Buffs Win Relay To Top Kansas In Dual Meet
Colorado's triumph in the mile relay gave the Buffs a close 69 to 62 victory in a dual track meet with Kansas May 7. The relay was the last event on the agenda and the outcome of the meet was decided when the Buffs raced home ahead.
Kansas was again strong in the distance runs, winning the 880, mille, and two-mile races. Jack Greenwood won both hurling races for Kansas. Colorado won eight of the 15 events and swept the 100 and 220-yard pitches. Don Campbell, fifth in Olympic trials last year, won the century breezing in 10.4 seconds, and took another first in the 220.
It was the second loss in three meets for the Jayhawkers. They lost to Nebraska and won over Kansas State in previous contests. Saturday Kansas takes on Oklahoma in Memorial stadium.

Tigers Wallop KU 7 To O In Tennis
The University of Kansas tennis team was walloped 7 to 0 Saturday by the University of Missouri on the Kansas courts.
The defeat was not, however, as severe as the score might indicate. Every match was close and most of them went three sets.
In the number one singles battle Hervey Macferran lost a long watch to Bill Miller, Missouri ace and one of Kansas City's best, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. Jack Ransen, the Jayhawker's number two man, also lost a close one to Boyce Meyer by scores of 6-4. 10-8. The other three K.U. singles men, Jim Burdett, Lynn Greeley, and Charlie Carson, were also victims of the Tigers. They all had close matches, but none managed to come on top.
The doubles competition was even closer. Macferran and Carson were defeated 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in one of the best contests of the day. Ranson and Bud Francis played the other doubles match for Kansas and carried their opponents three sets before losing 6-3, 8-10, 6-1.
Today the Jayhawkers tangle with the University of Nebraska here, and Wednesday they travel to Topeka for a return match with Washburn.

When Man Meets Donkey, Heaven Help The Burro
The very walls of Memorial stadium may shudder at the idea, and the turf may be in for quite a beating, but come what may, there is going to be a donkey baseball game there at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
There may be some bunps and bruises on the anatomy of a few of the University's faculty members, but despite the danger of being thrown off a disgruntled donkey, 15 of them have agreed to contest the senior class representatives in a battle of the burros.
Now donkeys aren't the most agreeable things in the world, but neither are some faculty members we know, and even the seniors act a little mulish at times. So pit the faculty and the seniors against the bunch of gentle little donkeys and
anything can happen—and it probably will.
The game will feature some of the outstanding donkeys of donkeydom: Mae West, who has a mind of her own; Miss America of the million dollar legs and tapering ears; and Gypsy Rose Lee, the girl who won't keep anything on, not even ball players.
Both senior class representatives and faculty members will be donkey-mounted for the 'game, which resembles standard baseball—somewhat. Instead of innings, there will be six 12 minutes chukkers. After making a hit, the batter rides his donkey around the bases. In this way, he may make a home run, or ends up on a slow boat to China.
depending on his donkey's mood.
depending on his donkey's mood. Infielders and outfielders must be mounted at all times while playing. In fact, the only ones on foot are pitcher, catcher, and batter, the butter only enjoying his blessing temporarily, since he must hop on a donkey to get to first base.
To retrieve grounders or low balls, players have to ride their donkeys to within four feet of the ball, dismount, pick up the ball, and remount the donkey before throwing the ball to another player. The rumor is that the team put-out count; the player is still safe when only his donkey has been touched.
During the first four chuckkers, the batters will mount their donkeys
to get to first; in the last two chukers, they'll have to strain their muscles with a more Charles Atlas-like feat. After hitting the ball, the better will be required to pick up Sparkle, the baby donkey, carry her to first, and then ride his regular donkey to the other bases.
Faculty members, worn out from years of scholarly activities, and seniors, equally worn out from the strain of being seniors, will battle it out to the end on their nine men teams. There should be plenty of horse laughs (donkey laughs in this case) before the afternoon is over.
Goldfish are so plentiful in some localities that they are used for food, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
