Iowa State Downs Kansas Twice 7-4,10-0 at Ames
KU's hitless wonders suffered two more setbacks over the weekend when the Iowa State baseball squad nipped them twice 7 to 4 and 10 to 0 in Ames on Friday and Saturday.
Gary Thompson, Cyclone basketball and baseball star homered with the bases loaded in the third inning of Friday's game to erase a 2 to 0 Jayhawk lead and pave the way for the Cyclone's victory. The homer was in reality a long fly ball but a heavy wind caught the ball and carried it over the fence.
Ben Dalton of Kansas received the loss, his fourth of the season against two wins. The game was called in the seventh inning due to darkness.
Kansas could get only three hits in Saturday's game as the Iowa state nine received 12 walks and blasted three KU hurlers for nine hits. Wayne Tiemeyer started for KU and received the loss. He was relieved in the fourth by Gary Fenity who was relieved by Larry Ullmann.

Buffs, Jayhawks Clash in Loop Baseball Game
Righthander Ben Dalton, who lost 7 to 4 Friday against Iowa State and has a season's record of two wins and four losses, will start for Coach Floyd Temple in today's game. Lefty Wayne Tiemeier, who pitched four innings at Ames Saturday and received the loss, will start tomorrow's game.
Coach Frank Prentupt's selection for a starter in today's game is Harold Sprehe, a righthander who was scheduled to pitch against Missouri Saturday in a game that was rained out. Sprehe has won three and lost one against mediocre opposition and has an earned run average of 3.60. His only loss came at the hands of Wyoming when he came on in the ninth inning and couldn't protect the 7-6 lead, contributing to his own downfall when he gave up a wild pitch with two men out that enabled Wymoing to tie the score.
The Colorado squad had a lofty steam batting average of .361 until it met Missouri last weekend. The Buffs have two men who were hitting over .500 until Friday in Carroll Hardy and Frank Bernardi. Hardy was hitting at a .568 clip and Bernardi at a .510 pace. Second baseman Nylum had a .438 average.
Either Bob Weber, who has won three and lost two, or Chris Schmidt will start tomorrow's game. Weber had a 2.88 earned run average up till last weekend. He lost a close 3-2 decision to Kansas State and was beaten by Missouri's Norm Stewart 5 to 3 at Columbia Friday.
The Kansas team batting average up until last week's road trip was a paltry .205. Only man hitting over .300 prior to the Iowa State series was Captain Forrest Hoglund who had a .319 average.
