Cyclones Start Baseball Drill With 23 Players
Ames, Iowa-Starting the 1945 baseball season without the services of pitcher Mel Kleen, the Iowa State Cyclone baseball team may have a rough row to hoe. Coach Chick Sutherland moved his squid outside Monday as light drills started.
The squad has been cut to 23 members, and Sutherland will start organization of candidates to see what material he has on hand with which to build his team for the coming season. Gene Pheips, Wells, Minn., letterman from last year's squad, is expected to report at a later date to bolster the lineup. In addition to Pheips, Sutherland has Don Halverson, Tom Chudomelka, Dick Scott, and Howard Voelker, who have seen action with the squads of last year. Chudomelka was on the 1943 team but spent a year in the army since that time.
As it appears now, Iowa State College will be the only Big Six school to have a baseball team this season. Consequently, there will be no Big Six schedule. Last year, the Cyclones played college teams from the University of Kansas and the University of Minnesota and service teams from Ottumwa and the Seahawks. It is expected that service teams will make up the major part of opposition this season in the absence of college baseball teams.

Four Class AA High Schools Tangle Tonight
All four games are expected to be close, for the cage squads seem to be fairly evenly matched this year. El Dorado, however, is given an edge over the Capital City five, while the Salina-Columbus contest appears to be anybody's ball game. El Dorado and Columbus won the semi-final championships by downing Salina and Topeka respectively.
Tomorrow the four class A and B teams will go into action. Pairings were announced earlier this week. Saturday night will see the finals in all three divisions. Advance ticket sales, according to Emporia sources, have not been too lively as yet, although the crowd may possibly exceed current hopes. Anthony, Halstead, Eureka, and Madison give every indication of supporting the tourney with crowds of spectators, having purchased considerable blocks of tickets already.

Sooner Sleight-of-hand?
By EARL BARNEY
more examples of that old Sooner luck comes to us from down Norman way. At last Saturday's 22nd annual Southwest Exposition track and field meet at Ft. Worth, Tex., Coach John Jacobs thinclads wive five of six coin flips for trophies and ribbons.
The Oklahomaans tied with Texas A. & M. in the mile relay, but won the flip to determine who would receive the handsome trophy, and also won three of the four individual trophies. Bill Wilson, Sooner polevaulter, tied two Texas opponents for first place but won the "ood" man flap for the first place trophy.
All this, of course, couldn't help but remind us of the Drake Relays of 1928 when four men tied for first in the pole vault event. Among these four were Bruce Drake, now Sooner basketball coach, and Johnny Bryce, both members of Jacob's Oklahoma team. On the flip to determine who would receive the trophies, Drake won the gold watch and Bryce the gold medal. Such luck! . . .

What they say about ElDorado
"Boys who stood around all year suddenly carried out their assignments and did them well. EIDorado suddenly developed into a potent basketball machine. One could scarcely recognize the team that tied for last place in the Valley." Another

critic: "If the finals had been run off last week there is no doubt in my mind that the Wildcats would have continued their rush straight to a title. They were playing good ball. Don't get the idea that they won by flukes! They were just better than their opponents, especially on the nights they met and defeated Hutchinson, Wellington, and Salina in that order."

"Columbus was what surprised yours truly most. Unheralded and practically overlooked in watching Chanute, the Titans smacked the state champions . . . trumped Chanute . . . and then coming through against Topeka . . .
Comments from others on Columbus
"In their march the Titans have beaten teams which tried to outrun their zone defense—and they have beaten teams which tried to freeze the ball outside the zone . . . Chanute lost trying to outrun them and Topeka found the southeast Kansas outfit too accurate at the free throw line."
