Big Carl Sandefur made what was probably his last home appearance on the mound for the Kansas baseball team yesterday (unless he's called on for relief duty this afternoon). And he took his final curtain call on the home diamond in a blaze of glory as he pitched six innings of one-hit relief ball.
By JOHN HERRINGTON Kansan Sports Editor
It was the second win against no losses this year for the senior righthander who compiled one of the greatest first-year records in Big Seven conference annals in 1950.
Coming on in relief when Oklahoma hitters started gangling up on Jack Stone street, Sandefur gave up one single, walked four and struck out five.
Seven conference animals in 1960. Breaking in with the Jayhawkers as a sophomore that year Sandefur won seven conference games while losing one. Overall, he won eight and lost one.
He hurled 66 1-3 innings in 1950, allowing 23 runs, 43 hits and 23 walks. He struckout 47.
As a junior, he wasn't quite as fortunate, winning three and losing four. This year the 6-foot, 4-inch senior pitched 12 innings in his two victories and marked up wins over Rockhurst and Oklahoma.
In those 12 frames, Sandefur allowed only two hits. Against Rockhurst in Kansas City, April 16, he tossed his first one-hitter as Kansas bumped the Hawks, 4-0.
A good hitter for a pitcher, Sandefur helped his cause yesterday with a long double to right center. He bats left.
The 215-pound mound star doubled last year as offensive left tackle on the Jayhawk football team. Next fall, he's slated to take a coaching job at Hiawatha High school.
If Sandefur's brief, but effective, appearances are any sign that he is regaining the control he lost in early season, Hub Ulrich's pitching staff will be substantially bolstered.
Should Ulrich's other top mound righthander, Jack Stonestreet, return to his early-season form and should the Jayhawkers continue to improve at the plate, Kansas could still be a title threat.
Kansas is currently in third place, one game off Missouri's conference-leading pace. Nebraska, one-half game back, is in second place in the conference standings.
A Kansas win today, coupled with a Missouri loss to Oklahoma Friday, could send the Jayhawks into a first place tie with the Tigers.
Second place Nebraska meets unpredictable Iowa State in a Fi-Saturday series and Kansas State meets Colorado the same two days.
So if the Jayhawks should crash the select circle and come out with the conference laurels, a goodly portion of the championship should rest on the strong right arm of Sandefur.
Senators 21/2 Games Out As Yank Cast-offs Star
New York — (U.P.) — As if there wasn't enough excitement in Washington in this presidential election year, Bucky Harris and his Senators have to go stirring up some more with a six game winning streak and a drive that could make them solid contenders—if they don't fold up.
Usually, the Senators fold up really and let the election take its course in other presidential years. They finished seventh in '48, eighth in '49, and seventh in '40. And they were pre-season choices to do that again this year.
And if the members of Sid Hudson, Jackie Jensen, Archie Wilson, come into the conversation in the senatorial cloak rooms today along with Eisenhower, Kefauver, Taft, Russell, and a few others, it is to be expected.
But the Wily Harris seems to have other plans. Wily night as the Nats made it six in a row with a five-hit, 2 victory over Detroit by Sid Hudson, they strengthened their hold on third place and stood only 21 games out of first place. They kept pace with first place Boston which downed Chicago, 7 to 2, with second place Cleveland which again banged the Yarfkees, 7 to 2. And they picked up a full game on the fourth place Brown who were downed, 1 to 0, by the Athletics.
In the National league, Brooklyn stayed half a game in front of the Giants by winning a 5 to 4 decision at Cincinnati, while the Giants tipped the Cardinals, 3 to 1. The Pirates ended a six-game losing streak by defeating the Phillies, 5 to 1, and the Cubs and Braves were idle because of cold weather.
Hudson, a veteran who was supposed to have been washed up because of arm trouble, now is wearing with a full overhand motion again and he gave it the works against the Tigers last night for his second straight route-going performance. In 'his last outing he topped Cleveland, 2 to 1, in 13 innings. The newly-acquired ex-Yankees kept up their spree since joining Washington on Sunday. Jensen singled and doubled and drove in a run. Wilson went hitless but drew two key walks and still has a .524 average. Jim Busby, their third outfielder from the White Sox, collected two hits and scored two runs. Wilson got a $1,000 raise when he joined up with the Nats, proving it is sometimes better not to be Yankee.
The Yankees themselves were pondering that thought as they dropped their second straight to the Indians, who now have won four straight. ___

A Lesson in Logic
With warmer weather here, you'll be using twice as many clothes.
It takes too much of your time to launder them all yourself.
It costs a lot to send them home, and they may not get back when you need them most.
THEREFORE
The safe and thrifty thing to do is take them to Risk's. Leave them there while you shop or go to a movie. Pick them up later, fresh and clean.

According to Dr. Cross, the association ruling goes into effect Sept. 1, after which time Oklahoma will
follow the regulation.
Chancellor Gustavson, a member of the American Council on Education, commented the Sept. 1 deadline "doesn't mean that you can sin up to that date and then stop sinning."
