Jayhawkers Threaten Sooners
Dr. F. C. Allen and his western N. C.A.A. champions sent an autographed basketball to Governor Payne Ratner and his family in thanks for his support and hospitality. Then "Phog" personally sent the governor's children one of his Goal-Hi standards. This basketball makes the second of such trophies in the executive mansion. Last fall, the University of Missouri football team sent an autographed ball to the Kansas governor.

STAN WILLIAMSON writes that "Tom Stidham is a fine coach, and friend, and easy to work with," at Oklahoma. He also reports that the Sooner team will lose only five men this year from a squad of 60, and although the group is green, they are not lacking in size.

Gordon Gray, three-letterman in basketball and track, in 1933, 34. 35, is resigning his coaching job at Harlingen high school in Texas, and contemplating coming back to Kansas to take some advance work on his master's degree. Gray graduated in 1936.
The University of Kansas cagers will play the University of Texas team in a two-game series here early next December, it was learned today from reliable sources. K.U. played the Texans two years ago at Austin, and both teams won one victory. This year, Rice beat Texas 43-42 to win the Southwestern title.
From the grapevine information bureau comes the news that N.Y.U. wanted to schedule a basketball game with Kansas on last October 13, but the Jayhawk cagers were already scheduled to play Drake.
Speaking of the scheduling of basketball games, the interpretation of the Big Six ruling about scheduling no conference games on any court except where the school is located, is one of the most peculiar portions of the rule book. Why shouldn't Kansas and Missouri be allowed to have dual track meets or any other kind of competition in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City? The BIG SIX track meet is held there.
LOOK AT MISSOURI and N. Y.
U. back east. When the Tigers journeyed back to New York, the football teams didn't meet on the N. Y.U. field, but instead, they competed in the Yankee Stadium. How about the coming Kansas-Villinova gridiron tilt? Are they going to play on the Villinova field. . . No certainly not, they will go into Philadelphia to play off the game, where thousands of people will be able to watch them.
The BIG TEN HAS THE SAME ruling but they have a very liberal interpretation of this rule, in that their teams can play within a radius of 150 miles of one of the schools participating.
It is understood that the Kansas- Oklahoma A. and M. cage tilt will draw about $1,000 for the Jayhawks next basketball season.

Lead Oklahoma Until Seventh; Lose Game 6-3
For six big innings yesterday afternoon, Jack Sands, dark thatched Kansas first baseman and pitcher, moved smoothly along toward the greatest upset of the Big Six baseball season.
For six happy frames, the cellar dwelling Kansas Jayhawks kicked dirt in the faces of the mighty Oklahoma Sooners.
hawks dropped their seventh straight game, this one by a score of 6 to 3.
But with victory almost within its grasp, the Kansas infield once more sprang a leak, Oklahoma grounders began to trickle into the outfield, five Sooner runs flooded across the plate in the seventh and eighth innings, and, despite heroic efforts, the Jay-
Get Early Inning
Kansas had gained a first inning lead when, with Larry Hensley on base, Eldreth Cadwalader, blonde cleanup hitter, blasted the first ball pitched to him by Lefty Parks for a 375 foot home run into deep left field.
From then until the seventh, the score keeper did nothing but draw goose eggs on the score board, but the crowd was treated to a demonstration of fielding and throwing by the Oklahoma infield which is seldom seen in intercollegiate circles. The Riley boys at second and third and Sam Blackwell at short did everything with ball but swallow it, and, after seeing them play through nine innings at top speed, the spectators wouldn't have been surprised if they'd done that.
The Sooners collected an unearned run in the second, but from then on until the seventh, Sands was invincible. The spurious Oklahoma tally came when Cadwalader dropped Bullington's third strike and the Sooner runner was safe on first. Bullington went to third on Elwood Riley's single and scored as Deaton dropped a sacrifice bunt in front of the plate.
Threaten In Sixth
The Jayhawks presented a mild threat in the sixth inning, but alertness on the part of pitcher Parks and a base running lapse by "Red" Thompson cut down the run before it could blossom into maturity. With Thompson on second and Cameron, who had also singled, on first, Parks wheeled and snapped the ball to second baseman Riley, who tagged Thompson before he could return to the base.

Sands had given the Sooner sluggers only five hits in the first six innings, but, not having pitched a complete game this year, he began to tire in the seventh.

In this inning, Zollner batted for Parks and was out when Cadwalader fielded his bunt and threw to first. Blackwell then dropped a pop fly double down the left field foul line and went to third as Dorus Munsinger's low throw to first failed to catch Myer. Berryman was out on a grounder to second, and the dangerous Jack Riley stepped into the batter's box.
Preferring to pitch to Herb Scheffler, Sooner first baseman, Sands passed Berryman. But Scheffler, who had drawn the jeers of the crowd by going down on strikes twice earlier in the game, rose up in all his wrath and lined a single into

K.U. Track Team Loses To Missouri
Missouri's Tigers defeated Kansas 76 1-3 to 54 2-3 on the cinder track at Columbia in the renewal of one of the oldest track and field dual meet rivalries in the Middlewest.
Missouri's strength in the field events accounted mainly for the Tiger triumph. Coach Chauncey Simpson's team won all six of the field events and scored clean sweeps in three of them, the shot put, discus throw and high jump.
The Jayhawks won the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, two mile run, 220 yard low hurdles and the mile relay. Darrell Mathes, junior sprint star, captured the 100 in 9.7 and the 220 in 21.8. Glen Foy's time of 23.4 in the low hurdles was one of the best marks of the day.
The summary:
100-yard dash—Won by Mathes,
Kansas; second, Scott, Kansas, third,
Schumitzky, Missouri. Time: .9.7.
220-yard dash—Won by Mathes,
Kansas; second, Greene, Kansas,
