Batsmen Lose PORTSCOPE Carl Miles Fans 11 Jay Batters To Beat K.U., 8-6
When the time rolls around for me to give a summary of K. U. athletic events for the year, I'm afraid its going to be embarassing.
Just a preview will show you what I mean: Remember this is unofficial.
HOW KANSAS FINISHED
Football: Tie for last.
Basketball: Tie for first.
Track (Outdoor): Fifth.
Track (Indoor): Sixth.
Baseball: Sixth.
Swimming: Fifth (out of five entered).
Wrestling: Didn't enter.
Golf: Tie for third place.
Tennis: Sixth.
Maybe Kansas has better start subsidizing a few star ping pong players or bring Charles Peterson here to give the K.U. men some instruction in billiards.
TRY, TRY AGAIN: is the theme of Taisto Maki, Finnish distance ace, who is still in America, trying to raise funds for the Finns, and still trying to beat an American distance runner somewhere along the line. Friday, at Los Angeles, Walter Mehl and Gregory Rice both licked the Finn in a 9:01.8 two-mile jaunt which was won by Mehl.
Again, from the west coast, come more reports of some outstanding track marks. Hugo DeGroot must be getting rid of his sore arm, because he tossed the javelin 225 feet last Friday in the Finnish Relief Fund Meet in Los Angeles. . . The American record for this event is 234 feet, held by Bob Peoples, Southern California ace, who is still ailing with a broken arm, suffered two-weeks ago. . . Lee Orr, Washington State, who was on the Canadian Olympic team in 1936, ran a spectacular quarter-mile in the same meet, when he flew the 440-yards in 46.9, which is the best quarter-mile performance of the year. . . In the course of the afternoon, he also ran the 220-yard dash in 20.9 and the low hurdles for the same distance in 23.5. . . Not a bad afternoon for one man.
BACK AGAIN in the cellar are the New York Yankees, who have gotten only seven hits in the last two games. . . . Bob Feller only allowed them four hits Sunday, and yesterday, Al Smith set the World's Champions (?????) down with three hits.
FROM THE EXCUSE Department:
The reason Kenny Hamilton didn't place in the Big Six meet was because his leg muscle pulled again. . . Beven and O'Hara had difficulty in vaulting because of "the wind and the rain in their hair" . . . Darrrell Mathes 'legs gave out on him about ten yards from the finish line in the 220-yard dash. . . J. R. Jones back slipped out of place again. . . And last and most important in the K.U.
defeat: The other teams scored more points than we did.
Last night's rain dampened the baseball diamond sufficiently to force the cancellations of today's scheduled doubleheader between Missouri and Kansas, thus dashing the second place aspirations of the Tigers, and also ending any hopes the Jayhawks might have entertained of concluding their home season in victory.
Miles Gives 7 Hits
With their ace left-hander, Carl Miles, retiring 11 batters on spikes and spacing seven hits effectively yesterday afternoon, the Bengals plucked the Jayhawks by a score of 8 to 6 and moved closer to the second place Kansas State nine. A double victory for the Tigers today would have elevated them into a tie for runnerup position in the Big Six standings.
As late as the eighth inning of yesterday's game, the Jayhawks looked as though they might play havoc with the best-laid plans of Missouri Coach "Hi" Simmons and Lefy Miles. Jack Sands, slugging Kansas first baseman, who continued his devastating attack on enemy hurlers with two hits in four times at bat, led off the eighth with a triple to the embankment in deep right center field. Knute Kresie dropped a Texas-league single into center, and Sands came home with the fifth Kansas run of the day.
Chilson Fans
The Tigers still led by a score of 8 to 5, and Miles steadied momentarily to retire Ramie Beins on a slug bunt which the Missouri pitcher himself fielded and threw to Paul Christman at first. Bill Crane, Bengal second baseman, then played tag with Eldreth Cadwalader's grounder, and the Kansas catcher was safe on first, while Kresie moved to third. Ray Napier eased the tension on Miles by grounding out to first base, but the pressure was applied again a moment later as Coach Mike Getto allowed "Red" Dugan to bat for himself and Miles walked him to fill the bases. This brought up Bob Chilson, Kansas second baseman, who worked the count to three and two and then missed a third strike.
Miles was nicked for the sixth Kansas run in the ninth, when Miller Cameron tripled over centerfielder Herb Gregg's head, held third while Henry Horak was striking out, and then scored as Sands grounded out, second to first. Kresie singled over second, but Beims ended the game with a fly to left field.
The Jayhawks took a lead in the first inning on walks to Cameron and Sands and singles by Kresie and Cadalader. Missouri came back with two in the second and went ahead in the fifth when Ronald King, Tiger third baseman, hit a home run with one on base. The Bengals pushed their last three runs across the plate in the sixth.
Kansas Leads In First
NOTICE
Today's doubleheader with the Missouri Tigers was called off because of wet grounds.

Kansas Loses Golf Crown To Iowa State
Iowa State's Cyclones, led by Billy Hall who fired rounds of 74 and 77, blew the golf crown right off the heads of the defending champion Kansas Jayhawkers at the Big Six tournament in Lincoln Saturday.
The Kansas golfers finished in a tie for third place with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, while the Oklahoma Sooners were gaining the runner-up spot. Missouri was fifth and Kansas State last.
Dean Ritchie, Jayhawk captain, who was his team's low man, turned in rounds of 79 and 80 for a score of 159. He was followed by Rod Wakeland with 168, Bob LaGree with 173, and Bill McEihenny, 174. The Cyclones' winning team total was 635, and Oklahoma second place score was 649. The Kansas and Nebraska totals were 674. Missouri finished with 689, and Kansas State with 693.
A.A.U. Meet Next For K.U. Trackmen
Most of the members of the Kansas track team have called a halt to this season's practice, but some of the Jayhawker cindermen are planning to enter the National A.A.U. meet in Kansas City, June 8.
Coach Hargiss will take a team of entries to this meet as soon as school is out. The meet will be held at Southwest high school.
The K.U. representation should be strong, because many of the cindermen who are ineligible for varsity competition, will be able to compete in the A.A.U. meet. Men like Norman Sanneman, a high jumper, who goes over 6 feet easily, Bill Knight, who throws the javelin around 190 feet, and John Mitchner, who vaults 12 feet are eligible.
This is also a red-letter day for freshmen, because it is the only event that allows yearling participation.
Intramural Softball By TOM HIGGINS
Delta Tau Delta pulled the first upset of the playoffs by defeating the Sigma Nu's 3-2. The Deltas went into an early lead but the score was tied as the teams went into the seventh inning. Sigma Nu was not able to reach Cluster, the Delt pitcher, for any runs in their half of the inning and saw their chances for further play in the championship round disappear, as Keplinger knocked out a homer with two out in the last of the seventh.
Phi Psi 4, Alpha Chi Sig 3
Alpha Chi Sigma pitching held the Phi Psi's to three hits but there were several walks and errors to permit the Phi Psi's to win the game 4-2. Epp hurled for the Alpha Sig's and Allen pitched two-hit ball for the Phi Psi's and struck out six of the opposing batters.
Sig Alph 16, D.U.2
Sigma Alpha Epsilon trounced the Delta Upsilon team 16-2, despite the fine hurling of Hocevar, the one-man team. Hall was pitching unbeatable ball for the Alphs, as he struck out twelve of the twenty-one batters that faced him. He was given batting punch by all of his mates, but it was Amerine that really was the power. He got a triple, a double, and a single in four trips to the plate.
Teke 13. Hillside 11
Teke scored seven runs in the sixth inning to overcome an early lead, and defeat the Hillside Club 13-11. Hill pitched for the winners and Schotts for the losers. The game was marked by erratic fielding, but the winners showed a good team most of the time.
Today's game will see the four winners of yesterdays games, and the teams that emerge victorious will be able to classify themselves as the cream of the crop of very fine teams, that have competed in the games this year.
Semi-finals are scheduled for Thursday, and the final game will be played Friday, if the weather permits.
Kansas had 3 deaths at railroad crossings during the month of March. When crossing railroads remember that they have both right and might.
