Wilhelm unable to attend
Steve Wilhelm, KU shotputter and discus thrower, twisted his ankle during practice this week and will not be able to attend the 61st annual Drake Relays in Des Moines this weekend.
Kansas baseball coach Floyd Temple has decided to shake up his defensive alignment in this weekend's three game set against Colorado in hopes of strengthening the Jayhawks overall potential.
Baseballers head for Colorado
The major switch will come in the form of the coach's son, Biff Temple, who just joined the Jayhawks last week after recuperating from an off-season knee injury.
Temple, the Jayhawks regular centerfelder last year, will make his first start of the season against the Buffaloes but it will be at a different position-first base. Regular first baseman Skip James will move to center field.
In another major move by coach Temple, error-plagued
Jo makes rookie team
Former Kansas basketball player Jo Jo White was named Thursday to the National Basketball Association's All-Rookie team.
White, who played for the Boston Celtics, was third in the balloting with eight votes.
Lew Alcindor, the NBA's Rookie of the Year, was the only unanimous choice to the mythical team.
Alcindor, the dominating 7-foot-2 Milwaukee center, was selected by all of the 14 NBA coaches in the ballotting. Teammate Bob Dandridge was next with 12 votes.
Rounding out the team were Dick Garrett of Los Angeles and Mike Davis of Baltimore. Garrett and Davis each received seven votes.
Honorable mention went to Norm Van Lier of Cincinnati, Lucius Allen of Seattle and Rick Roberson of Los Angeles.
KU track team loses two to injuries prior to relays
The Kansas track team bused a 27-man squad to Des Moines Thursday for the 61st annual Drake Relays, but left home two athletes with injuries. Steve Wilhelm, one of the Jayhawks' large weightmen, and Jay Mason, a distance runner, both suffered twisted ankles this past week.
"Wilhelm was throwing the discus and running out to get it," Coach Bob Timmons said, "when he stepped in a hammer hole." The injury occurred Tuesday.
Timmons said Mason's injury happened Sunday as he was training on a country road. "He
stepped on a rock and twisted his ankle," he said.
"I do not think either of them is hurt real bad," Timmons said, "but I will keep them out of competition this weekend. I do not want to mess them up for the conference meet."
Kansas discus thrower Doug Knop will have his last chance at capturing the discus title at Drake in competition that begins today and continues through tomorrow. The title has eluded Knop for
three years. He finished second as a sophomore and did not place last year.
Weightman Karl Salb will attempt to defend last year's shotput title and Bill Penny will challenge the defending national champion in the hammer.
Coach Timmons will have his runners competing in six relays at Drake. Heading the baton squad will be the sprint medley and the distance medley relays that won on their home track the past weekend.
shortstop Keith Leippman will switch positions with regular third baseman Paul Womble.
Leippman, who is leading KU in hitting with a .400 average, has already committed eight errors this season. KU is last in the conference in team fielding with only a .923 average.
Jayhawk pitching rotation will remain the same. Ex-basketballer Dave Robisch will pitch in the opener and Bill Stiegemeier will hurl in the nightcap.
Golf team plays host
The KU golf team will turn host for the first time this year today as it entertains other Big Eight teams in a meet at the Lawrence Country Club. Tomorrow the Jayhawks and other league teams travel to Manhattan where Kansas State will host a similar meet.
Today's meet will be a preview of the Big Eight championship tournament which will be played in Lawrence May 15-16.
The golfers will play 18 holes and scoring will be based on each team's four lowest individual scores.
KU coach 'Wilbur Norton feels his team has a chance to do well.
"The players have been scoring well in practice and because we know the course, I hope we do well," Norton said.
Norton will probably use Jack Rogers, Keokuk, Iowa, senior; Jim Dennerline, Paola freshman; Warren Wood, Independence, Kan, senior; and Craig DeLongy, Derby sophomore.
Stiegemier currently ranks fourth in the Big Eight pitching statistics with an earned-run-average of 1.39. Robisch, who also just joined the team, has an earned-run-average of 0.00 in the 6 innings he has pitched thus far
Temple said that Robisch will not pitch the entire game. It is likely that Bob Wolf will relieve the big southnaw late in the game.
"Robisch is coming along"
Temple said, "but his arm isn't completely ready for a full game yet."
Corky Ullom will pitch in Saturday afternoon's finale Temple said.
Both KU and the Buffaloes will attempt to jump to the first division in the conference race. The Jayhawks are 2-3 while Colorado is 3-4.
The probable starting lineup and batting order for KU is: 1. John Riggins, rf; 2. Lynn Snelgrove, 2b; 3. Keith Leippman, 3b; 4. Skip James, cf; 5. Ken Carpio, lf; 6. Paul Womble, ss; 7. Biff Temple, 1b; 8. Larry Matson,c.
