Rifle Women To Give Picnic for Men Shooters; Two 100's
The women's rifle team lost the annual match to the men's team last night, on the rifle range in the basement of Fowler Shops, and will have to treat the men to a picnic again this year, it was announced by Maj. Raymond Edwards this morning.
Buildings costing approximately two millions of dollars have come to the University as gifts. These include, at Lawrence, the Spooner-Thayer art building, Fowler Shops, Oread Training School, Memorial Union Building, Watkins and Miller Halls, Watkins Hospital, the Hospital Nurses Home, two Chancellor's residences, the Home Economics Practice House, a part of the Stadium.
The score was 972 to 955. The two highest scores were made by Robert Smith, b'40, and Robert Price, c'41, who each scored 100. On the girl's team, both Dorothy Durand, c'42, and Louise Bush, c'40, fired a score of 97, which was their highest score. All shots were fired from the prone position.
The match is usually fired by 15 members of each team, then the 10 highest scores are picked from each side and compared to decide the final score. Last night, however, only 12 girls were present to fire against 17 boys.
The date of the picnic has not been announced.
Much Has Been Gifts
At Kansas City there are the old Bell Hospital, the Hixon Research Laboratory, the Children's Pavilion and the Clinic Building.
Dodgers 'Do It Again' To Challenge Ball Fans
New York, May 1.—(UP)—The baseball world—Brooklyn excepted —was upside-down today.
In Brooklyn, wild-eyed fans gathered in the bars, stood on street corners, and poked their heads out of windows, asking in a challenging voice: "Do you think we'll ever lose one?"
They referred to their beloved Brooklyn Dodgers, who have just reeled off nine straight victories to tie the modern getaway record made by the Giants in 1918. And they tied it with a no-hit, no-run game hurled by a pitcher who was ditched by the Cubs as washed-up, a has-been-Tex "Strongheart" Carleton.
Outside the Brooklyn orbit, strange things were happening, but these were mere trifles. What matters if the Yanks were floundering in sixth place after being held to two hips by an unknown crooked arm pitcher named Emil Bildill. . . If Red Ruffing, Yankee ace of aces, was licked by the lowly Browns for his second defeat in three starts. . . If Tommy Bridges, winner of two straight, was slugged like a bush leaguer by the Senators. . . If the Indians were going like a house fire. . . If the staggering White Sox skipped the Red Sox down.
Brooklyn was the whole show. Pennantless for 20 years the Dodgers went west with an eight-game streak and high hopes. But the wise guys said, "who have they licked?" Now everyone is sitting up and taking notice after that 3-0 triumph over the champion Reds yesterday in Cincinnati.
Carleton, the swarthy, knock-kneed Texan back from baseball's scrapheap, made the Reds do his bidding. Pete Coscarart, the Dodgers' bounding basque of a second
baseman, did the rest. He cracked a homer off Jim Turner after the milkman had walked two men in the fifth.
The Dodgers went back at the Reds again today with Hugh Casey striving to break the modern record for winning streaks at the season's beginning. He faced Bucky Walters, the national league's champion pitcher, who has won his first two starts.
In the other two national league games Hugh Mulcahy pitched the Philies to a 6-2 victory over the Pirates and the Cubs struggled from behind to beat the Bees, 8-7, in 10 innings. Al Todd's Homer was the winning punch after some lusty clouting by Hank Leiber, who drove in four runs with a homer, triple and single.
Cleveland won back the American league lead by defeating the Athletics, 10-5. Hal Trosky and Ken Keltner each hit two homers while Willis Hudlin survived in spite of 12 hits.
Emil Bildilli, up from San Antonio, squelched the Yanks as the Browns triumphed, 2-1, in the battle for fifth place. After Crossetti had tripled and Rolfe had singled in the first, Bildilli held the Yanks hitless the rest of the way, including the feat of retiring the last 19 men to face him in order. Red Ruffing was the loser.
The White Sox shelled Emerson Dickman to cover and beat the Red Sox, 9-4, behind Dungan Rigney's 6-hit pitching. Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 4. Washington slammed out 13 hits to beat Detroit, 9-4, and knock out Bridges in the bargain.
Kansas Art By Matter On Display At Thayer
Workmen completed the razing of the elaborate four-way stairway leading to the first floor entrance last week. The remainder of the entrance will serve as a balcony from the first floor rotunda. New plans call for railings and remodeling of the balcony. The only entrance into the building will be constructed at the basement level.
Kansas scenes predominate in the 22 piece exhibition of water colors and oil by Karl Mattern, assistant professor of drawing and painting. These are now on display in Thayer museum of art.
Construction of a new entrance for the north side of Frank Strong hall will proceed as soon as architect's plans are completed for remodeling the balcony, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, announced today.
Portraits of two University students, Lucille Kadel, fa'43, and Marjorie Heimbrook, fa'41, and "Parthenon of Kansas" are the only three of the seven oils that show figures. Most of the others are scenes of Kansas. One of the group, "Neons," is a Lawrence scene at the corner of Seventh and Massachusetts looking westward. "Twilight" is possibly the most noticeable of the oils because of the wide expanse of deep blue sky.
New Entrance Must Await Plans Of Architects
Two scenes of the Kaw, in winter and fall, are to be found in the water color group. The Lecompton station, a Kansas farmyard, and a winter scene viewed from Professor Mattern's window are also on display.
According to Miss Minnie Moodie, curator of the museum, this is a particularly colorful exhibition.
Two of Professor Mattern's water colors are on display in the Brooklyn museum which purchased them last year.
