Nebraska Sweeps Series
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Horace Mason Guest Conductor
It is customary for the Sooners to have a hard hitting infield and this year's is positively murderous. On first base is big Herb Scheffler of basketball fame. Second baseman "Popeye" Lasater is a wiry, little veteran playing his third year as a regular. Sam Blackwell, a heavy hitter, is at shortstop, with Jack Riley at third. It's an all-senior infield, with a lot of finesse and a lot of power.
Items from here and there: Al Blozis, giant Georgetown weight man, looks good for a new world record in the shot put. . . The 6 foot 6 inch sophomore has been putting the shot 55 feet consistently this season. . . John Wilson's style of high jumping with only one shoe on may bring him a world record. . . The Southern California ace jumped 6 feet 9½ inches at Los Angeles last Saturday.
Jack Baer, former Oklahoma football and baseball star, is playing center field for Scranton, a farm of the Boston Red Sox. . . Joe Gulledge, one of the best natural hitters even seen in the Big Six, went from Oklahoma to a farm team of the Boston Bees. . . Ferrel Anderson, "Ole Andy," ex-Jayhawk star, is batting cleanup for Norfolk, Va., a Yankee farm in the Piedmont League. . . Opening day Anderson caught Charley Mason, who was regarded as the best Big Six pitching prospect in many years when hurling for Missouri.
Tab Don Pollom as a name to remember. . . This Jayhawk freshman is going to make football and track history at Kansas unless we miss our guess. . . Pollom holds the national high school record in the low hurdles, and was equally as good in football. . . In a football suit he can run like a deer and twist and dodge with the best of them. . . The fact that he works his head off in practice doesn't make the coaches feel bad either.
Hats off to Forrest "Knute" Kresie, who ranks with the finest baseball players in the history of the University despite the fact he is only a sophomore. Friday Kresie turned in some of the classiest pitching ever seen on the local diamond. With decent support, the young right-hander would have had a near shutout, rather than the 9-6 defeat he suffered.
Kresieh had so much stuff Friday that many of the Nebraska batters were missing the ball six and eight inches. The ball Kresieh was pitching jumped around as though it were alive. "Knute" had speed and control Friday. His curve was breaking sharp as a knife, his drop was beautiful to watch and his knuckle ball was highly effective. All of which added up to 10 strikeouts for the sophomore ace.

Kansas Rally Falls Short Huskers Win 7-6
By Bob Trump, c'42
Triumph was a fickle and elusive thing for the victory-starved Kansas baseball team yesterday afternoon, and although the Jayhawks pursued it for nine long innings, they were never quite able to close the gap.
The result was a 7 to 6 decision for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, a clean sweep of the two day series for the visitors, and a reserved seat in the conference cellar for Mike Getto's club.
The Jayhawks didn't succumb to defeat without a struggle. One was out in the last half of the ninth inning and the Cornhuskers were leading by a single run when the versatile Knute Kresie, who played second base for the Kansans yesterday,
Darrell Mathes Runs 100' Yard Dash In Record Time-9.3
Just five yards separated Darrrell Mathes, fleet Kansas sprinter, from trackdom's Hall of Fame yesterday afternoon and this is how it happened.
Participating in the dual meet between Kansas and Kansas State, Mathes won the 100 yard dash event handily.
When the timers consulted their stop watches, their eyes almost popped out of their heads because the hands of each timepiece stood at 9.3 seconds—a new world's record for the 100 yard dash.
An investigation revealed that the race was begun five yards past the usual starting line and hence the athletes had run only 95 instead of 100 yards.
Golf Set Given To Dr. Allen
Dr. "Phog" Allen has just received a set of Kenneth Smith hand made golf clubs as a gift from 287 of his Lawrence friends. Inscribed on each club are the scores of the NCAA basketball games: Oklahoma 39, K.U. 45, March 12; Oklahoma A. and M. 43, K.U. 45, March 16: Rice 42, K.U. 50, March 22; Southern Cal. 42, K.U. 43, March 23; and Indiana 60, K.U. 42.
A congratulatory telegram, signed by 287 Lawrence citizens, which was sent to Dr. Allen the night of the Indiana-K.U. game in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., read: "We, the business men of Lawrence, wish to show our appreciation for the fine contribution you have made to the Kansas University and the Youth of Kansas for 25 years. You have established a record of which we are justly proud. This gift is in sincere appreciation of the leadership you have so definitely established as an outstanding citizen of Lawrence."
The set contains four woods and 10 irons. The leather golf bag is equipped with an umbrella. "Presented to "Phog" Allen by his friends of Lawrence, March 30," is the inscription on the bag.
slapped a ground single into right field and tock second as outfielder Van Buskirk juggled the ball.
A crowd which had seen the Jayhawks take an early lead, lose it, and then fight back to tie the score again, moved forward in the bleachers. Maybe today was their day. Two chances to score the tieing run and only one out. Surely the Kansas luck wasn't all bad.
But Larry Hensley, who had snapped out of his hitting slump with three singles in four times at the plate, couldn't find another hit in his bat, and Jack Sands grounded out, first to pitch covering first to end the game.
Miller Cameron singled to left, was sacrificed to second by Kresie and scored on Hensley's hit to center. The rally idied while Sands was bounding out to the second baseman, but roared a moment later after pitcher Truscott had walked Eldreth Cadwalader and Dorus Munsinger to fill the bases.
Though the Kansas nine once more took a blind alley in its search for the road to victory, the fans spent anything but a dull afternoon. Hardly had Umpire Bice issued the command to play ball when Lefty Horak, who pitched a courageous but losing game, had retired the Cornhuskers and the Jayhawks jumped into commanding lead.
Three hits, two walks, and a fielder's choice netted the Cornhuskers three runs in the third. Singles by Rubino and Schmode and Sands' error on Munsinger's throw to first sent the visitors into a 5 to 4 lead.
Monte Merkle unloaded a single into left field, scoring Hensley and Cadwalader, and a moment later accomplished the almost Herculean feat of going from first to third on Horak's one base hit. The throw from the outfield arrived ahead of Monte, but the big catcher slid head-first amid a cloud of dust and clutched the bag before third baseman Thomsen could tag him. Here he remained, however, as Searle replaced Truscott on the mound for Nebraska and ended the four run inning by retiring Ray Napier on strikes.
The Jayhawks knotted the count in the fifth as Hensley drove his second hit of the day into left field, advanced to third on Sands' single to right, and scored as Cadwalader was
