Kansas Baseball Team Splits First Two Games
By BOB NELSON
Coach Bill Hogan's Kansas Jayhawkers, defending Big Seven baseball champions, opened their 1950 baseball season during Easter vacation by splitting even in games with Rockhurst and Colorado. Kansas lost its conference opener, 4 to 3, to Colorado at Boulder, April 14, after winning the season opener 10 to 2 with Rockhurst here April 12. A second game scheduled at Colorado was rained out.
Colorado 4, Kansas 3
Guy Mabry, Kansas righthander, and Colorado's veteran Bob Manire, hooked up in a pitchers' duel through the first seven innings.
With Kansas leading 3 to 2 going into the last of the eighth, pinch hitter Harry Narciseian walked. After stealing second base, he advanced to third and left fielder Hugh Graham reached first on an error. Graham took second on an attempted pick-off play to place both runners in scoring position. Second baseman Dick Cowden followed with a single driving home Narciseian and Graham with the game's tieing and winning runs.
Herman Philipp, K.U. sophomore righthander, replaced Mabry to retire the side without further scoring. He entered the game with one away and two men on base.
The Jayhawkers scored in the 4th as shortstop Frank Koenig walked and advanced to second on Floyd Temple's sacrifice hit. After reaching third on a passed ball, Koenig tagged-up to score on Carl Ellis' long fly to leftfield.
In the last of the fourth, Colorado knotted the score. A walk, a sacrifice hit, and a line single to left-field by Ley gave Colorado a 2 to 1 margin in the fifth.
Manire, with the aid of good fielding, had a no-hitter going into the eighth inning. Walter Hicks, Kansas leftfielder, singled for the first hit off Manire to start the inning. George Voss moved Hicks to second with a sacrifice. Magry's double scored Hicks to knot the score at 2-all. Jim Cavonaugh promptly singled home Magry to give the Jawhackers a one run margin.
Mabry, in making his first start of the season, allowed the Buffs only five scattered hits, all singles, but issued four costly walks. Three of these wheels turned into runs. Mabry struck out three while Manire whiffed four in his winning role. All 3 Kansas hits came in the eighth in
It was following this two-run rally that the Buffs scored their two runs to win the Big Seven opener for both clubs.

Colorado, fourth place Big Seven club in 1949, looked in near mid-season form as they played errolless ball to win their fifth game of the year against three defeats. The Buffaloes took a nine-day spring training trip to Arizona where they played three games with a strong University of Arizona club and a game with Arizona State.
Upon arrival home Sunday, Coach Hogan said, "We hit the ball hard, but Colorado gathered it in no matter where it went. They played great defensive ball. Ellis hit two long balls that traveled about 350 feet, but were just long fly balls. I was well pleased with the team's play."
Kansas scored eight runs in the first three innings off Rockhurst's starting pitcher, Jim Quinlan, to win the 1950 K.U. home opener, 10 to 2, April 12. The game was played before a small crowd in 40 degree weather.
Kansas 10, Rockhurst 2
The Jayhawkers' big sophomore righthander, Carl Sandefur, started his first college game and pitched the first five innings. He was nicked for both runs and nine scattered hits, but he left eight Rockhurst runners stranded on the base paths. Herman Philipp co-pitched effective three-hit shut-out ball the final four innings.
Quinlan's wildness put the Hawks in trouble from the start. Four hits, three walks, four errors, four wild pitches, a passed ball, and a hit batter provided Kansas with the eight runs.
Of the 16 players Coach Hogan sent into the game, only Jim Sunye, third baseman, could gather more than one hit. He got two singles, while Darrell Houk, right fielder, doubled for Kansas' only extra base hit.
Kansas played good defensive ball making but one error. Rockhurst made seven costly errors to help keep its pitchers in trouble throughout the contest.
Kansas will play Rockhurst a return game at Kansas City Wednesday in the only non-conference game left on the Jayhawker schedule. Sandefur is scheduled to start for Kansas and will probably be opposed by Quinlan, Rockhurst's best hurler,

Follow The Wild Goose
San Diego, Calif.—(U.P.)The cry of the wild goose sounded over San Diego when two youths climbed over the zoo fence and ran off with a Canadian honkener. Frank Bonnet, special zoo officer, said the boys escaped in a car. He said the goose was very much alive and putting up a racket that could be heard for nearly a mile.
