Kansas Edged By Cowpokes 5 to 4 in Eleven Innings
Oklahoma A&M boosted its season's total to 11 straight wins yesterday when they downed a scrapping University of Kansas nine 5 to 4 in 11 innings here on the six-hit pitching of Aggie ace Tom Borland.
The game was probably one of the best ever played on the local diamond from the spectator's viewpoint as lefty Wayne Tiemeier and right-hander Ben Dalton combined to give the Jayhawkers good pitching against the power-laden Cowpokes. Tiemeier lasted for eight and two-thirds innings before being replaced by Dalton, who got the loss.
Kansas outfielder Bob Conn got the big blow of the evening when he clouted a home run in the eighth inning with no one on base. For the Aggies, catcher Jerry Patrick drove in two runs, scored one himself, and blasted out a single, double, and a triple in six trips to the plate.
Borland, who went the route, now has a record of four wins against no losses. The nifty southpaw struck out 13 men, walk 8, and gave up only 6 hits in eleven innings. Several major league scouts were on hand to see Borland work.
The game was marked by some outstanding plays in the field with only a minimum of mistakes for a college contest. Jayhawker short-stop Gary Padgett made two stops of hard grounders that robbed the Aggies of two runs and in the ninth inning left-fielder Dick Blowey made a miraculous catch of Fred Babb's long fly to left center field. Don Dixon also made a fine catch in right in the ninth.
Ron Bennett, Jim Woolard, Jim Finnegan, and Don Bacon each got two hits apiece in the well-balanced Aggie attack. Relief pitcher Ben Dalton got a double and a single in two times at bat for Kansas as he attempted to aid his own cause.
Kansas scored first, in the fifth inning, when catcher Loren Martin walked, moved to second on a sacrifice by Tiemeier, and then scored on a single by Hogland, who also scored on the play on Babb's error.
Kansas was leading 4 to 2 going into the last of the ninth but the first two batters, Finnegan and Patrick, opened up on Tiemeier with a double and triple, scoring one run. Coach Floyd Temple replaced Tiemeier with Dalton but the Aggies got another run off Dalton on a single by Bacon. Val Dixson popped up to Martin and Borland fled out to right to end the inning with the score tied 4-4.
The Jayhawkers scored another run in the sixth when Dick Blowey walked and then scored from first base on Don Steinmeyer's single. The Aggies bounced back in the seventh, after Temeier had pitched shutout ball for six innings, and scored two runs to make it 3 to 2. Babb walked, Bennett struck out, Woolard singled, Finnegan grounded out, and then Patrick doubled to score Babb and Woolard.
In the eighth Kansas made it 4 to 2 when Corn led off in the inning with a tremendous home run to left field. From then on Borland handcuffed the Kansas, allowing only two more hits.
That ended the scoring until the last of the eleventh when the Aggies got the winning run. Mayo Hemperley opened the inning with a walk, went to third on Steinmeyer's error after Bacon had singled. Dalton loaded the bases when he walked Babb and then walked Bennett to push across the winning run.

City Bans Softball Practice on Fields
Intramural softball teams have been requested to stop practicing softball on diamonds belonging to Lawrence public schools, Walter Mikols, director of the department said today.
Ted Wheeler, an ex-扛车 runner now in the Army at Ft. Leonard Wood, is another entry in the event. Wheeler won the 1500 meter run here in 1952 in 3:54.4, the second best time ever posted at the Relays.
