KU Nips K-State, 7-4 In Big Seven Opener
By JACK LINDBERG

Kansas Assistant Sports Editor
Lefthander John Brose pitched and batted the KU baseball team to a 7-4 win over Kansas State yesterday afternoon to run the home victory string to three, and give the Jayhawks their first Big Seven win of the season.
Brose showed perfect control in the rain interrupted and rain halted game, as he struck out nine and didn't issue a single base-on-balls. In the 6th inning, with a man on base, Brose hit a tremendous drive that landed on Mississippi street.
Two other Hawks hit homers, John Perry in the 1st inning with no one on base, and John Trombold in the second with one on. This was Trombold's third homer in three games, but this drive took a bad hop over the head of K-State's centerfielder Jim Logsdon and went for an inside-the-park homer.
Rain halted the game in the bottom half of the 5th inning with two outs and a two-ball, one-strike count on KU's Punky Hogland, and the home club holding a slim 5-3 lead. After a 35-minute delay the contest was resumed with Hogland walking, and Don Augst flying out to end the inning.
The game was finally called with the Jayhawks at bat in the bottom of the eighth.
The KU team, as in previous games of the season, was out hit by their opponent, but by using the homerun to great advantage, and some timely clutch hitting, it has scored without the use of many hits.
Kansas State's big threat came in the 3rd innning, Steve Hennessey, Smith, and Perk Reeitemeir hit singles to load the bases. Brose errored on Whitehead's roller to the mound to let in one run. Prigmore struck out. Then Myers hit a grounder to Harold Bergsten, who threw to second getting Whitehead, and Smith scored on the play. Hartshorn击到 second, but Bill Pulliam let the ball get through into
light field, kicking Kellemeyer, but
he was not ready. He had to third caught Myers trying to get an extra base, and the Hawks escaped without further injury.
KU scored two runs in the first, one on Perry's homer, and another on a walk and two K-State errors. Three runs were scored in the second, two on Trombold's drive, and one on two singles with a sacrifice squeezed in between.
K-State's final tally came in the
eight on two singles, and an error

Bergsten and Brose led the KU hitting attack with two hits each, and Hennessey and Reitemeier had two apice for the losers.
Reitemier's pitching was almost as effective as that of Brose, but two costly errors and six bases-on-balls kept him in trouble.
Each pitcher struck out the side in one inning. Bros retired three in a row in the fourth, and Reitmeier fanned three in the sixth, but 'not before KU could score two runs.
The Minneapolis Lakers won their third straight National Basketball association championship last night with an 87-80 win over the Syracuse Nationals at Minneapolis.

Mather Praises Defensive Play In Scrimmage
In the dressing room, after yesterday's first scrimmage, football Coach Chuck Mather had nothing but good words for the Kansas football squad.
"The boys are really catching on now," Mather said. "They are hitting and blocking hard. This was a real good practice after only three days of work." he said.
The first 33 men on the squad, the lettermen and those with the most experience, worked most of the practice session on offensive plays.
The men with less game experience, mostly freshmen and sophomores, were in the scrimmage.
Freshmen Blaine Hollinger and Harry Solter received exceptional praise from the coach for their long runs during the scrimmage. But the coach was more impressed with the defensive play. "The defense is really doing a good job," Mather said.
The squad is now down to 73 men, after 86 reported for the first practice. Mather said there would probably not be any more cutting of the squad because it is now close to the size he wants it.
Mather also said the varsity-alumni game is scheduled for May 15 at 3 p.m. in Memorial stadium.

Hogan's Inactivity in Golf May Have Cost Him Masters
University Daily Kansan
New York—(U.P.)-Golf's big question since Sam Snead's playoff victory in the Masters is whether time has caught up to Ben Hogan and the answer seems to be that, while Ben is a long way from being a hecker, the clock is gaining fast.
The debate didn't develop be-➊
The debate didn't develop because of Slammin' Sam's fine playoff victory. It started after the fourth and final round of the regular tournament. For who can remember when Hogan held a fat three shot lead with 18 holes to play—and lost?
But you can't give Snead too much hope in the open of this playoff victory over Hogan. After all, this was three victories for Sam in as many head-and-head outings against Ben.
It is true that Ben, making infrequent tournament appearances, has been devoting much time to his new golf club business. But he was on hand at Augusta long before the tournament to sharpen his shots, and when it comes to practice the little killer of the fairways is in a class all by himself.
Yet Ben blew that lead. And, as he did it, he showed for the first time in memory that he actually is conscious of those around him. For years he has been a poker-faced automaton apparently unconcerned with what the other guy was doing. But this time he admitted he had one eye on his closest rivals, and their proximity forced him into a losing gamble.
The slammer walloped Ben years back in the San Francisco match play championship. And, in 1950, he beat Ben in a playoff for the Los Angeles Open crown.
But come the Open, Sam hasn't been able to finish his run.
This crack in the famed Hogan armor of iciness must be of interest to those who will match shots against Ben this June when he goes after his record fifth U.S. Open championship. Particularly, you would benefit from Snead's one unfilled golf ambition is to win that heretofore elusive title.
His trouble there is "rabbit ears"
he plays player expression for a man who knows
"It's different when I can play with him and see what he's doing,"
Sam admits. "It's when I can't see him that he worries me. Sure, I get upset when he's a few foursomes ahead of me and I hear those yells from the crowd which is following him."
Starting the last round, Sam was one shot back of Hogan. He still was one back of Hogan with only 10 points. Then Ben stormed down the stretch to finish with a blazing 33, carding birdies on the two final holes.
That's what happened to Sam at Oakmont last year—when he finished second to Hogan in the Open-
The crowd's cheers came like a thunderclap, and Sam, playing 15 minutes back and within solid earshot, crumbled.
One stroke back with nine holes to play. Sam trailed in disconsequently—six shots back at the finish.
