League-Leading Nebraska Wins Easily From Kansas
Kansas dropped the first game of a twin bill to the League leading Nebraska Cornhuskers 7 to 1 Monday on the Stadium diamond. The loss marks the third time this season that the Jayhawkers have bowed to the Cornhuskers, having dropped two at Lincoln earlier. Kansas now has won 3 and lost 10 in conference play.
Nebraska showed why they are.
Nebraska showed why they are leading the league in the second as they marked up three on five hits, two going for extra bases. Bob Grogan, first man up, started the fireworks with a solid double, and took third on Dick Bertuzzi's bobble. Wes Maser singled and Bob Cerv blasted a triple to deep center.
Lou Hammer, Jayhawker starter, retired Bob Schleicher on a fly to Neil Shaw, but Buzz Powley and Jim Sandstedt followed with one-baggers. Shaw, on a beautiful throw, nailed Powley at third, then Dil Blatchford was out second to first to retire the side. The Huskers added one in the sixth and two in the seventh off Hammer and one in the ninth off reliefer Karl Ebel.
Score On An Error
The Jayhawkers took advantage of two Nebraska errors coupled with a single to score their lone run. Charlie Medlock led off with a single and coasted to second as Maser momentarily fumbled the ball. After John Fencyk had whiffed, Scott Kelly, pinchting for Hammer slapped one through the shortstop's legs, scoring Medlock. The rally was choked off as Shaw was picked off first and Lou Deluna popped to short.
Ehel Believes Again
Kansas got eight hits off Husker hurler Sandstuck, but they failed in the clutches, leaving eight men stranded. Paul Gilkison, clean-ur batter, continued in a slump, having gone hitless in his last eleven appearances.
Karl Ebel, big right-hander, came into the game in the eighth and allowed one run on no hits. Cerv tallied when he walked, stole second, took third when Ebel threw wild attempting to pick him off, and stole home as Fencyk threw to second trying to nip Powley who had walked. Ebel, who gave up throwing the javelin to take a fling at baseball has made two appearances as a reliefer and has shown up well for his wildness.
The two teams will play again today at 3:30 p.m. Dick Gilman will probably be on the mound for Russ Sehon's crew with Tom Novak, husky football star, opposing him. The box score.

Jefferson City, Mo.-(UP)—Hubert Wheeler, state commissioner of education, reports that there are 823 school teachers in rural Missouri who have never been to college. The average teacher's salary in Missouri the past year was $1,562.
Turnabout's Fair Play, Etc.
Santa Fe, N. M.—(UP—The rent control office here was evicted from its quarters when the general land office in the federal building office, whose room it has occupied in the federal building here, said it needed the space.

Boston Belts Bum Hurlers
New York, May 18—(UP)—Now is the time for Brooklyn's flag-defending Dodgers to settle down—or else forget about any designs on the 1948 National League bunting.
Although the club's official brass section still refuses to view with the fact remains that the play generally has been mediocre at best.
It was Boston, putting on an old-fashioned slugging demonstration in a 12 to 3 triumph over the Brooklyn last night, mistreating five Dodger throwers and in the masterminding department Billy Southworth had it all over the Dodger pilot, Leo Durocher.
Snider, Campanella Get Train Tickets
Southworth had his kids dropping successful squeeze bunts, running out their hits for extra bases on a diamond that had the color and consistency of fresh chocolate cake icing, and in general playing heads-up ball.
The Phils moved into fourth place with a 7 to 1 triumph over the Giants at Philadelphia in which Blix Donnelly pitched four-hit ball and contributed a triple to the winning 10-hit attack. Rookie John Blatnik led the Phils with three hits.
New York, May 18—(UP) The train ticket tremors shook the major leagues today as clubs slashed their squads in a rush to meet the 25-player limit by the deadline Thursday. Brooklyn led the parade, shipping eight players to various minor league farm clubs. The Cubs, Phillies and Cards followed suit.
There were no other major league ames scheduled.
The Dodgers, who had been playing with a Notre Dame-sized squad, pared down to 26 players. One of them was outfieldier Duke Snider, the man who was supposed to make the Flatbush faithful forget Dixie Walker. He heads for Montreal.
Roy Campanella, the Negro catcher will be the first member of his race to play in the American Association when he reports to St. Paul. Infielder Ramazzotti went to St. Paul along with Campanella.
The Dodgers still must shear one more player by Thursday midnight. Outfielders Gene Hermanski and Marvin Rackley and first baseman Preston Ward were all prospects, with Hermanski good trading bait.
The Cardinals sent John Bucha, a the-year-old rookie, catches for Houston. He hasn't past half

Tradition For Dick Ashley
Golfers and doctors seem to run in the Ashley family—the Ashleys of Chanute, that is.
Kansas's own Dick Ashley, one of the vital cogs in the Jayhawker golf team and an ambitious pre-medical student, comes from a long line of parbusters and physicians.
Dick, who is eagerly looking forward to the Big Seven golf tournament at Lincoln this weekend, modestly nominates his dad as the "best golfer in the family." That would be Dr. Sam Ashley, of Chanute, who long ago discovered that medicine and golf went together like Siamese twins.
Two Golfing Brothers
Dick, an unassuming, rawboned, six-footer also has two older brothers who are practicing medicine in Chanute. They, true to the Ashley tradition, are also handymen around the fairways. Dr. Ed Ashley was cutting capers with the Kansas golf squad back in 1934 and 35, while Dr. Glenn Ashley earned his letter in golf at K.U. in 1938.
Although Dick has yet to prove his ability in the field of medicine, he doesn't have to doff his hat to any member of his family when it comes to playing golf. 3 Times State Champ
3 Times State Champ
The baby brother at 23, Dick was state high school sand gregs champions for three consecutive years while playing for Chanute high school. He is the first player in Kansas to accomplish this feat.
As a youngster of 15 years, he won the Garnett Invitational tournament. A few years later he really hit his stride and set the course record there, shooting a brilliant 134, 10 under par for 36 holes.
Dick went on to cop the Chanute Invitational the three years he competed—1942, 1946, and 1947. In service, Dick managed to keep his game fresh by playing on the Rapid City, S.D., Army Air base team.

Had to Adjust Game
The past summer he took a crack at the big-time circuit and went to the semi-finals of the Mid West P.G.A. pro-amateur tournament in
When Ashley came to the University in 1947 he had to adjust his game to meet the difficult change from sand greens to grass greens. Asked how he found the switch, he replied "It was terrible."
"It's all the difference in the world," he explained, screwing up his tanned face. "Sand greens are smaller for one thing. A 20-foot putt on sand is a rarity, but on grass I have had putts from 35 yards out. Good golfers consistently one putt sand greens.
"Another thing, on sand you don't get that crazy roll that you do on grass. When playing sand greens you don't have to be afraid of hitting your approach shots too hard because the soft sand cuts down the roll of the ball."
Says He Needs Weight
Dick belongs to the school that believes the heaviest golfers are generally the most successful. The sophomore links star, who weighs a light 160 pounds considering his height, said he could use a few more pounds.
"Weweight in the right places means added stamina, and, believe me, that extra bit of stamina may mean the difference of a couple of strokes in those 36 hole matches. Some of the lighter boys appear to tire at the end of long matches. I know that I do."
Asked what part of his game gives him the most trouble, Dick replied without hesitating, "That short game around the green—putting and short approach shots. My woods don't give me much trouble."
Guy W. Keeler Elected To National Extension Group
Guy V. Keeler, director of the University lecture course bureau, was one of four elected to the executive committee of the National University Extension association at its national meeting in Chicago last week.
Mr. Keeler's election was for a three-year term. Extension divisions of 67 schools belong to the association.
