KU Plays K-State Tomorrow Saturday for League Cellar
Kansas emerged from the depths of the Big Seven baseball cellar Tuesday when they split a doubleheader with Colorado and they were replaced by the Kansas State Wildcats, who play host to the Jayhawkers tomorrow and Saturday.
Anything can be expected in the battle between the two archrivals as neither team has much in the way of a team this year. Kansas has won five and lost 11 in overall season play and the Wildcats have a record of three wins and seven losses. In conference play the Jayhawkers have a one and five record and the Wildcats have a one and seven mark.
Bright spots in the Colorado series $ ^{\textcircled{8}} $
Bright spots in the Colorado series was the apparent rejuvenated hitting of the Kansas club. In the game against Colorado the Jayhawkers looked like the same anemic bunch of hitters, but in the second game they broke loose with 11 hits to come from behind and win 11 to 10.
Coach Floyd Temple plans to start Gary Fenity in Friday's game if the little left-hander's ailing back is all right. Fenity pulled a muscle in his back in the second game with Colorado Tuesday. Wayne Tiemier will start Saturday's game against the Wildcats. If Fenity is unable to work Ben Dalton will get the starting assignment Friday.
Leading bitter on the club all season has been captain Forrest "Punky" Hoglund. Hoglund now is boasting a .400 average in Big Seven play. Prior to the Colorado series, when he got three hits in six trips, Hoglund was batting .357, good for a tie for eighth place in the conference batting race.
Only other changes in the lineup from early season will find Dudley Badrich in right field, with Don Dixon going, to left. Don. Steinmeyer regained his starting position at second Tuesday on the strength of his two hits in three trips in the second game.
Kansas State has a team composed mostly of sophomores and

has been ineffective at the plate and in pitching. Leading hitter on the team through the first few games was outfielder Bob Boyd, a left-handed hitter. The Wildcats have been on the losing end of some free-scoring affairs, dropping 15-2 and 13-1 decisions to Nebraska and losing 15 to 2 and 19 to 1 to Missouri.
Old Men Prepare For Arduous Season
With two Divisional championship trophies already grazing the Faculty club, the "nine old men" who make up the Faculty Fossils intramural softball team are again preparing for a hard season on the diamond.
"This is our fourth year and we have won two trophies so far, but this spring our squad has undertaken Operation X-to-the-Nth-Power—which means we're gunning for all the marbles and the Hill championship," said Nino Loo Bello, instructor in sociology, who is the manager and first baseman of the team.
Though the baseball-playing profits take considerable ribbing from their student adversaries, the team invariably manages to silence all skeptics with its sharp brand of ball. In their first season the Fos-
At Senior Day last May the Fossils crossed bats with an all-star team of the Senior class and lost a tight one, 3-1. This year the Fossils will engage the Seniors on May 17 in a donkey baseball game in an effort to avenge the bitter pill administered by the Class of 1954.

ils compiled a 9 and 1 record, and last year they amassed an impressive 10 and 2 skein. One of the victories was at the expense of Phog Allen's basketball varsity which challenged the Faculty to a Sunday morning game and lost 9-8.

Hearn, who won only eight games in 1954 paid another dividend on Durocher's new policy last night when he pitched the Giants to a 6-3 decision over the Cincinnati Redlegs. In a few short weeks he has made the full turn—from the No. 1 disappointment of last season to the team's No. 1 pitcher this year.
Cubs Snap Bums Streak; A's Win
Leo Durocher was happy today to admit he was all wrong because Hearn is making things all right for the New York Giants.
"I handled him wrong last season," the Giants' manager said. "I lost confidence in him but I promised I wouldn't do it again this year."
It was the third straight victory for the steadily-improving Giants and especially heartening because the Chicago Cubs snapped the runaway Brooklyn Dodgers' 11-game winning streak with a 10-8 win a few hours before the World Champions took the field in Cincinnati. The Giants still were $8!$ games behind Brooklyn but they served notice on the Dodgers that even an occasional slip will be penalized.
The Dodger's streak—longest of the season—ended when Ernie Banks hit a grand slam homer and Dee Fondy homered with two on for the Cubs. The Dodgers fought to catch up with a 14-hit attack including triples by Duke Snider and Roy Campanella but Jim Davis closed strong in relief to receive credit for his third win. The game marked the first time the Cubs beat former teammate Russ Meyer since July 16, 1950.
Rip Repulski's double scored Stan Musial and climaxed a three-run eight-inning rally that gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 win and stretched the Philadelphia Phillies' losing streak to 11 games. The Philies thus neared the club record of 14 straight setbacks suffered by the 1936 team. Joe Adecko hit two doubles and a single and Ed Mathews hit a three-run homer as the Milwaukee Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3, in the other National league game.
Al Kaline's seventh homer and three hits by Jay Porter and Harry Malmberg provided all the support Garver needed enroute to his third win. Bobby Shantz, relieving Alex Kellner, yielded only two hits in
six innings to win his second for the Athletics and Billy Klaus' two-run homer was the difference for the Red Sox, who celebrated the announcement of Ted Williams' return by snapping a five-game losing skin.
In the American league, the Cleveland Indians made it two straight over the New York Yankees, 4-3 and took a three-game hold on first place. Ned Garver's three-hitter sparked the Detroit Tigers to a 7-0 win over the Washington Senators; the Kansas City Athletics downed the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-3.
Last year the National league race produced 1114 home runs, as compared with only 823 in the American league.

DID YOU KNOW?
THAT IF MILK HAD GONE UP AS MUCH AS OTHER FOODS IT WOULD NOW COST 30c A QUART
The happy moral of the story is that milk prices HAVEN'T risen as much as other food prices and today your best food buy is milk.
Try a quart of Lawrence Sanitary's milk that is worth 30c a quart but is sold for only 20c.
