Coach Vic Bradford finally got his hitters and pitchers to cooperate in the 12 to 2 defeat of Iowa State Friday. In the last six games, whenever the hurlers turned in a good job, the batters would be futile at the plate. And whenever the other team would be jumping all over the Jayhawker mound staff, as in the 10 to 12 loss to Kansas State.
The University team looked sharp in the victory over the Cyclones. Hitting was both potent and timely. Base-running had the Iowa State team playing drop-the-handker-chief in the field. Ray Ocamb and Guy Mabry had the Cyclone batters under control most of the afternoon. Only Ocamb's wild streak in the sixth pushed Iowa State into the scoring column.
Thornton Jenkins, Missouri basketball star, was chosen by the athletic department at the Tiger school as the outstanding athlete of the year. This is particularly interesting since Jenkins was ignored by some all-star selectors after the cage season in favor of various other members of the Tiger squad, notably Dan Pippin.
Some sentiment at Missouri thought the decision should have gone to a member of the track squad since it has been the only consistent winner among the Tiger sport squads this school year.
When the Missouri golf team lost matches to Oklahoma and Kansas last week, it was the first Tiger defeat on the fairways in two years. Oklahoma won, 14 to 4, and the Jayhawkers triumphed, 14 to $1/2$.
Tom Scofield, Kansas high jumper, broke two records last week. He cleared the bar at 6 feet, $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches to establish a dual meet record against Missouri. In the Big Six outdoor affair during the weekend, coach Ray Kanehl's ace leaper hit 8 feet, $7\frac{1}{8}$ inches to set a new conference mark. It was the highest Scofield has ever jumped.
Last year he hit 6 feet, 77% inches at the N.C.A.A. meet in June. That height was good enough to tie for second with Fred Sheffield of Utah. Wiesner of Marquette placed first with a jump of 6 feet, 83% inches.
Oklahoma trimmed Missouri, 6 to 1, in a baseball game Saturday to go into the Big Six lead by a half game margin. Hal Cumberland allowed the Tigers only four scattered hits while the Sooners were slamming out 10.
The contest closed league play for Oklahoma. Trailing the Sooners by half a game, Missouri must win both contest from the Jayhawkers this week to regain the lead. An even split would maintain the half game margin. A double loss would pull the Tigers back into the rest of the pack of also-rans. It's up to you, Coach Bradford. Do you want the Sooners or the Tigers to take the league title? Our bets will be on the Jayhawkers in the two game series.
Modesto, Cal.,—(UP)—Officials of the California Relays await official approval on one of the greatest track feats ever performed in America in the sixth annual event here Saturday night.
9.4 Time In Century May Be Tied Again
That would be the performance of "Pel-mel" Patton, the USC fireball, who "flew" through the air to win the 100-yard dash in the world-record equalling time of 9.4 seconds.
It was the fastest 100 yards run anywhere in the world during the past seven years and tied a record now jointly held by Jesse Owens, Frank Wycoff and Cylde Jeffrey. Owens ran the century in that time on 14 different occasions.

Dances, called "Corn-meal shuffles," will be held on Wednesday nights for University students. Lectures, movies, and music projections are used the plan to get students recreation during the summer session.
Yen For Tokyo Bath Will Cost More Yen
Tokyo—(UP)—It's going to cost two and one-half times as much for a Japanese to take a bath in Tokyo if the local "bathhouse gang" puts through its raise in prices.
Because of fuel shortages, most Tokyo residents have dismantled their private baths and depend almost entirely on public bathhouses, which are run by an association. More than ever these bath houses have become popular social centers where friends meet, exchange gossip and arrange their black market deals.
It takes fuel to heat the water and to keep it hot—and fuel is scarce in Tokyo. The public bathhouse proprietor therefore wants an increase. Currently, charging one yen, the bathhouse men want to raise their prices to $2_{1/2}$ yen.
Americans spent $8,770,000,000 for alcoholic beverages in 1946, according to the Department of Commerce.
