Iowa State Series Next
Jays To Meet Cyclone Team This Weekend
A final attempt to salvage what is left of a highly unsuccessful season will be made by the Kansas baseball team on Friday and Saturday when the Jayhawks engage the Iowa State Cyclones, at Ames in a two or possibly a three-game series.
Following the Missouri victory over Kansas Monday, in which the Tigers clinched the third spot in the Big Six standings, Iowa State found itself in much the same situation as the Jayhawks. The Cyclones are firmly entrenched in fourth place with no chance of improving or injuring their position during the coming series with Mike Getto's club. Similarly, the Jayhawks will be playing just for the exercise. Their grasp on last place is too secure to be challenged by either the Cyclones or the Nebraska Cornhuskus.
One of the contests scheduled to be played here last month was rained out; and so a single game may be held Friday with a doubleheader in prospect for Saturday.
Hawkers Cinch Cellar
The Kansas hurling nominees for the coming series include Jack Sands, "Red" Dugan, and Henry Horak. Coach Getto said this morning that he is not planning on pitching Knute Kresie again this year because he does not wish the little right hander to aggravate his back injury. Instead, Kresie will be stationed at third base in the contests with the Cyclones.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen was the guest speaker at the Humboldt high school commencement list night, and he will be the main speaker at the commencement exercises of the Marysville high school tonight.
Iowa State Hitters Strong
Iowa State's hitters enjoyed a field day against the Nebraska Cornhuskers last week, and as a result, the team batting average stands at .292. Bob Benedict, Cyclone outfielder, is hitting at a .386 clip, and two of his mates, John Thompson and Dale DeKoster, are close behind him. Thompson, Iowa State captain and catcher, boasts an average of .355, while DeKoster, a regular outfielder, has compiled a record of .341 in 11 games thus far this season.
Allen Continues Speaking Tour
Dr. Allen has been the guest speaker at a number of such events during the past two weeks. Friday night, he will address the Wamego high school graduates, and then he will complete his speeches this week at the Douglas County grade school graduation in Lawrence, Saturday.

Beta Theta Pi stood off a belated Teke rally yesterday afternoon, and went on to win the game 5-4. The Beta's had built up an early inning lead of 5 runs, when the Tekes pushed across four tallies in the first half of the sixth inning. The situation looked bad for the Beta's as the Tekes had three men on bases, when Hogben came in to replace Geiger, who had been pitching. He saved the situation by striking out the next batter and putting

Phi Psi 9, A.K. Psi 3
Phi Psi obtained a six-run lead in the opening inning which was enough to defeat the Alpha Kappa Psi team, 9 to 3. Hodge pitched the game for the winners, and Hosford for the losers. Yesterday's rain left the field sloppy and caused base-runners to perform curious antics, but the fielding of both teams was nearly flawless.
