Missouri Sweeps Baseball Series
Even with Forrest "Knute" Kresie, ace Jayhawk pitcher, in fine fettle, the University baseball team still could not catch the Missouri Tigers yestreday and as a result dropped a 3-1 decision at Columbia in the second game of a two-game series.
It was the fourth straight Tiger win over Kansas and the twelfth out of thirteen games this year. The victory strengthened Missouri's hold on first place in the Big Six standing over Oklahoma.
Frank Graham, junior right-hander, pitched his second victory over the Jays in five days. He was the winning pitcher in the 18-5 rout of Kansas here Tuesday.
The Tigers collected only five safe hits off Kresie, but two of these were triples by Paul Christman, ballyhooed first basemen, and Herb Gregg, diminutive center fielder.
Missouri's Tigers edged past the Jayhawks in a tight contest Friday afternoon at Columbia to strengthen their hold on first place in the Big Six.
The Bengal's pitching ace, Bill Spencer, shaded John Burge in a pitching duel. Each hurler gave up eight hits, but Spencer whiffed nine men to Burge's three and allowed only one base on balls with Burge walking four.
Kansas Leads Early
Kansas took the lead in the first half of the fourth frame when Burge drove home Knute Kresie, who got on base through Harry Ice's error.
The Tigers forged ahead in the sixth as Quevereaux tripled and scored on Ed Fridewald's single. Dean Martin Scores
Missouri knotted the count in the last half of the fourth when Paul Christman singled, advanced on Ken Queveraux's sacrifice, and came home to Jim Starmer's single.
Two runs in the seventh assured a Bengal victory. Spencer poiled a double, and Buck Nevin and Christman singled for the two counters.
In the seventh inning the Jayhawked pulled even when Dean Martin singled and scored on hits by Bob Allen and Ed Hall.
Score by innings:
Kansas 000 100 100
Missouri 000 101 20x
Batteries; for Kansas, Burge and Pierce; for Missouri, Spencer and Quevereaux.

Netsters Smash K-State 5-1
Jayhawk netmen downed Kansas State, 5 to 1, in matches played on the varsity courts yesterday afternoon.
Friday afternoon an undefeated Oklahoma team made a clean sweep of its matches with Jayhawk netmen.

Doubles—Howard and Voelker,
(K), defeated Platner and Horacek,
(K-S), 6-4, 6-3; Bob Bond and
Duane Smith, (K), defeated Bender
and Bunker, (K-S).
A quick look at the draft situation as it will affect Big Six football next fall:
NEBRASKA'S Rose Bowl powerhouse will sustain the hardest blow. . . Six Cornhuskers are already toting muskets instead of pigskins, including Eddie Schwartzkopf, all-conference guard. Lettermen Wayne Blue, fullback who ran wild against the Jayhawks for three touchdowns last fall; Willard Bunker and Fred Preston, ends; and Howard Kelly, center, are registered and waiting their summons. . . Vike Francis, fulback; Jerome Prochaska, end; and Clarence Herndon, tackle, are in advanced R.O.T.C. units and not subject to call for the present.
OKLAHOMA'S Sooners have their collective fingers crossed with 13 draft eligibles on the squad, although it is not likely that many besides Roger Eason, senior tackle; Jack Haberlein, place-kicker, and Bill Mattox, junior halfback, will be lost. . Among the married Oklahmans supporting families are Orville Matthews and Marvin Whited, star backs.
MISSOURI has a roster full of potential draftees but only Bill Cunningham, fullback; Jack Landers, tackle; Ralph Metzinger, tackle; and Charles Beattie, wingback, have received questionnaires.
ONLY ONE Kansas State player, Center Dick Wolgast, is assured of a bunk in the army. . The Wildcats have only five players over 21 and four of these are candidates for advanced R.O.T.C. . They are Jim Watkins, end; Lawrence Duncan, tackle, Gene Snyder, halfback, and Francis Gwin, quarterback.
RAY DONELS, Iowa State coach, is not worried about Uncle Sam making serious inroads on his squad. Melvin Happe, tackle, and Stanley Brown, center, will be his only casualties. . The other members of the squad aren't old enough.
GWINN HENRY loses Herb Hartman and Jay Kern at guard for sure, but other players may be called before the summer is over. . Ralph Miller, with his 1B classification, appears to be safe.
