The night after a large fan turnout, manager Tommy Thomas Oriolee praises Lollar for his relaxed approach and long sleep, noting 14 hours nightly.

Lollar, born Fayetteville August 23, 1924, starred in Fayetteville High School basketball and Kansas State Teachers College before baseball with Fayetteville American Legion Junior Club.
