Jay daysaster
By JOHN HERRINGTON Kansan Sports Editor
This is one basketball season that may never end. Already this year, in regular season's games, NCAA playoffs and Olympic playoffs, the Jayhawkers have played 31 games, winning 28 of them. And it's not over yet.
Three Jayhawker regulars—Clyde Lovellette, Bob Kenney, and Bill Hougland—will play in the East-West Shrine game tomorrow night.
Tuesday, April 22, the Jayhawks are scheduled for a benefit game with the Stevenson Roofers in Topeka. Receipts from the game will go to the Shawnee County cancer crusade fund. The Roofers were runners-up in the Kansas AAU tournament.
Following that, the cagers may be through until summer. Before seven members of the team—Lovellette, Hougland, Kenney, Dean Kelley, Charlie Hoag, Bill Lienhard and John Keller—embark for Helsinki and the Olympic games, April 19 through August 3, the Jayhawkers will—in all probability—play three or four more games with the Peoria Diesel Caterpillars. The Caterpillars bumped the Jayhawkers in the finals of the Olympic trials in New York.
At least two of those games will be played in cities near the home courts of the teams. That means one game in Peoria and the other in Kansas City.
Following the Olympics, the Jayhawkers are slated for three or four more cracks at the Diesels. Sandwiched in between there someplace may be a tour of Armed Forces camps in Europe for the Olympic team.
Athletes from all 15 universities which took part in the Texas Relays last weekend are slated for the Kansas Relays April 19. Another six schools are also expected for the running of the Relays.
Coming along in an effort to drag a few more laurels down to the Lone Star state will be a raft of Texans from Texas university, Texas A&M college, North and East Texas State and Abilene Christian college.
One particular pair of red-hot Texans will blow into town for the 27th annual running of the Relays.
And Dean Smith and Charlie Thomas will have their hands full with a stiff battle before either of them can claim the 100-yard dash title.
In fact, about four lads are all set to give the "twin whirlwinds" a lot of trouble. Defending champion Thane Baker from Kansas State, Drake's Jim Ford, and a pair of Iowa runners—Ira Murchison and Glen Hesseltine.
But the Tall Texans can hold their own in any fracas. Smith clocked a :09.5 century in the Border Olympics and breezed home first in the wind in the Texas Relays last Saturday with a :10.0 time.
Thomas pulled the wind in to his back as he blazed to a :20.3. 200 meter title in Austin last Saturday. His time was just a tenth of a second off the World's record for the event.
Thomas anchored the Longhorns to a record-tying 1:28.5 performance in the 880-yard relay Saturday. He won the meet's "Most Outstanding Competitor" award.
Ford is probably the most formidable opponent of the Texans. He set a .095 mark in the Missouri Valley conference last May.
Baker has posted a :09.6 time in the 100-yard dash. He ran second to Smith after tacking up the fastest preliminary time last Saturday.

Women's Intramural Softball Opens With 6 Games During First Week
By JACKIE JONES
Kansan Sports Writer
The first week of the women's intramural softball program closed with only six of the scheduled 12 games going into the record books. Rain and wet grounds forced post-ponent of the other contests.
Two of the freshman teams gave notice that they are not to be overlooked in the bracket of championship contenders. The North College 4-5-6 squad took a high scoring victory from Gamma Phi Beta, 15 to 11. Corbin 2 also won their game with a 17 to 9 win over Delta Gamma.
Two games went into the books as forfeits; Sellards lost to Kappa Kappa Gamma and Temruth was defeated by Kappa Alpha Theta by the forfeit route.
In the other two contests, Alpha Phi took 17 to 8 victory over Corbin 4-Hodder, and the Jayettes won over Mall hall, 16 to 0.
worked the mound position for the losers.
The contest was limited to three innings, with the freshmen trailing 10 to 9 at the end of the first. Neither team scored in the second, but in the last inning the freshmen came back to score six runs while Gamma Phi was able to tally only once.

The Corbin team had an easy time in winning over the DG's. The winners took an 8 to 4 lead at the end of the first. In the second they continued to build their score by tallying seven times, while the losers were able to counter only four. In the third, the defensive play improved considerably and Corbin scored only twice while the DG's tallied once.

The Alpha Phi's looked better than average as they won over another freshman team, Corbin 4-Hodder. Kathryn North and Marti Combs shared the mound duties for the Alpha Phi's, and Mary Demerritt pitched for the freshmen.
The winners scored three runs in the first, none in the second, seven in the third, two in the fourth, and five in the fifth. The freshmen got a single run in the first, three in both the second and third, and one in the fourth. They were unable to rally in the last inning, as the batters went down in order.
The other game of the week saw the Jayettes take an impressive victory over Miller hall.
