THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE FOUR TUESDAY MAY 1, 1928 Top Place Honors in Baseball to Be Closely Contested Jayhawkers Need Pitchers Kansas Aggies Spring Upset by Early Showing At present the baseball title of 1923 is very much in the balance with practically all of the seven Missouri teams, and there have been a chance at first bonus. Oklahoma was the 1927 champions and was figured to be very much in the spotlight during the season, but they already have been defeated four times and they cannot win. Missouri was picked by many sports followers to put in a strong bid, but with their record showing five defeats to Florida and Arizona, running unless they win the rest of their games, and the final standings result in a first-place among seven. Two Aggie Teams Ahead Kansas Aggies and Oklahoma Agies top the standings with impressive showings to date. The Kansas were very uncertain at the start of the year but they have uncovered some exept cases, including one made the team a decided contender. The Oklahoma have a fine bure in Ab Wright, all-around star, who have one or two others who toose good advice to support a fair fight otherwise. Ames is an unknown quantity, as the Cyclones have yet to engage in a race with the Devil. On the urdur day of this week they come to Lawrence for a two-game series with Kane. Washington has shown a surprising reversal of form after a poor beginning and may yet cause trouble. Kansas needs a winning pitcher besides apples does appear the team may be said to have a 60% winner and nothing else. Kansas Needs Winning Hurler Ramses Needs *WINNING HITTER* It is too much to expect one pitcher to do all the work. He is good for one day, but is not the iron-man type. He needs a few adjustments and a winning staff of moundmen but when valyky opposition is met it is Kanns has one of the best, if not the worst. He is inflicted. The inflict, though not perfect, is strong defensively, and can hit hard. Kern is about the class of the confer-menter. Every team has its weakness, and in that respect it appears that the best teams are those that stay off as others in the valley. That means that this year's race should be one of the closest in years, with every winning in the deciling of the 1928 title.

He has been helping in coaching the new men and women next year to assist the coaching staff. A number of the basketball men are unable to work out regularly at present because of special studying and outside interests. Among those reporting most regularly are, Forest Cox, T. C. Bishop, Tommy Scales, T.J. Bickley, Floyd Ramsay, Leroy Pitmany and Carlos Fatty of the freshman squad. Others have been in varsity squad; and Claude Whitfield, a new man who has shown good form in the game. Doctor Allen stated that he was very much pleased with the interest shown in spring work, and especially of the new men coming on next season. Oklahoma turned tragedy to triumph recently at the Pennsylvania Relays, when, having turned up too late to run in the distance mule rey experience the long trip, three numbers of the team decided to run the 3,000 meter steeplechase, an event entirely new to the runners. Harold Keith, distance winner, and two-miler turned in a brilliant performance by outdistancing the field 50 yards. This triumph stumps him as an almost sure shot for the Olympic team. Carson, a team-mate, took the lead, the other entrant, was fifth. Read the Kansan want ads. Language of the Air Shock cord—An elastic member connecting the landing wheel or other parts of a vehicle.

Kindsvater's New Method Is More Economical Methods of controlling the ratio used in the mixing of cement have received special notice among engineers. A large amount of work is in an effort to lower the cost of the materials as well as increasing the efficiency of the cement. Through much research work on the matter a method has been developed, called Kinderswater, of the department of civil engineering, which is receiving heavy accord from other engineers in this field. By this change in ratio it was found that the concrete on the north side is far superior to that in the other two wings, that it was much easier to place and that it has the average compressive strength of 69 inch. The material used in mixing the concrete consisted mainly of Oread limestone and Kaw river sand. In an article entitled "Water Cement Ratio Method Reduces Cost and Raises the Quality of Concrete Stainless," printed in the April number of Concrete Highways and Public Improvements, and Water Cinderblock Kidneywater, methods are given by which one-half sack of cement was applied to the northern circle of the stadium. Kansas has been springing surprises on all sport followers in tennis. With a new and untried team, the Jay-hawkers have yet to lose a valley game. They have done all the work thus far, and have performed in fashion vanilla fashion.

The real contest developed into one of cheering, with the leather-lunged Beta's opposing the bellowing Sigma Chi's. The actual athletic combat on the floor was less impressive; the teams assumed a secondary role except insofar as they primarily furnished the inspiration for the taunts and boasts of the rooting sections. At times, the players have impressed who might have been coming over the Hill at 7:30.

City Originated and Destroyed by Earthquake by Earthquake . . . . . Reports from the ancient city indicate that the shocks there have not been serious, so that the task of archaeologists who are excavating there will not be made more difficult than they were in the burial under forty feet of soil and debris. The city was sacked and raided by the Romans and then a century later was rebuilt by Julian Caesar, and from time to time in its history a military base became similar with warfare and invasions and new buildings set over the ruins of the city. Washington, May 1—*The city of Corinth, which has been completely shaken to pieces by earthquakes this month, is learning as the result of an earthquake.* Rains of the modern Corinth lie three miles away from the ruins of the famous old Corinth of classic Greek fame. Old Corinth suffered from earthshaking at intervals in its ancient city of Bactria, which is leveled by the rocking of the earth that the people moved to new ground and built a new city. Now, the new city is so body wrestled that it has no room for its boats is practically given up. Archaeologists have removed thousands of tons of earth to reach a temple in the ancient city of Athens, and some of the most remarkable wall painting of Greece has been discovered.
