After this weekend things will be pretty quiet on the Hill sports scene until football practice resumes next fall.
Spring football drills will end Saturday when the varsity meets an alumni team at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Big Eight championship meets in track, tennis and golf will conclude those seasons Friday and Saturday at Norman, Okla.
Bowling, golf and sorbah indoor athletes have always clashed.
In short, everything will be finished Saturday—except baseball.
KU's varsity nine has a 3-game set with Kansas State at Manhattan this weekend but after the final game of the doubleheader Saturday, the Jayhawkers will not be able to check in their gear.
Through some scheduling freak, Kansas has a series set up at Oklahoma for the two days preceeding the start of final exams here.
Much valuable study time will be lost by the baseball players who must take the trip into Oklahoma. Some athletes may fail to make their grades because of the trip.
Two players saw their way out of this dilemma last week when they quit the team in order to study. More power to those who put their education before a baseball trip.
put then education In the past when KU lost varsity players to professional teams much was made of it. Apparently it is better to lose men this way than by ineligibility.
Next week's trip will not simply mean Wednesday and Thursday spent away from the books, but other valuable study time will be lost at Monday and Tuesday practices.
As we see it, the situation could become unhealthy. A University should be interested in its students' welfare. The only decent way the University can protect the baseball players' academic careers, is by honorably forfeiting the Oklahoma series.
Middleweight Title Picture Scrambled
PHILADELPHIA — (UPI) — The camps of both Carmen Basilio and Gene Fuller scoffed today at Sugar Ray Robinson's announcement that he has signed to defend the world middleweight championship against Basilio here Sept. 21.
Former champ Basilio, who say, all he knows of the proposed dea. is what he reads in the papers, said in Syracuse, N.Y., that the terms outlined "sound like one of Robinson's deals."
And Marv Jenson, manager of Fullmer, insisted his fighter and Basilio are signed to meet for Robinson's vacated title in Syracuse, sometime in July.
"This is just another trick by Robinson to prolong confusion in the middleweight division." Jenson said in West Jordan, Utah.
Ever since he was shorn of his crown by the National Boxing Association nine days ago, the 39-year-old Robinson has been negotiating for defenses in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas, in addition to Philadelphia.
The NBA clipped Robinson's wings for failure to defend since winning his title back from Basilio in Chicago on March 25, 1958. Robinson remains champion in the eyes of the nonmember New York Athletic Commission, but that group is ready to crack down on Sugar Ray Friday.
There was uncertainty still wheth-
G.S.P. Upperclass Wins Championship
Gertrude S. Pearson (upperclass) had little trouble defeating Delta Delta Delta 10 to 1 yesterday to win the girls' softball intramurals championship.
pitchup.
Karen Schull led the upperclassmen by hitting a bases-loaded homer in the fourth inning. Susanne Shaw pitched for GSP and Pat Morris did the catching.
The Tri-Delts scored their only run in the fourth inning. Liz Wooster and Beth Greathouse did the pitching and catching respectively for the losers.
In the consolation tournament the Courageous Counselors defeated Alpha Phi 14 to 12. Winning pitcher for the Counselors was Ramona Rush. Pat Beers was the Alpha Phi pitcher.
er Sugar Ray's signing in Philadelphia got him off the hook in New York State. Under a court order Robinson has until Friday to "enter into articles of agreement" for the Basilio fight.
The announcement of the 15-roune rubber match at Municipal Stadium, with a gross of $750,000 to $1,000,000 predicted, was made by Alfred Klein, a member of the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission.
Under the terms, Robinson would receive 45 per cent of the gate and Basilio. 20 per cent. Klein quoted Robinson that Carmen's share of the gate and television would be the largest the former onion farmer from Chittenango, N.Y., ever received for a fight.

Shelby Returns, Giving KU Cinder Squad Full Strenath
The Kansas track squad will leave for Norman. Okla., Thursday in full strength with high hopes of bringing home its eighth straight Big Eight outdoor championship.
"I think we can do it," was Coach Bill Easton's comment on the meet which wil be held Friday and Saturday.
almost every event throughout the season.
"The team is as good as it has ever been," Coach Easton said last night. "The only trouble is that the whole Big Eight field is better than it has been in the past seven years." Big Eight conference thinclads have attained national rankings in
Kansas, however, has more than its share of these national rankings and judging by the record books and Coach Easton, the team should come home victorious once again.
Coach Easton announced also that Ernie Shelby, standout spinner-broad jumper will be back in action this weekend.
Shelby missed last week's dual meet with Nebraska because of a pulled thigh muscle. Coach Easton stated that he will still hold Shelby out of the 440-yard relay so that he
will be able to concenate on the broad jump and 220-yard dash.
Last week Paul Rearick was substituted for Shelby in the 440 relay and the foursome still clocked 41.5.
Earlier Coach Easton had stated that the Jayhawkers would be in the best shape they had been in a long time if Shelby came along.
When asked about being overwhelmingly favored to take Kansas' 24th straight track title, Coach Easton replied:
Intramurals Ending
"We don't mind being favored. If you're favored, they know you have the horses."
The intramural teams started to wind up their seasons yesterday as they made up five games which had previously been rained out.
Phi Gamma Delta made the best use of the make-up games as they won their Fraternity A division championship by defeating Alpha Tau Omega 3-0.
The Fijis' victory was made possible by the 4-hit pitching of Dan Casson. The ATO pitcher, Jim Hoffman, held the Phi Gams to six hits, but that was all they needed.
Beta Theta Pi, of the fraternity B division, stayed in the running for the championship in their division by out slugging Sigma Nu 18-17.
The Betas jumped out with six runs in the first inning but fell behind as the Sigma Nu's scored 11 times in the second. The Sigma Nu's scored twice more in the third to increase their lead to seven runs. In the fourth inning the Betas picked up one run but remained six down. Then in the fifth the Betas got six to tie the score.
But the Sigma Nu's came back with four in the top of the last inning. The Betas put on a last inning rally in which they picked up five runs to win the game.
Delta Tau Delta won over Delta Upsilon 10.5-K H. defeated
In other games the Hicks defeated Stephenson 6-0 in the Independent A league. In the Fraternity B division Pi Kappa Alpha downed Delta Sigma Phi 7-0 to take the league championship.
[J. R. Pearson 11-9 in the Independent B division]
Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon,
and Phi Gamma Delta won their A
Divisions and Beta Theta Pi, Phi
Delta Theta, and Alpha Tau Omega
were the runners-up. The Hilltoppers
and the Vipers are the Independent
A teams.
The Fraternity B winners are Phi Kappa Psi and Pi Kappa Alpha, while the runners-up are Phi Delta Theta and Delta Tau Delta. One division has not yet been decided with Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, and Beta Theta Pi still in contention.
Following the make up games this week will be the Hill Championship playoffs in both the A and B divisions.
In the Fraternity A playoffs the winners in each of the three divisions and the runner-ups in each division will draw for spots. The winner of the playoff will meet the winner of the Independent A playoffs for the Hill Championship.
The outcome of the Independent B division will depend on the make-up games being played this week.

Tigers Will Forfeit Tilts
The University of Missouri announced yesterday its desire to forfeit seven Big Eight games it won this season while Gene Orf, an incligible outfielder, was in the lineup.
Missouri Coach John Simmons wrote letters stating this desire to coaches of the three teams from which Missouri won games while using Orf with another copy to conference commissioner Reaves Peters.
Kansas State, Oklahoma and Nebraska are the three teams affected.
The action would drop Missouri from a second place ranking with a 7-2 record to last place with an 0-9 record.
New York City's Bronx borough got its name from Jonas Bronck who became its first settler in 1641.
