PAGE FOUR . UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1951 A Kansan Still Blocks Bill McGuire's Title Path Columbia, Mo.—Bill McGuire takes his final cut at the Big Seven's outdoor mile title here on his home layout this weekend—and once again Mizzou's premier distance horse will find a sturdy Kansan primed to deny him that pinnacle. This year's Jayhawk entry is Herb Semper, the brilliant two-miler who will try to corner both distance titles on Rollins Field Saturday afternoon. Emerging as a more durable hand this season, Semper outsped Mcquire in the anchor lap of the distance medley at Drake, and was keyed to call the Missouri's hand in last week's M.U.-K.U. dual, canceled by rain. A two-time conference indoor mile champion, McGuire has never won his speciality in the Big Seven's outdoor derby. His conqueror, both in 1949 and 1950, was K.U.'s Bob Karnes the gritty Jayhawker who forged a 4:12.6 league record in notching his third straight mile victory at Lincoln last year. In 1949, Hal Hinchee—Karnes' stablemate—made it a 1-2 Jayhawk finish, pushing McGuire to third. Mizzou's slender captain, whose best 1951 mile was a 4:16.4 against Notre Dame, probably will be compelled to flirt with Karnes' record time in his bid to hurl back Semper's challenge Saturday. The race could provide the day's most throbbing duel, and is further spiced with such entries as Cliff Abel and Keith Palmquist, Kansas; Jim Wilkinson, Oklahoma; and Dean Kays, Kansas State. Semper, who won the N.C.A.A. cross-country cup last fall, has stormed successive anchor hitches for K.U.'s relayers in 4:14.6 and 4:11.7—his latter effort wiping out McGuire's two-yard touchoff lead at Drake. Both racers are likely to be main-eventers in the two-mile also, since Bob Fox, ordinarily Semper's closest pursuit at this distance, has been buffeted by a prolonged siege of glandular fever. The Kansas red-top will rule a decided favorite to pace the two-mile field, and defend the title he won in 9:21 over Lincoln's slow, soggy cinders. Whatever McGuire's success in going for the elusive outdoor mile title, the slim New Yorker already has made his niche as Missouri's all-time distance giant. He holds school records in both the mile (4:10.7) and two-mile (9:16.7) outdoors, the indoor mile mark for M.U. athletes (4:14.8), and shares the two-mile indoor record (9:20.9) with teammate Bob Fox. Kansas State Nine Wins Final Tilt From Jayhawkers Perk Reitemeir gave up only scratch singles, both in the seventh inning, as he pitched Kansas State to a 10 to 2 victory over Kansas at Manhattan Tuesday afternoon. In avenging three previous losses to K.U. this season, the Wildcats pounded out 15 hits off Carl Sandefur to give him his third defeat against three conference victories. The loss was K.U.'s sixth in 11 Big Seven games this season and K-State's third win in 11 games. Reitemeier pitched no-hit ball for six and two-thirds innings before yielding singles to Curt Harris and Dean Smith in the seventh. The K-State junior blasted a 2-run homer in the fourth inning. Dick Johnson, K-State center fielder, had a perfect day at the plate blasting Sandefur's offerings for three doubles and a pair of singles. Kansas again had defensive troubles as they committed five errors. The Jayhawkers have four remaining conference games. Kansas plays Colorado here Friday and Saturday in its final home games White Sox Peddle Cain For Rogovin Chicago (U.P.) — Southpaw Bob Cain, the New York Yankees' number one nemesis, was traded to Detroit by the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Saul Rogovin today while seven other big league clubs prepared to pare to the 25-player limit by midnight. Cain, a 26-year-old Kansan, won nine games and lost 12 for Chicago last season, beating the Yankees four times. Among the games he lost to New York were a three-hit 2 to 0 decision and a 10-inning 2 to 1 contest. So far this season, he won one game and dropped two. Rogovin, a lanky 200-pound righthander from Brooklyn, won one and lost one this season and had a record in the record with the Tigers last year. Elsewhere in the American league, Cleveland got down to the 25-player limit by sending pitchers Jess Flores and Charlie Harris, recently obtained from the Athletics, to San Diego of the Pacific Coast league. That left the Yankees and the Athletics as the only American League clubs above the limit. Both teams have 28 players and must drop three before midnight tonight.
