Netmen Close Dual Season With 6-1 Win
The Jayhawkner tennis team closed out an undefeated dual meet season. Monday with a convincing 6 to 1 win over Missouri at Columbia. The Kansans have one match remaining, the all-important conference meet, scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Missouri.
The victory over the Tigers gives K.U. a 7-0 mark in Big Seven play and a 10-0 overall record.
Charley Crawford No. 1 man in Coach Glen Tongier's lineup, defeated Bill Lane of Missoui 6-0. 7-5. Crawford, a southpaw, has lost only one match throughout the season and will play a big part this weekend when Kansas goes after the title that has eluded them since 1947.
Jack Ransom has considerably more difficulty subduing his opponent, Keith Worthington. Ransom took the first set handily, 6-2, but the second match went to 24 games before the Jayhawker won 13-11.
John Freiburger followed much the same pattern as Ransom. The diminutive Jayhawk shutout Palmer Clarkson 6-0 in the first match, but then slacked off considerably before taking the final meeting on a 9-7 count.
Bow Swartzell walked away winn the No. 2 singles, taking 6-1, 6-1 decisions over the Tigers' Cliff Trenton.
Crawford and Swartzell teamed up in the No. 1 doubles and defeated Lane and Trenton 6-2, 6-2.
Bill Thompson, who, along with Ransom and Freiburger, is undefeated this year, stopped Frank Luecke 6-4, 6-1 to complete the sweep of all five singles pairings.
Missouri's No. 2 doubles combination of Worthington and Clarkson won the only Tiger match of the day by defeating Ransom and Thompson 2-6, 12-10, 6-1.

D. W. W. Shaw of Wichita fired a 75 second place.
Dr. J. L. Jensen of Colby won the association's trapshoot yesterday at Junction City, taking a shootoff from Dr. C. V. Minnick and Dr. W. A. Smiley, both of Junction City. All three knocked off 48 of 50 targets in the main competition.
Ed Lopat Stops Cleveland For 11th Straight Time
New York (U.P.)—Red-headed Ed Lopat of the Yankees won't even try to figure out what makes him so "doggoned mystifying" to the Cleveland Indians, but confided today after his 11th straight victory over them that "I am beating the law of averages to death."

The Kappa Sigs nosed out the Sig Eps in a hard-fought game ending 8 to 7 to assure the winners of a spot in the playoffs. The Sig Eps rallied strongly in the fifth inning with a five run upsurge, but were unable to overcome the Kappa Sig's initial lead.
He alternated with Bobby Brown for four years. He seemed to have the job to himself this spring when Brown's induction into the army was imminent only to have rookie Gil MacDougall leap out of nowhere and win the job.
Kappa Sig 8. Sig En 7
Steady hurling by Jim Hyatt, the winning pitcher, and fine infield work by the Kappa Sigs was just enough to quell the Sig Ep's powerful hitting attack.
Billy Johnson To Cardinals
New York (U.P.)—The St. Louis Cardinals were certain today that the acquisition of Billy Johnson from the New York Yankees had solved one big problem and hoped the stocky third-baseman might prove the answer to still another that has troubled the team for three years.
The Cardinals did not only acquire a capable third-baseman. Johnson also is a long-range right-handed hitter—something the Cardinals have been searching for since Whitey Kurowski's retirement.
Johnson never hit more than 12 home runs in any season with the Yankees but should find more favorable left field targets in the National league, Teamed with first-baseman Steve Bilko he could give the Cardinals the righthanded balance they need to go with lefthanders Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter.
Cardinal owner Fred Saigh did not announce the amount of cash which changed hands in the deal but it is believed to be well over the $10,000 waiver price. The Yankees had to obtain waivers from all seven other American league clubs in order to deal him to the N.L.-a trick certain to cause considerable eye-brow raising.
The Cardinals completed their end of the deal by sending first-baseman Don Bollwang to the Yankees and the world champions immediately turned over his contract to their Kansas City farm club in the American association. The Redbirds also sent rookie third-baseman Don Richmond to their Rochester farm club in the International league and recalled infielder Nippy Jones.
Johnson—the American league's outstanding rookie in 1943—had a curious history with the Yankees. He was recognized as one of the league's outstanding third-baseman in rival dugouts but never seemed able to prove it to the Yankee management.
"You figure it out, if you can," he said, still sopping with perspiration after his latest conquest, a six-hit, 11 to 4 decision before the season's biggest baseball crowd at Ynkee stadium last night. There was a standup gathering of 66,265 on hand.
Lopat now has beaten the Indians 30 times as against only six defeats in his American league career. The last time they won from him was on June 17, 1949.
"It itse has me baffled why I should have any better luck against Cleveland and any other club," he said.
Lopat's left-handed legerdemain now has given him a mark of six straight victories, tops for the majors this season, and a terrific earned run average of 1.17. And he used to be considered strictly a hot-weather pitcher, a hurler who couldn't loosen up before the warm days.
Lopat received elegant 12-hit support from the Yankees, who went $2^{1/2}$ games in front in the American league race since second place Washington dropped an 8 to 7 11-inning decision to Boston in the only other major league game played.
The Red Sox received top-flight relief pitching from Harry Taylor who blanked Washington for 4% innings before Gil Coan dropped a pop fly by Matt Batts for a two-base error that sent home the winning run in the 11th.
Washington had taken a 6 to 0 lead in the third off left Bill Wight, who was knocked out for the fifth straight time. Boston cashed in on the wildness of starter Julio Moreno, getting three runs in the third on four walks and a single, and two more in the seventh of two walks, an error and Billy Goodman's safe bunt. They tied it up at 7-all in the eighth with doubles by Batts and Dom Dimaggio, the key blows, then won it on Taylor's bear-down relief pitching.
