Wildcats Twist
The Tigers’ Tail

The Big Six National League soft-
ball games went into the third week
of competition Monday afternoon
with a mighty upset of the powerful
Tiger aggregation at the hands of the
strong Wildcats. .

The Tigers had shown strong pos-
siblities of being able to complete the
season without a defeat. However,
they met their betters in losing to
the rejuvenated Wildcats 21 to 10.
The outcome of the game was certain
from the beginning as the. winners
scored in every inning except the
first.

Coming up in standing each game
are the hard fighting Cornhuskers
who took the air out of the windy
Cyclones to the tune of 26 to 10.
They began the first inning scoring
_ 5 runs to their opponents 1.

 

The lowly Sooners and Jayhawks i

fought each other with the Sooners |
pushing the "Hawks into a sub-base-
ment level by a score of 15 to 5. The
losers allowed their opponents to
score 8 runs in the first inning, which
proved too great an obstacle to over-_
come.

The first half of the summer sched-

ule was finished with the games
Wednesday. This finds the Tigers

and Cyclones tied for first place, the

Cyclones in second and the Wildcats,

Jayhawkers and sooners tied for last

position.

There was some indication that
the second half on the schedule will
show some change in team position
in that the Jayhawks, who failed to
win a game in their first four starts,
were successful in defeating the
Wildcats in a heetic game which
ended in a 20 to 19 victory for the
"Hawks. Incidently the Wildcats
were the team who upset the highly
tutored Tigers. The Hawks may be
down but not out.

The Cyclones had little trouble in
defeating the Sooners by the top
heavy score of 15 to 3. The winners.
were able to collect 12 runs in the
first three innings while their op-
_ ponents failed to score until the last
inning.

The two leading rivals met this
afternoon with the Tigers coming
back after defeat to down the Corn-
huskers 14 to 7. The winners led all
of the way.

Nears the End

Six games in the “last chance”
week of play are keeping the Big
Six National Softball Leaguers busy
as the season draws to a close, with
the Sooners meeting the Jayhawks
on diamond No. 3, the Huskers and
Cyclones tangling on No. 2, and the
Wildcats battling the Tigers on No.
1 tomorrow afternoon.

The league-leading Tigers played
the Jayhawks yesterday, while the

_|Sooners met the Huskers and the

Wildcats and Cyclnoes squared off to
get three of the games out of the

| way. Next week will see the appli-

cation of the finishing touches to
the summes_ session’ season, after
which a game between the pennant
winners and an all-star team chosen

|from the other teams will vie for
|more honors.

Tentatively scheduled is a game
between the winner of that soiree
and an all-star aggregation from
Lawrence, but no definite arrange-
ments have been completed as yet, ,
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of the sum-
mer session recreation program, said
today. The game, if plans to hold
it materialize by then, will be an-
nounced in Friday’s Kansan.
