UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIVE
By BOB LEONARD
In Friday's Kansan, Carl Ellis, Jayhawker leftfielder, voiced his disgust with the attitude of the spectators at the home baseball games. Ellis said: "When we play on our own pasture, students yell for us only when we are ahead and razz us when we are behind."
This is certainly not a fitting tribute to Coach Hogan and his team who have worked so hard this year. The players have been in there fighting the opposition every game. They stayed right with the game at Ames in snow, sleet, and 35-degree temperatures to hand the Cyclones a 9 to 7 setback.
And yet, when this team plays at home, they get a good razzing from their own schoolmates. It is true that professional baseball teams get razzed from the spectators. But these teams are not part of an institution—they play for money and make their living on the diamond. The K.U. baseball team plays for the good of the school and because they like the game—and, remember, there is no "glory" in baseball.
A scout for the Philadelphia Athletics who recently returned from Oklahoma reported that there was no display of bad feeling at the baseball contests played at Norman. "When the Sooners were behind, the spectators either said nothing or left the game," the scout said.
K. U. has six home games left—the first one May 8 against Iowa State. University students will likely attend these games. However, unless you want to go down to the diamond and cheer for the team, win or lose, you better stay home. It would be much better not to have a spectator show up for the remaining contests than to receive letters from the players themselves complaining about poor sportsmanship behind the backstop. K.U. is the Big Seven Champion in the baseball field. Let this razzing of champions stop. Why not turn out for the remaining games and back the team?
Two of Coach Bill Easton's best sophomore track products are hoping their luck will change. At least they want no more of the kind they had at the Drake Relays.
Semper was victim of a threeman jostle when the baton was knocked from his grasp just as he was taking over the lead on his leg of the two-mile relay. In the mixup the baton was knocked from his hand.
Dewinney was leading the field in the 220-yard low hurdle finals coming up to the fifth barrier. Then he hit the hurdle and went rolling into the muddy track. It was his second bad fall within five days. On Tuesday of the past week he humbled after a practice race and came up with injuries that are causing Easton some concern.
Bengals Edge K.U.
4 To 3 At Columbia
The Missouri Tigers broke up a 1-all game in the sixth inning by scoring three runs on three hits to down the Jayhawkers, 4 to 3, in a Big Seven game played Monday at Columbia.
Missouri took a 1 to 0 lead in the second when Bill Redden got on by an error and scored on Ross Boerger's single. K.U. came back to tie the score in the fourth on doubles by Flovd Temple and Carl Ellis.
Mabry, who pitched good ball until the sixth, ran into trouble on an error, a passed pall, a sacrifice, a walk, and three singles to allow the Tigers to take a 4 to 1 lead and the ball game.
A triple by Mabry and Lou DeLuna's long fly gave Kansas a run in the seventh. The Jayhawkers threatened in the ninth as Mabry single scored twice with Kansas' help in feefly Bob Smith, who beat KU, here earlier, 9 to 2, borne down to cut the rally short to give the Bengals the one-run victory.
Score by innings: R. H. E. Kansas ... 000 100 101—3 C 3 Missouri ... 010 003 00x—4 7 I Batteries: Mabbry (lost), Philip (6), and Mace; Smith and Alexander.

Tennis, Golf Teams Blank Ichs
The Washburn Ichabods returned to Topeka Monday with nothing but a pair of goose eggs to show for their efforts against the K.U. golf and tennis teams. Coach Dick Richards' tennis team blanked the Ichs, 7 to 0, and Bill Winey's golfers stroked out an 18 to 0 win.
The win by the tennis team avenged an earlier set-back and snapped a Washburn winning streak in dual matches at 15. It was the first loss in two years for Washburn's defending C.I.C. champions. They hold wins over three Big Seven teams this season. The Ichabods edged Kansas, 4 to 3, in Topeka the past week.
K. U. golfers registered their third straight victory of the season in whitewashing Washburn. The Jayhawkers downed Washburn, $13\frac{1}{2}$ to $41\frac{1}{2}$, earlier in the year, and trounced Nebraska by an identical score in their other victories.
Coaches Richards and Winey will take their teams to Columbia Wednesday for matches with the Missouri Tigers. Missouri topped Kansas, 5 to 2, in a tennis match here the past week. It will be the first meeting of the season between the Kansas golfers and Missouri's defending champions. An earlier match scheduled to be played in Lawrence was postponed to a later date because of heavy rains.

Bob Swartzell and Charles Crawford, Kansas' No. 2 and No. 3 men, both ran their winning streaks in singles play to four straight by sweeping their matches in straight sets.

ran in their first meeting. Mecham was the number one ranking singles player in the Missouri Valley area the past year.
KU Conference termed Success
Instruction in various types of games suitable for summer recreation and music useful in singing games were given in the afternoon by Miss Joie Stapleton, associate professor of physical education, Professor Shenk, and Elin Jorgenson, associate professor of music education.
About 25 persons from several towns in Kansas attended the third annual Recreation Leadership conference Monday in Robinson gym.
Jack Ranson, playing the No. 4 spot for the Jayhawkers, brought his season's singles mark to two wins and two losses with Monday's victory, Ranson missed one of Kansas' matches. John Freiburger has played in three matches for the Jayhawkers, winning two and losing one.
In his luncheon address W. D. Wolfe, superintendent of the Lawence public schools, discussed the importance of recreation in the community.
Three K.U. players tied for medalist honors in Monday's golf match. Dick Ashley, Dennis, and Bob Dare all carded 18-hole totals 73. Kansas' fourth man was Cal Markwell who turned in a score of 76, which was the same as made by the leading Washburn man.
"We had fairly good attendance, the best so far," reported chairman Shenk, "and I think the whole conference was a definite success."
The morning schedule was filled with talks and discussions concerning the organization of a summer recreation program, including securing community support, and the making of records and reports for future reference. Reginaid Stani, assistant professor of physical education, Hobb director of the Lawrence Recreation commission; and Mrs. Frank Stockton, secretary of the commission, presided at the sessions.
Putting was hampered by slick, fast greens which kept scores well above the Lawrence Country club
course par of 68. The team average for its three matches to date is a fraction above 74.
Macferran defeated Mecham, 6-4,
4-6, 6-2.

Pitching continued to make a great difference in winning and losing ball games in women's intramural softball contests Monday. Two games were played out but Gamma Phi Beta had to forfeit to Miller for its third loss.
Going into the fourth with a 10 to 1 defeat, Pi Beta Phi suddenly handcuffed Watkins batters and came out of the game leading 29 to 12. They slammed out a 24-run rally in a fourth innning home-stretch drive to register their second victory to Watkins' third defeat.

Baker and Stodder are credited with the victory leaving Harris and Grove to accept the loss for Watkins.
Kappa Alpha Theta blanked Alpha Chi Omega 22 to 0 and knocked out two home runs to add to "their day." The winning pitcher allowed few hits and struck out most of the batters, catching some infield pop-ups herself.
Batteries were McCune and Gage for the winners and Fitzpatrick and Perkins pitching and Horalick catching for the losers.
There are over 100 vocational or hobby skills in the Boy Scouts' Merit Badges field.
