Varsity-Alumni Renew Grid Rivalry Tomorrow
Defense Gets Initial Test
Team defense, a structure which Jack Mitchell and his Kansas coaching staff have toiled overtime to build this spring, will be tested for the first time in 1963 here tomorrow in the annual Varsity-Alumni test. Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
It will be the 12th postwar renewal of the series with the Varsity leading 6-5.
ALUMNI COACHES Don Fambrough and Morris Kay will shoot a three-end pro offense at Mitchell's madeover club, which returns only two starting linemen from the 6-3-1 outfit of a year ago. This will mount Dick Green, a 6-5 former wingman at slotback. John Hadl, two-time all-American in '60 and '61, now with San Diego in the AFL, will be the quarterback.
The Varsity survived this type of attack last year to score a 17-6 upset, rushing Hadl so fiercely he could complete but 14 of 36 throws for 109 yards. This, of course, is another year and another Varsity club.
Under the staff's microscope most intently will be the new linebacking guards, last year's season-ending regular fullback, Armand Baughman, is one of them, and the new quarterback, Steve Renko.
MITCHELL and his aides have shuffled linebacking personnel continually all spring, giving backs and linemen thorough tests. Renko, a 6-4 210-pounder, is an athlete of high promise, but owns only one game of freshman experience at this post after coming in as a fullback.
His figures in the last two intrasquad games are impressive, 27 completions in 47 casts for 358 yards. But he won't be playing against his own squadrates tomorrow.
With the bulk of spring practice emphasis on defense, Mitchell began fretting over his club's attack at mid-week.

SPORTS KU's Chances Slim At League Meet
The Kansas Jayhawker track team's chances of finishing above fourth place appeared slim today as the Big Eight conference meet gets underway at Manhattan.
The Jayhawkers, which in past years were shew-in champions of the conference, are predicted to pick only one first place finish. Yul Yost, Kansas Relays winner and runner-up at the Texas Relays, is expected to win the shot put.
A TALENTED Colorado sophomore, Jim Miller, appears to hold the key to the outcome of the meet
Colorado is favored for the team title much on Miller's potential. The speedster is regarded a likely winner in the high and intermediate hurdles. He is also scheduled to run the anchor leg of the 440 and mile relay teams, which were picked for the victory circle.
In addition to the points expected of Miller, Colorado needs solid performances from Leander Durley in the high jump, broad jump and triple jump; Dick Burns in the sprints, Bob Griffith in the distance runs; Tom Galbos in the weight events, and pole vaulter Roger Olander.
PRELIMINARIES are scheduled for this afternoon in all 17 events except the mile relay, pole vault,
2-mile run, mile run and shot put. Despite Colorado's strength, Missouri and Oklahoma State are expected to present stiff competition in several events.
A big factor for Oklahoma State is Charles Strong, who could score firsts in the 220, 440 and broad jump. He also is figured for a strong try that could put the Oklahoma State mile relay up high.
Missouri has good depth, but expects titles only from Greg Pelster in the 880 and Roy Bryant in the 2-mile. Pelster will be out to better the conference of 1:49.0 set by Joe Mullins of Nebraska in 1959. He has a 1:50.4 time this season.
An early morning forecast of thundershowers threatened the KU-Missouri baseball series which starts today in Columbia, Mo.
Rains Threaten KU-MU Series
If the three games would be rained out, the Tigers would automatically win the Big Eight title.
Missouri is 15-2 for the season, while Oklahoma, its only rival, is 12-3. Providing the Sooners sweep their series at Iowa State, the Tigers would still win the crown by a half-game. A rain-out would be advantageous for the Jayhawkers since they would finish in third place.
There is no provision for rescheduling rained-out games in Big Eight play.
Carl Nelson and Jerry Waldschmidt are scheduled to start for the Jayhawkers today. Roger Brock will pitch tomorrow.
Roberts, Oelschlager Are Ambassadors
Two Kansas football veterans, end Jay Roberts and halfback Ron Oelschlager, will fill ambassador posts for the Jayhawker's fourth annual summer good-will tour which will cover 110 state towns.
They'll kickoff June 4 in the Kansas City area, speaking before civic clubs and quarterback groups promoting the University and athletic department.
Roberts, 6-4 by 215, is one of two returning regular linemen for 1963. He also is the 33rd three-sport letterman in Jayhawker history, having earned monograms in football, basketball and track as a sophomore.
Oelschlager, Marion junior, was a defensive starter most of the way through his sophomore season.

First division finishes loom in the offing as the KU golf and tennis teams begin the Big Eight championships today at Manhattan.
