Spring Drills End Friday When 'Reds' Battle 'Whites'
The "Red" already one up on the "Whites" in their spring football series, added end help Tuesday with the return of Bill Shakea, 195-pound freshmen end for the two clubs' annual game Friday night in Haskell stadium.
Schaake missed last Saturday's enlisted Tuesday as Coach J. V. Sikes scale battle of the spring. The big local, an all-state grid and basketball performer in his prep days here, has improved steadily this spring and will furnish a big lift to the "Reds" who carry only three other wintemen.

The "Reds" can clinch the spring series by scoring another win over their intra-squad foes Friday. They grabbed a 2-1 edge Saturday by scoring a 36-24 triumph in the Jayhawkers best offensive display of the hot weather session. The "Reds" won the second game just before the Kansas Relays, 28-7, after dropping the opener, 0-12, before the Easter recess.
Sikes wrought only minor personal shifts for the windup clash, but promising amm留 200-pound yearling guard from the "Red" to the "White" squail.
The "Whites" also picked up Jasper Mirarel, 215-pound Kansas City Mo. tackle, and Bob Wolfe, 200-pound center from Salina.
Tickets for Friday's affair can be purchased at the University Athletic office or at Lawrence business firms.

Olympia Heads Eight Entrants In Derby Trials
Louisville. May 3-(U,P)—Fred Hooper's favored Olympia gets a look at the audacious upstarts who dare challenge him in Saturday's Kentucky Derby when he runs against seven hopefuls today in the 12th annual Derby trial.
Louisville was becoming more and more an Olympia town as this 2 to 1 choice to cop the roses prepared for his test outing over the even mile route to creaky Churchill Downs this afternoon. But a lacing today, while certainly no death knell to Olympia's Derby dreams, might change the picture completely before the week is out.
The seven other horses ready to go in the trial are Olympia's stable-mate, Ocean Drive, plus Greentree Stable's Capot, Arthur Cotter's Petey Cotter, Afton Villa farm's Jackstown, Mrs. H. J. Damm's Roundeleder, and Calumet Farm entry of Deluxe and Ponder.
Missing are such Derby probables as Greentree's Wine List, Clifford Mooers' Old Rockport and Palestinian, the very serious contender owned by Isidor Bieber.
Olympia, Ocean Drive and Capo were top weighted for today's race at 118 pounds. Petey Cotter drew 112 pounds and the remainder 110.
Eddie Arcaro, the banana-nosee rider who has been atop four Derby winners already in his rose-stew career, was to ride Olympia. Basil James was astride Ocean Drive, and the other jocks were Ted Atkinson on Capot, W. L. Taylor on Jackstown and Don Madden on Petey Cotter. The other boys were not announced.
The track figured to be fast, and there was a chance that the trial record of 1 minute, 35 4/5 seconds might be equalled or bettered.
The wizened horsemen around the stables pointed out patiently today—as they do every year—that only once has a trial winner gone on to take the Derby the following Saturday. That was in 1948 when Citation did the trick.
For one thing, the distance difference sometimes tells. The trial is a mile, the Derby a mile and a quarter.

Pitchers May Hold Upper Hand This Year In Big Leagues If Trends Continue
Also Pluto Cartoon
New York, May 3—(U.P.)-Evidence was accumulating today that the forgotten art of pitching may be revived in the major leagues.
The home run is still the magic lure and there are plenty of round trip blasts for all the customers, but along with them this season have been several notable improvements in pitching.
Perhaps the most significant item.
Perhaps the most significant is that more pitchers are turning in complete games, managing to go all the way, and help from their bullpen brethren. As a result, fact, there have been 41 complete games thus far in the National League this year, compared with 35 for the same period a year ago. In the American, the comparison is even more striking with 40 complete games against 31 for the corresponding number of games in 1948.
It also was noted in an off-day audit that run production is down. This year in the National, according to the latest official averages for 76 games, there have been 344 runs scored for an average of 4.52 per game. Last year for the same period there were 382 runs scored in 82 games for an average of 4.65 per game.

Also significant was a slight increase in the number of shutout games thus far. There have been eight in the National while last year to date there were only six.
There have been six shutouts in the American, one more than at the same time last season.
Aggie Tennis Team Here For Matches
The Kansas State tennis team will be here Wednesday for a match with the Jayhawkers on the University courts.
Kansas will be after its first victory this spring. They have been beaten by Oklahoma A&M, University of Oklahoma, University of Colorado, and Washburn.
Hervey Macferran will be in the number one position for the Jayhawkers, and Jack Ranson and Charles Carson will play number two and three, respectively. The other two positions are undecided as yet, but they will be filled by Jim Burdett, Bud Francis, or Lynn Greeley.
