Iowans Meet Jayhawkers
Burge on Mound For Game Today; Wilson to Start
By Bob Trump, c'42
A miniature tornado wearing the uniform of the Iowa State baseball team was scheduled to descend up the varsity diamond at 3 o'clock this afternoon, but the Kansas Jayhawks hope to have it slowed down to a stiff breeze by nightfall, and plan on completing the process in the second game of the series tomorrow afternoon.
John Burge was Coach Mike Getto's starting choice for this afternoon's struggle, while Leon Wilson, ace of the Cyclone staff, was nominated by Coach "Can"
was nominated by Coach Cup Tim to do the pitching for the visitors.
Iowa In Last Night
The Iowa State squad arrived in Lawrence by train at 11:30 last night and will meet both Kansas State and Oklahoma before returning to Ames.
One name was erased from the Jayhawkers' hospital list before practice started yesterday, but another was added before the session ended. Ray Napier, injured short stop, reported to Mike Getto and proceeded to demonstrate he was in shape to play again, and so he was given a starting berth in today's game.
Dean Martin Injured
However, Dean Martin, Kansas outfielder, who had almost won the center field position from Larry Hensley, received a painful nose injury when he was hit by a thrown ball, as he tried to steal third base. An examination was to be made this morning to ascertain the extent of the injury. In the meantime Hensley goes back to center field.
A reinforcement for the pitching staff made its appearance last night when Marvin Vandaveer, who has been working out with the team since the conclusion of spring football practice, hurled several innings in a varsity-freshman game. Vandaveer is not yet in shape, but he gave indication that he may be able to help shoulder the pitching load in a few more days.
Knute Kresie will go after his second victory of the season in tomorrow's game. He will probably be opposed by Willard Mylenbusch, winner of two decisions so far this spring.
Showers Soak Drake Track For Thirty-first Relays
Des Moines, Iowa, April 26.—(UP) Rain soaked the track where today more than 3,000 athletes compete in the 31st annual Drake Relays and officials doubted that there would be many record breaking performances in the two-day meet.
The forecast was for cloudy weather with occasional showers today and for showers tomorrow. Track caretakers said that one day of sunshine would be necessary to put the field in condition as one of the fastest in the nation.
On the program were finals in seven events, among them the two mile run, the university distance and sprint medleys, the broad jump and discus throw. Preliminaries were scheduled in other events.

Edwards Brings Linkmen; Netmen Here for Meet
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Just in case you want to see an exhibition of baseball that will probably be the farthest from a baseball game, go down to Holcom Grove in Lawrence this next Sunday afternoon. The "battle of the century" will be staged between the African Zulu's team of Detroit, Mich, and the Lawrence Semi-Pros.
The Zulu's are a group of Negroes from Detroit, and all are over 6 feet tall. They wear African grass skirts and some type of native shoe. No telling how much they know about baseball.
On a short trip to Topeka yesterday, I dropped out to visit Coach Fred Powers, Topeka high school track coach. Powers was busy using his team into shape for the annual Baker Rclays to be held in Baldwin Saturday. The Trojans are the defending champions, but so far this season, they have been unable to get under way. Forest Slaughter, big Negro sprint man, looks pretty good in the dashes, while Jack Serrett runs very smoothly in the quarter.
When the K.U. team left for Drake yesterday afternoon, only one man went along to participate in the individual events. That single contestant was Glenn Foy, who will complete against Fred Wolcott, Rice, in the 120-yard high hurdles. The other nine Kansas men will race in relays events only.
Did you happen to see the cartoon that Sord, NEA cartoonist drew of Wolcott for that syndicate? . . . It was a great play-up of the coming Drake Relays and he illustrated how Wolcott was one of the best hurdlers in years, but to top this off, Sord called him Joe Wolcott.
12 INNINGS . . . That is a long time to play baseball in any man's game. . . . But Kansas City and Louisville pitched it out for 12 innings yesterday before Kansas City could nose out the Colonels, 3 to 0.
The Lawrence-Ottawa high school track meet that was supposed to have been held Tuesday, has been postponed a week, 'till next Tuesday
In the American League, the Boston Red Sox, one of the favorites in the title race, has just purchased Joe Glenn, who failed to come to an agreement with the St. Louis Browns and did not sign. . . His signing deadline was last night, so he took the Red Sox offer instead. . . . Also last night was the deadline for Frankie Pytlak to sign with the Cleveland Indians, but he also failed to sign. . . He recently said that he didn't care whether he signed or not, but that he
Tigers Invade K.U. for Golf; Net Matches
Jayhawk golfers and netmen meet their second Big Six foe within a week, when the University of Missouri teams invade Lawrence tomorrow afternoon for a dual meet. In addition to the regular meet, matches, practice matches for other members of the golf and tennis souads have been scheduled.
The University golf and tennis teams reversed their usual run of luck against Wichita University, Wednesday, when the linkmen lost their first meet of the spring season, and "Dutch" Uhrlaub's men hit their stride after several previous losses in scoring a 5 to 1 win.
The Tiger golfers swamped Westminster College, 18 to 0, in their opening meet, but later in the season lost to Oklahoma, last year's Big Six runner-up, 19 to 2. Bob Hogeboom captains the Missouri team, and will play the number 1 position against Kansas.
Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland are the only certain starters in tomorrow's meet. Qualifying rounds are being held this afternoon to determine who will play the number 3 and 4 positions. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray filled these places in the first two meets, but Coach Shannon substituted Bob LaGree in the number 4 slot against Wichita. LaGree came through with an 81.
Coach George Edwards, Tiger golf and tennis coach, will bring six golfers, enabling two practice matches to be held. These matches will not be counted in determining the meet score.
All matches will be played on the Lawrence Country Club course.
According to tennis coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub, eight men will see action against the Tiger netmen on the courts southwest of the stadium. Howard Engleman and Kermit Franks will again play the first two positions, against the team which was runner-up in last year's Big Six meet.
In the other singles matches, Jack Floyd, Conrad Voelker, Warren
would just stay out of baseball a year if he had to.
If Kansas had three more players like Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland on the golf team, K.U. would have little trouble defending their Big Six title. . . But right now three boys, Bill Gray, McElhenny, and Bob Lagree are fighting it out for the number 2 and 3 positions. . . All of the boys tour the Lawrence Country Club in about 82 or 83. . . Yesterday, McEhenny pulled through with a 76.
3,000 Athletes In Penn Relays
Philadelphia, April 26.—(UP) The cream of college, university and prep school track and field athletes in the south, east and parts of the middlewest converged on Franklin field today for the forty sixth annual running of the Penn Relays.
Twenty-eight events are on today's program and 48 on tomorrow's. The carnival drew approximately 3,000 athletes from 500 schools.
Titles to be decided between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. today include the special 120-yard high hurles, the two - mile run, the 400 - meter hurdles, shot put, discus throw and the distance and sprint medley relays, billed as for the "championship of America."
The 120-yard high hurdles, with Frank Fuller of Virginia, attempting to defend the title he won last year, is one of three special events on this year's card. The other two—tomorrow—the one-mile run, bringing together those three old rivals, Chuck Fenske, Glenn Cunningham and Gene Venske as well as Walt Mehl of Wisconsin, and the 100-yard dash.
Shupe, Charles Snyder, Bob Minor,
and Harris will probably see action.
Engleman and Floyd, Franks and
Voelker, Harris and Snyder, are the
combinations for the doubles events.
Goin' down to Carl's and "stock up" on Spring Clothes.
