Dopesters don't give Kansas a chance in a carload in the Big Six meet tomorrow at Lincoln. But this corner doesn't blame the prophets in the least for giving the K.U. thin-calds the cellar position.
By Larry Winn
But Horce Mason, K.U. propaganda minister, has taken time off from reading about the California high school athletes to pick his "first five" for the meet tomorrow: Just to spite him, I'll give him the space in this column.

Jayhawkers Have Little Chance In Conference Carnival at Lincoln
By Larry Winn, c'41
The officials of the Big Six track carnival in Lincoln tomorrow, might have to use the "eeney-meeney miney moe" system, or toss a coin to determine the winner of the conference title this year. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas State are favored, leaving Kansas and Iowa State to fight it out for the cellar.
With the Cornhuskers having a slight edge over the other favorites, because they won the 1940 indoor crown, prophets are bluffed as to the possible outcome. However the cinder meet does come out, it will be a close finish anyway you look at it. Big "IF" On Cripples
"If" some of the crippies on the teams pull through this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, the story might be still different. Herb Grote, Husker javelin thrower, who has been out this week with illness, and it is a strong possibility that Missouri's Bob Waldram might skip off with the spear honors. Other cripples are Marshall Reeves, M.U. half-miler, Jack Morris, Oklahoma hurdler, Ray Harris, K.U. distance runner, and Elmer Hackney, K-State shot putter. So it looks like everybody has at least one good man on the "if" list.
The 100-yard dash will be one of the features of the meet, when "Red" Littler, Nebraska, George Ockett, Oklahoma, and Darrell Mathes, Kansas, will be fighting it out for the century title. These same men will be the "hot shots" in the furlong dash. All have run the 100 under 9.7.
Dick Schnacke, Iowa State high jumper, should have little trouble in running off with his event, and there is a great possibility that he might crack the record of 6 feet, 3 7-8 inches, held by William Newblock, of Oklahoma, set in 1933.
Hunt and Higgins, of Nebraska and Missouri respectively, will be vaulting it out for top honors in the pole vault. The record for this event is 13 feet, 8 inches and both men have gone 13 feet, 9 inches this year. Other contenders for the pole vault crown are Tone, Oklahoma, and the K.U. vaulting twins, Beven and O-Hara.
Schnacke Favored
The banquet for alumni of the University will not be held tomorrow in Kansas City, Mo., as originally planned, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, announced today.
If John Munski turns in another performance like he did in the K.U.-M.U. dual meet last week in the mile, the record of 4:14.3 will be sure to go. "Lonesome John" will the distance at Columbia last week in 4:11.6.
Alumni Banquet Date Set for September
Tentative plans now schedule the dinner for September, Ellsworth said.

K.U. Defends Big Six Golf Championship
With Oklahoma given an edge in both tennis and golf meets, the Jayhawk golfers will have a busy weekend at Lincoln, defending their Big Six title won by the narrow margin of one stroke last year. Missouri and Iowa State have strong teams, and Jayhawker linkmen may find themselves in fourth place after the last golfer has holed-in Saturday afternoon.
Sooner golfers have a 27 consecutive win streak in regular matches over a period of several seasons and were runners-up in last year's meet at Ames. Missouri placed third, with only three strokes separating first and third places.
Linkmen Win Six
Captain Dean Ritchie is the only member of last year's championship squad on the team this year. Ritchie has lost only one match this season, and has consistently toured the 18 holes in the middle 70's. He turned in his lowest match score, a one under-par 71, in the Wichita University meet.
The Kansas linkmen have a record of six wins, one tie, and four losses in matches this season. Coach Shannon's men played an incomplete Big Six schedule, defeating Nebraska twice, tying Missouri once, but losing in their return match, and dropping both dual meets with K-State golfers.
Rod Wakeland, Bill McElhenny, and Bob LeGree are the other members of the varsity squad, defending their title at Lincoln this afternoon and tomorrow. Wakeland has been playing the number 2 position in matches, and was medalist in the season's first meet with a 75.
Wakeland Number 2
McEhenny has carded low scores in practice matches, with his lowest in meets, an 82. LaGree, a replacement on the varsity in the last few matches, tied Ritchie for medalist honors with a 78 in the meet at Nebraska on the same course as the Big Six play this weekend.
Golf matches are being played on the 36 hole medal play plan, with both an individual and a team Big Six champion to be crowned.
In tennis, the Sooners have Ed Lindsey and Walt Maitl, last year's
Wildcats Whip Kansans Again
Outscored and outfielded, but not outfit for the second straight day, the Kansas Jayhawks returned from Manhattan last night with two more games written into the red ink column.
(Continued on page five)
After losing by an 11 to 4 score on Wednesday, the Jayhawks dropped yesterday's encounter with the Wildcats 8 to 4.
Beims Gets Homer
Kansas led until the sixth inning yesterday, but a five run Kansas State rally more than erased the Jayhawk's early margin. Ramie Beims, who is rapidly developing into a dangerous hitter, slammed a home run to deep left field with two mates on base in the third inning. It was one of the longest hits on the Manhattan diamond this spring and traveled so far that the Kansas State left fielder didn't even bother to go after it.
Kenny Graham, Wildcat first baseman, whittled the Kansas lead by one run in the last half of the third, when he connected for a home run with no one on base. Kansas State added one more run in the fourth and then went ahead in the sixth with a five-run splurge. Each team chalked up a run in the seventh to finish the day's scoring. Horak Too Wild
Lefty Horak, who struck out five of the first six men who faced him, gave the Wildcats fewer hits than did Frank Woolf, the Kansas State hurler, but was too wild to be effective.
"Red" Dugan was nominated today by Coach Mike Getto to pitch Monday's game here against the Tigers. Jack Sands, who was successful in muffling the big guns of the Oklahoma Sooners' attack last Saturday until the late innings, will hurl the second engagement of the series Tuesday afternoon.
Expect 400 To Attend Education Picnic
The annual education picnic to be held May 22, will draw about 400 persons, Dr. Bert A. Nash told his classes this afternoon. Fowler grove will be the scene of the outing.
The picnic will offer students and teachers of the School of Education opportunity to get acquainted. From swimming and baseball to bridge and dancing, diversified sports and entertainment have been planned for those attending.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Intramural Softball BY TOM HIGGINS
By TOM HIGGINS
Play in the first round of the playoff division in softball will be played Monday instead of today as scheduled. There are 12 teams in this division, four of them drawing first round byes.
The games will be between Sigma Nu-Delta Tau Delta, Sig Alph-Delta Upsilon Hillside-Tekes, Phi Psi-Alpha Chi Sigma. Teams drawing byes were Beta, Dominoes, Alpha Kappa Psa, and Theta Tau.
Alpha Chi Sigma shut out the hitherto undefeated Alpha Kappa Psi team 15 to 0 and grabbed themselves a share of the cup in their division. Lincoln was the winning hurler. Wagner was strong behind the bat, gathering four hits in five trips to the plate.
Regular play finished yesterday with six games, all were oneside except the Theta Tau-Kappa Eta Kappa game. In this game the score was tied at the end of the regular seven innings, 17-17, and they played the next inning scoreless. In the first half of the ninth a Theta Tau runner scored from second on a long fly to left field to put them ahead.
Behind the pitching of Dan Rhule, the A.T.O. team batted out a 13-4 victory over the Pi K.A. group. Graywin began the game on the slab for the losers, but was knocked out of the box and Dunham finished the game.
Tekes defeated the Warriors 10-4 in a very uninteresting game. Hill was the winning pitcher and Vic Rink for the losers.
It was a romp for the Phi Psi's as they ran over the Sig Ep's 20-1. Bill Hodge started the game for the Psi's and did a good job in his first starting role, but gave way to Bob Allen in the seventh. Allen struck out the only three men that faced him in that inning. The Phi Psi's scored eight runs in the opening inning.
The Dominoes scored four home runs in the third inning and in doing so ran up a lead that the Dunakin club could not overcome. The final score was 14-3. Bowlyb was outstanding for the Dominoes in his fielding work.
Students interested in the civilian pilot training program for next year should confer with Prof. E. E. Hay in Marvin hall, it was announced today. The central office in Kansas City, Mo., is interested in making a survey of prospects for next year.
