Golfers, Netmen Play Washburn Tomorrow Kansas State Comes Here
Beginning with matches tomorrow at Topeka with Washburn College, the golf and tennis teams have a busy week ahead. Thursday Kansas State invades Lawrence for a dual meet, and Saturday the teams journey to Lincoln, for return matches with Nebraska.
Coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub's netmen meet an undefeated team at Topeka tomorrow. Earlier in the season, Washburn scored a 4 to 2 win over Kansas State and defeated Wichita University Saturday, 5 to 1. The Jayhawk tennis men won a 5 to 1 victory over Wichita, their first win of the season, last Wednesday.
Washburn was to have played golf and tennis matches here April 17, but the matches were postponed because of rain that afternoon and will probably be played the week of May 6-11.
Howard Engleman, varsity number one man, Kermit Franks and Conrad Voelker will make the trip to Topeka. Coach Uhrlaub was undecided this morning as to who would play the number three spot and make up the fourth member of the team.
Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bill McEhenny and Bob LaGree will represent Kansas in the golf matches. Playing on a soft, wet course, Ritchie shot a 76 to lead the linkmen to a 9 to 9 tie in their meet with Missouri Saturday. He shot his lowest match score, a one-under-par 71, against Wichita last Wednesday, but the Big Six defending champions lost the meet 12 to 6, in their only setback of the 1940 season.
Wakeland has been playing in the middle 70's for Coach Shannon's men in matches played this season. McElhenny, number three man, carded scores in the 70's in practice matches, but has been unable to score below an 83 in meets. The number four spot has been filled by Bob LaGree, who has been playing in the lower 80's, to give Kansas a well-rounded team to meet Washburn.
Washburn bowed to Wichita University, the team that handed the Jayhawks their only defeat, 16 to 2, Saturday. Jack Wormington led the Ichabod golfers with an 80.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
It is a really big sports week for the Jayhawker athletic teams this week. Our netmen and linkmen meet three visitors, while our cindermen engage the Kansas State Wildcats here Saturday—all events will take place if the weather permits.
On Wednesday, our golfers and tennis players will meet Washburn on their links and courts in Topeka. Then on Thursday, the Jayhawker teams meet the Kansas State Aggies on our course and courts. But on Saturday, the Kansas teams will journey to Lincoln to play another Big Six match against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
But this is not the half of it—because the K.U. diamond team plays the Huskers on our field Friday and Saturday afternoon. So all of the coaches, fans and participants are hoping for GOOD weather, which is especially missing in Kansas.
Intramural matches and baseball schedules have been rained out lately and the intramural office reports that it is running far behind on its schedule.
Hats off to Glenn Foy . . . . . . who was the only Kansas man to even place in the Drake Relays last Saturday. Foy, brother of Lyle Foy, K.U. cinder captain last year, won a fourth place in the 440-yard low hurdles. This race is very seldom seen in these parts, and to my knowledge, only the Drake Relays and the National A.A.U. meet in the summer carry this event on the program. . . Reports that Foy was second until he stumbled on the second from last hurdle, have reached our ears through members of the Jayhawkter track team. . . Considering that this is the first time that Glenn had ever run these distance hurdles, he should be given credit.
Warning to al intramural participants. . . it is rumored that there will be an intramural track meet, so if any of you Jesse Owens' wish to participate, you had better heie it down to the indoor track and get into condition as much as you can, because no matter how much you think you are in condition, just wait until you run in the intramural meet.
From the Big Ten Conference comes the info that Bill de Correvont, Northwestern football ace, is out on the baseball diamond now and he is whipping out trouble already.

Will Play Three Matches
BULLETIN
Spring basketball practice will start tomorrow at 3:30, according to Dr. "Phog" Allen. There will be practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Practice the next two weeks will be on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the same time. All those interested should check out equipment immediately.
K.U.-Hawk Ball Game Postponed
A heavy downpour of rain fell about 11 o'clock this morning, transforming the Rockhurst baseball diamond into a veritable quagmire, washed away all hopes the Jayhawkers had entertained of getting back into stride this afternoon after Friday's loss to Iowa State.
BULLETIN
The game will probably be played in Kansas City sometime next week, but the day has not been decided upon as yet.
With no end in sight to the present rainy weather, Coach Mike Getto can do nothing else but send his men through a workout under the stadium. This is little better than no practice at all, and it can't be compared to the experience the Jayhawks would have received had they been able to play today's game.
Part of the Jayhawks' poor showing last Friday afternoon was due to youth and inexperience, but a great deal of the blame must be laid on their lack of opportunity to practice.
Iowa State defeated Kansas decisively, and yet yesterday the Cyclones lost to Kansas State by a score of 9 to 7. Last week, the Wildcats played four games with Oklahoma and Oklahoma A. and M., and undoubtedly this is one of the main reasons for their improvement.
K. State Beats Cyclones
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are scheduled to meet Kansas in a pair of games this weekend, but if the weather continues as it has in the past, the odds are against getting the series played.
Among stars of the Nebraska nine, who should be familiar to Kansas fans, are Sid Held, lanky basketball star, and Herman Rohrig, ace of the Cornhusker backfield last football season. Held pitches, while Rohrig plays in the outfield.
A meeting of the Home Economics Club executives was held at 4:30 this afternoon with Olga Hoesley, associate professor of home economics. Plans were discussed for a home economics banquet.
Home Economics Club Meets
Square Garden, on May 28. . . They have more run than anybody calling each other "a bum." Unless one of them begins to show a little real fighting ability, Joe Louis will show them both that they are bums. . . For me, I'll go against the regular trend of thought and pick the Livermore, Cal., playboy, Maxie Baer.
Jayhawkers and Aggies Renew Old Cinder Rivalry
Kansas and Kansas State renew their long-time rivalry on the cinder track Saturday, in the last track meet to be held here this spring.
The Jayhawks were victorious in their two dual meet appearances on the local field last spring, but are not very confident about Saturday's engagement. Last year Kansas, defeated Nebraska and Missouri in dual meets here.
The pole vault is another event where Kansas must score heavily in order to have any chance of winning the meet. Jack O'Hara, sophomore vaulted 12 feet 9 inches at the Kansas Relays and Bill Beven, a letterman, cleared the same height indoors.
Kansas State's strength is concentrated in the weight events and the distance runs. In the shot put, discuss throw, mile run and two-mile run, the Wildcats expect to amass a large number of points.
Leading scorer for the Jayhawks may be Darrell Mathes, junior sprinter, who is rated as the favorite in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Louis Akers, Kansas State's sprint star, has been on the shelf with a leg injury.
Elmer Hackney, of Kansas State, will lead the Wildcats in their bid for victory. The big weight star should win the shot put easily, with the main question being, whether or not he will set a new record here.
Comparison of Relays Records
Dick Peters is another heavy favorite and should have no difficulty winning the discus throw. Bill Vanderbilt of Kansas State, looks good for second place in both the shot put and discus throw.
In the two mile run, High, Clingman and Kelley stand a good chance of sweeping the event for the Wildcats. Ray Harris, Kansas captain and distance star, is still on the ailing list.

Rifle Teams Meet Tonight To Dceide Picnic Sponsor
The men's and women's rifle teams will compete in their annual match tonight at 7 o'clock on the rifle range in the basement of Fowler Shops. The losers of the match will treat the winners to a picnic at the State Lake at Tonganoxie.
Fifteen members on each side not in the contest. Out of the 30 targets fired, 20 of the best will be chosen and compared to decide the winner. Although the men have won for the last three years in succession, according to the captain of the men's team, Ted Raymond, c'40, they held a secret practice last night as further insurance against having to dig down in their pockets to treat the women.
The date of the picnic has not been announced yet.
