Beta vs. Sig Alph Today
Hogben To Face Alph's Bill Hall For Softball Cup
Its Beta versus Sig Alph in the finals of intramural softball this afternoon at 4:30.
The Beta's earned their chance to play in the finals, when they soundly defeated Phi Psi, 5 to 3, while the Sig Alph's were trouncing the Delta Tau Delta's by a score of 14 to 6.
Phi Psi obtained a two-run lead in the second inning after two men were out, but this lead was short lived when the Beta's came back in their half to score three times. They then added two more runs, and because of Psi walks and errors, the strong Tennessee street team was able to stop the late Phi Psi rally.
Hogben A Star
Behind the sensational softball pitching of Bill Hogben, the Beta's were able to set down a Phi Psi rally in the Psi half of the seventh inning. With the bases loaded and only one out, Hogben pitched superb tail to allow only one run to cross the plate during that inning.
Bob Stoland, and Steve Meade, Beta and Phi Psi first baseman respectively, led their teams in the pinches, while Bob Allen pitched very good ball for the losers. Catcher Bob O'Neil, and the Pierce brothers, Don and Dick, played outstanding ball for the Loving Cup boys.
Hall In Superb Form
Sig Alph scored six runs in the first inning, and then added eight more tallies before the game was over to take their decisive victory over the Delt's. Bill Hall, showed beautiful form as he has all through the playoffs, when he struck out 10 batters and kept the Delt's in check, except for the third inning, when the D.T.D.'s were able to put across their six runs, before being retired by some strong infield support.
Bruce Voran was about the only Delt able to solve Hall's pitching, when he connected with the ball in all of his three official trips to the plate. But in turn, Hall likewise had a perfect day at bat, getting three hits and a walk, and scoring four runs.
John Cluster was the hurler for the losers.
Alph's Seek Revenge
Observers are thinking that the Sig Alph's might gain revenge for an early defeat at the hands of the Beta's, when the Tennessee street boys put the Campus road boys down, 11 to 9 a couple of weeks ago. Both teams are hoping to win this all-important tussle.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
That hungry pack of "wolves" is on the lookout again for good high school athletes. That pack of "wolves" is the university coaches all over the country, whose main cry is "the hunt is on."
The many coaches are beginning to put the shining offers in front of the innocent high schools boys' eyes again, and this is the perfect time of year for the coaches to come up with something nice for the athletes.
By the grapevine news association, we have gathered the information that a Missouri coach was in Kansas City, Mo., the other day, talking to the Southwest high school athletes. This same source reeveals that he has jobs for Carl Nichols, state and city broadjump champion, Ed Matheny, all-star football and basketball on the championship Indian teams, Jack Mering, all-star football player, and Chalmers Woods, state dash champion in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes last year for this summer.
On top of that they will get $18 a month, and are supposed to save half. The he supposedly told each one, he would have a job for them next fall at M.U. and he also hinted that he could get them into any fraternity that each wanted.
1. By Alumni and Friends. The Conference is opposed to the recruiting of prospective students by alumni and friends, when the reason for such recruiting is that the prospective students are athletes. The conference will make continued and positive efforts to eliminate such recruiting.
Quotations from the Big Six rule book:
RECRUITING:
2. By members of Athletic Staffs. Members of athletic staffs shall not recruit prospective athletes. Staff members shall avoid the appearance of recruiting. Evidence that a staff member has been guilty of recruiting shall be considered grounds for action discontinuing the scheduling of contests with these teams with which he is connected or for which he has been recruiting.
J. Sands to Face Iowa State Today
Hospital Releases R. Miller
Ralph Miller, football and basketball star, was released from the Watkins Memorial hospital this morning, after he had been there eight days, following an operation on his famous knee.
Dr. C. B. Francisco, Kansas City bone specialist, operated on "Cappy's" knee Thursday, May 16, to remove the inner semi-lunar cartilage
The hospital reports Miller in good condition, but he will remain on crutches awhile.
Regulations governing recruiting by staff members are designed to relieve the coaches of any suggestion of responsibility for recruiting material for their teams.
AND FROM KANSAS CITY, KANSAS comes the news that a former Kansas basketball captain and now a successful cage coach, called a Wyandotte High School court star long distance, and told him to hop the next bus for Boulder, Colo., and that the player could have a job this summer and then the coach promised to take care of the boy for four years in school.
Meanwhile Kansas State officials have offered the same boy a job with the Kansas State Highway Department.
THEN THE QUESTION ARISES:
Why can't Kansas do something for their athletes? THE ANSWER: K.U.
just doesn't have the jobs to offer in the first place, and in the second place, it is against the Big Six rules (ha ha).
Senior architects will be honored at a farewell banquet tomorrow night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union at 6:30.
Honor Architects Tomorrow Night
The program is all-student, DeVon Carlson, e'41, president of the Architectural Society, said today, and will consist of speeches and musical numbers by a quartet.
Presentation of freshman and sophomore awards based on general work and of junior and senior awards based on design work alone will be made.
Students in the school are divided into two teams to promote the sale of tickets.

William H. Shannon, Coach.
With all chance of finishing the Big Six season out of the conference cellar gone with the wind, the Kansas Jayhawks took the field in Ames this afternoon hoping to breeze through the Iowa State Cyclones and in so doing make their last place average slightly respectable.
Jack Sands, Jayhawk southpaw, and Leon Wilson, Cyclone right-hander, were the opposing pitchers in today's game with "Red" Dugan and Henry Horak expected to face Willard Mylenbusch, and Harry Mickelson in tomorrow's doubeheader.
Sands' Second Start
Wilson, who specializes in strike-outs, has won four contests and lost three this year. Sands' only starting appearance was against the champion Oklahoma nine, and, although it resulted in defeat, he succeeded in subduing the Sooners for seven of the nine innings.
This year's Cyclone team is composed entirely of juniors and sophomores, so prospects are bright for Iowa State to rank higher next season than the present fourth place squad. The Cyclones' infield has clicked off 14 double plays this spring and will be trying to make it 20 before the series with the Jayhawks is completed.
The Kansas record for the year will have to be written into the books
