Emporia State Is Foe Here In Golf And Tennis Openers
The Jayhawker golf and tennis teams will swing into action Monday against the unknown strength of two teams from Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia. The linksmen will tee off at the Lawrence Country club at 1 p.m. with the action on the cement court beginning at 2.
Coach Bill Winey believes that this year's golf squad will be the best
Augusta, Ga., April 8-(UP) Golf's blue-briquet event—the Masters tournament—opens today and about the only entries missing are Frank Stranahan and Augusta's famous April weather.
Golf Classic Opens Today
Stranahan's banishment because of an infringement of course rules during practice was confirmed all over again by tournament chairman Cliff Roberts. Stranahan appealed for a hearing but Roberts said it is a closed incident. Stranahan may play next year but not today.
Practice scores have been discounted because most of the favorites were frankly experimenting with a heavy turf.
With Stranahan out, the leading amateur seems to be Dick Chapman, the handsome North Carolinian.
Best bets among the pros, aside from Lloyd Mangrum and Harbert, are Hogan, Byron Nelson, Bobby Locke, Johnny Palmer, Ed Furgol and "Skip" Alexander, according to clubhouse estimates garnished with plenty of lettuce on the side.
Because of the dismal weather, bettors are hedging all over the Augusta National clubhouse.
The weather has been just as negative as Stranahan's efforts. It didn't rain Wednesday but leaden skies hung over the swampy course through the day and the first round is bound to be a slow one.
However, Chick Harbert, a moonshooter from the tee, turned in a 69 Wednesday and immediately collected a big following.

since 1939 when the University nosed out Oklahoma for the Big Six championship. He added that it will probably second best in jayhawker golf history.
"The whole squad has shown marked improvement, and the back five may give the first five a stiff battle for the honor positions soon," Winey said. Harold Dekongy, who is favored as one of the starters, missed a hole-in-one by the width of a match stick about a week ago.
Coach Jim Seaver is uncertain as to his starting tennis squad, but he expressed the belief that the first doubles would probably be made up of Dick Richards and Harold Miller with the second doubles consisting of Charles Carson and Harvey McFerran.
The singles team will probably be taken from the four doubles men and Charlie Cray and Glen Tongier. All of the men are highly rated and furnish much competition for the choice spots.
The K.S.T.C. crew will be facing a slight disadvantage in that it is used to putting on sand greens while the Lawrence club features grass greens. Otherwise, the golf courses of the two schools are very similar and have short holes.
Sachem Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, senior men's honor society, will meet in Frank Strong hall at 8:30 tonight to nominate new members and discuss the annual student-faculty conference.
The conference is to be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 24 at the Lawrence Country club. Its purpose is to promote better student-faculty understanding through an organized discussion of campus problems, student government, curriculum, and other topics.
Sachem To Meet Tonight
To Nominate New Members
Fifty students and 20 faculty members have been invited to take part in the discussion.
With Yawkey Bankroll
New York, April 8-(UP)—Owner Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox still isn't convinced that money won't go a long way toward buying a pennant. This is the year that should tell the story.
Boston May Dethrone Yanks
Yawkey shelled out plenty to revamp the club which finished third last year. He bought pitchers Jack Kramer and Ellis Kinder and shortstop Vern Stephens from the Browns and out-___
Insurer-influencer Stan Spence from the Washington Senators.
It will see an outfield of Ted Williams, Don DiMaggio and Sam Mele and an infield of Spence at first, Bobby Doerr at second, Stephens at short and Johnny Pesky at third. There may be better outfields or infields in the league, but Boston followers will have to seek them before they'll believe it.
The pitching prospects are rosy for both Dave Ferris and Mickey Harris appear to have recovered from the ailments which hampered them last year. Tex Hughson, however, still is on the doubtful list and McCarthy is letting him take all the time he wants
He dug into his pockets still deeper to bring Joe McCarthy out of retirement and install him as manager of the club with which Boston will bid for the 1948 American League pennant. That meant kicking Joe Cronin upstairs into the front office.
But for all of that it looks like the Red Sox have the club with which to challenge the Yankees. Except for some question mark pitchers, Marse Joe has his club all set for the season's opener.
to get in shape. The Red Sox' third place finish last year was traced directly to the failure of those three hurlers to measure up to past performances .
Birdie Tebbets will be the no. 1 catcher with Boris Martin, up from Toledo, and Ed McGah behind him.
The Big Seven bridge tournament originally scheduled to be played at the Union May 15 will not be played at the University.
Rumors have it that the Union budget will not allow holding the tournament, but this has not been confirmed.
This could be the year that Yawkey's heavy spending is going to pay off again—as it did in 1946."
Big 7 Bridge Play Moved From Union
It is thought that the play-offs may be held at Kansas State college. The Y.M.C.A. at Kansas State has expressed a desire to sponsor it. Word has not been received from them yet but is expected soon.
Baseball Hopes Hit As Gilman Is Hurt
The Jayhawker baseball team's hope for a clean sweep of the two games series with Arkansas was lessened Tuesday when coach Russ Sechon announced that Dick Gilman would not be ready to pitch.
Kansas City, Kan., April 8—(UP) —Tom Doremy formally will announce the termination of a 20-year career as head coach at Ward High school tonight, when Cyclone athletes will be honored at the annual dinner in the school cafeteria.
Gilman, who was one of the starting pitchers last season, recently injured his ankle in football practice and has been unable to work out for the last few days.
Ward Coach Quits After 20 Years
Dorney will end his duties at Ward with the conclusion of the 1948 baseball season, when the school term expires in June.
A former St. Benedict's star athlete at Atchison, Kan., Dorney came to Ward immediately after his graduation in 1928 and proceeded to lift the Catholic institution out of the doldrums into the limelight in city and state athletic competition.
Ray Evans, all-American from the University of Kansas, will be a featured speaker at the banquet honoring Ward athletes.
