Definitely Kansas as I have this photo during the National Baseball Congress games showing two players in the same uniform. Probably the Kansas State tournament portion. This came from Ralph Winegarner that is shown wearing the Beechcraft jersey.

That's a great photo! I had an opportunity to acquire a Beechcraft team jersey that was likely from this season but I passed on it adhering strictly to our needs and focus.

My pleasure. This image looks like it was in a publication of sorts, judging by the halftone. Do you know the origin?
