It seems to us that Mr. Kerner's slams are just what Clyde called them—"vicious and unwarranted." So he lost the services of whom we consider the greatest basketball player in the nation today. So the ball players' ball player made a decision that didn't exactly go along with Kerner's plans. So what?
Is there any valid reason for the "jilted" manager of the professional Hawks to start his mud-slinging? Not that we can see.
It seems to us that Brother Kerner is in the wrong field of work. He should have been a professional politician. Then he could throw all the mud be pleased and everyone would accept it.
Since the first time Clyde told us he wouldn't play pro ball, we've been in favor of his decision. Now we're even more so in favor.
Three cheers for Clyde Lovellette!
We were wondering how long he could sit back and take the snide remarks a certain person has been so vehemently tossing about.
We're glad the big boy ignored most of the slams Ben Kerner took at him, but we're also pleased he got hot enough under the collar to come out in defense of his decision and inform Mr. Kerner he could get off at the next stop.
Now we hope Mr. Kerner is man enough to go back to his job of managing the Milwaukee Hawks and forget he ever came in contact with Clyde.
Our train of thinking runs along the same line as Clyde's. We don't see how he—or anyone else, for that matter—could be happy "as an employee of any organization with whom Mr. Kerner is associated."

Kansas won five games and lost nine in baseball last year. The Jayhawkers placed fifth in the Big Seven conference.
Weather Plays Lead Role For KU-KS Weekend Games
Do you know...

Brose looked impressive in winning his only start hurling no-hit no-run ball for five innings in KU's 13 to 4 victory over Rockhurst college here April 8. He likely will be opposed by K-State' Jack Dilman, 6 to winner over Iowa State at Ames on Monday for the Wildcat's lone conference win.
With three of their first four conference games rained out, Kansas baseballers hope to fare better with Old Man Weather over the weekend in four Big Seven home games—clashes with Kansas State tomorrow and Saturday and single games with Iowa State on Monday and Tuesday.
Kansas, still undefeated in four games this year (3-0 in non-conference and 1-0 in league play), will rely on John Brose's southpaw slants to bring victory No. 5 in tomorrow's game. He should be making his first league start and appearance in Big Seven competition.
But chances for playing tomorrow's series opener at 3 p.m. with the K-State Wildcats seemed doubtful due to an already water-soaked diamond and a forecast calling for more April showers.
Should tomorrow's clash be rained out or postponed due to wet grounds, the two teams will try to play two seven inning games starting at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Kansas State, sixth place finishers last year, have a 4-4 overall season and 1-4 conference record to date. After winning its opener with Forbes Air Base and a pair from Wichita, Kansas State lost its opening conference series with Nebraska, 12 to 1 and 14 to 1, and one-sided decisions last week to Missouri at Columbia, 20 to 0 and 12 to 4.

Hub Ulrich will send big Carl Sandefur to the mound Saturday for his Jayhawkers. Sandefur's hurling opponent will probably be Rex Wade.
Sandefur, senior righthander, turned in an outstanding one-hit non-run six inning job against Rockhurst college as KU shutout the Kansas City crew, 4 to 0, during spring vacation. With this big fast-baller again flashing top form, Kansas has probably the best one-two righthand hurling punch in the Big Seven in Jack Stonestreet and Sandefur.
Stonestreet, junior righthander, has compiled a most remarkable record to date in winning his two starts and in two additional relief roles. His excellent two-hit performance against the power-laden Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln last Saturday provided KU with a 6 to 1 victory and labeled the Jayhawkers as definite title contenders.
As a sophomore in 1950, Sandefun
Stonestreet, KU's ace hurler, is expected to start Monday's game against Iowa State with Brose toeing the rubber in Tuesday's game or sharing duty with Sandefur.
JACK STONESTREET
compiled one of the greatest first year pitching records in the loop's history as he won seven and lost only one. Last year he won three and lost four. Sandefur has a 12-5 KU career record to date including conference and non-conference decisions.
To date, Stonestreet has pitched 18 innings allowing no earned runs, five hits (all singles), seven bases
Coach Urlrich's big three—Stone street, Brose and Sandefur, could very well pitch Kansas to a Big Seven baseball title with a break thrown in and there. Kansas' pitchers are getting fine support afield as KU has committed only seven errors in handling 153 chances for an impressive .954 mark.
on balls and has struckout 12 batters.
Although the Jayhawkers' hitting is still below par, this year's club shows promise of becoming a hard hitting long-ball outfit, a club that offers much more potential power at the plate than last year's fifth place team.
So overall, Kansas must definitely be considered a title threat along with Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. To date, Colorado still is untested but could well play the darkhorse role.
Coach Ulrich is expected to start the same lineup (outside the pitcher) against K-State that looked imminent. He gave the 6 to 1 victory over Nebraska.

This lineup includes Frank Wolf, shortstop; Bill Enoch, left field; George Voss, first base; Walt Hicks, right field; John Perry, second base; Bill Pulliam, third base; Bud Laughlin, center field, with Galen Fiss doing the catching.
