Golfers Meet K-State In Second Big 7 Match
Kansas golfers played a strong Kansas State team at the Lawrence Country Club today. The matches began at 12:45 p.m.
Fresh from two overwhelming wins over Nebraska and Omaha last weekend, KU rates a totsup in its first home meet of the season.
Originally the meet was scheduled to be played at Manhattan, but plans were changed Tuesday. Since Kansas State is bringing only four golfers, Bill Sayler and Tom Phoenix were forced into a playoff for the No. 4 position.
Kansas State owns a 5-3 record for the season with wins over Tulsa, Washburn, Wichita, Oklahoma Baptist, and Nebraska. Their losses came at the hands of Tulsa, Arkansas, and Wichita.
Sayler fired a sparkling 40-34-74 on the Lawrence Country Club course Tuesday to win. Phoenix carded a 40-37-77.
Kansas has a 2-3 record so far this season, losing to Tulane, Houston, and Southern Methodist on the spring vacation southern trip.
Against a common opponent,
Nebraska, KU won $15\frac{1}{2}$ to $2\frac{1}{2}$
while K-State's margin of victory
was narrower, $10\frac{1}{2}$ to $7\frac{1}{2}$.
Captain Bob Richards is expected to have trouble with Kansas State's No. 1 man, Dave Smith. Smith has turned in several excellent rounds in winning seven of eight matches. His best round this spring is a two-under par 68 on the tricky Manhattan course.
Ed MacGee, Jim Davies, and Sayler round out the KU team.
The oldest known specimen of a flowering plant has recently been found in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, the National Geographic Society reports. A palm-like growth that flourished 165 million years ago, it left the imprint of its leaves on Colorado's red rock. Fossil experts have discovered seven such imprints. The largest was 18 inches long.

Pittsburg Crushes WU In Track 87-43
PITTSBURG (UP) — Pittsburg State's track team, winning 11 of 15 events, showed its heels to Wichita University athletes Monday in an 87 to 43 verdict.
Bob Wooten and Mel Coates of Pittsburg and Bob Humphreys of Wichita won two events each. Wooten polished his performances by setting new meet records in the 100 and 220 dashes with :9.6 and :20.9 respectively.
Coates set a new record of .23.3 for the low hurdles and Humphreys improved the meet's shot-put mark with a toss of 49 feet $ _{1/4} $ inches.

Glen Cunningham of Kansas won the NCAA mile championship in 1933 with a time of 4:09.8. This was the fastest mile ever run in the U.S. and only Jules Ladoumegue of France, world's record holder at 4:09.2 had ever run the mile faster.

2 Quarterbacks On Injury List
Dave Preston and Bob Marshall, both pushing Wally Strauch for the starting quarterback position on KU's football team next fall, are on the injury list following Saturday's practice. Both are recovering from knee injuries.
Preston will be lost for the remainder of spring drills. Although not a major injury, it is serious enough that he will not be able to work out in any of the remaining six practices. Marshall's injury is only slight and he is expected to work out in a few days.
Tuesday's practice was used mainly to brush up on the mistakes committed Saturday. Coach Chuck Mather said that he wasn't at all "disappointed with the over all workout Saturday. We are still ahead of this time last year."
The squad worked on individual fundamentals running drills Tuesday. No scrimmaging was held. Coach Mather plans to scrimmage today, working mostly on offense. He said that the offense still needs more polish before the intersquid game April 28.
Night Tennis Courts Lighted For Students
Two tennis courts have been lighted for night playing by Robinson Annex.
Light switches are at the front of the annex. They may be turned on after 7 p.m. and will go off automatically at 10:30 p.m. Students leaving the courts before that time are asked to turn off the lights.
Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education, would like for students to call and tell him how effective the lights are. Other courts will be lighted if these are satisfactory.
