Jayhawk Nine Meets Wildcats Today, Saturday
The Jayhawker baseball team invades Manhattan this afternoon to play the Kansas State Wildcats in the opener of a two-game series at Griffith field. The second game will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday. Today's game is the first of four contests between the Jayhawkers and Wildcats to be played in the next week. These two clubs play here Wednesday and Thursday, May 17 and 18.
A win for Coach Bill Hogan's team today would push the Jayhawkers above the .500 mark in Big Seven play as their record now stands at five wins and five defeats. By sweeping the series, K.U. would move into a fourth pace tie with the idle Missouri Tigers.
Coach Hogan is expected to send Guy Mabry (1-3) or sophomore righthander, Herman Philipp (1-0), to the mound in today's game. Big Carl Sandefur (5-1), sophomore righthand fast-baller, will pitch for Kansas in Saturday's game.
JIM IVERSON
Sandefur, who pitched a 3-hitter against Iowa State Tuesday, is one of the conference's top hurlers. In league play, he has won four games and lost one. His lone setback was a 4 to 3 loss to the league leading Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Kansas State is expected to start their two ace sophomore righthanders, Jim Iverson, and Perk Reitemeier, against the Jayhawkers in the weekend series. Saturday's game will match two of the league's top sophomores, Sandefur for K.U., and either Iverson or Reitemeier for Kansas State.
Iverson pitched a 3-hitter against the Oklahoma Sooners as the Wildcats recently split a series with O.U., 5 to 2, and 5 to 7.
Reitemeier, a 6 foot 170-pounder, is the Wildcats' No. 1 choice as the tough-luck pitcher of 1950. He has won one and lost three in Big Seven play, but it took Oklahoma 10 innings to down him, 7 to 5. He also lost a 3-hitter to Missouri, 3 to 1, the past weekend, and a 6 to 3 game to Nebraska earlier in the season.
Kansas, with a team batting average of .233, has shown increased power at the plate in recent games. The Jayhawkers collected a total of 21 hits in sweeping the two-game home series with Iowa State, Monday and Tuesday, 7 to 6, and 7 to 2.
Included in the batting against the Cyclones, were three homers and three doubles. Carl Ellis leftfender, and Lou DeLuna, first baseman, each pounded out a four-bagger and a double to lead the long-ball hitting
In losing five Big Seven games, Kansas dropped three contests by slim 4 to 3 margins. The league leading Nebraska Cornhuskers downed the Jayhawkers 7 to 2 and Missouri defeated K.U. 9 to 2 for the other setback.
Kansas State's season record shows five wins and seven setbacks. In Big Seven play, the Wildcats have won three and lost five to hold down the sixth spot in the conference standings. Coach Fritz Knorr's team has had its ups and downs this year winning some of the toughest games and dropping others.
The Wildcats split even in twogame series with the conference's leaders, Nebraska and Oklahoma. They defeated Nebraska, 7 to 6, and downed Oklahma, 5 to 2, to pick up two of their three wins.
In 1949, Kansas split even in four games with Kansas State. At Manhattan, K.U. won 11 to 0 and lost 2 to 0, while winning 2 to 1 and losing 8 to 3 at home.

Through early season games, both Kansas State and Kansas have suffered from lack of hitting, especially with men on base. One of the Wildcat's biggest disappointments has been the weak hitting of outfielder, Dick Johnson. He is hitting a mild 217 and his long-ball hitting has also been below par this spring.
Coach Knorr is expected to start this probable Kansas State batting order with averages:
Tim Scannell, 2b .341
Dale Carr, fr .267
Hank Specht, ss .286
Dick Hilts, lf .282
Bob Bremner, 3b .318
Dick Johnson, cf .217

A 15-man traveling squad accompanied by Coach Hogan left here at 9:30 this morning by chartered bus for Manhattan. The team will stay at the Gillette hotel tonight and return to Lawrence following Saturday's game. Bob Nelson and Bob Leonard will cover the games for the Daily Kansan.
Before boarding the bus this morning, Coach Hogan indicated he would start the same line-up that defeated Iowa State here on Monday and Tuesday.
The following players are making the trip: Pitchers: Sandefur, Philipp, Mabry, and Curtis Harris. Infielders: DeLuna, Jim Cavonaugh, Frank Koenig, Floyd Temple, and George Voss. Outfielders: Ellis, Walter Hicks, Henry Lamping and Arnold Stricker. Catchers: Ken Morrow and Bill Mace.
Hornet Pitcher
Hurls No-Hitter
Emporia, Kan., May 12—(U.P.)—Fred Kipp hurled a no-hit, 2 to 0 victory for Emporia State Thursday night as the Hornets ended their season against Washburn.
The triumph was the 12th in 16 contests and was made possible by Dick Kuhn's home run in the last of the seventh, breaking a scoreless deadlock.
Chick Gordon hurled three-hit ball for Washburn and gave up the winners' final run in the eighth on a walk, an error and a wild pitch.

DAVE BREMNER
KANSAS STATE'S INFIELD for today's game at Manhattan against the Jayhawkers is expected to contain Keith Thayer, catcher; Bob Bremner, third baseman; Hank Specht, shortstop; Tim Scannell, second baseman, and Dave Bremner, first baseman. The Wildcats' inner defense has been good this year with veterans manning all but one position. The newcomer is sophomore Scannell, one of the Big Seven's best second basemen.
Besides being one of the best defensive infielders, Scannell is leading the Kansas State hitting with a .341 average in 12 games. Thayer, senior backstop, has split most of the catching with another senior, Clifford Schumacher. Dave Bremner, first baseman and brother of third baseman Bob Bremner, is one of two players on the Wildcat squad that has lettered three years. Bob is a junior who hails from Orleans, Mass. The shortstop, Specht, is a converted third baseman that adds strength through the middle of the Wildcats' infield.
