We had a short talk with Jack Stonestreet yesterday. He told us something that further proves the important roll fans play in athletic contests.
"Do me a favor," Jack said. "Sometime, run in your Trail something to the effect that we really appreciated the support the fans gave us Saturday."
He was speaking, of course, of the Jayhawks' 11-10 baseball victory over Kansas State in the second game of the two-game series.
"They really helped us pick up those five runs in the eighth inning. The whole team really appreciated it."
A Varsity House resident who was in on the conversation said the noise the fans made during the Jayhawker rally could be heard "clear up there."
"We wondered what was happening," he said
It seems to us a pretty fine tribute to Jayhawker athletic fans. And there's no more proof of what cheering can do for a team than when a team member actually tells you how it helped.
Baseball, when compared to basketball or football, is a minor sport at Kansas. But it's played in a big league way. Those nine guys are playing just as hard as any five on a court club or 11 on the gridiron, and we think it's great when the fans support them just as "throatily" as any other sport.
ORCHIDS DEPARTMENT: The expensive posies to Bob DeVinney, Herb Semper and Wes Santee. Besides the seven members from the Kansas basketball team going to the Olympic games this summer, you might watch for developments concerning these three
trackmen. Some say there's a good chance for the trio to make the Finland trip with the U.S. Olympic track team.
Semper and Santee were on the Jayhawker four-mile relay team which broke the intercollegiate record at the Drake relays Friday.
DeVinney, Kansas track captain, broke the U.S. 440-yard hurdle record.

MORE ON THE OILERS: Bud Browning, director of recreation at Phillips Petroleum company, Bartlesville, Okla., says the Phillips Oilers won't join the National Basketball association of the professionals.
The Oilers, which play in the National Industrial Basketball league of the AAU, appreciated the offer from Maurice Podoloff,
NBA president, but could not join the pro loop.
Now wouldn't it be interesting if the professionals finally got Clyde Lovette by signing the team he's to play with?
Spivey Faces Arrest For Perjury in 'Fix'
New York—(U.P.)-Seven foot Bill Spivey, the University of Kentucky's former All-America basketball center, faces arrest today on charges of perjury arising out of the "fixing" scandal.
Spivey, who stoutly maintains his innocence of any implication in "shaving points" in any games, was indicted here late last night and accused of swearing falsely when he told a New York county grand jury on Feb. 27 that he never had accepted money to "fix" a game.
Earlier yesterday, Spivey had been accused of taking bribes to fix three games, including a game against St. Louis in the Sugar bowl tournament at New Orleans, Dec. 29, 1950.
Iowa State Bumps KU; Play 2nd Game Today
By BOB NELSON Kansan Sports Writer
Iowa State's baseball club snapped the Jayhawkers' six-game winning streak with a 7 to 5 victory over Kansas on the Varsity diamond Monday afternoon. The loss was KU's first conference setback in four starts.
Fiss received the same type injury in the Jayhawkers' opener with Wichita on April 5 and just recently rounded into top form.
Kansas not only lost the game, but lost the services of its regular catcher, Galen Fiss, for at least 10 days with a split hand received in the first inning when a foul tip off Sam Long's bat caught his bare hand.
It was not on the charge of fixing games that Spivey was indicted, however, since the games were played outside of New York state. Rather it was on the charge that he perjured himself when he told the grand jury he had never fixed games.
His loss leaves Hub Ulrich's club with only two catchers, Bud Jones and Dean Smith.
The two teams play the final contest of the two-game series at 3 p.m. today with sophomore left-hander John Brose hurling for Kansas and Don Burgess, senior right-hander, toeing the rubber for the Cyclones.
Jack Luhring, Iowa State lefthand, spaced eight Kansas hits in hurling the Cyclones to their first Big Seven win in four games and left their overall season record at 3-7.
The Jayhawkers started the season by playing outstanding defensive ball against three non-conference fees-committing only five miscues.
Although the Cyclones got to Stonestreet's hurling for eight singles and a triple in his six intings on the mound, only one of six runs off the big junior righthander was earned.
Stonestreet has allowed only one earned run in 28 innings to date and has given up 14 hits. His control was nearly perfect as he walked none and struck out six.
A leaky Jayhawker defense kopt Kansas and starter Jack Stonestreet in trouble most of the way as the visitors scored six unearned runs resulting from six KU errors.
Kansas has committed 17 errors in the past three games and must improve defensively to be a pennant contender.
The Cyclones added three more runs (all unearned) in the fifth to go ahead, 4 to 1. Four singles and a pair of errors accounted for the scoring.
Kansas bounced back to take its only lead, 5 to 4, with four runs in the fifth inning. The Jayhawks batted around with five hits plus a costly error doing the damage to the Cyclones.
For Iowa State, Capt. John Guernsey and Frank Swan, third baseman and shortstop respectively, had two singles in four trips with Guernsey's blows driving home two runs. Alan Mackmer, first baseman, batted in two runs with a pair of onebase blows in five times at the plate.
Right fielder Walt Hicks paced the Kansas batters with two for four including a seventh inning double. Bill Enoch, left fielder, drove out two singles in five trips and batted in two runs in the fifth inning.
Ulrich's men tied the count at 1- all in the second inning on a walk by Hicks, a steal of second and a long double to right field by second baseman, John Perry.
Iowa State took a 1 to 0 lead in the first inning as Bob Taylor tripped to left center and raced home on Guernsey's squeeze bunt.
Enoch's single scored two runs and pinch hitter Charlie Bether's timely single scored the other runs.
Iowa State regained the lead with a two-run rally in the sixth innings. Iowa State won by two singles, a sacrifice and a long fly ball to take a 6 to 5 edge.
The winners got their other unearned run off Wayne Tiemeier, freshman lefthander from Lincolnville, in the seven inning.
In making his first Big Seven appearance, Tiemeier turned in an impressive three-inning relief role allowing no earned runs, two singles,
walked one and struck out three.
In registering his final 14 outbs,
Liberty and only 14 batters
through the sixth, seventh, eighth
and ninth innings.
After its four-run fifth inning rally, Kansas threatened only once, that threat coming in the seventh inning.
The Jayhawkers missed a golden opportunity in the seventh iming to tie the game at 7-all after Enoch led off with a single and moved to third on Hicks' double to the right field fence.
With none away, John Trombold flied to right field Irvin Stone. Enoch was doubled at home as he tried to score after the catch. Bether grounded out, pitcher to first to end the rally.
Box Score
A fugitive warrant was issued for his arrest and was forwarded to police chief Walter Franklin of Favette county, Kentucky.

Allen Lashes at 'Midwestern University' For Holding Illegal Summer Athletic Camp
"I still maintain my former position," said Spivey. "If the other guys got money, I don't know anything about it. I certainly didn't get any."
Dr. Forrest C. Allen last night accused a large Mid-Western university of conducting a summer athletic camp for prospective football and basketball players.
The veteran cage coach said, "This school, which subscribes fully to the North Central association rules, is setting up an illegitimate summer camp for its prospective high school athletic material far from the locale of the interested university.
In Oklahoma City to address a district Rotary club convention, Allen refused to name the school, but said, "It's a very large university, one with an outstanding athletic record. I'm announcing my knowledge of this camp publicly in hope the school will clear up the situation."
"All expenses are paid for the summer with frequent trips into
Spring Basketball Practice Sessions For 1953 Season Opened Yesterday
Juniors Capt. Dean Kelley, Charles Hoag, and Dean Smith; sophomores B. H. Born and freshmen Larry Davenport and Bill Heilholt are the only lettermen returning to the 1953 Kansas cage team.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen went to work yesterday with six returning lettermen from this year's Big Seven and NCAA championship basketball team in the first session of spring basketball.
Theirs is the task of taking up where graduating seniors Clyde Lovellette, Bob Kenney, Bill Lienhard, Bill Hougland and John Keller left off.
Because of the big de-emphasis of basketball, Kansas basketballers will be allowed only 12 spring practice sessions.
Spring football standout Gil Reich is slated to fit into the 1953 basket-ball picture as are sophomores Allan Kelley and LVannes Squires.
Kelley and Squires saw quite a big of action during the past season and probably will be counted on rather heavily by Allen.
Of course, the biggest job will be left up to 6 foot, 9 inch Born. He has the task of stepping to Lovellette's shoes on the 1953 Jayhawker team.
Canada spicing the trip. The alumni are doing this with full knowledge of the coaching staff."
Allen explained that a new rule in major conferences allows alumni
full access and freedom of contacting boys coming up from high schools while denying the coaches the same rights. But he added the rule even is being abused in this instance.
