Crawford Still Unbeaten As Kansas Dumps Washburn
By BOB LONGSTAFF

Kansas Assistant Sports Editor
The Kansas tennis won its eighth straight victory yesterday as it downed Washburn university 6-1 on the Ichabod's home court.
Charles Crawford, KU ace, broke the tie between him and Gene Powell as he defeated the No. Ichabod player in a hard fought match 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Both players hail from Topeka and clashed once this summer with Powell emerging the victor. Crawford evened the score earlier this season and moved ahead in the friendly rivalry with yesterday's win.
Gene Fotopoulos, who has returned to the Kansas No. 2 slot, dropped Phil Blackburn 6-2, 7-5 John Freiburger breezed by Larry Ingemason 6-4, 6-2 for the third Kansas win.
After losing the first set, Al Hedstrom stormed back to defeat Charles Steele 6-8, 6-4, 6-1. Hal Titus showed improvement as he easily won over Neal Gerboth 6-3, 6-1.
The Jayhawkers had more trouble in the doubles matches. Kansas dropped the first match to Washburn for the only Kansas loss of the meet. Powell and Blackburn of the Icahabed team powered their win over Crawford and Fotopoulos 7-5, 6-4.
The second set of the second doubles match went to 38 games

before Kansas eked out the win Freiburger and Hedstrom battled Ingemason and Steele until 7 p.m. before the Jayhawkers won 6-4, 20-18.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a return meet with the Kansas State Wildcats this Friday.
A controversy has arisen over the meet played here earlier this season with the Wildcats. Both teams claim a victory for the meet which was played partly in rain. The doubles matches of that meet were not played since it was raining.
The Wildcats claim a 4-2 victory by default according to the Kansas State Collegian indoor courts were not available, and therefore, the two matches went to K-State. The Collegian does not mention the match between Gene Fotopoulos and Don Upson which went to three sets with the last set going to 18 games before Fotopoulos won 6-4, 7-9, 10-8. The last hour of that match was played in a steady rain.
The Kansans claim a 3-2 victory on the basis of a precedent set at Kansas State last year. The situation was nearly the same with rain stopping the meet with the Wildcats on top of a 3-2 score. At this season's meet April 22, the Wildcat players agreed that it was a Kansas victory because of the precedent set at K-State the year before.
The controversial meet was sent to the Big Seven conference as a victory for the Jayhawkers.
Coach Dick Mechem said both teams would be on edge for the meet this Friday because of the controversy.
The Big Seven tournament will be at Norman, Okla., May 16-17 to decide the Big Seven champs.

Stonestreet, Brose Share Mound Duties in OU Series
With Jack Stonestreet hurling for Kansas today and Lefty John Brose slated to toe the rubber against Oklahoma's baseballlers toorrow, five Jayhawkers, including the KU pitchers, have a special interest in defeatingOU in what they regard as a two-game "home-coming series."
Last summer, Brose, John Trombold, KU first baseman-outfielder; Walt Hicks, right fielder, and Charlie Appling, reserve infielder, played ball with the strong Wichita Boeing Bo-Jets, a strong semi-pro outfit operating under Ban Johnson age limits.
These Jayhawkers will be competing today and tomorrow against three of last summer's Boeing BoJet teammates who are now members of Oklahoma's baseball team. This sooner trio includes Carl Allison, freshman catcher who doubles in football; Bill Harrah, senior second baseman, and OU's fresh hurling star, Max Sanders.
It is quite possible that Stone-street will be opposed on the mound
