Big Seven Baseball Title In Sight For KU After Double Victory Over Oklahoma
Backing the stout pitching Charley Moffet and Dick Gilman with steady hitting, Kansas jolted Oklahoma 7 to 5 and 6 to 3 at Norman Friday and Saturday, to jump into a wide-open league title fight.
Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's club ran its winning streak in conference games to five in a row and eight wins in the last 11 games. The Jayhawkers will still have to win at least three of their last four games to take the championship. They meet Colorado here Friday and Saturday, and K-State at Manhattan, May 23-24.
The double loss was a terrific blow to Oklahoma's title hopes since the Sooners have completed their league schedule. K. Kirk is practically tied up with Utah, whose clubs having two more wins than defeats, but the Jayhawkers are third in the all-important percentage column.
Charley Moffet was too tough for the Sooners in the opened. He got off to his usual bad start but didn't

give up an earned run after the first inning. K.U. racked up 10 hits off three O.U. pitchers, coming from behind three times and finally sewing it up with a seven inning rally.
Guy Mabry drove in the winning runs in the seventh, slamming a single to right field to score Bed French and Floyd Temple. Mabry, Carl Ellis, and Jim Cavanaugh led the K.U. attack with two singles each.
Dick Gilman, the league's top pitcher, racked up his seventh straight conference win the second game. He struck out six and walked six.
The Jayhawkers used a three-run eighth innings rally led by Carl Ellis to sew it up. Ellis, who led the attack with a double and two singles in five trips, started the eighth with a single run. The Sooners crazy on the base paths.
Lou DeLuna laid down a sacrifice bunt and O.U. pitcher Elton Davis threw too late to second trying to get Ellis. A moment later Davis threw Jim Briley's bunt to third, but Ellis was again too fast and beat the throw, loading the bases.
Paul Courty then elected to throw Guy Mabry's grounder to the plate, but Ellis steamed in to score, beating the throw for the third straight time. DeLuna scored on John Goodson's infield out and Briley scored on shortstop Bob Stephenson's error.
The Jayhawkers scored once in the fifth, sixth, and seventh. Gilman, DeLuna, and Dick Bertuzzi drove
