Cellar Position Fight Today
Knute Kresie On Mound Against Huskers Today
Fifth place was at stake, as the Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers clashed on the varsity diamond this afternoon, with the victor holding a chance of climbing into the upper strata of the conference standings, and the loser being relegated to the depths of the cellar.
Change Jay's Lineup Again
The Jayhawk lineup, which has been as changeable as the spring weather of late, exhibited a few more minor alterations today. Eldreth Cadwalader, team captain, was moved in from the outfield and stationed behind the plate, "Red" Thompson was posted at third base, and Miller Cameron went to center field. Flanking Cameron were Larry $ ^{3} $
Hensley and Henry Horak.
Except for the change at third, the Kansas infield was the same as it has been all season, with Ray Napier at shortstop, Charles Kraemer at second, and Jack Sands at first.
Knute Kresie was the starting hurler for Kansas with Henry Hoark slated to pitch tomorrow. The second game of the series tomorrow will begin at 2 o'clock in order to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Kansas State track meet later the same afternoon.
Thompson to Third Sack
Thompson's elevation to the position of first string third baseman was made to fill the spot left vacant by Knute Kresie, today's hurler. Kresie played third against Iowa State last Friday, and may become a familiar figure around the hot corner when he isn't pitching.
An experienced infielder, Thompson held down first base during the early part of the season before Jack Sands reported for practice, and he may go places if he can continue to show improvement at the plate. Coach Mike Getto intended to start him at third against Rockhurst, but that game was rained out, and so he gets his chance today.

PARENT'S DAY SATURDAY
Alph's, Phi Psi's Win Diamond Tilts; Teke's in Defeat
In several of the intramural baseball games yesterday, it was a matter of question whether they were track meets or imitations of the girl's ball games. High scores were prevalent, but in some cases this was caused by the high wind which swept the field and made the handling of flies tricky.
Theta Tau scored 17 runs in the initial stanza and never were behind the rest of the game. They beat Alpha Chi Sigma by the score of 30-14.
Hall Leads Alph's
The pitching of Hall led the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team to a 22-4 victory over Acacia. Kelcher and Wilson had perfect days at the bat. Both of these Alf fielders batted out four hits.
Phi Kappa Psi smashed out a 12-8 victory over the Pi Kappa Alpha squad. The game was marked by many errors, Phi Psi's outfielders dropping six flies in the course of the afternoon but their infield was airtight.
Sigma Chi From Behind
A four run rally in the closing frame enabled Sigma Chi to come from behind and defeat the Delta Chi's, 8-5. The Delta Chi's had scored one run in each of the first five innings, to build up their lead only to have it disappear in the Sigma Chi's last effort.
Despite six hit pitching by Kovak, which kept the Dominoes scoreless except for the third inning the Teke team was defeated 5-2. The Dominoes combined three hits with walks

Netmen Reverse Luck To Defeat Wildcats, 5-1
The University golf and tennis teams reversed their luck of the Wednesday Washburn dual, when the netmen swept through the Kansas State tennis team, 5 to 1, and the golfers lost their matches 11 1-2 to 6 1-2, in matches played yesterday afternoon on the local courts and links.
"Dutch" Uhrlaub's netmen lost only one singles match in their onesided victory over the Wildcats. Howarl Engleman led off for the Jayhawkers by outstroking Thornburrow, 6-3, 6-3. Kermit Franks and Conrad Voelker playing in one doubles combination, and Jack Floyd and Harris as the other, won their matches in straight sets. Ritchie and York Tie
Dean Ritchie, K.U., and York, K-State lead-off man, tied for medalist honors with a 77 on the Lawrence Country Club course. After soaring to an 85 in the Washburn meet the previous day, Rod Wakeland carded a 79 for runner-up honors. Bill McElhenny and Bob LaGree both toured the 18 holes in an 83.
Saturday morning, the golf and tennis teams journey north for a return dual meet with Nebraska. In the matches played with the Huskers here April 20, the golfers came out on the long end of a 16 to 2 score, but the netmen lost their matches, 5 to 1.
Engleman to Stay
Howard Engleman, lead-off man for the varsity netmen, will not make the trip to Nebraska. Jack Floyd, Kermit Franks, and Conrad Voelker will make up three members of the team, while qualifying matches will be played this afternoon between Warren Shupe, Bob Minor, Charles Snyder, and Harris to decide who will play the fourth position.
Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bob LaGree, and Bill McElhenny will play in the golf matches at Lincoln tomorrow.

You just can't tell . . . I mean in the prediction of sports events. . . Yesterday, the Jayhawker net team pulled a surprise, when they defeated the K-State Wildcats 5 to 1.
But in reverse of its regular performance, the K.U. golf team went down in defeat at the hands of the Aggie linkmen, by a score of $11\frac{1}{2}$ to $6\frac{1}{2}$. Coach Shannon's men will leave tonight for Lincoln, where they will engage the Nebraska Cornhuskers on their links.
Speaking of fights, the date for the Maxie Baer-Tony Galento fight has been moved back to July 2, from May 28, because of the death of Galento's manager, Joe Jacobs... Harry Mendel will handle the "beer barrel that walks like a man" in his fight against the Livermore plavbov.
Toy Faces Hard Competition
When Baer and Galento clash on July 2, it will mark the 19th anniversary gate between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter in Boyle's 30 acres.
ON THE AIR TONIGHT: will be two things of interest to sports followers. First, the broadcast of the Kansas song, which Fred Waring has written for K.U. . . . Maybe this air will be a good pep song for sports events. . . AND then there is the Buddy Baer-Nathan Mann fight in Madison Square Garden.

K.U.-Wildcat Track Teams In Dual Meet
The 880-yard and mile runs should provide the Kansas team with two firsts, because Don Thompson and Dick Edwards will be doing the running. Joe Ryan will probably also show his back side to the Wildcats in his mile.
Due to inter-sport complications, the Kansas-Kansas State track meet, which was to be at 1:30 tomorrow, will begin at 3:30 that same day, Coach Bill Hargiss announced this morning.
Beven, O'Hara Favorites
A tri-school high school meet at the stadium prolonged a short practice by the Jayhawk flyers yesterday afternoon, which was held in the Memorial stadium between Oread, Vinland, and Piper. The field was not cleared of its young contestants and enthusiastic fans until after 3 o'clock.
Beven and O'Hara expect to champion the pole vault as they easily did in the last State meet. O'Hara won this event in March with a vault of 12 feet 6 inches, and both men look good now.
Those impatient from waiting, came out on the field and worked on the weights in this last practice before the dual meet, even while the high schoolers were still in the midst of their events. Even the runners were tossing the shot.
