FRIDAY. APRIL 21.1950
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
A SEVEN
KU-MU Baseball Tilt Is Monday
The Jayhawkers and the Missouri Tigers, each looking for their first Big Seven win, will play at 3 p.m. Monday on the home diamond. These teams will meet again Tuesday afternoon.
Kansas will face some of the conference's best pitching as veterans Roger Englert and Bob Smith slender lefthander, and sophomore Floyd Eberhard have looked impressive in recent pitching roles and are rested and ready for mound duty.
In two departments, the Jayhawkers and Tigers have been alike in their early season games. Both teams have shown weak hitting with few extra base blows and long ball hitting.
The Jayhawkers' big righthander Carl Sandefur, 6-foot-3-inch 210-pound sophomore, will be the probable starting pitcher on Monday, Coach Bill Hogan announced today. Guy Mabry, who looked impressive in Kansas' 4 to 3 loss to Colorado in the conference opener, will hurl for Kansas in the second game.
Missouri, sixth place club in the 1949 conference race, has hit .231 in winning one of seven games this spring. In losing six straight games, the Tigers collected only four extra-base hits, all doubles.
Coach John "HI" Simmons' club beat Washington university of St. Louis, 8 to 5, in their last outing. Except for an eight-error conference opener against Nebraska last week-end, the Tigers have played good defensive ball making only 17 errors in seven games.
Kansas, except for some lax play in the 11 to 10 win over Rockhurst Wednesday, has played excellent ball in the field. Kansas, in downing Rockhurst, 10 to 2, in the season opener, made only one error and two in the 4 to 3 loss to Colorado.
Like Missouri, Kansas has shown a weakness at the plate, and has been out-hit in each game. They batted a weak .194 in their first two games and did little better in downing Rockhurst.
While Kansas' outdoor drills were hampered by adverse weather conditions, Missouri was on a fourgame spring training trip through the south. The Tigers should be in better condition than Kansas, especially the pitching staff.

Kansas and Missouri have nine lettermen returning but both are rebuilding and each club has four lettermen, listed as regulars.
Coach Simmons is expected to start his ace righthander, Englert, in Monday's game and use his only
lefthander, Smith, or rookie Eberhard in Tuesday's game.
Englert, (0-1), has been the Tigers' mainstay for the past three years. In his only conference role, this cagey curveballer pitched 62-3 innings of relief against Nebraska giving up five hits and two runs.
Here is Missouri's probable bating order with averages in parenthesis:
Lefty Smith (0-2), junior letterman, lost a 3 to 1 game to Nebraska in 10 innings in his only conference start. He struck out 11 and walked six.
Eberhard (1-2), slender sophmore, has been the Tigers' most pleasant surprise this spring with some excellent pitching. He lost a five-hitter to Texas Christian U., 3 to 2

Coach Disk Richard's K.U. tennis team bowed to the strong Oklahoma Sooners Thursday on the wind-swept courts in front of Memorial stadium. The defending Big Seven champion Sooners made a clean-sweep for a 7 to 0 decision.
The Jayhawkers, making their first start of the season, played creditably despite the one-sided score. Oklahoma had played 12 matches previous to Friday, winning 10, losing one, and tieing one. The win over the Jayhawkers was the Sooners' 15th in a row over Big Seven opposition.
opposition.
Even Uck was against the Kansans, or they would not have been born. Hervey Macferran and Bob Swartzell were leading 5-4 in the third set of the number one doubles match, needing just a point to win. Then an Oklahoma shot hit the top of the net, rolled along the edge for several inches, and finally dropped on the Kansas side. This knotted the score and the Sooners went on to win. Maeferran and Swartzell were playing together for the first time.
Results of the matches are as follows:
Singles
Guy Ewton defeated Macferran,
6-2, 6-2
Charles Cunningham defeated
Swartzell, 6-4, 6-0.
Abe Ross defeated Crawford,
6-3, 6-4.
Glen Land defeated Jack
Ranson, 6-3, 6-3.
Dick Land defeated Thompson,

Doubles
Ewton and Cunningham defeated Macferran and Swartzell, 6-8, 4-6, 5-7.

The world's top post office is at Cerro de Pasco, Peru, in South America. It is at an altitude of 14,385 feet. Still higher settlements are reported in Tibet at well above 15,000 feet, but this Asiatic country does not belong to the International union.
Nebraska Here Saturday For Golf, Tennis Meet
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will send their golf and tennis teams against the Jayhawkers in matches to be played here Saturday. It will be the first meet of the season for Coach Bill Winey's K.U. golfers. The tennis team will be making its second start.
Coach Dick Richard's net squat will meet the Huskers at 9:30 a.m. on the asphalt courts east of the stadium. The golf match will be at the Lawrence Country club course, beginning at 1 p.m.
Dick Ashley, defending conference champion, heads the Kansas fourman golf team. Dave Dennis, the only other returning letterman, Gene Rourke, and Bob Dare are the other men who will tee-off against Nebraska. The Jayhawkers lost a dual match to the Nebraskans the past season, 7 to 11; however, they finished a notch ahead of the Cornhuskers at the conference meet in Lincoln.
The Huskers made their first start of the season Tuesday, a successful one by downing Kansas State, 10 to 8 at Lincoln. Nebraska fielded an all sophomore foursome against the Wildcats, and probably will send the same men into the Kansas meet. The sophomores are Al Blessing, Douglas Dale, Joe Gifford, and Dick Spangler. Steve Flansburg, the only letterman on the Nebraska squad, may be used against Kansas.
The Jayhawker tennis team, which lost its first match of the season to Oklahoma Thursday, will be out to even its season record. Nebraska, boasting only one letterman, lost to Kansas State, 6 to 1, in its opening conference net meet on Tuesday.
Jamie Currin, the lone Nebraska letter winner, will play the No. 1 position against Hervey Macferran. Other Kansans' in the order of their positions will be Bob Swartzell, Charles Crawford, Jack Ranson, and Bill Thompson. They will be paired off against Andy Bunten, Jerry Magge, Bob Radlin, and Frank Redman. Kansas downed the Huskers, 5 to 2, in a dual match the past season, but was edged for fourth place by Nebraska in the conference meet.

Eight-Year Chase Ends
Miami, Fla.—(U.F.)—The poor greyhounds, who have chased a rabbit around West Flagler track for eight fultile years, caught up with it Tuesday—and won a hollow victory at best.
GIFTS
The rabbit was artificial. Flustered track officials declared "no race" and refunded all pari-mutuel bets.
