Fullback Problem Appears Solved
The KU fullback situation is progressing fast enough to find Bill Gerhards, the position's lone returning letterman, fighting for his place.
With only a week of spring practice gone, the Leavenworth back is being pressured from three sides. Not necessarily in order, they are Ron Oelschlager, last year's starting slotback, who has been shifted to the fullback spot; holdout sophomore Dick Bacon, and Kent Craft, another coming second-year man, who was sidelined throughout 1963 by a knee operation.
"I think we're going to be all right at fullback," Coach Jack Mitchell was willing to say during the vacation recess, which has him and the staff working on the movie room and blackboard instead of the field.
This necessarily was the backfield position causing most concern at the outset of spring drills since those two power men, Ken Coleman and Armand Baughman, will be lifted by graduation in June. They amassed a two-man total of 720 net yards last year, all of it up the middle. They alternated on defense too.
Right now the scouting report on their replacements reads like this:
Oelschlager—Playing well both ways. Gives position more potential offensive quickness than Jayhawkers have shown here in recent years. Linebacking progress encouraging.
Gerhards--Slow rounding into form. Offense still long suit. Handicapped by short stature (5-8) as linebacker. Earned letter at No. 3 last year. Good running and blocking potential.
Golf and Tennis Squads Practice
Spring "vacation" for the KU golf and tennis teams meant traveling south and participating in a week-long series of matches in preparation for the upcoming Big Eight meets.
The golf team was also on a swing to the south. They played in two quadrangular matches at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
In the Oklahoma State meet, the host school, who is the defending NCAA champion, blasted the Jayhawks $12^{\frac{1}{2}}-2^{\frac{1}{2}}$, Wichita beat KU 12-3, and KU downed Nebraska 12-3.
At Norman, KU dropped all three matches, loosing to OU $ 12_{1/2}^{-} $ $ 2_{1/2}^{-} $ , Wichita 10-5, and Nebraska $ 8_{1/2}^{-} $ $ 6_{1/2}^{-} $

Bacon—Big (210), but getting outside well enough to block ahead of halfbacks. Surprising quickness and speed. Making rapid progress as linebacker.
Craft—Coming back from knee operation better than staff anticipated, especially following layoff last spring and autumn. Carries overall promise.
Arden Gray, (Phillipsburg sophomore)—Inexperienced but promising. Starter with freshmen last year. Needs to shed weight to increase speed and quickness.
Practice resumed Monday, following a 10-day layoff.
Floyd Temple, head baseball coach, has announced a meeting of this year's prospects for the Jayhawk freshman team.
Coach Temple said he will meet with the freshman candidates at 5 p.m. today in the K-Room in Allen Field House.
Frosh Baseball Meeting Called
Coach Temple announced that this year's freshman coach will be Dick Rader, former infield and outfield player here.
Coach Temple said the main purpose for freshman baseball is to assess the ability of the new men. He said, however, that two games might be scheduled for the freshmen.
