Sprinting into the next to the last
week of competition the powerful
Tiger nine swamped the faltering
Jayhawks by a score of 23 to 5 Wed-
nesday afternoon.

Throughout the entire season the
league leaders have showed their
heels to all competition in the Big Six
Soft Ball League.

Their great power was piauifedcd
in Monday’s game when they piled
up such a large score against a team
that had earlier shown considerable
improvement. The winners have al-
ways been able to depend upon the
sterling play of first baseman Bruce,
Longberg at third, and Knipe, Kibler,
and Meak in the outfield.

Although the Jayhawks tried hard,
they failed to show any power against
the winners because of their numer-
our errors. Frost oak well for the
losers.

The Cyclones and the Wildcats
tangled in the second game of the
afternoon with the ’cats adding to
their winning streak by a 13 to 6
score. The great lead of the winners
came in the second and third innings
when they succeeded in collecting 8
runs. Lawrence pitched a steady
game and kept the opponents’ hits
well scattered. For the hard luck
Cyclones, Bosilevac, Sweatman, and
Narramore were outstanding.

The big surprise of the day was the
fine showing the Sooners made
against the more powerful Corn-
huskers. Scoring in all but the last
two innings, the Oklahoma name-
sakes came out on top in the close 10
to 7 battle.

The Sooners have been another
one of the hard luck teams of the
season, playing part of the time with
a few players missing. The losers
-have been a hot and cold team all
during the summer, but not for the
lack of a good pitcher. Wilkinson,
who hurls for the ’husker boys, is
considered one of the best on the Hill.
He has had past experience, having
held the same position last summer.

In Wednesday’s program probably
the most interesting contest was that
between the Tigers and the Wildcats.
It ended up in a tie and they were
forced to go an extra inning with the

leading Tigers finally winning 12 to
10. The winners got a slow start,
scoring only one in the first and none
in the second. In the fourth and sixth
they tallied 3 runs each inning and
in the eighth added two more scores
which brought them victory.

On the other hand, the Wildcats
made a strong start scoring 6 runs in
the first two innings, then added one
in the sixth and three in the seventh
which tied up the game. Failing to
score in the seventh cost them the
contest. Knipe was the shining star
for the Tigers in having a perfect day
at bat. Lawrence collected three for
four times at bat for the Wildcats.

The Cyclones sang the same old
story. They were defeated for the
second time this week. The Corn-
huskers scoring six in the first, four
in the third and two in the fourth
easily won by a 12 to 4 score.

In an abbreviated affair of five in-
nings, the rejuvenated Sooners were
able to pile up such a margin against
the Jayhawks in their 18 to 2 score,
that it was decided to call the game. |.

The season will be finished up with
Monday’s games. The mighty Tigers,
who have led all season, have played
consistently good ball. Only once or
twice have they found themselves in
trouble, never very seriously.

An All Star team will appear in the
paper next week and this selected
group will play either a team in a
night game in North Lawrence or
clash with the second All-Star team
on the Hill.
