Jay hawker tracksters looked mighty good against the Missouri Tigers Friday in the dual meet at the stadium. If the Kansans can keep up the same pace in the Big Six meet Friday and Saturday at Lincoln, it will be a real battle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the title.
title.
Missouri was heavily favored in the track events in the dual meet, but Kansas showed surprising results in these races. The Jayhawker field strength came through as expected and piled up a quick lead over the Tigers.
Coach Ray Kanehl will take a much improved squad to Lincoln over the one which participated in the Big Six indoor meet in Kansas City. The Jayhawkers finished in fifth place in the indoor meet, but I believe they will take first or second place in the outdoor carnival.
out place if injuries this week don't hand-cap Kansas, the Crimson and Blue may surprise even the most optimistic fans with its performance on the Nebraska cinders. But it will be a battle all the way, and the Jayhawkers can't afford to let over-confidence creep into their systems.
***
If the Jayhawkers can capture the Big Six track and field championship, it will be the first Kansas has won since 1934. Glenn Cunningham was captain of the last Big Six track championship squad from Kansas, and he was one of the most heralded tracksters in the nation at the time.
The Jayhawkers took 10 firsts in the Big Six outdoor carnival that year, and Cunningham and Ed Hall accounted for six of them, each winning three events. Cunningham had not run in more than two races in any meet that year, but Coach Bill Hargiss entered him in three events that day. And Cunningham came through to win all three races.
It was Glenn's last year in the Big Six conference, and it was a fitting way to end his career in collegiate competition. He went on to become the outstanding miler of the time, and he may go down in track history as the greatest of them all.
Sidelights at the track meet. . . Charlie Black continues to amaze fans with his versatility. "The Hawk" went to the broad jump pit Friday and took one jump. It was good enough to take second place so Charlie went back to the discus event. . . Harold Hinchee, top Jayhawker half-miler, was handcapped by a bad knee. If it's in good shape at Lincoln, Hinchee will garner some points for the Kansas cause. . . Dexter Welton is one of the most improved performers on the squad. He was classed as the underdog in the hurdles in the O.U. and Missouri meets, but he broke the tape both times. Other hurdlers had better take notice. . . Karl Ebel scored an upset by taking second place in the discus. Black and Robison have had better throws consistently all season, but Ebel gave a fine performance Friday to win over both.
Policeman 'Rescues' Slugger Ted Williams From Bobby-Sox Mob
Boston. (UP)—Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox long-range hitter, nursed a pair of black and blue shins today and hoped that hereafter his youthful bobby-sox admirers will put all their enthusiasm into grand stand cheering.
Williams displayed bruises which he said he collected from a crowd of young fans after the Red Sox' double victory over the Athletics at Philadelphia Sunday.
"I like the kids and I'll take their cheers anytime in place of boos but they had me worried." Williams said. "They crowded around and whacked me until they had me aching and I was lucky to have a big cop come along and rescue me."

K.U. Loses Two Games to Tigers
The Jayhawkers lost two close games to the Missouri baseballers, 5-4 and 7-5, Saturday at Columbia. The losses knocked the Crimson and Blue team into fourth place in Big Six standings.
Big Six starred Tom Tennill held the Tigers to seven hits in the first game, but they scored the winning run in the last half of the seventh inning. Missouri's Jack Morgan slugged out a double with John Feldman on base, and Feldmann's run broke the tie. Missouri scored four times in the first inning, but the Jayhawkers rallied to tie the game up in the fifth inning when they sent Missouri's starter, Wayne Feldman, to the showers.
It was practically the same story in the second game. Ray. Ocamb hurled for the Kansan, and the Tigers had another four-run first innning at his expense. Ocamb steadied after that, and pitched a tight game. The Jayhawkers tied the score at five-all in the fourth inning when Red Hogan slapped out a triple with the sacks loaded.
The Tigers filled the bases in the sixth with an error, a hot smash at third, and a bunt that went for a hit. Missouri scored the winning runs before Ocamb could regain his poise, and the Jayhawkers were held scoreless in the final frame.
The Kansans will seek revenge when they entertain the Tigers for a two-game series Friday and Saturday on the home diamond. This series will close the season for Kansas.
Netters Down M.U. To Move Near Title
The Jayhawker tennis team took an abbreviated match from the Missouri Tigers Friday, 1-0, to climb another rung closer to the top of the Big Six championship ladder.
Bob Groom downed Missouri's Ray McNally 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, in the only match played. Roy Shoaf and Rip Manning of Missouri were tied at 5-all in the third set of their match when a driving rain forced them to stop. Shoaf won the first set 9-7, but Manning came back to win the second by the same score. Manning had Shoaf down 4-0 in the third set, but the Jayhawker rallied to tie at 5-all.
The team plays its final match of the season against the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday at Lincoln. Kansas beat the Nebraskan 5-1 earlier this season on the home courts, and is favored to repeat its earlier success.

The Jayhawkers journey to Lincoln for the Big Six outdoor track and field meet Friday and Saturday, and they hope to come home with his title.
The Jayhawkers scored grand slams in the high jump, shot put, and broad jump. Kansas captured 10 firsts in the 15-event meet, and took six of the nine race events. Missouri had been slightly favored before the meet because of the alleged weakness of the Kansans on the track, but the runners came through with surprising results.
