Two-Game Series With OU Slated Tomorrow, Thursday
Kansas completes its schedule of home games tomorrow and Thursday in a two-game series with Oklahoma's baseball club. Both games are slated to start at 3 p.m.
Jack Stonestreet, junior right-hander, will go to the hill for the Jayhawkers tomorrow and try to pull Kansas' sixth Big Seven win in eight starts out of the fire.
Thursday, it'll be lefty John Brose. Wichita sophomore, doing the pitching for the Jav Hawks.
Opposing the Kansas hurlers, 1951's college baseball Coach of the Year, Jack Baer, will send pro prospect Max Sanders to the mound Thursday and counter Stonestreet with Floyd Murphy, only Sooner returning pitcher, omorrow.
After taming Nebraska, 6 o 1, on two hits for the Cornhuskers' only conference loss to date. Stone-street (2-2), has had trouble in his last two Big Seven starts, losing to Iowa State. 7-5 and to Colorado, 9-8.
Brose (3-0) tamed the Buffs on five hits last Saturday at Boulder, as KU won 9-2. Brose had a no-hitter working through the first seven innings.
Third place Kansas will pit its 5-2
league record against fifth place Oklahoma, who owns a 2-3 record going into today's game with Kansas State at Manhattan.
The Sooners opened a six game road trip, to be played in as many days, yesterday by outslugging the Wildcats, 18-12.
Last year, Oklahoma won the Big Seven title with a 10-1 record and went on to cop the NCAA baseball title at Omaha.
After dropping six straight non-conference games last year, OU rallied to win 13 straight at the season's end to capture the NCAA bunting in four straight, the first time this feat has been accomplished.
Gone from last year's Sooner championship club are its top three pitchers who won 16 of 19 games. This trio included Jack Shirley, Jim Waldrip and John Davis. Murphy won three and lost one in working only 27 1-3 innings.
Five regulars return off last year's Oklahoma club. Lost were outfielders Charlie Pugley and Phil McKee and third baseman Ray Morgosh.
This year's lineup includes Gene Sheets, first base; Bill Harrah, second base; Roger Wich, shortstop; Joe Straka, at third; and outfielders Jim Antonio in right and a pair of frosh in center and left, Buddy Leake, of grid fame, and Billy Knox, respectively.
Sheets, Harrah, Wich, and Antonio were regulars last year. One of the Sooner's regular 1951 catchers, John Reddell, is back again. Splitting backstopping chores with him is freshman, Carl Allison, who also doubles as an outfielder.
Baer has a young and inexperienced pitching staff. Outside of Murphy, he is relying mainly upon his freshman and three sophomores to shoulder the load this year.
Besides Sanders, Wichita freshman lefthander, Baer has sophomore hurlers Jack Van Pool, Dick Welch and Larry Foley.
Defensive-Tight Giants Win, 3-2 From Cubs; Lead National League
New York—(U.P.)—Leo Durocher is directing another "operation" miracle" with his jaunty Giants, who ought to be charged with arson the way they're burning up the western end of the National league.
These sure-fingered, strong-throwing, timely hitting guys have won seven straight games behind the most brilliant pitching in the majors. $___
In 16 games this year, the infield which Durocher said makes this "my kind of a team" has committed only two errors. The club has made only six errors in all, the other four having been committed by pitchers and catchers.
In their all-victorious sweep through the west, including a bitterly-contested 3 to 2 decision from the Cubs yesterday, the only error committed was by Bill Rigney, a substitute shortstop, filling in at a game in Pittsburgh in the late innings.
Whitey Lockman, the converted outfielder who had to learn suddenly to be a first baseman when Durocher brought him in to play the bag last summer, hasn't made a bobble yet. Neither has steady Alvin Dark at shortstop, nor has Davey Williams booted one yet at second where he is doing a great job of replacing Eddie Stanky.
Bobby Thompson, just as much of a defensive standout at third base as he was in center field, has made only one error. The contrast is all the more striking when it is noted that the Braves, the shakiest team defensively, have committed 39 errors thus far.
Yesterday's victory was a typical one. The Giants made only four hits off lefty Paul Minner, but it was all they needed behind perfect defense and relief pitching of Monte Kennedy, the almost forgotten southpaw.
Kennedy took over for Jim Heinm and pitched one-hit ball for 61⁄₂ innings, holding the Cubs hitless for the final five. Wes Westrum hit a homer after Dark singled for two runs, then missed on a bunt when Minner erred on a bunt by Lockman, after which Thompson tripped.
In the limited Monday activity, the aroused Senators made it three straight over the Brown's pummel-
ing them to the count of 13 to 1, while the Indians made it two in a row over the Red Sox at Boston, winning 4 to 2 in 10 innings. In the only other National league action, the Dodgers breezed to a 5 to 1 decision over the Pirates in a rain-shortened, eight-inning game.
The brigade of ex-yankees performing for the Senators came through for them in a 15-hit thumping. Spec Shea pitched four-hit ball for seven innings and Archie Wilson and Jackie Jensen were big men at the plate. Wilson batted in five runs on a double and two sinning, Neer Joey managed a double and single. Neer Joey won for the Browns, was batted out of the box for the third straight time.

Women's Intramural Softball Enters Final Week of Action
Bv JACKIE JONES
The women's intramural softball program entered the final week of regular play last night with four contests going into the records.
Kappa Alpha Theta defeated Alpha Phi, 7 to 3; Cohops defeated Foster hall, 29 to 2; Alpha Chi Omega defeated Locksley hall, 5 to 4, and the Cohops defeated Locksley, 11 to 1.
By virtue of their victory over the Alpha Phi's the Thetaas won their division title, and will now move into the playoffs for the women's Hill championship.
The Thetas scored four runs in the first inning when Nancy Seaman singled, Connie Kagey struck out, Syd Ashton singed, and Sue of the Royals struck. Nancy Gilchrist struck out, and then Barbara Quinn homered.
For the Alpha Phi's in the first, Connie North and Marti Combs each singled. Both later scored when Virginia Lightfoot singled.
The Cohops had little trouble in defeating Foster hall, as the pitching of Gloria Nelson held the Foster sound to a pair of runs.
In the closest game of the afternoon, the Alpha Chi's came from behind in the third inning to defeat Locksley hall.
The Locksley team took a 3 to 0 lead in the first and scored once in the second. The Alpha Chi's failed to score in the first, but picked up two runs in the second and three in the third.
Donna Cromack, Doraine Wiegel, and Dorothy Nicklaus did the scoring for Locksley, while the Alpha
Chi scorers were Jane Dunnire, Mary Ann Mahoney, Ruth Abercrombie, and Jean Michaels.
The Cohops won their second game of the afternoon when they handed Locksley their second defeat of the day. Gloria Nelson pitched for the freshmen while Dorothy Nicklaus did the hurling for Locksley.
The Jayhawk tennis team aims for its eighth win in nine starts today as it meets the Washburn netmen in Topeka.
The Jayhawkers won an earlier meet from the Ichabods here 6-1, but Coach Dick Mechem expects heavier competition from the Ichabods on their home courts.
Netmen Face Ichs Today
Two Topekans, Charles Crawford, KU tennis ace, and Gene Powers. No. 1 Washburn player, will meet in a match which will decide a friendly rivalry. Although both players hail from the same city, they have met only twice on the courts. Powell scored the first win last summer, but Crawford evened the score with a 6-4, 9-7 victory over Powell when the two teams clashed April 24.
Oklahoma President Says Sooners Deliberately Violating Big 7 Rule
Norman, Okla.—U.P.)—Oklahoma University President, George L. Cross said last night his school was deliberately violating a Big Seven conference ban of football player recruiting, and "will continue to do so" until September.
"There's a difference of opinion as to whether we are actually breaking the rule," he said.
Dr. Cross said he doesn't "think the Big Seven will do anything about this clause" which forbids a coach from contacting high school athletes, even when visiting in the boys' town for speeches or on business.
He pointed out that stiff new
"We are prepared to follow these regulations when they become effective," he said.
North Central association rules which prohibit all colleges from contacting athletes and alumni from offering financial aid go into effect September 1.
"Our present rule is silly." Dr. Cross said. "We couldn't stay in business if we followed it to the letter."
The university president said that the school was making "no secret of it. If a coach is in a small town and passes a boy by, why naturally the boy thinks we're snubbing him."
J. Paul Sheedy\* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"YOUR HAIR looks as though it's been in the rein, deer," a campus Caribou told Sheedy. "If you want to horn on in the sororities, it might behoof a man of your elk to try Wildroot Cream-Oil, America's Favorite Hair Tonic. Contains soothing Lanolin. Non-alcoholic. Grooms hair neatly and naturally all day long. Relieves annoying dryness. Removes moose, ugly dandruff. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail Test!" Paul got Wildroot Cream-Oil and now no girl wonders whether he’s man or moose! If your moose is cooked by unruly hair, collect a little doe and take a taxi-dermist to the nearest drug or toilet goods counter for a bottle or tube of Wildroot Cream-Oil. And ask for it on your hair at the barber shop so your deer won't think you’ve let her hard down. (What she’ll say will be moose-i-c to your ears!)
