Meet Aggies Again
Henry Horak On Slab Today In Manhattan
Manhattan, May 16—(Special)—Henry Horak, the Jayhawk's man of all work, will forsake the comparative obscurity of right field this afternoon, and toe the pitching rubber in a final attempt to give the Kansas baseball team an even break for the season with the Kansas State Wildcats.
Six Kansas errors, more than offset stout batting by Mike Getto's club yesterday, and the Jayhawks dropped their eighth straight Big Six game to the Wildcats by a score of 11 to 4.
Burge Allows Nine Hits
John Burge pitched the entire nine innings for the Jayhawks and limited Kansas State to nine hits, while his teammates were collecting twelve off Jim Brock.
In the sixth inning with Kansas trailing by seven runs, Horak blasted one of Brock's deliveries over the right field fence for a home run. The Jayhawks added two runs in the eighth and one more in the ninth, but were unable to overcome the early lead built up by the Wildcats. Interference By Merkel
Chris Langvart, husky Kansas right fielder, precipitated a lengthy controversy between the rival teams when he stole home in the fourth inning and was called safe on interference by Catcher Monte Merkel.
Knute Kresie, Kansas pitcher and third baseman, who has been forced to remain out of competition for the past few days because of an injured back, was recovered sufficiently yesterday to play third base for the Jayhawks.

SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Both the Kansas golf and tennis teams won yesterday. This is the first time that both the linkmen and netmen have come out on top together. Usually one team wins and the other goes down in defeat . . . Explanation of the double victory: We played Central College.
HEADING FOR A RECORD . . . is the smooth-working infield of the Kansas City Blues. Priddy, Sturm, and Rizuto have set a mark of 190 double-plays for this season as their goal. So far in only 29 games, they have made 36 double-plays.
The Kansas diamond team came out on the short side of the score yesterday afternoon when the K-State baseballers whipped the Jayhawks 11 to 4. John Burge gave up less hits than did Brock of the Aggies, but the fielding behind Burge was terrible . . . Eight errors were credited to the Jayhawkers.
Coach Ward Haylett, Kansas State cinder mentor, sees a very close Big Six track meet this weekend at Lincoln. In the race for the title, Haylett sees Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, and his own Aggies . . . What Ward, not Iowa State and Kansas?
ON THE MEND this time, we hope, is Ralph Miller, who had his knee operated on this morning at Watkins hospital by Dr. C. B. Francisco, Kansas City bone specialist, who operated on "Cappy" last summer. At noon today, Miller's condition was "as good as can be expected" but the K.U. football and basketball star will be in the hospital 10 days.
Although Hugo DeGroot, Southern California, brother of E. B. DeGroot of the K.U. physical education department, has been ailing with an injured arm, he flipped the javelin 220 feet to win the first place honors in the West Coast Relays last Saturday . . . If a man is lailing and can still throw the javelin 220 feet, get me a ticket to see him throw when he is in condition.
High school and junior college track men are so good in California that at times it's hard to tell them from the stars of the big schools . . . Saturday, Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford, ran the 100 in 9.5 at the West Coast Relays . . . That looks pretty good until you begin comparing it with other marks made the same day . . . Harold Davis, Salinas, Calif, Junior College star, ran 9.5 that afternoon and Eddie Morris of Huntington Beach, Calif. high school broke the tape in 9.6 in still another meet.
Morris is rated the finest high school sprinter in the country . . .

Golfers; Netmen Finish Season With Victories
Jayhawker golf and tennis teams ended their regular season yesterday with double victories over Central College of Fayette, Mo., on the local courts and links. The teams left this afternoon for the Big Six meet at Lincoln.
Playing in their last match before their defense of the Big Six title, the linkmen scored a $11\frac{1}{2}$ to $6\frac{1}{2}$ win over the Missouri school. Coach William H. Shannon used a revised lineup with Bill McEilhenny and Rod Wakeland changing 2 and 3 positions and Sam Hepworth playing his first match with the varsity golfers.
Ritchie Is Low Man
Captain Dean Ritchie led the Kansas golfers with a three-over-par 75. Rod Wakeland scored a 77 for the other Jayhawk win in the twosome matches. An 82 by Oeth of Central was the best the men from Fayette could offer in medal scores. Foursome combinations of Ritchie and McElhenny, Wakeland and Hepworth played together for the first time and won both their matches $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $\frac{1}{2}$.
With the final doubles match called because of darkness and ending in a draw, Kansas netmen closed their regular season with a $5\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$ victory. Five singles matches instead of the usual four were played, Jayhawk racquet wielders winning all but the first. Howard Engleman lost his match to Brown of Central, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.
The summary:
Golf twosomes — Ritchie, Kansas,
(75), defeated Cutro, Central, (83),

Cinder Team Leaves For Conference Meet; Ray Harris To Run
While the actions of the 1914 Big Four are being duplicated by brain-trust fanatics in war-torn Europe this year, the Big Six will be holding its annual, peace-time track meet in Lin and Neb., tomorrow and Saturday.
R. Miller's Condition Satisfactory
Ralph Miller, football and basketball star, this morning submitted to the surgeon's knife for the second time since last summer in an attempt to cure a bad knee that has plagued his athletic career for more than a year.
Miller first injured his knee in the Iowa State-Kansas football game in the fall of 1938, and has subsequently reinjured it several times. Surgery was performed on the knee last August, but as it failed to respond favorably, it was deemed advisable that Miller undergo another operation.
Kansas will enter 19 men in 11 events in the corn-shucker state, and all but seven will be contestants on Friday, the day of the preliminaries. Entries for the one- and two-mile runs, and
Dr. C. B. Francisco, orthopedic surgeon of the University School of Medicine at Kansas, performed the operation this morning at Watkins Memorial hospital.
At noon today Dr. R. I. Canutelson, director of the student health service, reported that Miller's condition is satisfactory, but as yet it is impossible to tell what results the operation might bring.
Freshman Commission to Picnic
The freshman commissions of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will hold a picnic in Smith timber tomorrow afternoon.
the pole vault, will not compete until Saturday. Left at 1:30
Bill Hargiss, Dell Davidson, and Kenny Hamilton, rolled off the Memorial stadium grounds on the 210-mile trip shortly after 1:30 this afternoon with the 12 first-day contenders. Each car carried its share of track equipment, and Dell Davidson had two vaulting poles and two javelins strapped on his car top. Mike Getto will drive the other seven to Lincoln tomorrow at 1:30.
Cach Hargiss says his team is in the best condition it has been in all year and should turn out some good performances.
Ray Harris To Run
Kenny Hamilton, a quarter-miler, says he thinks his leg will hold him up all right now. He pulled the muscles in his right leg in the Kansas State dual meet two weeks ago.
The team is strengthened by having its captain, Ray Harris, with it. Ray has been holding off until this time, to be sure his instep would not buckle under him.
J. R. Jones, who has been suffering from a wrenched back for some time, feels much better, and should give all the Big Six broadjumpers a mark to jump for.
"Our chances of winning the Conference title are nil and void," declares Hargiss, "because we are not entering four events, which means a total of 60 points." Five places will be given in each event, making a total of 15 points for each.
One feature will be the 100-yard
