THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1942 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE Softball Playoffs Under Way Friday The schedule: Friday at 4:30 Phi Delt vs. winner 2nd place Div. IV, field 2. (to be decided tonight). Rate vs. Theta Tau field 6. Beta vs. Theta Tau, field 6 Rock Chalk Co-op vs. Pflugerville Pfashes, field 5. By PAUL MOSER These games are the first scheduled that are to be played in intramural softball playoffs. The first two teams in each of the four divisions make up a brackett of eight teams. The champion is then decided by a "sudden death" type elimination. The teams to reach the playoffs are: Phi Delt and Pflugerville from Division I, Beta and Phi Gam from Division II, Carruth and Theta Tau from Division III, Rock Chalk and either Pi K. A. or T.K.E., from Division IV. Phi Gam 4. Delt's 3 In the game that decided the second place winner in Division II, the Phi Gam's edged out the Delt's, 4 to 3. Bill Palmer was on the mound for the winners and Hoyt Baker hurled for the losers. For the first three innings it appeared as if Baker would have himself a shutout victory, but in the fourth Phi Gam power came to life. Bob Voelker worked Baker for a walk to reach first and then Earl "Swede" Olson sent the Delt center fielder running after the hardest hit ball of the game. It went for three bases, knocking in the first Phi Gam run of the game. A few moments later Olson scored on a long fly to the outfield. Another run was added in the sixth when Billy Phillips got a walk and then came rumping home on Palmers two base hit. The Phi Gam's won the game in the seventh when Voelker scored the winning run. Voelker walked to start the inning, Olson then hit a sharp infield grounder that the Delt shortstop let roll through him for two bases. A few moments later Voelker scored on Chain Healy's long fly to the left fielder. The Delt's started the scoring in the first. Jim McIntire walked to start the inning, stole second on a wild pitch, took third on Baker's hit, and then stole home. Another run was added in the top half of the fourth when Howard Babcock drove a hit that was good for three bases, and then came home a few minutes later on a long fly to the outfield. The Delt scoring ended in the fifth when Baker drove a hard line drive, deep into left field, that was good for three bases, but instead of stopping at third he came on home with the last Delt run. The box: r h e Delt 100 110 0 3 7 2 Phi Gam 000 201 1 4 8 3 Batteries: Delt, Baker and Roberts; Phi Gam, Palmer and Phillips. Howard Cook Receives Commission in Marines Howard Eugene Cook, 21, a student at the University in '40 and '41, was this week commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserves. He received his "Wings of Gold" at the Naval Air Station near Jacksonville, Fla., where he reported last September, after completing elimination flight training at the Kansas City Naval Reserve Air Base. Cook is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard L. Cook of Parsons; he attended Parsons high school before attending the University. "Hippo" To Defend Shot Title Contestants at the 11th annual Oklahoma track and field meet in Norman will shoot at a fancy set of records. Five of the marks are ten years old, the 200 meters dash, broad jump, shot put, 1,500 meters and 3,000 meters steeplechase. Alfred "Hippo" Howell, 225-pound state tax commissioner who was a University of Oklahoma shot-putter 14 years ago, holds the shot put record of 49 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches, set in 1932, and annually comes back each year to defend his titles without a bit of practice. Last year at Shawnee, Howell won the Oklahoma A. A. U. meet discus throw and placed in the shot put. Kansas Trackmen To Big Six Meet Jayhawk track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss left for Lincoln, Neb., with a squad of 13 men today to compete in the Big Six outdoor meet which is to be held tomorrow and Saturday. Preliminaries of the meet, being held on the University of Nebraska track will be run on Friday with the finals being staged Saturday afternoon. Trainer Dean Nesmith and Del Davidson will drive with the team. Kansas Plays Hawks in K.C. Men making the trip are Dick Edwards, Don Pollom, Milo Farneti, Charlie Black, Jim Cordell, Bill Brownlee, Vern Birney, Ralph Schaake, Eldridge King, Val Schloesser, Alan Houghton, Russ Mount, and Ed Todd. Fresh from a win over the Hawks here, Kansas' baseball team tangles with Rockhurst at Ruppert stadium in Kansas City tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen announced today that Knute Kresie would hurl for Kansas; Rockhurst will use Buzz Muckenthal, who whiffed nine Kansas batters in four innings during a previous appearance against Kansas. The following men will make the trip: Gene Alford, Gerald Boynton, Del Green, Dan Brune, Irven Hayden, Warren Hodges, T. P. Hunter, Ted Hill, Marshall Hulett, Bob Innis, Larry Johnston, Knute Kresie, John Krum, Denzil Gibbens, Dean Martin, Pete Teichgraeber, and Calvert Winter. SIDELINES---- (continued from page four) make the stab over his shoulder in the eighth . . . Irven Hayden and Denzil Gibbens poked out singles in the eighth only to see the next three men fly out . . . To Decide Big Six Since Missouri stopped Oklahoma 11-10 in a 10-inning affair at Columbia this week, the two games between Mizzou and Kansas at Tiger Town next week will determine whether the Tigers continue to rule the conference baseball roost or hand the crown over to the Sooners . . . Oklahoma has written finis to its schedule with six wins and one defeat. Missouri has four triumphs to its credit against one loss. Missouri must win both games with Kansas next week to tie Oklahoma, but since the Tigers play more conference games than the Sooners, Missouri can become undisputed king by going the rest of the season undefeated. Up Iowa way, the Iowa State Cyclones have handled 298 tries in nine games with only six bobbles—a fielding average of .979. Al Stroh- bem, sophomore Cyclone hurler, has worked six games for Iowa State, winning five of them. He has given up eight earned runs, 31 hits, 10 walks, and struck out 25 men in 38 innings of flinging. KANSAS DOWNS--in the Colorado Rockies this Summer Combine Summer Study with Mountain Recreation MANY COURSES for UNDERGRADUATES (continued from page four) Kirk hit, later to be clipped between second and third by Green and Krum, and Calihan singled to score Mitchell.

After Mitchell had been stopped at home plate by Hodges, Calihan took a base on balls, and Leo Muckenthaler hit a single which was fumbled allowing Kirk and Calihan to score.
