Spotlight On Sports
By BOB LEONARD
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
This is all of it. Another year of K.U. athletics is behind us. When Coach J. of V. Sikes' young team opens the 1950 football season against T.C.U. here in September, Jayhawker sports fans can well expect even a greater year in Kansas athletics.
It might be well at this time to look back a few months and review some of the highlights of the spring season to see just how well our Jayhawkers have done.
DO YOU REMEMBER; when Harold England was sent into the Missouri game here to stop Bud Heineman who had scored 17 points for the Tigers in the initial period ...how Gene Petersen paced KU. to a second half win over Nebraska ...the Jayhawkers' 79 to 68 rout of the Kansas State Wildcats in Hoch auditorium after the catnapping of the Aggie wildcat, Touchdown IV ...
Coach Bill Easton's trackmen startling the Big Seven with the indoor title at Kansas City...the crowd in the lobby of the Muehle-coach hotel whooping it up in one of the year's most spirited rallies just before the Bradley game...
Coach Allen's honor of being selected "Basketball's Man of the Year" which brought fame both to the dean of American basketball coaches and to K.U...and the look on the good doctor's face as he was presented a new car by the Lawrence Downtown Quarterback club ...
Colossal Clyde Lovellette's torrid scoring pace over a 25-game route that found him erasing about all existing K.U. scoring records in his first year .he scored 545 points in averaging 21.8 points to make about everyone's all-opponent team as well as many national honors... and to think he still has two more years to burn up the nets.
Coach Easton in the center of Memorial stadium bellowing to his track charges, "Run, run, run"... Don Pierce's husky, grating voice announcing the lineups at the baseball games ...
How Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's Jayhawker baseball team completed a successful season winning 10 and losing eight ... Carl Sandefur's great pitching to win eight games while dropping a single contest . . . how big Sandy won seven Big Seven games to rank as the loop's top hurler, in fact, to rate as one of the finest pitchers to hit the circuit in many seasons...
Yes, you will remember these

things and, perhaps, many more. We have had a great year at Kansas. All of our athletic teams have showed well. Your sports editor has attempted to give you the complete Big Seven picture.
I wish at this time to thank Richard Dilsaver, Ray Soldan, Monn Millikan, Art McIntyre, and especially Bob "Grantland" Nelson, without whose help this job could not have been done. A word of thanks is also due Russel Sehon, scout for the Philadelphia Athletics, who has taught me most of the baseball I now know.
Yes, this is all of it. Have a good summer, think of the University during the "break" and return to Mt. Oread to boost the Jayhawker teams this fall. The prospects for the 1950-51 athletic year are most encouraging and should provide K. U. students with many hours of enjoyment and Jayhawker victories.
Hierophantes was the name of the first K.U. annual. It was published in 1874 by members of the I. C. Sorosis and Beta Theta Pi.
KU Drops Last Game To Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Sooners pushed across two runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to break a 3-all tie and down the Jayhawkers, 8 to 5. Tuesday, in the final game of the year for both teams played on the Varsity diamond.
After winning Monday's game, 8 to 7, on an eighth inning rally, K.U. found it more difficult to solve the late game slants of the Sooners' big righthand ace, Jim Kirk. After the sixth inning, Kirk shut K.U. out allowing only one hit.
Coach Bill Hogan's club finished the season in fourth place splitting even in 16 Big Seven games. For the entire season, Kansas won 10 and lost eight.

fielder Russell Hill, Cavonaugh rounded third and came on in to score K.U.'s final run of the 1950 baseball season.
- Short Orders
Bob Stephenson, Oklahoma shortstop, led off the fifth inning with a 370-foot homer to left-center, to break a 3-all tie and provide the Sooners with a lead they never relinquished. A single by Charles Pugsley and a double by second baseman, Travis Wiginton, gave O. U. a 5 to 3 margin.
In the sixth, two hits and three Kansas errors provided Oklahoma with three more runs to complete the Soodners' scoring. Herman Philipp, K.U.'s ace relief pitcher, entered the game to end the rally by getting left fielder, Phil McKee, to pop up to short.
The Kansas fielding proved costly as the Jawhakers committed seven errors. This faulty support kept K. U. starter, Guy Mabry, in trouble through the early innings. Two of the first three Sooner runs were unearned while Kansas' two runs in the third inning were scored without a base hit.
Kansas picked up its final two runs in the sixth. After Philipp grounded on the ball, Ken Morrow kicked Kirk lost his control and Jim Cavonaugh also walked.
