KU Trackmen Risk Perfect Record At MU
The Missouri Tigers seem destined to end the undefeated outdoor season record of Coach Bill Easton's Kansas track team when the two squads meet at Columbia Saturday. But an abundance of record-breaking performances is not too likely.
Indoors this year, the Tigers stopped K.U. by a 23-point margin and were slated to add the Big Seven championship to their 1940 conference outdoor crown. Then the Jayhawkers pulled a big upset to win the indoor title. But the Tigers are still rated the toughest team in the league and again will be favorites May 19 and 20 in the league running at Lincoln.
Latest victim of the Missourians was Nebraska, loser by 62-1-3 to 68-2-3. K.U. edged the Huskers by a single point earlier in the season.
was Nebraska, i.e. 68
2-3. K.U. edged the Huskers by a single point earlier in the season.
Track fans are awaiting the matches of Missouri ace Bill McGueir against K.U. Capt. Bob Karnes in the mile run and against Jayhawker sophomore flash Herb Semper in the two-mile. Karnes and McGuire are old enemies.
During the indoor season, however, the Tiger never got started after a great year in 1949. But he his shirt shape again, as attests his brilliant 9:16:2 two-mile in a blizzard at the Drake Relays recently. Semper set a Big Seven record at the conference meet in March in the two-mile race which McGuire started but did not finish. The young Jayhawker's best effort to date is 9:21.7.
Records that likely will go are in the half-mile, two-mile, and high jump. Others seem quite secure.
Missouri will be favored in the three dashes, relay high jump, shot put, discus, and broad jump. Kansas has its best chances in the half-mile, hurdles, and javelin. The mile, two-mile, and pole vault rate as toss-ups.
Coach Easton is planning few changes in his usual list of starters. The major one is the move of game little Emil Schutzel from the 100- and 220-yard dashes into the 440-yard field. That leaves Bob Devinney and Jerry Waugh to carry the load in the short sprints.
Softball Nears Playoffs
Favorites came through in women's intramural softball contests played Tuesday in perfect softball weather. Although four more games, excluding play-offs of ties, will remain to be played, today's results will decide division championships.
Homers Feature Early Play
New York, May 10—(U.P.)—Home runs are a dime a dozen in the major leagues this season but the magic number for glamour slammer Ralph Kiner of the Pittsburgh Pirates is "714."
Kiner is hitting them out of the park at a clip that may enable him to eclipse Babe Ruth's 60 in a season. He's not shooting at a season's record, however. He's "competing with the greatest guy of them all—a guy who hit 714 home runs in his career."
"That total is a lot more significant to me than the fact that he hit 60 in a season," he said. "I've still got a long way to go and if eventually I can come close I'll be satisfied."
Kiner lowered the boom Tuesday night on the Brooklyn Dodgers.
He blasted a grand slam homer, and a three-run homer to account for seven of Pittsburgh's runs in their 10 to 5 decision over the Brooks. When he hit the basesloaded homer off Carl Erskine in the seventh it marked the second time in four games and the eighth time in his career that he had turned the trick. He also moved into the league lead in runs-batted-in with 20.
Lefty Johnny Schmitz of the Chicago Cubs was superb, scattering hits and allowing no batter to get to second base which enabled his team to defeat the Giants, 6 to 0 at Chicago. Giant starter Larry Jensen again succumbed to his gopher ball curse. He served up home run pitches to Roy Smallley, Bill Serena, and Wayne Terwilliger.
The Athletics came from behind and scored seven runs in the fifth innning to defeat the Indians, 9 to 8, at Philadelphia.
The Red Sox continued their carnival days at home by bumping off the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 1, for their 12th triumph in 15 home games. Leffy Mel Parnell scored his third victory, getting able support from Bobby Doerr andookie Walt Dropo who smashed home runs. The victory put the Red Sox into a virtual tie for first place.
Little Lloyd Hittie of the Washington Senators hurled a 3 to 2 triumph over the White Sox at Washington. The past year Winnie won five games or the Nats but three were over the White Sox.
- Harmon slid into a first-place tie in division III with a resounding 25 to 4 rout of Gamma Phi Beta. Betty Thomas kept her homer-per-game record.
Kesterson and Hopkins scored their fourth victory against one loss for the co-op.
Alpha Delta Pi rallied in the fourth inning to defeat an aroused Alpha Omicron Pi team 20 to 12 and guarantee themselves number 2 slot in division II. Coppedge and Tessendorf registered the victory.
0018. Tremruth split their season record to take third place in division II when Kanza forfeited.
Pitcher Dick Hack weathered a late inning uprising to hurl Alpha Tau Omega to an 18-10 victory over Phi Delta Theta in an "A" game Tuesday. Hall allowed seven hits and struck out ten Phi Delts.
A booming 24-hit attack by Sigma Chi “A” team was enough to give them a 14-5 victory over Tau Kappa Epsilon陵逊 T. Pittere Odd Williams, who hurled the Sig team to the Hill championship last year, set down the TKE's wath only six hits to register his third win of the season. It was Sigma Chi's third win against one defeat.
