The Pi K.A.'s scored their two runs in the first and the last innings. In the first inning Grant Hunter led off with a single and a few moments later was brought home by Crawford's double. In the sixth Jack Engel sent a hard hit ball down the third base line for a hit. At this point Dunn had a streak of wildness and permitted Engel to steal all the way home.

SIDELINES---javelin throw but now has a sore arm. Dick Edwards, returning to form, should be good for at least a third in the mile and half mile, and Cordell will be battling Debus of Nebraska for second in the pole vault.
(continued from page four)
Mizzou, weakened by the loss of its sophomore pole vaulter, Billy Rothwell and its ace sprinter, Don Walters, both of whom have joined the air corps, should find tough sliding in edging Kansas State out of third place. The Tigers have a sure first in Elmer Aussiker for the shot put and possible firsts with Paul Meyers in the high jump and Owen Joggerst in the dashes. Kansas State, while it has its only strong bid for first in Darden, will pick up points in most of the running events with Jim Upham in the 220 and 440, Jimmy Johns in the 440 and 880, and Rufus Miller in the half and mile. Rues will bring the Wildcats bids in the mile and two mile affairs.
Kansas Over Iowa State
While Kansas occupied the cellar position in the indoor meet, the Jayhawkers have been improving and should nudge Iowa State out of fifth place Saturday. Iowa State bested Kansas in dual competition, but as George Veekner, Cyclone athletic director put it, "Kansas has some men who will place in the conference meet." . . . Iowa State's best bet will be John Heggen, track captain and crack high and low hurdler. Paul Darling may gather a few points for the Cyclones in the high jump, pole vault, or the discus. . . . Hargiss pins his hopes for a first place in the Big Six affair in the throwing arm of Milo Farneti. Farneti has downed all competition in the conference in the
William A. Gluesing, of General Electric's House of Magic, Demonstrating the Lighting of an Electric Lamp without Wires.
Ralph Schaake should place well up in the shot if he continues to perform in the 46-foot bracket as he did at Ames last week. Don Pollom, showing vast improvement in the century and furlong, may bring the Jayhawks points in the dashes...Kansas will miss the services of Red Ettinger in the high jump and broad jump.
