Jays Look Better
By Ted Dielman
Considering the manner in which the Varsity team played against the Alumni squad last Saturday it is the general consensus that Coach Mitchell's team will come out better in Big Eight standings next season.
Although the team has a "greater aggressiveness" and more depth than it did last year at this time it
Baseball Squad Leaves for O.U. Tilts With Books
Kansas' baseball team left early this morning for Norman, Okla, where it will have its last chance to climb out of the Big Eight cellar.
The Jayhawkers will play a single contest Wednesday afternoon and will wrap up the season Thursday in a twin bill with Oklahoma.
Decide Championship
The Jayhawkers are currently resting in the lower bunk of the conference standings directly behind Missouri.
Missouri will meet Oklahoma State at Stillwater this weekend in a series that will decide the conference champion. Oklahoma State needs but one win over Missouri for the title.
All conference play will be rounded out this week with three other series slated to be played Friday and Saturday. Missouri at Oklahoma State, Kansas State at Nebraska and Iowa State at Colorado are the remaining series.
The Kansas team worked out only one hour yesterday afternoon in preparation for the trip Coach Floyd Temple reported that all team members took their books with them on the bus so that they will not lose any study time before finals.
Study Time
Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Wednesday night and Thursday morning will be devoted to studying for the semester exams slated to start Friday.
Kansas has a 7-10 overall record and a conference mark of 3-10. In their last outings, the Jayhawkers captured two wins in a 3-game series with Kansas State.

still lacks speed in the backfield according to Coach Mitchell.
"The line is coming along pretty good although it is a little thin in spots," Mitchell said, "but our backfield could stand some speed."

According to the Alumni players there was no doubt about this year's varsity squad being better than the last one. Mike McCormack, Cleveland tackle and co-coach of the Alumni team said:
"There are more good players and they have a lot better idea of what they are doing. They did a pretty workmanlike job on us."
Although some thought that this year's alumni team wasn't quite as good as it was last year it doesn't detract from the performance of the Varsity squad.

AL LAUTER
Galen Fiss, Cleveland Browns linebacker and member of the Alumni squad said the Varsity "looked better in every department than they did a year ago."
"But our backfield still lacks that real breakaway runner and we can't really be good until we get one or two guys with the great speed that can break things wide open.
Coach Mitchell said the Varsity- Alumni game turned out "about the way" he expected it to.
"For the most part, the Varsity did a good job on the things we've had a chance to work on. We looked bad on pass defense, but you usually do when you're playing against receivers like Jim Letcavits, Homer Floyd and Harold Patterson and a passer like Strauch.
"We haven't been able to do a lot on pass defense but we'll get at that early in the fall."
Chisox Dump Washinaton
The Chicago White Sox moved into first place in the American League race last night with a 9-2 victory over Washington. The Indians dropped a 3-0 decision to Baltimore moving the Sox a half game ahead of the pack.
The squad, picked to end up fourth, was the victim of a bad draw that saw five losses go to eventual champions.
"I'd rather be lucky than good," is the password among KU's five tennis players who finished a surprise fifth in the Conference meet last weekend at Oklahoma.
Dave Coupe, No. 4 singles entry, riding the crest of nine straight singles victories, was dealt the biggest setback, losing to Frank Scarth of Oklahoma State in the first round.
