Sooners Undefeated

By Dave Shirk :

The Sooners won their second game of the season Thursday
by defeating the J ayhawkers, last year’s champions, 7 to 6 The
Winning pitcher was Bert N ash, a southpaw. The team won the
game. Such stars as Paul Masoner, captain, Fred Littooy, and
Russell Mosser, the Sooner’s number one pitcher, contributing
some fine work. With the fine pitching of left-handed Nash and
that of Mosser, the team should be a strong contender for first

place position this summer.

Errors that the Jayhawkers made

 

proved to be costly. However,—

the closeness of the score indi- |
cates they are not a weak team.

The Tigers went into the winning |
column for the first time by defeat-,
ing the Wildcats in an extra inning.
The game was 3 to 0 in the last half |
of the seventh inning, in favor of the
Wildcats. At the end of the seventh
the Tigers tied the score at three all. |
In the eighth inning the Wildcats
turned on the steam by knocking in
three more runs, to make one of the
most exciting games of the season.

These games should be very inter-
esting and exciting. The Sooners
will try to retain their lead by bat-
ting against one of the best pitchers
in the “Big Six National League,”
Bobby Allen. The Jayhawkers last
year’s champions have not yet ap-
peared in the winning column, and
they will be out to defeat the Wild-
cats, to get their first win of the
season. Each team will start its best
pitcher, and will be out to win,

Dr. Allen, No. 1 umpire, urgest that
anyone who wants to see some very
exciting games come down to the in-
tramural field at 4:15 each Monday
and Wednesday and see 65 or 70 men
