Softball Teams

In Round T

All soft ball teams got under way
Monday afternoon in beginning the
second round of the schedule. Prob-
ably the’ high light of the afternoon
was the rejuvenated play of the Jay-
hawks who succeeded in producing
a five run rally in the first half of the
seventh inning to defeat the Corn-
huskers who were co-holders of the
first position.

Tt is interesting to not the better
quality of play being shown by the
‘Hawks in their recent games. They
are taking advantages of the breaks
and may heckle any nine contending
for championship honors.

Both teams seemed to be evenly
matched throughout the game. First
one team and then the other would
take the lead. In the first of the sev-
enth the Jayhawk bats began to ring
and they were able to tally five runs
which placed them on top by a 10-5
score at the finish.

The highly touted Tigers were able
to regain undisputed position of first
place in shutting off the hot air from
the bats of the windy Cyclones and
winning, 8 to 2. Milt Allen pitched an
exceptionally good game.

The Sooners and Wildcats finished

up the afternoon with the ’cats tak- |

ing a close 4 to 1 decision.

In Wednesday’s games the Jay-
hawks bore into the side of the Cy-
clones and succeeded in squeezing
through with a 13 to 12 win. The
loosers went into the last half of the
seventh five runs behind and suc-
ceeded in collecting four runs before
the rally was nipped. This game, in
consideration of the outcome of the
others, should carry the "Hawks out
of the cellar position which they have
held from the first of the season.

The Wildcats were able to recover
from their Monday’s defeat and wal-
lop the Cornhuskers, 16 to 4. The
winners wasted little time in start-
ing. They collected four runs in the
first and nine in the third and also
added to their total in the second and
fifth innings. Bob Allen had to take

over pitching duties for the Huskers
without a great deal of warm-up.
Lawrence hurled for the winners and
held his opponents to one run in the

 

gong 0
fourth, two in the fifth and one in the
7th inning.

The mighty Tigers and the hard
luck Sooners finished up the after-
noon of baseball with the victory go-
ing to the league-leading Tigers. A
total of 19 runs was chalked up for
the winners against 10 for the losers.
The Sooners played under a terrible
handicap with only an eight man
team.
