Herb Semper Wins Two-Mile Run To Pace Kansas At Drake Relays
Only three Big Seven entries won top honors at the Drake Retails held April 27 and 28, but one man, Don Cooper of Nebraska, broke the pole vault record set in 1950 by Oklahoma's Bill Carroll. Cooper's vault of 14 feet 6 inches won him a tie for first place with Illinois' Don Laz.
Herb Semper turned in the best Jayhawk performance of the meet with a 9:17.4 two-mile run victory. The third Big Seven winner was Dick Meissner, Cooper's teammate, who cleared the high jump bar at 6 feet 7 inches.
Other Big Seven winners included Oklahoma, second in the two-mile relay, fourth in the 440-yard relay, second in the high jump by Dick Jones, third in the sprint medley, and second in the broad jump by Jim Smith; Missouri, second in the 480-yard high hurdle shuttle relay, fifth in the four-mile relay, and a tie for third in the high jump by Bob Gorden.
Kansas won seconds in the 120-yard high hurdles on Jack Greenwood's performance, and the distance medley relay. The Jayhawkers also took fifth in the half-mile relay.
Nebraska's Irv Thode won third in the broad jump.
The distance medley relay turned into a duel between Semper, the Kansas workhorse, and Michigan's great miler, Don McEwen. This pair met in the anchor lap with McEwen holding a 6-yard advantage.
Semper slowly closed the gap and led in the last quarter until he faded 25 yards from the tape, McEwen winning by about a foot in the record-smashing time of 10:05.6. Even in second place the Jayhawk fourseason also cracked the mark of 10:06.1 set by Wisconsin in 1938.
The Michigan anchor man was clocked unofficially in 4:12.5 and Coach Bill Easton of Kansas timed Semper in 4:11.7, a mark .9 under the existing Big Seven record, and Semper's best performance to date. Kansas was timed in 10:05.7, which is a new school record.
Cooper and Laz, probably tops among contemporary collegiate writers, hooked up in their heralded duel with many fans expecting both to top the 15-foot mark, something never before witnessed in the same meet.
Although Cooper *never* touched the bar during the entire afternoon, he was unable to attempt the height which he cleared here April 21 at the Kansas Relays. He pulled a muscle high on his left leg during his first approach at the 15-foot
The Jayhawker baseball team split a two game series with Iowa State on April 27 and 28 at Ames, K.U. won the first game 7 to 4 but dropped the second 10 to 9 in 10 innings.
Baseball Nine Splits Two
Carl Sandefur won the first contest which included a homer by K.U. shortstop, Frank Koenig, Sophomore Jack Stonecrest started the second contest but was removed in the 10th for Bill Honan. First baseman George Vox blasted a homer with one on, a double and a single
Kansas meets Missouri at Columbia in a two-game series today and Tuesday. Sandefur and Stonestreet are slated as the probable starters against the Tigers, who have won one and lost three in Big Seven play.
Oklahoma beat M.U. in a double-header at Norman last weekend on 5 to 4 and 9 to 5 counts. The Tigers gained a split in their series with Kansas State.

Altogether, 10 new marks were set during the two-day meet.

Netmen Win, Golfers Lose In Duals With Missouri
The Jayhawker tennis team extended its string to three straight Big Seven wins by defeating Missouri 6-1 on April 27. But the Tigers came back on the same afternoon to win the golf match by a $12_{1/2}$ to $5_{1/2}$ count. Both contests were played in Lawrence.
Coach Glen Tongier's netmen thus extended their undefeated streak to five straight, including non-conference wins over Baker and Washburn and Big Seven victories over Nebraska, K-State and now Missouri
Coach Bain Winey's golfers now have an over-all record of 2-2-1 and a conference mark of 0-2-1. Their non-conference wins include Washburn and Omaha. In conference play they fought K-State to a tie but dropped two other matches to Nebraska and Missouri.
Bob Swartzell, working in the Jayhawker's No. 1 position, had little trouble downing Missouri's Bill Lane on a 6-0, 6-2 count, but Kansas' No. 2 man, Charley Crawford, was pushed to the limit to defeat Cliff Trenton, Missouri, on a 6-4, 10-8 count.
Kansas won all five of the singles matches but split the two doubles contests. Coach Tongier, with the meet already won, sent in reserve units for both doubles games.
CARL SANDEFUR, the leading Big Seven hurler last year with a 7-1 record in conference play, is back in his winning ways. He is again the Jayhawkers' outstanding hurler and is undefeated so far this year.
Jack Ransom, Jayhawker No 3 man, defeated Keith Worthington 6-1, 6-0; John Freiburger, No 4 for Kansas, downed Frank Luecke 6-3, 6-0, and Bill Thompson. No, 5 stopped Pierce Lieberman on a 6-8, 6-0, 6-3 count.
In the doubles matches, Missouri's Lane and Trenton defeated Terry Jaquith and Bob Smith 6-4, 6-3. The Kansas team of Hal Titus and Rich Mercer won over Luecke and Worthington 6-4, 2-6, 8-6.
Bob Dare of Kansas and Bill Scroggin of Missouri tied for medalist honors in the golf meet, each shooting 72's on the par 68 Lawrence country club course.
Scroggin blazed a terrific 32 on the front nine but dropped off considerably to card an average 40 on the back course.
Dare was only slightly more consistent, turning in a 38-34 for his share of the top honors.
The final summary follows:
Sam Larner (M), defeated Gene Rourke (M), 3-0; Bob Dare (M) defeated Jim Patton (M), 3-0; Larner-Patton (M), defeated Dare-Rourke (K), $2\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$; Bill Scroggin (M), defeated Donn Everett (K), 2-1; Lim Clark (M), defeated Jim Houghton (K), 3-0, and Scroggin-Clark (M), defeated Everett-Houghton (K), 2-1.
The two Kansas teams move to Manhattan Tuesday for return matches with the Wildcats. Nebraska will be here Saturday, also for a return engagement.
