Jayhawker Nine Splits Openers With Arkansas
Arkansas and Kansas settled for an even split in their two-game series over the weekend as the Jayhawkers officially opened their 1948 baseball season.
The Jayhawkers pushed across a run in the last of the ninth without making a hit to edge Razorbacks, 10 to 9, in Friday's game. Arkansas came
back to even the series Saturday by defeating the Jayhawkers, 14 to 10, in a 10-inning struggle.
Lot DeLuna was the batting star of Saturday's game for the Jayhawkers. The big first sacker poled out two home runs and a double to drive in four runs. His second four-baser came in the eighth inning with teammates Guy Mabry and Scott Kelly on base and tied the game at 10-all. But the Razorbacks came roaring back in the top of the tenth and scored four runs on six hits to put the game on ice.
AU Pitcher Hits Hard
Blond Harry Daughtery, tall Arkansas righthander, went the distance although he gave up 12 hits. He aided his own cause with a home run, triple, and double. His triple to deep left started the fireworks in the tenth.
bridge, a slow working righthander,
replaced him.
Friday the Jayhawkers sneaked over a run in the last of the ninth without getting the ball past the pitcher to hang up a 10 to 9 win. Foe's Wildness Costly
George Cox, southpaw Arkansas pitcher, got himself in hot water by hitting May on the leg. Bertuzzi bunted to the mound and Cox, with a perfect force play on May in sight, threw the ball into center field. John Fencyk, with three hits for the day, was given an intentional pass. Then with Shaw at bat, Cox let loose with a wild pitch and May romped home with the winning run.
Kansas started off like a house on fire in the first inning, scoring five runs on a walk to Shaw, singles by Kelly, Deluna, Hogan, and French, topped off by May's double.
Johnny Dewell, tall righthander, started the game for the Hawkeyers but was shelled from the mound in a low cut. The Hawkeyes turned in a good relief performance.
Arkansas tied it up in the second on two hits, two errors and two walks. Shaw hit a home run for Kansas in the fourth inning with Dewell on base.

Harmon Wins Masters Title
Augusta, Ga. April 12—(UP)—Claude Harmon of Mamoroneck, N.Y. held his first major golf title today, and it was a big one—the Masters. He tied the tournament record by slamming out a total score of 279 to equal the mark set by Ralph Guldahl in 1939.
Harmon's feat left a lot of the touring pros wondering whether it wasn't smarter to get tied up with a well-paying club and confine their tournament activities to the top-drawer events. That's Harmon's system.
"I'm a family man and those two spots pay me enough to keep me contented enough to stay off the circuit," he said after posting his 70 to clinch the title yesterday. "I've been playing my best golf the last two or three years and I figured in advance that I would do well here."
He has a spring and summer job with the famed winged foot club in Mamoroneck. He spends winters with the Seminole club at Palm Beach.
Harmon finished with a 70 on the final round, giving himself a big five-stroke margin over the field. Cary Middlecoff, Memphis, finished second with 284. All the strong pretourney favorites finished so far back they embarrassed themselves.
Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago, the odds-on choice in pre-tournament betting, finished in fourth along with Jim Ferrier, the Australian who now lives in Chicago. Their 288's were par on the Augusta national course for 72 holes.
Harmon won $2,500 by taking first place. Middlecoff, the second man, got $1,500.

Sikes' Line Is Well Anchored
When Kansas' 1948 model football team rolls out the carpet next tan, one position is certain to be capably manned. Dick Monroe, 205 pounds of bone and muscle, will handle the Jayhawker pivot duties for the second straight year.
During the present spring practice, "Big Moose" has shown that he has lost none of his bone-shattering power or his all-around football Monroe should be well-remember-savvy.
Playing in a conference that boasted two of the nation's finest centers in Nebraska's Tom Novak and Oklahoma's John Rapacz, Monroe gained the respect of every team in the loop for his adept blocking and his devastating line backing. Monroe was a veritable tower of strength in the Kansas defense.
Dick began his career as a center only last spring when he was picked to fill the shoes of the departed Howard Fischer. With two years of experience as a blocking back for the Oklahoma Aggies, "Big Moose" soon found himself as the number one Kansas pivot man.
Monroe should be well-remembered by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, for it was he that took it upon himself to squelch the famed Nebraska naked reverse. Dick's vicious play had a great deal to do with the Kansas victory in that crucial Husker game.
Dick Monroe hails from Tishomingo, Oklahoma. A junior in the school of education, Monroe spent four years in the Army Air Forces.
With a year of experience in the intricacies of line play behind him, Monroe should be even better in 1948.
