Hogan's Club Will Meet Sooners Today
Coach Bill Hogan's Jayhawker baseball team opens an important two game series with the Oklahoma Sooners at 3 p.m. today on the Varsity baseball diamond. Kansas, by winning both games from the third place Sooners, would finish in third place with O.U. taking a probable fourth place berth in the final standings. Kansas' ace hurler Carl Sandefur, will oppose Oklahoma's ace, Jack Shirley, in today's game in quest of his seventh conference win of the year
Oklahoma's championship hopes received a real rallt at Columbia over the weekend when the Missouri Tigers all but eliminated the Sooners from the title race. The Tigers won a pair of games, 9 to 8, and 6 to 0, to push the Sooners from first to third place in the standings.
Nebraska won a pair of seven inning games with Colorado, 7 to 4, and 3 to 1, at Lincoln Saturday morning to all but wrap up the Big Seven 1950 baseball championship. The Cornhuskers can win the title outright by taking its remaining two-game series with Kansas State at Manhattan today and Tuesday or by merely splitting the series.
In order for the Sooners to win the title, Nebraska would have to drop two games while the Sooners were winning two contests from Coach Hozan's club.
Missouri could tie for the championship with Nebraska if the Cornhuskers lose two to the Wildcats while K.U. gets at least a split with the Sooners.
Tuesday's game between KU, and the Sooners will find the Jayhawkers' slender righthander, Guy Mabry, hurling against one of conference's top hurriers, Jim Kirk, a 6 foot 3 inch 210-pound righthander, who has a 4-1 conference record.

of seven wins and seven defeats, will attempt to finish above the .500 mark by taking both games with the Sooners. The Jayhawkers, with a 9-7 season record, can finish no worse than .500 for the year even if they should topple twice before Coach Jack Baer's mighty Sooners.
JACK SHIRLEY, eye Oklahoma righthander, will face big Carl Sandefur, the conference's top sophomore hurler, in today's opener. Shirley, a 6 foot 1 inch 190-pound junior, pitched the Sooners to a 6 to 3 win over Oklahoma A. and M., May 17, in his last mound assignment. Shirley beat the 1949 NCAA baseball champions, the Texas Longhorns, 7 to 5, earlier this year at Austin.
Coach Hogan is expected to start the same Kansas lineup today that defeated Kansas State the past week. 3 to 1. The following batting order will be used: Jim Cavonaugh, 2b; Frank Koenig, ss; Floy Temple, 3b; Carl Ellis, if; Walter Hicks, rf; Marry, cf; Lou DeLuna, 1b; Bill Mace or Ken Morrow, c, and Sandefur, p.
Coach Baer's veteran Sooner club, with a season record of 13 wins and seven defeats, has relied heavily on good pitching, better than average defense, and hitting that has been spotty but which has shown improvement as the season progressed.
Sandefur, one of the Big Seven's finest sophomore hurlers in recent years, will receive the acid test of the year today when he faces some of the conference's best hitters. Sandefur has pitched great ball through the last 28 1-3 inning in allowing only 14 hits and only three earned runs.
Kansas, with a team batting average of 238, has shown more extrabase hard hitting in recent games and should give the Sooners plenty of competition in their hitting game.
Oklahoma recently closed its home season by taking a two-games series with Colorado, 14 to 13, and 7 to 2. to hang up a home season record of nine wins in 10 games.
The Sooners have played 10 road games so far this season winning four and dropping six. In Big Seven road games, they have faired poorly winning only one and dropping three contests.
While on an early four-game spring training tour into Texas, Oklahoma accomplished a feat that stands as the highlight of the present season. The Sooners split even in a two-game series with the 1949 N.C.A.A. baseball champions, the Texas Longhorns, at Austin.
Shirley, today's Sooner hurler, pitched Coach Baer's club to a 7 to 5 win over Texas giving up no earned runs to a team that hadn't been beaten on their home diamond in 52 games.
Another highlight on this year's Sooner schedule is the fact that O.U. downed its state rivals, the Oklahoma A. and M. Aggies, in three out of four games. In a game the past week, Shirley beat the Aggies 6 to 3 for his fourth victory over the Cowpokes in the past two years.
The Sooners are expected to use the following batting order with each man's seasonal averages included for the Sooners first 17 games.
JIM KIRK, 6 foot 3 inch 210pounder, will hurl for Oklahoma in Tuesday's game. This big junior righthander is one of the Big Seven's leading pitchers. His conference record is four wins and one defeat.
Ray Morgosh, 3b (236), Travis Wiginton, 2b (238), Bob Stephenson, ss (317), Hauk Jones, 1b (394), Charles Puksgley, cf (303), John Reddell, c (321), Russell Hill, rf (167), and Phil McKee, if (226). Pitchers Shirley and Kirk are hitting 411 and 250 respectively.
The two-game series between K.U. and O.U. will wind up the season for both clubs. Here is the Sooners season record to date:

Jayhawkers Win Big Seven Golf Crown
By a whisker, or to be exact, one stroke, Kansas captured its first conference golf championship in 11 years the past weekend over the Lincoln Hillcrest Country club in Lincoln, Nebr.
By RAY SOLDAN
Just as was the case 11-years ago, it was the Oklahoma Sooners that the Jayhawkers nicked for the crown. Kansas' foursome swept over the 5,096 yard course for a 36-hole total of 604. Oklahoma posted 605, Nebraska 610, Missouri's defending champions 619, Colorado 629, Iowa State 630 and Kansas State 634.
Instead of the strong one-two punch of Dick Ashley and Dave Dennis that Kansas was expected to make or break on, the Jayhawkers won on a well-balanced team attack.
Kansas' five men—only the top four men on a team count in the final scoring—all finished in the top 15 in a field of 35. Besides Rourke, who was fourth with his 149, were Dave Dennis, tied for ninth at 151; Dick Ashley and Bob Dare, tied for 11th with scores of 152; and Howard Logan, in a tie for 15th with a $15^{th}$
The Jayhawkers held a four-stroke lead at the 18-hole, half-way mark. However, they turned in a poor showing on the third nine to fall behind Nebraska and within striking distance of Oklahoma. A par-equalling last nine gave the meet to Kansas.
Sophomore Gene Rourke tallied a five-over-par 149 to lead the Kansans. Rourke was fourth to Joe Gifford of Nebraska for individual honors in the meet. The Nebraskan succeeded Jayhawker Dick Ashley as individual conference champion.

three years as coach. In 1948, Kansas finished fifth. The Jayhawkers were a strong fourth in 1949 and produced the individual conference champ in Dick Ashley. This season they warmed up for the conference
Coach Dick Richards' tennis team beat out Nebraska and Iowa State to finish fifth in the Big Seven tennis meet in Lincoln, Neb. the past weekend. The Jayhawkers were only one-point out of third place.
The powerful Oklahoma beat won the meet with an 18-point total. Colorado, boasting the individual champion in Pete Arendrup, a former junior division Davis cup player, placed second with 11 points. Then came Missouri and Kansas State with six points, the Jayhawkers with five, and Nebraska and Iowa State with one each.
Kansas Team Places Fifth In Big Seven Tennis Meet
Kansas points were won by Bob Swartzell, Charles Crawford, and John Freiburger with first round victories in singles play; Jack Ranson with a first round bye in the singles; and the doubles team of Ranson and Crawford with a first round victory.
Hervy Macferran, playing the No. 1 position for Kansas, was dropped by Oklahoma's Guy Ewton in the opening round, 7-9, 6-3, 6-1. The Jayhawkers' top doubles team—Macferran and Swartzell—also lost a first round match.
