FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Not till yesterday's baseball contest got under way did the cloud-filled sky cut loose some good old unmitigated precipitation. As soon as the game was called, Mr. Weatherman desisted in pouring out that stuff which is good for crops but has no place in a ball game. There was just enough rain to turn a serious attempt at playing ball into a comedy of errors. Batters would take a hefty cut at the ball, and their bats would go flying toward second base—too slippery to hold. It was too difficult to tell if the batters were trying to jitterbug or bat as they wallowed in mud at home plate. Once Rockhurst catcher Leo Muckenthaler went after a fly to the right of the plate, ended up sitting in a puddle of water sans the ball
. . The other half of the Mucken-thaler combination, "Buzz," who hurled for the Hawks, just ignored the rain, went to work striking out nine batters in four innings. At the rate he was gong, he would have fanned 20 batters in a regulation game. . Kansas' second-to-none infield pulled two nice double plays out of the mud to keep Rockhurst scoring at a minimum. In nine innings, Krum, Kresie, Green, Hulett, and Co. should have snapped off four double plays from their showing in the first four. That makes five double killings for the Javhawks in four games.
Cleveland Hand-Me-Downs
The white (before the game, that is) suits were given to the Rockhurst crew by the Cleveland Indians, in fact the sleeves of the suits still bore the emblem of the Cleveland club. Rockhurst, after suffering financial losses from a poor football season, tossed baseball out of the budget. The Hawk players got together, have been sponsoring the game on their own hook. They have thrown a dance to gather funds for equipment. After games in the home park, Rockhurst players have been passing the hat to help meet expenses. .
Meet Hawks in Basketball
J. B. "Red" Anderson, basketball and baseball coach for Rockhurst, suggested to "Phog" Allen, Jayhawk basketball and baseball tutor, that Rockhurst and Kansas get together for a basketball game in Municipal auditorium next year. . Anderson said that the Rockhurst alumni would particularly welcome such a match. They want to schedule a

Haylettmen To Run Tomorrow
K-State, Jayhawks Tangle in Season's Second Dual Meet
W. H. "Bill" Hargiss' thin clads will match strides against Ward Haylett's track men from Kansas State on the stadium track at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. This will be the second dual meet for these state rivals this year. The Wildcats bested Kansas 692-3-34 indoors early in February.
Dick Edwards, Kansas distance mainstay, will renew rivalry with the Wildcat's sophomore sensation, Al Rues, who placed second in the Big Six indoor mile this winter. Don Pollom and Ed Darden, K-State captain, will be continuing a rivalry in the hurdles which dates back to high school days when Pollom ran timbers for Topeka and Darden for Manhattan. At the indoor dual meet, Darden bested Pollom in a photo-finish in the highs.
Coach Haylett's team's greatest strength lies in the legs of such distance runners as Jimmy Johns, Rufus Miller, Don Borthwick, Jim Cunningham, and Jim Upham. One of the best quarter milers in the Big Six, Upham broke his own record in the quarter in the dual meet here this winter.
Coach Hargiss will be counting heavily on Pollom, Val Schloesser, and Don Evans to bring in points in the dashes. In two new members of the Jayhawk team—Charlie Black and Don Ettinger—Hargiss has possible firsts in high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and discus throw.
Following is a list of events, the times they will be held and names of entrants.
Milo Farneti, Jayhawk javelin tosser, should have things his own way in his event. Man with the best record in the shot is K-State's Kent Duewe with Ralph Schaake a close second.

GAME TIED 4-ALL K.U.-Hawk Fray Stopped A Wash Out
Despite the handicap of having to heave a water-logged ball from a slippery, muddy pitcher's mound, Rockhurst's big "Buzz" Muckenthaler, who hurls portsided, whiffed nine Kansas batters in four innings. Batters found the situation anything but favorable as wet bats slipped from their hands when they swung, faltering in the mud.
While adverse conditions helped
With the score tied 4-all going into the fifth frame of yesterday's Rockhurst - K. U. fray on the Jayhawk rain-drenched diamond, Jupiter Pluvius stepped in to win the contest hands down by shutting out both teams with a momentary cloudburst.

Umpire "Doc" Bice called the game, in the first half of the fifth inning as a drizzle, which had turned the playing field into a mudhole, broke into a downpour. Rockhurst had a runner on second and one away when the rain halted the game.

cause five errors in the four innings played, Kansas' infield came through with two brilliant double killings. Del Green, Marshall Hulett, and Knute Kresie executed a double play in the second stanza with John Krum, Green, and Kresie duplicating the feat in the third.
Krum, with two of Kansas' three safeties and one run to his credit, led the Jayhawks at the plate. John Mitchell, gathering two runs on one hit, was outstanding for the Hawks in batting.
Bud Cordes started the Rockhurst scoring in the first frame by reaching base via a fielder's choice. Doug Kire singled, and John Mitchell went to first as Cordes was nipped at third on a fielder's choice.
John Scanlin's line drive, which was wumbled, scored Kirk and put Mitchell on third. Mitchell came home on a wild pitch before the attack ended.
The Jayhawks retaliated with a run in their half of the first when Hodges reached first on a fielder's choice, went to second on a passed ball, and scored on the error of handling Kresie's hit.
