Blue Glove Aids Kansas Swing in Doubleheader Sweep
Kansas blanked Kansas State 6-4 in the opener and won 6-2 in the nightcap to sweep the series in Manhattan. Coach Floyd Temple credited a blue glove with focus on the bench as the Jayhawks improved to 2-8 in the Big Eight. First baseman Skip James sparked the offense with five hits and four RBIs, including a three run homer in game two that gave him four league homers and six overall. The glove is said to stay on Temple’s bench as a good luck charm.
