Lefty Larry Miller signed a pro contract reportedly around 35 000 dollars, leaving Kansas University baseball for the majors. Coach Floyd Temple praised Miller's decision as prudent given wild bonus inflation and noted Miller will begin in triple A this spring. Miller, a senior in an engineering program, posted a 7 2 record with 108 strikeouts and a 215 batting average last season. Temple said many players face tough choices when offered large bonuses.
