Intramural Program Drawing To Close
This year's intramural program is quickly drawing to a close. Although most of the minor sports have been completed, softball play has been held up due to rain.
All softball games scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday were rained out and, unless the weather situation improves, the University champion will not be decided.
Walter J, Mikols, director of intramural athletics, said Thursday night that the final round of play is scheduled for Saturday with the playoffs beginning on Sunday.
Play Will Stop Wednesday
"We will cease all activities Wednesday and, if it keeps raining, we simply won't have enough time to get all the games in," he said.
In this case trophies will be presented only to division champions. There are three divisions in the Fraternity A, Independent A, and Fraternity B leagues.
Phi Gam and SAE are tied for the lead in the first division with 4-1 records. In division No. 2 the Delts are on top with a 5-0 record. DU, defending Fraternity A champions, have already won division No. 7 with their 4-0 record.
Hernando and Battenfeld Hall, with 4-1 records, are leading the Independent division No. 1. Oread Hall has a perfect 5-0 record and is leading Carruth-O'Leary's 4-1 record in the second division. The Chicken Pickers, with a 4-0 record, have won division No. 3.
There will be a meeting of the intramural managers Friday afternoon to discuss all of the possibilities of completing the softball season by Wednesday afternoon.
The final matches in the handball and horseshoe tournaments have been played. Alpha Epsilon Pi nosed out SAE in the handball finals to win the University championship. DU defeated Phi Kappa Tau to win the horseshoe championship.
Finals This Weekend
The finals in the tennis and badminton tournaments will be played over the weekend. SAE and Phi Delta Theta will play Sunday afternoon for the tennis championship. The Laptads will play Phi Gamma Delta for the badminton championship.
The golf tournament will be played at 7:30 a.m. at the Lawrence Country Club. If it should be cancelled due to rain, the intramural office will notify all participants.
Kansas In Last Bid For Crown
For the first time since the season opened, Kansas will go into a week-end baseball series without a lineup change. Coach Floyd Temple will start the same players that have won three of their last four games when the Jayhawkers play a 3-game series against Iowa State at Ames Friday and Saturday.
KU must sweep all three if it is to retain a mathematical chance of winning the Big Seven championship. The Jayhawkers are only $1 \frac{1}{2}$ games out of first place, but have a 65 won lost record and are fifth in the league standings.
'Best Overall Team'
After watching Iowa State club Kansas State, 13-2 and 12-6, Saturday at Manhattan, Coach Temple called them "the best overall team I have seen this year." That double victory allowed the Cyclones to move into a second place tie with Nebraska.
Kansas could tie Missouri at the top of the conference standings with a triple victory at Ames. Iowa State can do the same by winning two from the Jayhawkers. Nebraska could also climb into a tie for the lead by defeating Oklahoma twice.
Coach Temple's starting lineup for the series will be: Don Pfutzenreuter, 2b; Fuzzy Martin, rf; Barry Robertson, ss; Ron Wiley, p-lf; Jim Trombold, lb; Don Steinmeyer, 3b; Bob Marshall, cf; Barry Donaldson, c; and Eddie Dater, rf.
Wiley Will Hurl First After pitching the first game Wiley will take over left field and Martin will move to right. Larry Miller and Bob Shirley are scheduled to pitch in Saturday's doubleheader.

Thursday A Pitcher's Day In Major Baseball Leagues
It's a slugger's era but those long-
suffering pitchers have their days
and nights, too. And a few like yester-
day will have the hitters asking
who took the rabbit out of the
lively ball.

1. Bob Turley, a last-minute replacement for Whitey Ford, pitched a four-hitter and started the season's first triple play to give the New York Yankees a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Athletics. The New York staff now has a 2.71 earned run average for 24 games.
It was almost as if the umpires slipped a collection of the old dead balls into play as the following pitching feats were accomplished:
5. Jim Bunning struck out Ted Williams three times and hurled a five-hitter as the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox, 2-1.
2. Sandy Koufax, 21-year old bonus whiz, equalled the season's single game high of 13 strikeouts and yielded four hits in powering the Brooklyn Dodgers to a 3-2 decision over the Chicago Cubs.
3. Lindy McDaniel, 21-year old St. Louis Cardinal bonus boy, flipped a four-hitter and gained his first major league shutout with a 5-0 decision over the Philadelphia Philies.
4. Bob Friend, scoring his first victory since April 28, scattered seven hits in pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Milwaukee Braves.
Fine pitching was also dominant in the other two games—both of which went 10 innings. The Cincinnati Redlegs, taking over undisputed possession of first place in the National League, shaded the New York Giants, 3-2, and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 4-3.
The Pirates knocked Milwaukee out of first place when Friend survived a ninth-inning rally to win his third game. Ed Mathews homered to open the ninth and Friend yielded three more hits before he finally retired the side.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — (UP) — Qualifications for the 500-mile speedway auto race open Saturday and railbirds installed Paul Russo's Blue Novi as the logical contender for the coveted pole position.
The powerful, 8-cylinder supercharged machine blazed around the $2\frac{1}{2}$-mile oval at an average speed of better than 143 miles an hour Thursday to indicate it was ready to challenge the time trials records of 146.056 m. p. h. and 145.596 for one and four laps respectively.

Iron Liege Favored In Preakness
BALTTMORE, Md.—(UP)—Calumet Farm's Iron Liege, the Kentucky Derby winner, headed the probable lineup when the entry box closed today for tomorrow's $100,000 added Preakness Stakes.
Expected to round out the sevenhorse field were Wheatley Stable's Bold Ruler, Clifford Lusky's Federal Hill, Roslyn Farm's Inspew, Mrs. Jules Schwartz' Nah Hiss, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs' promised land and D. M. Stable's Inside Tract.
Iron Liege, Eold Ruler, the beaten Kentucky Derby favorite, and Federal Hill, the Kentucky Derby pacemaker, dominated the small field. The others did not run in the Churchill Downs classic two weeks ago.
Not since Citation in 1948 has a
three-year-old been able to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, to be run June 15 this year. Iron Liege was a strong favorite at 4 to 5 to move a step closer to that goal by adding a garland of black-eyed susans to his blanket of roses.
MONTE CARLO, Monaco —(UP) Stirling Moss of Great Britain turned in the best time trial Thursday for Saturday's 15th Grand Prix De Monaco sports car race, whipping his Vanwall Racer over the 145-meter track in one minute, 44.4 seconds. World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio was second, while Harry Schell of the U. S. and Paris was fifth.
Britain's Moss Has Best Time
