Jayhawks to Meet Tigers Saturday In Final Dual Match of'53 Season
The Kansas track team will meet Missouri in its final dual meet of the season Saturday in Memorial stadium as it polishes up for the Big Seven conference meet at Ames the following week.
The Jayhawk aggregation will be shooting for its 14th consecutive dual meet triumph at the expense of the Tigers, who they defeated by a resounding $71\frac{1}{2}$ to $31\frac{1}{2}$ score during the indoor season. The meet will precede the annual varsity-alumni football game slated to start at 3 p.m.
Norm Steanson, Big Seven indoor pole vault champ, will seek revenge for an indoor defeat at the hands of Missouri's Frank Dickey. Both men have consistently topped the 13 foot mark, but Steanson holds the edge with his 13 foot 6'4" inch vault at the indoor meet. In their dual meet in February, Dickey went 13 feet to defeat Steanson, who could muster a jump of only 12 feet 6 inches.
In overall power, the Jayhawker thinlads hold a wide edge, and should win handily. In their indoor meeting, Kansas won first place in every running event and in all but two field events.
The Tigers have a good distance man in two-miler Jerry Piper, but he will have a rough time of it if he expects to win over Big Seven indoor champ Keith Palmquist and Dick Wilson. Palmquist and Wilson have won that event for the Jayhawkers in every outing so far this season. Piper is capable of running well under the 10 minute mark, however, and in the event that Wilson and Palmquist aren't in top shape, he could give them a good contest.
Santee and Koby shouldn't be challenged in their one-two dominance of the mile. Santee has run as low as 4:06.7 this season in relay jauits, with two times around 4:12 in the open mile.
As usual, the other two distance events should be safe in the hands of Wes Santee, Lloyd Koby, and Art Dalzell.
In the event that Santee doesn't run the half, Dalzell will be able to fill the gap. Dalzell is the defending outdoor Big Seven champ in that event.
The 102-yard dash seems safely tucked away, since the trio of Don Hess, Dick McGlinn, and Bill Hawkey made a clean sweep of the event in the indoor meet with the Tigers.

ALUMS NOW—George Mrkonic and Jerry Robertson, two of Kansas' biggest stars in recent KU football years, will be playing for the alumni in Saturday's varsity-alumni game in Memorial stadium. Mrkonic was an all Big Seven tackle and Robertson was one of the top passers in the conference in '51 and '52.
Eight More Ex-Grid Stars To Play in Game Saturday
Eight more former Jayhawker gridiron stars have announced they will play against the varsity in Saturday's alumni-varsity game, bringing the alum roster to 14.
The game, scheduled to get under way at 3 p.m., will be preceded by the KU-Missouri track dual. All receipts from the $1 admission charge will go to the K-club, sponsors of the third annual clash, which was won in 1951 by the old-timers, 13-6, and last year by the varsity, 14-0.
Three of last fall's players are among those who signed up today. They are tackle George Mrkonic, a three-year letterman; guard Dick Rossman, a defensive ace for two years, and passing star Jerry Robertson, quarterback in 1951 and 1952.
Other additions are Kenny (Red) Morrow, a reserve quarterback on the 1947 Orange Bowl team; lineman Wally Rouse, 1949; Henry Lamping, 1950 halfback; 1950 co-captain tackle Mike McCormack, who played some time with the Dallas Texans before entering the Army, and 1951 all-conference guard George Kennard, who was a member of the New York Giants last fall.

Tri Delts Win Divisional Title

North College pitcher Ann Williams gave up 15 runs in the first inning to give the Tri Delts a big margin through the rest of the game. Short Stop Kay Lewis hit a home run with two on base for three of the Tri Delt tallies.
The Tri Delts will meet the Alpha Chi Omega's at 4 p.m. today in the semi-finals playoff on diamond 1.

North College scored three runs in the second inning on singles by Judy Fink, Donna Spotts, and Sue Schwantis.

It generally was assumed that Dom's unusually slow progress in rounding into shape, plus manager Lou Boudreau's policy to go along with rookies, prompted DiMaggio's somewhat premature retirement.
Dom DiMaggio Quits Game After 18 Years With Boston

The bespectacled "little professor", who had been relegated to pinch-hitting role in his 14th season with the Boston club, said he was retiring because he didn't want to be a "hanger-on."

During most of spring training this year, the diminutive outfielder was kept inactive by an ailing right eye. But Dom maintained his vision had nothing to do with his decision.
I want it understood there is nothing wrong with my right eye which only recently underwent treatment," he said. "My vision is better than 20-20 in both eyes with glasses."

"I believe I could have played at least one more year of good baseball," he said. "But under the circumstances, I prefer to turn my interests elsewhere rather than be a hanger-on."
Regarding future plans, Dom said only that he would take a short trip to his native California and return to live at his Wellesley, Mass. home.
