Baseball, major league variety, is teetering on the brink down KC way. With benefactor Arnold Johnson having died, the heirs are putting the club up for sale. There is great fear that someone might get hold of the franchise and move it from Kansas City. Every effort is being made to reach 850,000 attendance, a figure which automatically keeps the club in Kansas City.

While this attendance drive is going on, the are doing little to help. They are floundering in the American League basement, with little hope of improvement. Bob Elliott, the manager, seems to be taking the brunt of the criticism but those of us who are a little farther away can't see the as a real big league team. Threy are mostly a bunch of castoffs, mainly from the Yankees. A Triple A League? One friend in Kansas City tended minimize the rest of the league.

Baltimore wins the American League, then we are definitely in a Triple A he declared. Well, Baltimore far off the pace and could quite believably grab the AL flag. But that downgrade the Orioles as much as it displays the ineptness of Kansas City. No Krai Kingpin There has been considerable discussion about the unpredictable standings in the major league this summer. Just why are we seeing first division performances by Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh and St.

Louis? It seems to me that this is due mainly to the lack of any really great team in either league. We are without the Yankees of old, the Braves of recent years or the Dodgers when they operated out of Fbbets Field. It therefore, that Baltimore is suddenly great, as much as it is that New York and Chicago the powerhouses they were expected to be. One major league executive explained it pretty well in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. have reached a point in both professional and college sports where complete domination by any one team is ended.

All big league teams have plenty of money and all colleges use scholarships. This puts everyone on an even footing in competing for the talent it should lead to great competition for many years to NU Football Roster Left Ends No Nairn Ht.

There were demands for an even later start. Steps were taken to protect competitors in the exhausting 5.000 and 10.000 meter runs, the 20-kilometer walk and the marathon, all scheduled late in the day. The 5.000 meters and the 20- kilometer walk are Sept. 2. The 10.000 meters run is Sept.

A teammate of Jensen, Jorgen Jorgensen, also was being treated in the hospital for sunstroke. Raya Mohamed, a coach of the Pakistan field hockey team, and a Bulgarian training. Hours of work in the hot sun have begun to sap his strength, friends said. Cyclists were concerned over the 175-kilometer individual road race Tuesday, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

The finish was so close, in fact, that American officials filed a protest. Photographers at the finish grouped around Larson, ast sinning he had won.

Devitt was about a yard ahead of Larson entering the final 20 yards but Larson began flying and two strokes from the finished was inches ahead and his right had seemed to some to touch the finish end of the pool an instant sooner than left hand.

Halfback duties will be up for grabs. This could be a strong point in the attack, too, but it is practically an untested group. At left half are Pat Clare, a dazzler from Sioux City, who was hampered by injuries as a soph. He has i onrl nvPr tho 1 ioH ill UHUCl guilt cl IVULL AUJW4 aw spring drills.

Behind Clare are Gene Ward, a letterman last year, Bernie Clay, a transfer from Illinois, and Bennie Dillard. This quartet could be sensational. Clay is highly-touted as a payoff runner. Dillard, is the fastest on the squad if he can overcome the injuries that plagued him in two previous tries at Nebraska. Ward is the steady guy.

played some good football for us last year and will help us a lot this Jennings says. At right halfback there will be two-letter winners, Clay White, along with Warren Powers of Kansas City, Gary Warden of Fremont and Dennis Steuwe of Hamburg, Minn. Again, outside of White, this is a bunch of newcomers. Powers, who had the No. 1 spot at the end of spring drills, was on the squad in 1959 but did not play.

He has good speed and has added valuable weight in the past year. Warden and Steuwe played eitther. Jennings has no immediate plans for experimentation. He has made a few pre-practice shifts. Dallas Dyer, letterman from Lexington, has moved to fullback.

Ward went from right to left halfback. Fred Fisher, a soph, moved from fullback to right half and Bruce Young, a soph, from end to fullback. Jed Rood, a non-playing soph has been added to the roster at guard. Two players were dropped from the fall Bob Carroll and tackle Bill Schachel. both of Rock Island.

111. The players will report Wednesday afternoon for a picture-taking session with the press. Two-a-day drills will begin Thursday and continue until the start of school. There are just 17 practice days before the night opener against Texas at Austin. Varsity coaches will be Jennings, LeRoy Pearce, defensive backs and ends; Dick Monroe, centers; Rus Faulkinberry, guards; Don Scarbrough, tackles; Cletus Fischer, offensive backs; and Jack ends.
