UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGESIX
MAY 14, 1946-
Bv BILL SIMS
Tom Scofield, the Jayhawkers ace high jumper, holds the highest mark in that event this season, according to statistics just released by the Minnesota university sports publicist. The data was compiled for the annual N.C.A.A. track and field meet which will be held June 21 and 22 at Minneapolis.
Scoffield and Ken Wiesner of Marquette share the top mark of 6 feet, 6 inches for the season. Scoffield has a chance to break the tie at the Big Six outdoor carnival Saturday. He almost cleared 6 feet, $8\frac{1}{4}$ inches at the Kansas Relays, but his hand knocked the bar off after his body had cleared it.
Scofield uses an unorthodox combination of the western-roll and the belly-roll to scale the heights, but it pays off and that's what counts.
Tom is favored to win the Big Six crown, but he will have to have a good mark to do so. His chief competition probably will come from Iowa State's Dwayne Feekin, who won the indoor crown by beating Scofield. Tom evened things up by defeating Feekin at the Kansas Rellays, and he is out to recapture the title he shared in 1944.
Coach Ray Kanehl has come up with another fine performer in the person of Wallace Desterhaft, a navy trainee. Desterhaft runs the 440-yard dash and also runs on the mile relay team. He made his first appearance before the home crowd in the dual meet with Missouri Friday, and he took second place in the 440-yard run.
Desterhaft transferred to Kansas from Purdue in the navy unit, and he was one of the top performers for Purdue.
He has been bothered by bad feet this season, and he has participated only in the dual meets with Kansas State and Missouri, taking second place in both meets in the 440.
His addition, gives Kanehli two capable performers for this event at the Big Six meet. Johnny Jackson has not been defeated in this race this season, and he is favored to take the event at Lincoln. If Desterhaft isn't handicapped by his feet, he will give Jackson a battle for top honors. Kansas may finish first and second in this event, and it would be a big boost to the Jayhawkers' title aspirations.
Roy Shoaf has lost only one set in match play this season against the best players the other schools could offer.
Sidelights on the tennis team—Bob "Bitsy" Barnes plays a fine game even though he has been bothered by a bad shoulder. He was shot in the right shoulder with a rifle bullet while he was serving with the 42nd Division in Europe, but he has come back to gain one of the spots on the varsity tennis team.
The tennis team averages 6 feet, one inch, even though Barnes is only 5 feet, 7 inches . . . You can always tell when Bob Groom is behind in a game. He starts talking to himself. He just keeps repeating "Oh, red HOT."
Azerbaijan Break May Cause Civil War
Tehran. (UP)—Negotiations between the Tehran and Azerbaijan governments collapsed today and the visiting delegation left for Tabriz.
Jaafar Pishevary, leader of Azerbaijan, and his colleagues silently boarded a Russian plane and departed for Tabriz without signing the agreement with which Premier Ahmed Ghavam had sought to avert the threat of civil war.
(Editors note—There are two Azerbaijans listed in the world's news. One is a province in the northwest corner of Iran and its capital is Tabriz. The other is a republic in the southeast corner of the U.S.S.R. and its capital is Baku. The one referred to in this story is located in Iran.)
Final Golf Match Today With Nebraska
Coach William Shannon's Jayhawkier linksmen were to play their last match of the season today against the Cornhuskers at Lincoln, Neb. The Jayhawkers swamped the Cornhuskers in the first match 17 to 1.
PT-7, ATO's Win In IM Games
Jack Hines, Bill Winey, Phil Wade, and Peter MacDonald were to represent Kansas in the Big Six golf finale.
Carruth, PT-7, Old Timer's, Alpha Tau Omega, and Phi Gamma Delta added another mark to their win column by defeating their opponents Monday on the intramural softball fields.
Carruth held a one-run advantage in a high scoring game played with Battenfield. Runs were scored by both teams in every inning, but Carruth was able to maintain a one run lead to win 16-15.
The game between PT-7 and PT-9 was a walk-away for the former team. The final score was 7-1 in favor of PT-7. The advantage in the game was taken by PT-7 early in the game, never being seriously molested.
The Old Timers and Ships company battled out a seven inning game that fell to the Old Timers by a score of 4-3. The one run advantage which took the game was constantly threatened by the navy men, but they couldn't fill in the gap between the scores.
Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Tau Delta battled through eight innings of play with the score tied at the end of all but one inning. The Phi Gams were able to stage an eighth inning rally to break a 6-6 deadlock and win the game 7-6.
Alpha Tau Omega shut out the Phi Kappa's 7-0 behind the fourhit pitching of Bill Holloway and Frank Palmer.
The ATO's forged into a two-run lead in the second inning, and clinched the game with a four-run attack in the first half of the seventh, when Fred Coulson's double with the bases loaded drove in three runs. The Phl Kappa's threatened to ruin the shut out twice, but tight fielding staved off their attempts.
Babe Ruth Will Meet Mexican Officials
Ruth is accepting the invitation Bernard Pasquel, vice-president of the league, to "visit" Mexico. The one-time "Sultan of Swat" will be accompanied by his wife; his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flanders, and Rud Rennie, sports-writer for the New York Herald-Tribune.
New York (UP)—Babe Ruth,
former New York Yankee home-
run king, will leave La Guardia
Field tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. to fly

bility of accepting either an official
or managerial post in the Mexican
