Baseball Squad Meets Nebraska This Weekend
The Jayhawker baseball team will seek its first conference victory tomorrow afternoon as the Nebraska Cornhuskers move into Lawrence for a 3-game set.
Nebraska currently stands 3-6 in the Big Eight and has a 7-10 over-all record. Kansas is residing in the conference cellar with a 0-9 mark but has a 4-13 season's record to date.
The Cornhuskers handed league leading Oklahoma State its first loss this season last weekend but dropped two other contests to the Cowboys.
The winning pitcher of the upset game, Harry Tolley, is scheduled to hurl against the Jayhawkers tomorrow in the series opener.
Leading Nebraska batsmen Dave Murakami and LeRoy Zentic also improved their batting status last weekend against Oklahoma State, which possesses the stoutest mound corps in the league. Murakami is currently batting .340 and Zentic .298.
Kansas looked toward Colorado here last week for its first league victory but received three straight setbacks instead. The Jayhawkers hold two non-conference wins over Forbes Air Force Base and one win each over Central Missouri and Washburn.
Tomorrow's single game is scheduled to start at 3:15 p.m. on Quigley Field. Saturday's doubleheader will start at 1:30 p.m.

Busy Weekend Is Scheduled For Jayhawker Golf Crew
By Ted Dielman
The next stop, and Joey figures it to be Philadelphia, should be a bout with Webb—the man the National Boxing Association says should be the first to get a crack at the winner of a proposed Carmen Basilio-Gene Fuller middleweight title bout.
Coach Waugh's team at present has a record of two wins, two losses, and one tie.
"When I lost to Webb last November (on a seventh-round knock-out), I was just too tired," said Giardello. "I was having too many bouts too fast and Webb caught me at a time when I was tired out. Webb had a lot of luck in that fight I don't think he deserves a shot at the Basilio-Fullmer winner."
KU's golf team will begin a 3-game road trip this weekend, stopping at Oklahoma tomorrow and moving on to Wichita Saturday. Both are single meets.
The NBA, which last week took the crown away from Ray Robinson, figures that the Basilio-Fullmer winner should defend the crown within 90 days against Chicago.
Giardello, who has been battling for 11 years in an up-and-down career, gained his victory over Mims by the narrowest of margins. Referee Eddie Lefond voted for him 11-88, and Judge Benny Alperstein agreed by a 95-92 count. But judge Julian Whitestone saw Mims the winner by a razor-thin margin, 95-94.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) The Kansas City Athletics were back at the .500 mark today after dropping their third straight game.
Yankees Drop A's, 7-4
The Yankees, who temporarily at least have shaken their losing ways, handcuffed the A's, 7-4, here last night to sweep the two-game set. Kansas City is now 11-11 for the year.
Giardello was more marked than Mims at the finish. He was cut over the left eye in the first round and over the right eye in the eighth.
Kansas City is idle today and begins a 14-day road trip tomorrow night in Detroit. The team returns home May 22 to meet Chicago.
Following the 2-day tour the Jaybawkers will return home for a day's rest before finishing out their dual season Monday playing Washburn at Topeka.
Giardello, ranked No. 6 in the 160-pound class, kept his title hopes alive by scoring a split decision over fifth-ranked Mims of Washington in their 10-round bout here last night.
Kansas was originally scheduled to play Wichita Wednesday but the match was postponed due to injuries on the Wichita team.
Leadoff batter Tony Kubek slammed a home run in the first inning to get the Yanks off and running.
webb, but that's not the way Giardello sees it.
New York jumped off to a 7-1 lead after three innnigs last night and the A's could never recover.
The Jayhawkers tied Missouri last Friday in the Jays' last outing, $ 7^{1/2}-7^{1/2} $ . Coach Jerry Waugh said this was better than the team had expected to do since the Tigers are one of the best teams in the Big Eight conference this year.

Coach Waugh said that Oklahoma State will probably be the favorite in the conference meet and that second place will probably be a toss-up between Missouri and Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Joey Giardello, disregarding brow cut he suffered in his nationally-televised victory over Holly Mims, today bid for a re-match against Spider Webb to "prove" his right to a shot at the vacant NBA middle-weight championship.

A's starter Bob Grim failed to get a man out as he and reliefer Ralph Terry were touched for three runs. The Yanks plated three more in the second on Norm Seibern's homer with two mates aboard.
"Our boys have improved quite a bit since the start of the season," Coach Waugh said.
The Washburn meet Monday will be the final one for the Jayhawkers before the conference meet May 15-16 at Oklahoma.

Stanley Frank Musial took his individual stance today on the door-step of another exclusive club.
The only A's bright spot was the fine relief stint by Bud Daley. He held the New Yorkers to two harmless hits over a six-inning span.
Musial Approaches New Exclusive Club
The Man, who joined the 3,000 hit circle almost a year ago, slugged his 399th major league homer and his first of the year Wednesday night as the St. Louis Cardinals turned back the Philadelphia Phils, 8-7.
Never less than a 300 hitter and in the double figures, homer-wise, 16 of 17 active with St. Louis. Musial had his best homer season in 1948, when he clouted 39 and was voted the National League's Most Valuable Player for the third time.
The Yankees slapped out 12 hits.

Art Ditmar garnered the win, his first of the season.

Giardello's brows are a concern to his handlers, for only a month ago he underwent an operation to repair the tissue above his left eye.
However, Giardello claimed that none of the cuts which had been operated on were reopened during last night's fight. The cuts he suffered were new ones and, despite their ugly appearance, minor. He insisted they would not interfere with his career.
There were no knockdowns in the bout, which drew a near-capacity crowd of 2.000 to Capital Arena.
