PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, MAY 14, 1951 Missouri Sweeps Doubleheader Here; Jayhawks Play At Manhattan Today By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor Missouri defeated Kansas, 5 to 2 and 14 to 0, in a doubleheader May 12 on the Varsity diamond to sweep all three games played with the Jayhawkers this year. Lefty Bob Loschke, who shutout K.U. earlier this season at Columbia, won the opener while Dick Atkinson hurled the four-hit shutout in the nightcap. Kansas plays Kansas State at Manhattan today and Tuesday. Jack Stonestreet will hurl the opener for the Jayhawkers with Carl Sandefur taking the mound Tuesday. Hub Ulrich's crew swept a two-game series with the K-Staters here May 4 and 5, to 2 and 4 to 1. Missouri proved to have too much all around balance and class for the Jayhawkers as they played heads up ball, committed no errors, and turned in two fast double plays. The Tigers didn't make a single error against Kansas in three games this year. Kansas' ace lifthander, Sandefur, allowed only three hits in losing the opener but walker eight batters—four of which later scored. The loss was Sandefur's second of the year against three conference victories. Missouri beat him, 8 to 0, for his other defeat at Columbia. Missouri moved ahead of Kansas in the Big Seven standings with a 6-3 record compared with K.U.'s 4-5 mark. In 23 innings this year, Kansas was able to score only two runs and 14 hits off the combined hurling of Loschke and Atkinson. Missouri blasted K.U. hurling for 27 runs and 27 hits in the three games. Missouri scored two runs in the first innning of the opener and Kansas promptly tied the score with a pair in their half of the inning. Following this two-run outburst, Missouri's Losechk and Atkinson shutout the Jayhawkers through the next 13 innings. The Tigers got their pair on a The Box Scores MOSURISE (5) AB R H PO A F Patchett, rf 3 0 0 1 0 0 Kurtz, 2b 2 2 0 1 0 0 Hurting, lf 2 1 0 0 1 0 Wrecz, nf 3 1 2 0 2 0 Gellman, c 3 0 5 0 0 0 Heineman, 1 b 2 1 0 12 0 0 Langenback, ss 3 0 0 0 0 0 Langenback, ss 3 0 0 0 0 0 Loschke, p 2 0 0 0 4 0 Totals 23 5 3 21 11 KANSAS (2) AB R H PQ A Kansas (2) 4 1 1 0 Koenig, 2 b 3 1 2 0 Mischick, if 3 0 0 4 1 Hicks, rf 3 0 1 2 0 Youssif, f 3 0 7 0 0 Harris, 3b 3 0 0 3 McConnell, ss 3 0 0 4 0 McConnell, ss 3 1 0 0 0 Sandetr, p 3 0 2 0 2 RBI: Wren, Gellman, Heineman 2, KS; KB: Harting, Wren 3, Heineman, SH; Harting, DP: Hicks to Voss, LOB: Missouri 7, Kansas 6, BB: Sandeur 5, HPB: Sandefur (Heineman), ER: Sandefur 4, Loschke 2, PB: Smith, Winde (3-2), U: Edwards and Michaels, T: 129.

Kansas got its only runs of the day when Charles Bether led off the first inning with a single to left field. Frank Koenig drove him home with a triple to right and scored on a fielder's choice. Missouri added two more runs in the third inning. Bob Harting opened the inning with a walk. After retiring the next two batters, Sandefur walked Bud Heineman who promptly stole second placing Harting and himself in scoring position. Ross Boeger singled both home with a blow to left field. The winners added their final run in the seventh inning on a walk to Kent Kurtz, a sacrifice, a passed ball, and a fvball to left field. In the second game, Missouri nicked Lefty Bill Honan, who was making his first collegiate start, for five runs on three hits, three walks, plus a costly error. Three of the runs were unearned. Missouri sent 10 men to the plate before the side could be retired. The Tigers added another unearned run in the second and four more of the same gift variety in the third inning. With K.U. on the short end of a 10- score, Jack Stonestreet took over in the top of the fourth inning. Stonestreet missed his regular starting mound assignment because of the Western Civilization exam which was given that day. After hurling two innings of scoreless ball, Missouri scored three runs off Stonecrest in the sixth on three singles with the aid of two more Kansas errors. Only one of the runs was earned. Atkinson retired the first six batters he faced. The Jayhawkers threatened in the third as they got a pair of singles, half of their four hit total, but failed to score. Missouri added its final run in the seventh, the Tigers' 11th unearned run of the nightcap and 12th of the day. Jayhawker Stick Work Kansas again threatened Atkinson's shutout in the fifth as Smith singled with one away and stole second and third. The rally died as Atkinson struck out Stonestreet and got Darrell Houk to pop up to short.

Robinson, of course, needs no introduction to either baseball or football fans. He made gridiron history while tearing off huge chunks of yardage for U.C.L.A., and that .405 average he's sporting at the moment isn't exactly a slump. Young Busby, the fleet White Sox rookie, may prove the top pigskin prize of all. He's leading the American league in batting with a .380 Ex-Grid Stars Make A'Hit' On Major League Diamonds New York (U.P.)—All those baseball moguls who still say "phooey on ex-football players" ought to be penalized 15 yards for having their brains illegally in motion. Jensen, one-time All-America fullback at the University of California is one boy who looks like he can do both jobs in style. Currently swaiting a fancy .329, the burly Yankee outfielder has been one of the season's standouts thus far. There is a popular baseball theory which holds that former gridsters can't get out of their own way once they shift to a big league diamond. Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn, Jackie Jensen of the Yankees, Jim Busby of the White Sox, Alvin Dark of the Giants and Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati are five ex-football stars who are now knocking that theory into a cocked hat. "Just because a fellow played football once doesn't mean he'll be handicapped in a baseball uniform," insists Jensen. Dark, the Giants' nimble shortstop who is whacking away at 342, was a slippery-hipped halfback at Louisiana State while Kluszewski, the Reds' muscular, murderous long-ball hitter, once was a star backfield man for the University of Indiana. percentage and those fast starts he learned on the gridiron aren't handicapping him in the outfield. Busy played football for Texas Christian. The majority of baseball scouts are reluctant to take a chance on ex-gridsters because too many of them allegedly develop so-called "football shoulders." This occupational hazard, according to moguls and scouts, interferes with the muscles used in hitting and throwing a baseball. To be sure, the major leagues' top 10 hitters includes several players who never so much as even played touch-tackle. Presumably in that group is Brooklyn's Pee Wee Reese, Pee Wee now is hitting .353 and during his youth he had little time for football. Why? Because he was too busy becoming the marble-shooting king of Louisville, that's why. - FLY CONTINENTAL AIRLINES Yes, the new Spalding DOT* with improved "TRU-TENSION" Winding, combines maximum distance with sweet feel . . .
