Game notes: Yesterday's play proved but one thing so far as the Jayhawk baseball team is concerned —Kansas has the best team, both at the plate and in the field, that has done business at Mt. Oread in the last three or four years. . . Each team yesterday made one earned run, but Kansas weakened just once long enough in the seventh to allow the soldiers to push across the deciding edge. . . It is a shame that the Jayhawk baseball schedule was curtailed this year just when Kansas has a team which should compare favorably with any in the Big Six—even Oklahoma's bunch of pseudo-amateurs. . .
homa's bunch of pseudo miniatures. . . "Phog" Allen's boys showed both the ability and the desire to win yesterday. They outhit, outfielded and outplayed the Ft. Leavenworth clut the entire nine innings. John Krum Del Green, Marshall Hulett put on a fine display of air-tight defense for the Kansas infield. ... When Jayhawk prospects were bright in the early innings of the game, Bob Atwell expressed the sentiments of the whole Kansas rooting section with "We look like a major league club, so help me! Let's go!" During one of Kansas' rallies catcher Hodges was irked by the fact that some Jayhawk bats were laying with their handles crossed (an unlucky sign, he said), but by the time he had relictified the situation, the Jayhawk threat had gone cold. . . . Del Green faded back to the outfield to catch a hard hit fly to retire the soldiers in the third inning; he climaxed his catch with a back flip in which he spiked Dean Martin. . . . It seems Del was covering more than his territory when he collided with Dean. Up popped "Phog" with "Yell louder, yell louder! (Man taking a fly in border territory is supposed to call for it). . . . It was just like old home week for Kansas' hurler "Knute" Kresie, yesterday when he faced Warren Kustenborder and Willis Seal who were his teammates in semi-pro ball at Topeka, and Ralph Houk who caught Kresie on the championship Lawrence B.J. club of 1938. . . While Knute was keeping the soldier nine of Leavenworth well occupied with his pitches, his young brother, Bryce (who will enroll at the University next fall) was hurling a no hit, no run game for Auburn high. Young Kresie was good for three hits in four tries of his no hitter. . . . On the service club's side of the ledger: No cleaner, better bunch of sports than Ft. Leavenworth ever played at Kansas. Arguments and near fights are usually on of the spiciest bits of the game when the Jayhawk host another college team, but yesterday's contest went according to Hoyle from the umpire's point of view. . . Only once did the ump meet opposition when big "Red" Knoblach rushed in from second to protest a close decision. On reconsidering, Red dropped a few friendly words, returned to second and the game rolled smoothly on. . . It was no secret that the Fort nine wasn't in condition. They had little trouble in chasing flies, but grounders were just too much trouble for the infield to bend down to get; the result: five errors for the soldiers. . . . Both teams boasted first class batteries for the

Soldier Nine Nips Kansas 3-1
Soldier Nine N Seventh Inning Errors Decide Jayhawk's Opener
By ALAN B. HOUGHTON, Kansan Sports Editor
Two errors, a walk, and a two-base hit were enough for Ft. Leavenworth's soldier nine to push across two tallies in the sixth inning of a tight, clean cut ball game and enabled them to shade the Jayhawk batsmen 3-1 on the Kansas diamond yesterday.
With the score deadlocked 0-0 in the first half of the sixth inning, Oadis Swigart, soldier mound ace who hurls right handed but bats from the port side, started fireworks for the Fort nine by reaching first via while Swigart the error route.
Carl Pitcher, another left hander, reached first on an error, and diminutive Willie Seal drew the only pass issued the soldiers to fill the bases.
Price Fugit, poiled out a long base hit to send Swigart and Seal scampering home. Knute Kresie, Jayhawk hurler knuckled down to make the next man fly out and fanned the last to retire the side.
Krum Scores for Kansas
John Krum opened Kansas' half of the sixth with a sizzling two base hit. Kresie advanced Krum to third on a single. He came home on a fielder's choice of T. P. Hunter, lanky Jayhawk initial sacker, which clipped Kresie at second. Next batter hit into a double play—Seal to Charley Knoblach to Warren Custenborder—to squelch the Kansas flurry.
Leavenworth's final counter came in the seventh stanza when Ralph Houk, soldier catcher who got his start in Lawrence B.J. ball, blasted a single over second and was brought home on a double by Marty Krpan. Kresie struck out two of the next three batters with the other being thrown out at first.
Knas threatened in the last half of the second inning with B. Innis and Marshall Hulett leading off with singles. Dean Martin followed with a nicely laid bunt which naked bipped Innis at third. Del Green singled, putting Hulett on third, but the next two Kansas batters flew out.
Coach Allen's Jayhawkers had the better of everything but the score in this game which was the initial contest for both clubs. Kresie went the route for the Jayhawks with Swigart hurling the entire game for the soldiers. There were no changes in Leavenworth's line up for the nine innings; Allen substituted freely for Kansas in the waning stanzas.
In a mound duel Kansas' Kresie shaded the service team's Swigart, who has had duty with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League, Kresie whiffed nine batters, gave up six hits
while Swigart sent six men down on strikes and was nicked for 10 hits. Each hurler issued one bas on balls.
Defensively, Kansas' infield displayed sparkling fielding and snappy throwing. High point of the infield's performance was the seventh inning double play, Krum to Green to Hunter. With grounders rolling through the second base area, the soldier team showed lack of practice and team coordination.
Every man on the starting line up for Kansas got one hit, excepting Innis who garnered two safeties in three trips to the plate. Houk welldied the heavy stick at the plate for Leavenworth, getting two out of four.

Frosh Coaches Swim As Scrimmage Ends
BY JACK WERTS And JIM MARTIN
Spring football practice splashed to an end today when coaches Wayne Replogle, Ed Hall and Hub Ulrich were thrown into Potters lake following a rough and tumble scrimmage which lasted for an hour and a half.
Today was the last day of a six weeks' spring practice. The usual weekly scrimmage game was held between the Reds and the Blues with the score stand- $ ^{\textcircled{4}} $
the Blues with the score standing 7 to 7 at the end of the game.
The Reds depended on a mixed attack of passes and off-tackle smashes while the Blues had best luck on a series of running plays with occasional areal offensive. It was one of these occasional passes that scored for the Blue team when John Conley passed to Paul Turner who ran 25 yards to a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Don Johnson kicked the extra point.
The Reds scored early in the game. In the first quarter Gene Roberts, back, slithered through the line on an off tackle play to the left and ran 30 yards for a counter. The extra point was accounted for in a pass from Kenny Thompson to Paul Hardman.
Summary: Bases on balls off Kresie —1, off Swigart—1; Struck out by Kresie—9; by Swigart—6; Two base hits, Krum and Krpan; Double plays: Krum to Green to Hunter; Seal to Knoblach to Custenborder .
Both teams threatened several times throughout the game but were unable to score more than one touchdown apiece. Jack Tenenbaum, tackle, and letterman, has shown good progress all through the season, especially in defensive play.
He and Gene "Chief" Long, goes repeatedly crashed through to break up the Blue's running plays.
Paul Hardman and Otto Schnellbacher, the two ends for the Reds, drove numerous plays to the inside and spilled opposing backs for losses
Bob Githens, letterman and center for the Reds, played well offensively and defensively. His passes from center have been consistently accurate all sprin gand today was no exception. He spent the afternoon in spilling ball carriers who reached the secondary where he was backing up the line.
Kenny Thompson, back, for the Reds, was a good field general in selecting plays that clicked continually for the Red team and in spotting the weaknesses of the Blue team. With
