UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MAY 20, 1947
PAGE FOUR
By BILL CONBOY
Bill Jones, number one man on the University golf squad, is six strokes under par for his last three matches over the Swope park course in Kansas City. He has a 66, 71, and 73 to his credit over the par 72 course against Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Missouri.
. . .
Coach Gordon Sabine's tennis team is now assured of no worse than second place in the conference with three victories against one defeat. Missouri university cancelled its match here after rain forced postponement of play Friday.
Oklahoma appears a cinch for the net title. Last year positions were just reversed, the Sooners trailing the Jayhawkers in the final standings. Oklahoma has won the conference championship 11 times. Kansas has five titles to its credit.
A letter was delivered to the sports desk of the Daily Kansan Monday from Karl D. Edwards, director of University High school Mr. Edwards coached Bruce Henoch, the diminutive Jayhawker javelin thrower, in his senior year at Enterprise. He offers this comment on coach Kanehl's pint-sized spear tosser:
"Bruce was one of the finest high school athletes it has ever been my privilege to coach. Not only could he deliver the goods on the field, but his fighting spirit and sportsmanlike attitude were an inspiration to his teammates, a joy to his coach, and a source of admiration from opponents, officials, and spectators for or against me. I will not bear witness to the 200-foot mark with the javelin. Nor will I be surprised to see his name among George Sauer's footballers before he graduates from K.U."
This is high praise coming from a former coach. This column is always glad to receive such letters. From now on, we'll be watching Mr. Henoch with particular interest. And we've got a hunch that Coaches Kanehl and Sauer may have further praise to add a couple of years from now.

Big Dale Mitchell, the Oklahoma university fence buster of 1946, returned to the Sooner state last week for some more baseball before the home fans. But he was in a professional uniform this time as a member of the Oklahoma City team in the Texas league.
Mitchell had signed with the Cleveland Indians following his sensational play of last season for coach Jack Baer's Sooner club. He has now been optioned by the Indians to Oklahoma City on a 24-hour recall basis.
He established a modern hitting record at Oklahoma university last spring when he amassed a .507 average. After signing with the Indians, he started play with Oklahoma City and led the league in hitting even though his team wound up in the cellar spot.
With 21 days left in the major league season, Mitchell joined the Cleveland club and completed the schedule as regular center fielder. He hit over 400 during this time. Manager Lou Boudreau of the Indians said during spring practice that the Oklahoma player would hold center field for the club if he maintained his early pace.
Evidently major league pitching proved a little tougher this year. Maybe Dale Mitchell is suffering from the same trouble that St. Louis Cardinal batters have experienced during the current season.

Phi Delts, Sig Eps Win In Softball Semi-Finals
Two extra inning thrillers featured the men's intramural softball semifinals Monday. Phi Delta Theta edged Sigma Chi 5-4 and Sigma Phi Epsilon squeezed out a 7-6 victory over the Delta Tau Delta nine.
Same Location-Same Management
You are welcome 711 Mass.
Neive, Sig Ep hurler, came through with a round tripper in the eighth with two down and the tying run on base. Fisher, McNeive's battery mate, also homered for the Sig Eps.

The story book finish where the pitcher wins his own game with a home run in an extra inning-actually happened in the Sig Ep-Delt game. Me-
Both teams started scoring early in the game. The Sig Eps crossed home four times in the first inning and the Delta scored once in the same frame. Fisher's home run gave the victors their fifth run in the second. For the next three innings, Baker, Delt pitcher, held the Sig Ep batters in tow while his teammates scored five times to grab a 6-5 lead.
In the sixth, Jarrell scored for the Sig Eps to knot the score 6-6. Neither team threatened in the seventh and the scene was set for McNeive. Not only did McNeive provide the tying and winning runs, but he pitched a creditable four hit game. Baker was nicked for eight hits. Auten Stars
A hit in the eighth inning by Don Auten, center fielder, drove home the run which gave Phi Delta Theta victory over Sigma Chi. Belt Storm
played air-tight ball to halt Sigma Although out-hit, the Phi Delts Chi threats and in an extra inning pushed across a run to score a 5-4 triumph.
In the first inning Sigma Chi drew a walk and hammered out two doubles but were unable to score. In the second, however, MacDonald came home on a Phi Delt error at first to score the game's initial tally.
Fitzpatrick. Phil Delt catcher, tied the score with a home-run in the last of the second. In the third the Phil Delts pulled ahead 2-1 when Powell singled, advanced to second on an infield hit by Perkins, and scored on an outfield fly. Reddock Leads Hitting
No runs were tallied in the fourth or fifth but in the sixth Reddoch, Sigma Chi catcher, doubled, stole third and came home on a single by Clark. Reddoch collected three hits in four trips to the plate to lead hitters on both teams.
Much controversy resulted from a play in the seventh which gave Sigma Chi a run. With McDonnell on first, Williams on third and none down Connelly bunted for the Sigma Chi's. Evans, pitching for Phi Delt, took the bunt and instead of playing the ball he checked the runner on third. McDonnell, on first, rounded second and came into third leaving two men vying for the base. Evans turned to check with the pumpe and in the meantime Williams stole home. The officials ruled McDonnell out and a run for Sigma Chi. Connelly in the same inning scored on another double by Reddoch.
