Four Teams Advance In Softball Playoffs
By JIM CAMERON Kansan Sports Writer
Theta Chi, DU, Phi Gam, and ATO won first round playoff games in Fraternity "A" intramural softball yesterday. The winners will play again tomorrow. Today's schedule has two Independent "A" and one Fraternity "B" games.
In the only close game yesterday DU beat AKL 3-1. Losing pitcher Hugh Bowden gave up only four hits, but five walks and five errors were a deciding factor in the loss. Winning pitcher Clarence Johnson scattered five hits and three walks, and had good support from his teammates to limit the AKLs to one run. The DUs had only one fielding error. Hugh Bowden was the leading hitter of the game with two singles.
Theta Chi made 23 hits in defeating PiKA 16-9. Eight walks were also issued to the winners by losing pitcher Holt Denman. Jimmy Simmons led the Theta Chi hitting attack with four safeties. The PiKAs had 11 hits and four walks, Catcher Norman Scott led the losers hitting with three. Benny Croyle was the winning pitcher for the Theta Chis.
Phi Gam beat Beat 11-2 on the hitting of Warren Woody. Woody had two singles and a triple in four times at bat, Dick Rumsey gave up nine hits in winning, but kept them well scattered. He also issued three walks. The winners hit Dallas Dobbs for 11 safeties and drew six bases on balls. Dobbs was the losing pitcher.
The other game, also one sided,
had ATD winning over Phi Psi
14-1. The game, which lasted five
innings, had Bob Mallory as the
winning pitcher on the strength of
a three-hitter.
Losing pitcher Bernell Hiskey gave up eight hits, but 14 walks was the determining factor. Besides pitching the victory, Mallory led the hitting with a single and a home run.

The Cardinals, slugging away mercilessly, pounded out 17 hits, good for a 17-4 victory over Pittsburgh last night, the only team which Stanky eliminates in the playoffs. The cameramobile, the boosted their edge over the dodgers and the Phillies deadlocked in second place, to 14 games.
BY UNITED PRESS There's a seven-team first division in the National league today with everybody but the Pirates at .500 percentage or better and Eddie Stanky, the manager of the pace-setting Cardinals, thinks it may stay that way right up until the stretch month of September.
But his St. Louis sluggers were in a position today to make him a false prophet by taking charge of the race right now with a game and a half lead over the rest of the pack. That's the widest margin any team has enjoyed thus far in the mad housing scramble in the NL where everybody is trying to live on the same percentage point.
NL Has 7 Teams In 1st Division
The Cardinals batted around and then some twice. They poured over six runs in the first inning and seven more in the seventh in the rout.
By UNITED PRESS
Stan (The Man) Musial hit his 13th horse to go in front again and he also drove in four runs to take over the major league leadership in that department with 41. Rookie Wally Lolly lived up to his reputation as the youngster most likely to take first year all-around honors by driving in three runs with a pair of sacrifice flies and a key single. Pitcher Tom Poholsky breezed to an easy 11-hit triumph, his first of the season and also drove in four runs with three singles. Catcher Del Rice drove in three runs with a pair of doubles. Poholsky would have fared better in the final reckoning except for a three-run homer by pinch-hitter Preston Ward in the sixth inning when it really didn't matter for the Pirates.

'HardWork'IsCoachesMotto For Football Players Jobs
The Chuck Mather coaching staff has a philosophy about summer work for football players.
It can be best said in the words of Dave Putts, guard and center coach, "We find that eight hours a day of good hard labor makes men out of our boys."
By RON GRANDON
And the summer schedule for most of KU's football squad squares up exactly with his words. All play and no work makes Jack a sloppy center—and that goes for any other position on the field, the coaches said.
The squad members have handed cards, listing their tentative summer jobs, in to the football office. They list almost every type of hard labor from Navy ROTC cruises to rostautbouting in the oil fields.
The coaches were unanimous in saying that such jobs as construction labor, concrete form pouring, highway construction, and farm labor are the perfect forms of summer work for the KU football team.
However, the staff isn't content with a mere eight-hour workout if it can talk the squad into following the instructions of a note-book which each man will take home with him this summer.
Putts said, "With out first game with Texas Christian coming up the 18th of September, it's a necessity for him to play well by the ditchschool start next year."
The coaches said that overweight players shouldn't be too big a problem next year, but the squad needs to make sure they are healthy if it's going to be a tom-tom team
The players will be handed books of plays and general team information as they leave after finals, and will be expected to know them letter perfect when they come back in the fall.
According to the coaching staff, several obstacles still stand in the
way of hard labor for all of the players this summer. Several they listed were ROTC cruises, summer school, and the lack of jobs in some areas.
A plan to keep the players in touch with each other during the summer includes weekly postcards from the players which will be published in a bulletin form for release to all of the players. According to the staff, this is mainly a team-spirit innovation by the new head coach.
