Phi Psi Sets A Pace By Downing Sigma Chi
The Phi Psi's thumped Sigma Chi 8 to 4 yesterday to boost their hopes for a division softball championship. The victory made them the only unwhipped team in division three. Theta Tau, Triangle, Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Gam, and Doghouse teams also were victorious.
Phi Psi hammered out 12 hits, including round tripspers by Bob Mercer
and Max Kissell, in winning their third straight. The loss was the first for the Sigma Chi's.
A four-run outburst in the opening frame gave the Phi Psi's a good start. In the second inning what proved to be the winning marker was shoved across the plate. Bob Arbuckle and Bob Mercer contributed four hits to the winning chase.

Sleepy Hollow Tops Tri-Delt On Homer
Blasting out a two-run homer in the top-half of the sixth inning. Rutherford, Sleepy Hollow first baseman, broke up a tie ball game Tuesday and gave her team an 11 to 9 win over Delta Delta Delta. Kappa Kappa Gamma and the Hawks never were pressed as they piled up high scores.
The meet, an afternoon and evening affair, was held in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1946 and 1947. Any amateur athlete from Kansas or western Missouri may compete.
A five-run fifth inning rally by the Tri-Delts forced Sleepy Hollow to go to extra innings. But after Rutherford's home run in the first half of the sixth, Fleshman, Sleepy Hollow pitcher, set the Tri-Delts down in order.
Gunsolly, Kappa pitcher, held Sigma Kappa to nine scattered hits as the Kappa's won an easy 19 to 3 victory. Seven of the Kappa starters got three hits each.
The extra-base hitting of the Hawks, who converted 37 hits into 33 runs, overwhelmed a stubborn Rick-nine team by a score of 33 to 10.
Strength Down Middle Keynote Of'48 Grid Crew
With only a few days of spring football practice remaining, it seems safe to predict that next fall's Jayhawker grid team will be strong down the middle but questionable at several other posts.
The driving rod of the T stretches from center through quarterback to fullback. The defending conference co-champs will have solid first stringers at/each of these spots in
Dick Monroe, 208-pound pivot; passer Red Hogan at quarter, and Forrest Griffith, 190-pound all-loop fullback.
More impressive however, will be the foundation for this ramrod at guard. The only time J. V. Sikes, the red and blue's new mentor, has been able to break into a smile this spring has been when he calls Don Fambrough and Dick Tomlinn in to the lineup at these two spots.
Best Guards in Big Seven
If this pair doesn't suffer a let-down when D-day arrives next autumn, they should rank as high as any brace of guards in the newly-formed Big Seven. Fambrough, a cast-iron Texan of 190 pounds, was called the loop's best guard last year in gaining his second all-circuit berth and co-captaining the Jayhawkers into the Orange bowl. He has one more year and it should be his best.
Here is the load Fambrough carries. For two seasons he has served as the boss of K.U.'s famous lines which have amazed 21 foes with their sharp all-around play. It is Fambrough who calls the defensive signals and plots all tactics for the boys in front. He is versatile enough to play with equal fury and efficiency in close line play or as a backer behind a five-man rampart. Furthermore he has booted 51 of 65 extra point attempts during the last two seasons. None of his misses ever cost the Kansans a game. He didn't earn the club's "Most Valuable Lineman" award by accident two years ago.
As Sikes exclaimed the other day. "Wish all the boys wanted to play as hard as Don does. That's one thing that makes him great." Counting On Tomlinson
Don will be obliged to maintain his high standard of play if he is to keep ahead of his younger and bigger guard mate, Dick Tomlinson. As a freshman two years ago, the streamlined 200-pounder didn't even earn a letter. It took him a full season to make the transition from a high school fullback to a Big Six guard. But last year he leaped into prominence before the season was half gone. When the veteran Joe Cawford was knocked out with a twisted knee, Tomlinson earned his first major starting assignment against Oklahoma. He was in there most of the time the remainder of the season except for a turn at right tackle against, Missouri when Hugh Johnson and Steve Renko were injured.
At the season's end most of the railbirds were willing to call him the best young lineman in the league. He'll be a junior next season.
Behind Fambrough and Tomlinson will be two other lettered guards, Ken Sperry, 170-pounder and Jack Fink, 195-pound Topekan. Two promising freshmen, Dolph Simons and John Idoux, make this spot, the strongest link in the reshaped Kansas line.
Monroe also will have capable help in Howard Fischer, the 1946
Strong at Center
regular who is showing improvement over his freshman play of that season, and Ralph Brown, who was good enough to letter on last year's Orange bowl finalists. It is doubtful if there will be a better Big Seven center than Monroe next autumn.
Recent spring practice developments promise help for Hogan and Griffith. Don Wilson, sturdy fresh quarterback up from Wyattotte high school, has shown improvement in ball-handling and signal calling, engineering a surprise 18 to 6 victory over the varsity in the last big intra-squad scrimmage. John Amberg now ranks as the top spring practice find. A miniature edition of Griffith at 178 pounds, the former Shawnee-Mission ace has taken to his new bucking spot rapidly especially in the ball-packing department. He nailed the first touchdown for the reserves.
Tom Scott who divided chores between left half and quarter last season, is spending all of his time at the latter post in spring drills. Sikes hopes to draw some passing aid from both him and Wilson by fall.
The picture on the fringes isn't nearly so bright. Good prospects at both end and tackle are extremely thin, and Frank Pattee may have to carry the entire left half burden along.
Pointers To Present Archie
To Outstanding Sophomore
Not to be outdone by Hollywood Oscars, the drawing and painting department has created an Archie. He is a small bronze seal, and will be presented to the outstanding sophomore to be selected by the senior class.
The presentation will be made at the annual Fine Arts day banquet May 4.
This is the first year for Archie's appearance, but he will be presented annually, Raymond J. Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting said today.

Blues Lose Home Debut
Kansas City fans got their first look at the Blues in action Tuesday, but left singing the blues as the Kansas City club lost a-6 to 10 decision to the Indianapolis Indians and sank within one-half game of the cellar.
After three innings the visitors were out in front 6 to 2; and they stretched it in the fourth with another three runs. The first six runs came off starter Charley Schanz, formerly of the Phils, and sent him to the showers. Jim Arnold came in to relieve, and was followed by Dutch Houtz in the sixth and Jack Robinson in the ninth.
Kansas City matched the visitors' two first-inning tallies, but was caught in a three-inning drouth while the Indians sewed up the game. The Blues came to life in the fifth with two, and added single runs in the sixth and seventh.
Ted Beard of Indianapolis clouted a triple, a double, and a single in five triples, scoring three times and driving in one run. Letachas of the Indians and Dyck and Muffloleto of the Blues collected two hits a season.
Carl (Perfect Game) DeRose will start on the mound for the Blues this afternoon in the second game of the series. DeRose made his first appearance of the season at Louisville and lasted six innings.
Quigley Announces Grid Date Change
