UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Jay Drake, former University student, recently accomplished the rare feat in baseball of "hitting for the cycle."
This unusual feat, which compares to the pitchers' no-hit role, occurred in Drake's 13th professional game while catching for the Albany Cardinals in the Class D Georgia-Florida league.

Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's Jayhawers open the most important leg of their baseball season Friday at Manhattan playing the Kansas. State Wildcats. . . After playing Coach Fritz Knorr's club the two-game series at Manhattan this weekend, KU. returns home to play the Wildcats on Wednesday and Thursday, May 17 and 18.
On May 3, Drake blasted a home run, triple, double, and single, in addition to scoring three runs and driving home another four with his long ball hitting. Jay's batting average is just under the .300 circle and he has won the hearts of the fans with his terrific hustle and enthusiasm to make good in organized ball. Too far this season Drake has either batted in or scored a total of 26 runs in 13 games with his 15 hits that included two homers.
Mackenzie Coehler Hogan's club finishes the 1950 season by playing host to the Oklahoma Sooners on Monday and Tuesday, May 22 and 23. This two-game series should give K.U. students a chance to see college ball at its best. . The Sooners have two of the league's top pitchers in a pair of junior righthanders, Jack Shirley and Jim Kirk.
Oklahoma's most recent wins have been 11 to 5 and 12 to 5 victories over the strong Oklahoma A. and M. club. . . We understand several "ivory hunters" are using the same travel schedule as Coach Jack Baer has arranged for his Sooners.
The Jayhawkers and Wildcats have lost several close games, and this weekend's series stacks up as probably one of the most important tests for K.U. thus far .Both teams are capable of playing topflight ball and have played below expectation in several contests.
Kansas State is expected to send two of the Big Seven's top sophomore hurlers, Perk Reitemeier and Jim Iverson, out to silence the Jayhawker bats. . . Kansas' ace sophomore, big Carl Sandefur, will hurt for K.U. Saturday and is expected to face either Reitemeier or Iverson.

Phillies Top National League
New York, May 11—(U.P.) The Brooklyn Dodgers, who started to make a joke of the National League race, collapsed into second place today under the weight of bad pitching.
Ken Raffensberger, a 32-year-old southpaw the Dodgers would like very much to own, put them there. He held them to three measly singles last night in a 4 to 0 victory for the Cincinnati Reds.
for the Cleveland That put the idle Philadelphia Phillies on top by a half game and enabled the St. Louis Cardinals, who beat the Giants, 5 to 1, to tie Brooklyn for second.
If the Dodgers want to buy Rafflesenberger now, they will have to pay through the nose. He never looked better in beating them. Preacher Roe matched him for five scoreless frames, then gave up two runs on
doubles by Grady Hatton, Bob Usher, and Virgil Stallcup. Reliefer Barney yielded two more in the eighth, setting 'em up himself when he failed to touch first base on a grounder fielded by Gil Hodges.
The scrappy Phillies had their game with the Pittsburgh Pirates trained out.
Lefthander Max Lanier pitched the Cards into the second-place tie by holding the Giants to seven scattered hits. He gave up a third inning run on doubles by Ed Stanky and Whitey Lockman, but the Cards came right back with three runs and never were headed. The fiery Stanky, fined for a run-in on Tuesday, was ejected from his second straight game.
played in the majors, the Cubs got six-hit pitching from Doyle Lade and Paul Minner and beat the Boston Braves, 6 to 3. Sid Gordon croused his sixth home for Boston with one on. But the Braves committed four errors and every one of them figured in the scoring.
night game.
At Chicago, in the only day game.
The Athletics in their night game at Philadelphia gave up three unearned runs with two out in the ninth inning and lost to the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 4. With two down, Lou Boudreau reached reliever Bob Hooper for a single. Jim Hegan also singled and pinch-runner Bob Avila raced for home when Sam Chapla bobbled the ball. Chapman's throw to the plate was in time but Mike Guerra dropped it.
KU Host To K-State Golf, Tennis Teams
The Big Seven conference meet is only a little more than a week away—Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20—but the K.U. golf and tennis teams are not looking ahead that far.
The K-Staters smashed Wichita 7 to 0 and 6 to 0, Iowa State 7 to 0, and Nebraska 6 to 1. Missouri, a team that has beaten Kansas twice, downed the Wildcats 6 to 1, and Washburn, C.J.C. champion and loser only to Kansas, edged them 4 to 3.
Coach Dick Richard's net team meets a formidable opponent Friday, in the Wildcats. The sophomore-led Wildcats ran up four straight victories before losing to Missouri and Washburn the past week.
Instead, they are concentrating on dual matches--home-and-home engagements with Kansas State, and a golf date here with Missouri.
The Kansas State golf and tennis teams will be in Lawrence Friday, and then Jaybawkers will return the visit on Tuesday, May 16. Coach Bill Winey's golfers will cross nibbles with the defending champion Missouri Tigers on Thursday, May 18. The latter is a reschedule of a rained out match.
only to Kansas. A pair of Winfield sophomores, Roger Coad and Chris Williams, have been setting the pace for Kansas State this season. Coad has won five of six singles matches from his No. 1 position. His only loss was to Dick Mechem, Washburn's switch hitting ace. Coad defeated Missouri's captain, Bill Miller, for the Wildcat's only point in their match with the Tigers.
Tigers.
Williams. No. 2 man for the Wildcats, has also won five of six singles matches. For the Jaghawkers maintain the smooth-working Aggie pair will probably be Eob Swartzell, winner in five of seven matches, and Harvey Macferran, winner in two of six.
Iowa State, Nebraska, and Wichita Losses were to Nebraska, Wichita and Missouri.
Dick Atkinson, K-State's No. 1 man has been shooting consistent golf all year and should give Kansas' veteran twosome of Dick Ashley and Dave Dennis a battle for medalist honors. Other Kansas State golfers are Bob Funk, Bob Batt, and Bill Mohoney.
Kansas should be in better shape for the Wildcats than they were Tuesday against Nebraska. Ashley, KU's No. 1 man, who has missed the last two road trips, will be in the lineup against Kansas State.
They got to Lincoln just a few hours before match time and went onto the links with almost no sleep.
The Jayhawker golf team, sporting a 3-2 record after close losses to Missouri and Nebraska the past week, meets an up-and-down Kansas State team in Friday's match at the Lawrence Country club. The Wildcats have broken even in six dual matches. They hold victories over
Completing the Kansas State team are Jim Neumann, a three letter winner, sophomore Don Upson, and letterman Ken Skelton. Dick Nichols and Dave McFarland have seen some action for the Wildcats and may get into the lineup against Kansas.
