Versatile Dave Kuhn Gobblers' Big HopeRICHMOND, Ul — Virginia Tech’s baseball team is taking a while to get warmed up to its ta.sk this spring, but the same ln’t true of the Gobblers’ Mr. Versatility”. Dave Kuhn.While Tech has lost twice and played to one tie in three starts. Kuhn has been busily living up to advance notices as a hitter. In seven trips to the plate, he’s had five hits— a triple, three doubles and a single—for *an eyepopping .714 average, and has knocked across three runs.Kuhn, however, has shown only half his baseball talents thusfar. Wake Forest and North CAro-lina saw him as a left fielder, who played errorless ball and a terror at the plate. But quite a lot of people think Kuhn is even better as a pitcher, and in this role he hasn't gone on display as yet.Kuhn posted a 4-1 record for Tech on the mound in 1957 and had an earned-run average of 1.45 that was the best in the state Big Six. In his combination outfield-pitching role last year he batted a neat .313.Kuhn's first start as a pitcher probably will come this week when Coach Red .alrd, the warmup” games behind him. sends the Techmen into Southern Conference action against The Citadel on Friday and Saturday.
