a four hitter in 6 2/3 inning of relief against Missouri last weekend will start the first game of the doubleheader. Hurling the second game will be Dave Robisch who is 3-2 on the year. | Player and Position | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | AVE. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Paul Womble, 3b | 20 | 69 | 11 | 22 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 16 | .319 | | John Regigls, 1b | 16 | 46 | 7 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | .281 | | Jeff Baird, 1f | 20 | 78 | 12 | 22 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 9 | .282 | | Keith Lleppman, ss | 20 | 71 | 13 | 19 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 9 | .268 | | George Temple, cf | 20 | 72 | 4 | 19 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 6 | .266 | | Lynn Snelgrove, 2b | 20 | 71 | 9 | 18 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 10 | .254 | | Dick Jackson, r | 20 | 80 | 7 | 20 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | .250 | | Clark Ulilson, p | 6 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | .250 | | Randy Stroup, p | 10 | 12 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | .250 | | Dave Robisch, p | 20 | 9 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | .250 | | Dave Robisch, c | 10 | 6 | 4 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 7 | .194 | | Richard Slucker, p | 11 | 24 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | .166 | | Roger Jackson, p | 6 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | Bob Wolf, inf, p | 4 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | Don Higgins, c | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | Mark Strimple, inf, p | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | Bob Kaufman, p | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | Bob Kaufman, c | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .000 | | KU TOTALS | 20 | 638 | 81 | 160 | 19 | 3 | 6 | 68 | .251 | | OPPONENTS | 20 | 581 | 81 | 139 | 19 | 7 | 10 | 68 | .239 | Player GP GS CG Inn.

Arnie ends one shot away from free pass to Open It might have been a missed putt, a bad drive or a missed green but if he had played it perfectly it probably would have been worth an extra $292 in prize money and a pass into the U.S. Open championship at Houston June 12-15. Arnie, the millionaire, wound up just $292 short of the prize earnings he needed during a 12 month period ending May 1 to earn a pass to Houston. Now he'll have to play a 36-hole qualifying test for the first time since 1959 and finish among the leaders to make it to the open. COMING SOON ON RADIO 63, THE TOP 63 RECORDS OF 1968-69! "Some people believe Palmer should have an exemption on his record," says Joe Dey, new czar of pro golf. "But one of the first things I learned since coming into closer contact with the professionals is their great respect for the rules. "They might not like certain rules but they respect them as long as they're on the books." According to the rules, Palmer has exhausted his qualifying exemptions for the open and now must play his way in like most of the others in the record entry list of 3,400. Only 33 players, led by defending champion Lee Trevino, are totally exempt from the qualifying tests. Current ability kev "Sentiment is on the side of Palmer and other former champions," said Dey. "However, the open should be a test of current ability. When I was with the U.S. Golf Association we found in recent years that 150 is the absolute maximum number of players who can get around a golf course in one day. Restrictions on exemptions had to be made." "Only once, as I recall, was a special exemption made," Dey recalled. "Three years ago, Ben Hogan was invited for the open at San Francisco's Olympic Club. That's where, in 1955, he had the tournament all but won before being tied by Jack Fleck and then lost the playoff the next day." The pace of play has slowed tremendously. Dev admitted. As late as 1958, the starting field was 162. But 12 were lopped off a year later and 150 "In one of the amateur championships of the Bobby Jones era a field of 168 played a qualifying round in late September and finished well before dark," he said. "We couldn't do that now in the middle of the summer." In an effort to conserve daylight hours on the regular pro tour--but not in the U.S. Open—the PGA several years ago advised a "split field" plan under which half the players start on the first tee and the other half began at the 10th for the first two rounds. They cross over in the middle and play the remaining nine in regular sequence. "That means both nines are in use most of the day," said Dey. "It gives some leeway in the event of weather delays. Also now for the first two rounds on the tour we're sending them out in pairs instead of threesomes. "Pairs require a longer elapsed time to get them all around but it cuts 48 minutes off the time each player must be out on the course."
