Kansas Meets Oklahoma Arkansas In Road Games
Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's improved Kansas baseball club runs into its toughest road trip of the season starting tomorrow in its drive to finish in the first division or higher. *
The Jayhawkers meet league-leading Oklahoma at Norman, tomorrow and Saturday before facing the Arkansas Razorbacks of the fast Southwest
Kansas has backed the pitching of Dick Gilman with improved fielding and hitting, and as a result has won six of its last nine games to move from last place into fourth only a half game from second place
attances at Fayetteville, Monday and Tuesday May 16 and 17. The club will start back for Lawrence as soon as possible after the second contest.
Charles Moffett, who allowed Missouri one run in 12 innings last week as KU. Won a 2 to 1 14-inning marathon, will probably start tomorrow with Gilman going after his seventh straight Saturday.
The Jayhawkers must get at least a split of the series to stay in the winning for second place. Oklahoma, playing its final two league games, could almost up the title by winning both games. K.U. still has a mathematical chance of winning the title, but a sweep of the O.U. series and at least three victories in the last four games make up a tough set of requirements.
Coach Jack Baer's Oklahoma Sconers, perennial title contenders slipped to sixth place last year but have improved more than any other conference club, except possibly Kansas. The installation of smoothfielding, hard-hitting Bob Stephenson at shortstop and the development of sophomore pitcher Jack Shirley as a third starter to go with veterans Elton Davis and Danny Burrell, are the main reasons.
Colorado still has a good chance for first place, but the Buffaloos play their last eight games in 15 days, six of them on the road. K.U. meets Colorado here Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, before closing the season at Kansas State, Monday and Tuesday, May 23 and 24.
a Shirley pitched a seven-hit, 9 to 2 victory over mighty Oklahoma A. and M. at Normal Tuesday, ending A. and M.'s 17-game winning streak. Stephenson, who hit .480 in O.U.'s first six league games, blasted four straight hits against the Aggies. The Sooners are double-tough in their home park, where they have lost only one league game all season.
The following 17 players left at 8 am, today for Norman: Lou DeLuna, Jim Cavanaugh, Jim Briley, Carl Ellis, Floyd Temple, Dick Bertuzzi, Bed French, Guy Mabry, Ken Morrow, John Goodson, Dick Gilman, Charles Moffett, Loren Hepler, Herb Weidensau, Ralph Freed, Carl Ebel, and Darell Norris.
K-State Loses Track Dual To NU
The Nebraska Cornhuskers rumped over Kansas State $73_{1/2}$ to $57_{1/2}$ Wednesday in a Big Seven conference dual track meet at Manhattan, although both teams got the same number of first places.
Records of past K-State-Nebraska dual meets were not available but the coaches are sure the Wildcats lowered three marks. Slender Rodney McClay was the K-State stand-out. He is believed to have set new marks in the 100-yard dash and 220-yard low hurdles. He ran the century event in 9.7 and zoomed over the timbers in 23.6.
If the two coaches are right Earl Elliott, K-State, also established a new mark in the high hurdles in which he was clocked in 14.5 seconds.
McClay won high-point honors in the meet, piling up 14 on two firsts and a first-place tie. Big Rollin Prather, Wildcat football star, again scored a double victory in his specialties, the shot put and discus.
Pebbles with crude markings on them are the first known gambling devices, used by the men near the time of the stone age, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Noble Impulse In Preakness
In Baltimore the railbirds were talking today about a bay named Noble Impulse in connection with the running of the 73rd Preakness stakes Saturday.
Noble Impulse did not run in the Derby last weekend but showed his speed Monday by winning the Survivor stakes at Pimlico in track record time. He zipped the mile and one-sixteenth in 1:42 flat under 119 pounds.
The Preakness is one-eighth of a mile longer and all horses will carry 126 pounds. Post time is 2:15 C.S.T.
With Noble Impulse the Preakness has two horses who believe in starting fast and running ahead of the pack. Capot, second in the Derby, will be with Noble Impulse to set the pace.
It remains to be seen whether the upset victor in the Derby can catch the two speedsters. Ponder beat out Capot in the last 100 yards in the Kentucky affair but the Preakness is one-sixteenth of a mile shorter than the Louisville track and Ponder may not be able to catch them in that distance.
Noble Impulse is owned by Crispin Oglebay of Cleveland, a director of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. J. P. "Doc" Jones, the trainer, does not believe in wasting words.
