FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Records Threatened
Two records most likely to fall at the Big Six outdoor track and field carnival in Lincoln today and tomorrow are the pole vault and the half mile. . . . Harold Hunt, Nebraska sky-scraping vaulter, who holds the conference record at 13 feet 11 1-8 inches, has soared over 14 feet several times this year. He may better his own mark for a new record Saturday. . . . "Bullet Bill" Lyda, Oklahoma's running dynamo, has traveled the half in 1:49.7, which puts in the shade Glenn Cunningham's Big Six mark of 1:52.2 which he established in 1933. With Bobby Ginn, Nebraska mile king, who scampered a 1:54.7 half at West Point, chasing him, Lyda may ring up a new record in the 880. Nebraska a Sure Thing
With such performers as Hunt, Ginn, Bill Smutz, Ralph King, Howard Debus, Ed Wibbles, Red Littler, and Vic Schelch rolling up the points, Nebraska should be out of hailing distance of the other Big Six squads by the time Saturday night rolls around. Littler is a strong contender for top honors in the 100 and 440; Ginn should dominate the mile over sophomore Al Rues of Kansas State who has been his only real competition all year; Hunt is as good as first in pole vault; Schelch is a strong contender in the shot; and Wibbels, Big Six record holder in the discus at 160 feet $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches, should take that event. Debus, with a toss of 204 foot to his credit, will be a threat in the javelin. King and Smutz will be battling Kansas State's captain, Ed Darden, for top honors in the hurdle events. Darden diced Smutz at the finish in the indoor meet.
Sooners Have the Runners
"Grand pappy" Orv Mathews, cigar burning 28-year old comet has been sweeping most of the century races in the conference and should stage a close race with Littler Saturday. Lyda should repeat his indoor record by taking both the 440 and 880 dashes, and Dick Smethers should retain his two-mile crown. Ken Faris should give Oklahoma first in broad jump ..

Phi Gam's Enter Second Round
Carruth Beaten 4-3 in Pitcher's Battle; Teke's Out-Slug Pi K. A.'s To Win, 13-2
By Paul Moser
In the two games played last night, one decided the second place winner of Division IV, and the other was the first game of the playoffs. The TKE's were victors in the first game and the Phi Gam's advanced to the second round in the top bracket of the playoffs.
Once again the Phi Gam's took advantage of the breaks in the game to win another close victory, this time over Carruth Hall, 4 to 3. It was a tight pitchers battle all the way between
Bill Palmer, who hurled for the winners, and Bob Corder, who pitched for the losers.
The Phi Gam's took advantage of an unsteady start by Corder to push over three runs in the first inning. Bill Walker started the rally by driving a hard hit ball that was the first extra-base hit of the ball game. John Herron, chunky Fiji third baseman, then lined out another hit to bring Walker home with the first run of the ball game. With one down and Herron on base, Earl "Swede" Olson brought his long bat to the plate and cracked out another hit, and a few moments later scored, when Larry McSpadden singled.
The Phi Gam's were held scoreless for the next five innings as Corder tightened up and didn't allow a man on base, but then in the sixth with one down Roscoe Hambric and Walker managed to bunch two hits and score the deciding tally.
Carruth Hall started the scoring in the first half of the first inning when Don Erb cracked out a sharp base blow, and then came home a few moments later on a long fly to the Phi Gam outfield.
From this point on, Palmer took complete command of the situation and shut them out for the next five innings. Then in the sixth with the score three to one against them the boys from Carruth exploded to the game up. Gerald Dick and John Hagen took advantage of Palmet's momentary wildness to walk. Then Erb came to bat and cracked out a sharp two base hit to score both Dick and Haren.
The box:
r h e
Carruth 100 002 0 3 5 1
Phi Gam 300 001 x 4 7 1
Batteries: Carruth, Corder and Banks; Phi Gam, Palmer and Phillips.
In the game that decided the second place winner of Division IV, the TKE's unleashed a fourteen hit attack against Joe Crawford to swamp the Pi K. A's, 13 to 2. Kenny Dunn was on the mound for the winners and turned in a creditable performance, giving up only four hits.
The TKE's started it off in the first inning when successive hits by Dunn, Oliver Bryan, followed by a home run by Ed "Swede" Linquist produced three runs and sent the TKE boys off to a lead that they never relinquished.
For the next two innings the Pi K. A. pitcher tightened to hold them scoreless, but in the fourth the TKE's again came to life. Hits by "Hub" Ulrich, Dunn, Linquist, Henry Fero, John Motley, and Tolbert Anthony, sandwiched by a two run error, produced seven more runs.
The scoring ended in the fifth when Dean Mitchelson, Linquist, Bob (continued to page five)
Rockhurst To Open KU Court Schedule
The University of Kansas basketball team will play Rockhurst College in the opening game of next year's season on December 11, coach Forrest C. Allen announced today. The game will be played in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City. This game, the last to be scheduled, completes the eighteen game schedule for next year.
"However," Allen states, "both teams have a large following in Kansas City, and it will give fans a good chance to see the two teams play." Allen estimates that the University has approximately three times as many alumni in Kansas City as does M. U.
Allen thinks the idea of playing Rockhurst at that time is a good one, because a lot of University fans will not have a chance to see K. U. in action next year with tire shortage and gasoline rationing staring them in the face.
Other reasons why Allen likes the idea are: the University five will play the Great Lakes Naval Training team on the same court on January 30, so the more acquainted the men are with the court, the better. Also, playing Rockhurst in-Kansas City should attract a big crowd and should provide a good source of revenue. Also the University basketball squad loses no time at school when playing in Kansas City.

Each division has given its two best teams into the playoffs and the games promise to be hard fought throughout the tournament.

The teams from Division I, seem to be the strongest. The Phi Delit's, with Ray Evans on the mound, have a strong aggregation. The Pflugerville Flashes, other team from Div-

Frosh Ruling On Block At Big Six Meet
Prof. W. W. Davis, University Big Six faculty representative, will attend the meeting of the Big Six representatives to be held in the Muehlebach hotel, Kansas City, May 22 and 23.
The Big Six conference has been recodifying some of its rules, Davis said, and is about half through with the job. Decisions will be made concerning the rules at the meeting.
The Big Six conference meeting will be composed of faculty representatives and of directors. The directors are for the main part executive while the faculty representatives have ultimate control of actions taken on important matters.
As a special order of business, the representatives will take up the matter of freshman and first-year entrants from junior colleges participating in Big Six competition next year. Davis said that the representatives probably stood about equally divided on the question.
The two groups usually meet together, but Davis stated that be-(Continued to page five)
