loss Monday, in the Jayhawkers' first conference game against Kansas State, 2 to 1.
Tony Risinger and Eddie Fisher,
Sooner right-handers, will handle
the pitching chores for the Oklahomans. Risinger has a 1-1 record and Fisher's record is 1-0.
Opposing the Sooners on Saturday will be Jayhawker right-hander Ron Wiley, outstanding sophomore pitcher. He has a 4-0 record, and is one of the leading hitters for KU.
This is the first Big Seven game for the Sooners, who have a 4-3 record in non-conference play. They have lost two games to Texas and one game to Texas Christian. They have beaten Minnesota twice and swept two from the Oklahoma Aggies.
The Detroit Tigers' star shortstop, Harvey Kuenn, got his draft notice Thursday. He was notified to report to his Milwaukee draft board May 11, presumably for a physical examination. The 25-year-old Kuenn has twice been classified 4-F because of a high school football injury to his knee.
The Jayhawkers have a 7-1 season record. They split their first two conference games with K-State, losing 2 to 1 in the first game, and then truncated the Wildcats in the second game of the series, 19 to 1.

Tracksters To Drake
After turning in impressive performances at the Texas and Kansas Relays, the University of Kansas track team will find the opposition much stiffer at the 47th annual Drake Relays at Des Moines Saturday.
The Jayhawkers will face their biggest test of the year in the weight events. Bill Nieder will be matched once again with the world's record holder in the shotput, Parry O'Brien, and will also be trying to better the 60-foot mark for the second time in his career.
Oerter Faces Trouble
Al Oerter, who won the Texas and Kansas Relays discus titles with throws of 165 feet two inches and 170 feet two inches will face Carl Vereen, six-foot six-inch Georgia Tech tackle, who has reached 175 feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches this spring. Oerter's best collegiate throw is 174 feet 3 inches.
Les Bitner, Kansas' NCAA javelin champion, will face the top two javelin throwers in the U.S. at Drake. Phil Conley of California Tech and Ben Garcia of Tempe State have thrown the javelin 237 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches and 236 feet 6 inches respectively. Bitner's best throw this spring is 220 feet 8 inches.
Dash Record Possible
The 100-yard dash could possibly produce a new collegiate record with the addition of Duke's Dave Sime to the field. Sime ran the 100 in :99.4 Wednesday for the second time this season and Dick Blair placed second behind Bob Whilden of Texas who won the event in :99.4 at the Kansas Relays.
Kansas will also be after their third title in the four-mile relay which they won handily at Texas and Kansas. The new opposition in

this event will be provided by Notre Dame, with Bill Squires anchoring, and Michigan State, led by the core of their 1955 NCAA cross-country title team.
The New York Yankees surrendered first place to the idle White Sox when Baltimore rallied for five runs in the sixth inning. The Orioles scored the winning run on a wild throw by shortstop Jerry Lumpe. Lumpe has now committed seven errors in nine games.
