Joggerst Cooks with Gas
Sophomore Owen Joggerst amply filled the spiked shoes left vacant by Don Walters, who joined the air corps, as the Mizzou meteor ran off with the 100 and 220 at the Big Six last Saturday. Despite the terrific build-up given "Red" Littler, Nebraska speed demon, as having a bad leg, there was only one reason for Joggerst's swamping the carrot-topped Cornhusker in both events—Joggerst was just naturally better. Week before the Big Six, Joggerst won the century in a du.l meet with Nebraska which was held at Columbia. His time was 9.7, but two false starts had disqualified Littler, however, when the two runners matched strides in the 220, Joggerst came off the winner.
Anti-climax
Oklahoma's two track greats, Orv Mathews and Bill Lyda, wrote anticlimax finishes to brilliant college careers at Lincoln last Saturday, but both showed the fortitude of a winner as they went down to defeat . . . Mathews, an antique so far as college competition goes, had been king of the conference dash men all season till Saturday. A pulled muscle at the start of the century kept him from placing in either that run or the furlong. His only reaction to a bum leg was a smile . . . "I guess he's human after all," exclaimed many of the competitors as they saw Bill Lyda fade from the picture in the half mile. After batting a tough wind to hang up a 48 quarter, Lyda was too sick to even think of starting the half soon after, but that's what he did. His teammates held him up as he took off his warm-ups. He struggled through the half and finished with a "There, I finished the blankety blank race."
Wildcat Workhorse
Al Rues, sophomore distance man from Kansas State, was kind enough to break the wind for Bobby Ginn, Nebraska, and Ray Rayl, Missouri, in the mile and for Dick Smethers of the Sooners in the two mile. Rues, who ran a 4:19.9 mile against Drake the week before the meet, ruined his chances in winning these two races by adding the wind to his stiff list of competitors . . . Dick Ed-wards of Kansas, narrowly missed victory in the half mile by the same manner. He led by 10 or 15 yards all the way only to be caught in the home stretch and beaten by a yard or two by Ginn.
Playing Hazards
Harold Hunt, skybound Cornhusker vaulter, had two elements to contend with in establishing a new pole vault record at 14 feet 5-8 inch. The wind kept blowing the standards down, and Ed Wibbels, Nebraska, Dick Peters, Kansas State, and the rest of the discus throwers, persisted in tossing their platters across the field and skidding them across the vault runway . . . Howard "What a Man" Debus should serve the Huskers as a one man track team in a year or two if the war doesn't interfere. Debus, a sophomore, won the Big Six javelin throw with 202 feet 2 inches, placed second in the vault at 13 feet 1 inch.

Phi Delt's, Pflashes Play For Softball Title Today
--single run in the four when Palmer and Conley produced' another pair of twin hits. The Phi Gam scoring ended in the fifth when a walk to McSpadden, and hits by Olson, Chain Healy, and "Sparky" McSpadden produced two more runs.
The intramural softball playoffs will be finished tonight with the Phi Delt's meeting the Pflugerville Pflashes at 4:30 or softball diamond No.1. These teams have gone through the regular season and the playoffs with the minimum number of defeats and in impressive style.
By Paul Moser
The Pflashes advanced into the finals by virtue of a 17 to 0 win over the Beta's. Murray Brown was more than effective for the Pflashes holding the $ ^{9}$
The Pflashes advanced into win over the Beta's. Murray I for the Pflashes, holding the heretofore hard hitting Beta's to only three safeties. In the meantime Pfitsch and company were jumping all over Vance Hall, Beta pitcher, for many hits and numerous walks.
John Pattie opened the Pfuger-ville half of the first inning with a walk. He was advanced when John Pfitsch got a base blow, and they both scored on Don Ettinger's hit. Ettinger scored when M. Brown's grounder was fumbled. The Pflashes were held scoreless the second inning but came to life again in the third.
Pattie again walked to open the inning, and Pfitsch once again advanced him with a hit. Ettinger then came through with his second hard blow of the game to advance both of the base runners. Charlie Black then brought in the men on base with his hit and scored himself a few minutes later on a long fly to the outfield.
Charles Moore opened the fourth inning with his first hit of the ball game. Don Blair walked to put two men on base. Successive hits by Pattie, Pfitsch, Ettinger, Black, Don Baumunk, Moore, and Blair, sand-wicked with a walk to Buescher gave the Pflashes ten runs and the game.

In the other semi-final game the Phi Delt's managed to defeat the Phi Gam's, 8 to 6. Ray Evans was on the mound for the winners and Bill Palmer hurled for the losers.
The Phi Delt's took advantage of every break of the game to eke out their victory. Palmer was wild in spots and gave up a large number of walks.
The Phi Gam's opened their scoring in the second when successive hits by Larry McSpadden, Bill Palmer, and John Conley produced two runs to put the Phi Gam's back in the ball game. Another run was added in the third on hits by Conrad Voelker, John Hertron, and Earl "Swede" Olson.
The Phi Delt's closed their scoring in the fifth when walks to Huebert and Evans, sandwiched between hits by Hutch Walker and Wilson, produced four runs to ice the ball game.
The Phi Delt's opened the first inning with a two run outburst to take the lead. Dan Huebert, Warren Newcomer, and Ray Evans all walked. Forrest Wilson then came through to send two runs scampering across the plate.
Two more runs were added in the second inning on a walk to Wilson Fitzpatrick, and hits by Ed Moses and John Lynch.
The Phi Gam's again scored a

Football ★★★
No Spectator
Rationing
Football crowds at Oklahoma's 1942 home contests will be big as ever if some method can be figured out to transport fans to the games, believes Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, Sooner athletic director.
The war is a tremendously serious proposition but President Roosevelt's recent endorsement of professional baseball and the plea for more, instead of less, participation in contact sports by heads of various branches of the nation's army, navy and air corps proves that there is still a place for sports even in time of war, Haskell holds.
Haskell believes the proximity to Norman of several big war industry plants is bound to help football attendance this fall.

Jays To Columbia Baseball Title At Stake As Kansas Meets Tigers
In the crucial game of the Big Six conference, the Kansas Jayhawkers will meet the Missouri nine at Columbia this afternoon. The game will decide whether or not Missouri wins the Big Six baseball title this spring.
Missouri handed Iowa State two defeats last week. On Friday Bill "Bobo" Spencer pitched Missouri to a 6 to 4 win over the Iowa men. Against the same team on Saturday, Missouri won again by a score of 8 to 1, with Herb Gregg and Chris Fehr each getting home runs for the Tigers. Missouri defeated Oklahoma a week ago 11 to 10.
Should Kansas win over Missouri today, Oklahoma would be the Big Six champ. Kansas would hold undisputed position of third place in the conference. If Kansas loses it will leave a tie for fourth place among Iowa State, Nebraska, and Kansas. Kansas State would end up
in third place.
T. P Hunter is slated to pitch for Kansas today, however, there is some uncertainty and Kresie may take over.
Men who made the trip to Columbia with Coach "Phog" Allen are Eugene Alford, Delmar Green, Dan Brune, Irvin Hayden, Warren Hodges, T. P. Hunter, Marshall Hulett, Bob Innis, Larry Johnston, Knute Kresie, John Krum, Denzil Gibbens, Dean Martin, and Otto Teichgraeber.
