Jayhawk Nine Meets K-State Tomorrow
This may not be the case. Since that day in mid-April when the Jayhawks slugged out a 16 to 14 conquest over the Wildcats, the team from Manhattan, discounting a double loss to Oklahoma, has dropped only one game. The Wildcats took two decision from the strong Missouri Tigers at Columbia and then stopped the Iowa State victory streak two days in a row.
It will be almost like out of the frying pan into the fire for Mike Getto and his Jayhawk baseball team when they clash with the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan tomorrow and Thursday.
After giving the mighty Oklahoma Sooners a whale of a battle in the second game of last week's series before succumbing in the seventh inning by a score of 6 to 3, the Kansans walked off the field consoling themselves that this week they could go back to playing mere mortals again.
Wildcats Going Strong
Last weekend, the Kansas State nine broke even in a two game series with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. At present, they are in possession of second place in the Big Six conference standings and have only to meet challenges from Missouri and Iowa State to retain this position.
Burge Pitches Tomorrow
John Burge will pitch against the Wildcats tomorrow, and Henry Horak will take the mound on Thursday. Jim Brock, senior righthander whom the Jayhawks defeated earlier this year at Lawrence is the probable Kansas State hurler tomorrow with either Frank Woolf or Floyd Kirkland working the second contest.
Monte Merkel is scheduled to catch the first game for Kansas. The infield will be composed of Jack Sands at first, Larry Hensley at second, Ray Napier at short, and either Dorus Munsinger or Knute Kresie at third. In the outfield will be Ramie Beims, Miller Cameron, and either Henry Horak or Eldreth Cadwalader.

Track Team---the individual team members and the places they won are as follows:
Several of the Jayhawk trackmen are making a daily tour of the two and a half mile cross country course to strengthen their legs for the conference meet in Lincoln Friday and Saturday.
(Continued from page four) by Waldram with a second in the event.
The "over the hills" course, laid by Coach Hargiss, runs along Eleventh street, west to the Delta Tau Delta house. Here, it swings south to the main east-west campus road, east to the Chemistry building, and back down Mississippi street. A jog from Mississippi street to the stadium finishes a popular course with the trackmen, and when they have completed such a run, they know they have had a workout.
Coach Plots Cross Country Course
Hargiss has encouraged his pupils to take this exercise in order to keep from pulling leg muscles. "I've seen fine runners drop from a pulled muscle in a race, just because their legs can't take the strain," Hargiss explains. "Too much automobile riding, instead of getting out and running or riding a bicycle, ruins runners."
Kansas Fencers Capture Trophy
The first fencing trophy ever to be won by the University of Kansas was won last weekend at the Kansas City Sportsman's Horseshoe and Exposition.
The individual in the places they won are as follows:
In the foils competition, Carlos de Janon, first; and Haven Glassmire, second. In the epee bouts, Glassmire was second, William Belt, third, and de Janon, fourth. In the saber, Belt won first, Glassmire, second, and Dave Francisco, third.
In the team match, Kansas was the winner, with St. John's Military Academy of Salina second. Lorraine Polson was fourth in the women's foils. This was the only event for women fencers.
The trophy is a sun-ray Olympic figure in fencing position. The inscription on the base of the trophy is: "Won by the University of Kansas, foil, sabre, epee." Beneath are the names of the members of the team, William Belt, Jack Cadden, Haven Glassmire, Dave Francisco and Carlos de Janon.
Four Teams---many upsets and other good games. Despite the fact Hocevar pitched good ball and also hit three homers, his team, Delta Upsilon, went down to defeat at the hands of the Pi K. A. crew.

Table Tennis Team Loses at Tourney
Competing with players of national rank in the tournament style of playing will prove useful since all of the men contesting will be on next year's team.
The outstanding Kansas player of the tourney was Perry Petterson, who won seven out of 10 matches under the round robin system, whereby every man on the team plays every other man entered.
Members of the team competing at Kansas City were Petterson, Malcolm Black, Charles Ham, Shirley Irwin, Ellen Irwin.
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Chi Omega defeated Alpha Delta Pi 17-11 in the only women's intramural baseball game played Friday afternoon. Pi Beta Phi became winners in their division by an Alpha Delta Pi forfeit.
Ada Moseley pitched and Zita Ann Lowry caught for Chi Omega. Dorothy Burkhead scored the only home run of the game on A. D. Pi overthrows. Chi Omega Betty Lou Alphin, diving headlong, slid into second base safely after being caught in a hot box between first and second.
Marian Milhoan, A. D. Pi pitcher, was supported by catcher Alta Armstrong.
Corbin hall, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Leigh In Cast
In listing the cast of the all-University movie Sunday, the Kansan inadvertently omitted the name of Virgil Leigh, b'40.
Pi Beta Phi, and I.W.W. are the winners in their divisions of women's intramural baseball. Kappa will meet Pi Phi Monday to determine which team will play in the championship organized house game against Corbin hall Wednesday. The winning organized house team will vie for the women's intramural baseball championship with I.W.W., the winning independent team, Friday.
All tennis, golf, archery, horse shoe, and badminton matches must be played off by the first of next week, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant physical education instructor, urged yesterday. Scores must be turned in at the gym office.
Just wait 'til we're rich!
Today we smile at that memory. Now everyone can afford finer electric service than could be had at any price twenty years ago,
YOU don't have to be very old to remember when only the "big house on the hill" had electric service—when you, as a youngster, watched its magic brilliance and said to yourself, "Just wait 'til we're rich!"
Two things made this possible. First, people want electric service. They want to share in its benefits and the release it brings from back-breaking labor. Second, the people of your electric company have worked tirelessly for years to improve service and reduce rates, so that more and more people could have electric service.
Together, your demand and our employees' efforts have made possible the quantity production of electricity. The more units of anything that can be produced and sold, the smaller the cost of each unit will be. If, like so many families, you are now using lots of light, a radio, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, toaster, washing machine and other appliances, you probably pay very little more to operate all of these than you paid for light alone not so many years ago.
Today, as far as electric service is concerned, everyone is rich. Rates have come down and standards of service have gone up because we work on the American principle of making a good thing better and selling it to more people for less money. That principle has made Americans the richest people in the world.
MORE FOR YOUR MONEY
In the last 10 to 15 years, the engineering improvements and operating economies of your electric company have made it possible to cut the average price of household electricity just about in half. Many customers now using more household appliances, lots of light, a radio and refrigerator pay very little more to operate all of these than they used to pay for light alone.
