to the plate as the first batter and paired heist. Jack Sacks, the hurling first baseman took a turn at the pitching chores when he relieved Burge late in the contest. Kansas will have a work of pitches to work on today's content. Beas or Dugan will probably get the call to duty.
We hang our head in shame for being scoped by every newspaper in the Middle West on Ralph Conger's new contract with Wentworth. In case the Military Academy doesn't already know it, it's getting one of the finest prep school coaches ever. The coaching is very close to perfect. When he was at Smith Center, his teams were the best in the state. Since he left, Smith Center hasn't had an哎 coach at. At Kansas Conger has not had much of a break. A freshman coach works every bit as hard as a variety coach and gets none of the money. And his baseball teams have been great teams when you consider the material he has had to work with.
Burge's home run yesterday calls to mind his peculiar batting stance. If you have watched the St. Louis boy at the plate you know what we mean. He uses what is called an "open stance". His feet are close together and he practically faces the pitcher and lets him bunt all the time. This stance is being used by many of the major league hitters this year. We are told that "Ducky" Medwick is batting that way. This method offers opportunity for hitting but not for long range work. That's why Burge's home run is more or less of a surprise. What sort of hit the ball coming in from the pitcher better and tell what sort of stuff it has on it.
We would like to take this opportunity to correct an error which appeared in this column yesterday. When speaking of Captain Foy's time in the 100 at Manhattan last week we said he ran 9.7. The truth of the matter is that he can run a tenth of a second faster than that. He negotiated the century in 9.6. Sorry Lyle. You run the thing that快 against Missouri Saturday and we'll eat the whole silly column.
Broodings while looking for a four leaf clover in Memorial Stadium; Kansas is going to have a world of sprinters next year . . . We can'w be wait for the first duel between Dick Koeltel and Kenny Hamilton, freshman quarter mile, is going to be one of the stand outs next Spring . . . J. R. Jones will contest Missouri' Soil Shumitsky's right to dominate the Big Six broad jumping pits. Lyle Sturdy is going to make Overfield
Freshman O'Hara is going to another one of those great Kansas pole vaulters.  Gwin Henry is a good track coach as well as being tops in the grid rocket.  He was helping Bill Hargill with the sprinters . . .
Burge and Bukaty Smash Home Runs as Jayhawkers Snap Out of Their Slump
- Jack Sands Gets Credit for Victory; Circuit Blows Come in the Fifth and Sixth Inning With No Men on Base; Second Game at Ames This Afternoon.
By Clavelle Holden, c'40
Ames, Iowa, May 11—The Kansas baseball team snapped out of a six game losing streak here today when it poured out a 7-5 victory over the Iowa State Cyclones. This was the first game the Jayhawkers had won since they scored a double triumph over Iowa State in Lawrence recently.
The winning difference was supplied by home runs hit by Frank Bukaty and John Burge in the fifth and sixth innings. Both blows came with the bases empty as they were the first men up in the respective innings.
In the last of the seventh the Cyclones tied the game up with a brace of runs but Kansas added one in the eighth and two in
front. In the last moment the home team made a valiant effort to save the day but failed it, she served only one run.
John Burge started for Kansas but was relieved by Sands, who got credit for the victory. The two teams will renew their rivalry again this afternoon. Big "Red" Dugan will probably be on the mound for the Jayhawkers. Dugan, in his last trip to the mount, turned in a three-hitter against Missouri but lost as his team mates failed to talty.
This game changes the standings of the number five and six teams in the Big Six. Kansas merely exchanged their cellar position with Iowa State. Should the Cyclones win today they will push the Jaw-hawkers down to the bottom ring of the Conference ladder.
The score by innings:

Kansas ... 000 211 012-7 9 5
Iowa State ... 100 100 201-5 6 3
