Netmen Capture Eighth Straight Beat MU.7-0
Kansas University's red hot tennis team stroked its way to it's 8th straight victory Friday by defeating Missouri 7-0 on the varsity courts.
The Javahawkers were again led by ace Bob Riley who defeated Missouri's John Hess, 6-0, 6-2, in the No. 1 singles match. Riley's victory Friday gives him a 9-2 record for the season.
Bob needs only two more victories to give him the total of 30 that he is shooting for in his college career. Over a three-year span of varsity competition Bob has a record of 28-5.
Kansas scored a great team victory. Every man on the squad was hiting well and looked as though they were at their peak. All but one of the singles matches were won in two sets.
Ron Bevers was the only Jayhawk who had to go three sets to gain victory and he came through with some great clutch playing to do it.
Friday's match was the last one of the season for Kansas and the players will spend the rest of the week getting in shape for the Big Seven finals that start Friday in Lincoln. Neb.
This has been one of the finest seasons that a Kansas tennis team has enjoyed in quite some time. Kansas finished the season with an 8-3 record winning eight in a row after losing it's first three contests.
Coach Charlie Crawford feels that the boys have done a great job and he is very pleased with their rapid improvement.
"If we can keep playing the steady brand of tennis that we have been, we're going to be real tough this weekend at Lincoln," Crawford said.

Redlegs Win 12th Straight
The Cincinnati Redlegs, who lost the pennant on the road last year, wound up the most successful trip by a National League team in 33 years today with a conviction that home is where you make it.
In a whirlwind tour of five cities the Redlegs accomplished the following:
1. Scored 12 straight victories to equal their modern club record and achieve the longest winning streak in the majors in four years.
2. Ran to 14 a string of road games without a defeat—three short of the major league mark set by the 1916 New York Giants.
3. Made up the $5^{1/2}$-game gap which existed between them and the Milwaukee Braves on April 28 to return home tied for first place.
The Redlegs "made it an even dozen" Sunday when they whipped the Chicago Cubs, 7-5 and 7-1, with Paul Sanchez and Don Gross each picking up his second victory and Frank Robinson driving in four runs with six hits during the course of the doubleheader. The braves, meanwhile, kept even with the Redlegs by sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2 and 10-4.
It is against the law for Lisbon's fishwives to go barefoot. But bare feet are a tradition of centuries, so many Portuguese street vendors carry shoes in their baskets and pop them on only when a police officer comes into view.

Golfers Finish Season By Winning 13 Straight
The Jayhawker golf team ended its regular season play Friday afternoon by smashing Missouri, $14\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$, at the Lawrence Country Club. It was the team's 13th consecutive victory.
City sophomore; Gene Elstun, Kansas City, Kan. senior; Bob Wood, Liberal sophomore and coach Mike Chalfant.
Missouri scored its half point when Bud Conklin, playing in the No. 1 position for the Tigers, eked out a 2nd nine tie against Gene Elstun. They had three-over-par 39's.
The Elstun-Conklin match was a close one all the way with Elstun having a one-up lead coming into the par four 18th hole. Off the 18th tee Elstun sprayed his drive into a group of trees while Conklin was down the middle.
Elstun chipped close and was given a chance when Conklin blew his birdie putt. But Elstun missed his four-footer to give the Tigers their only score.
The Kansas ace recovered well, but left the ball a few feet short of the green; Conklin hit a beautiful approach shot six feet from the hole.
KU's Jim Davies had a 78 and shut out the temperamental Bill Hawks, who had an 82. The most interesting thing about this match was Hawks' club throwing exhibition.
The world's forests cover about 10 billion acres, an area approximately equal to that of the western hemisphere.
Bob Wood, another sophomore, accomplished a rare feat when he used only 21 putts in his round. He won medalist honors for the day with his two-over-par 74, and easily bettered Ira Smith's 85. Wood took just ten putts on the front nine and 11 on the 2nd nine.
Sophomore Bill Toalson had a 78 and shut out Jim Fearber's 84. Team captain Bill Sayler shot 75 and shut out Bob Martin, who had an 80.
Of the 500 or more kinds of bats distributed throughout the world, the fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, are the largest.
The team played an informal practice match with the freshman team Sunday and won easily.
The only test remaining for the Jayhawkers is the Big Seven tournament, which will be played at Lincoln, Nebraska on May 17 and 18.
The Kansas team found the Lincoln course to its liking when it defeated Nebraska $ 10\frac{1}{2} -4\frac{1}{2} $ on May 4.

The Big Eight sounds a little different but Midwestern sports fans may have to get used to it.
Oklahoma A & M, which has been trying to get into the Big Seven Conference for at least seven years, may get its chance at the annual meeting of conference officials Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Lincoln. The Aggies have, according to A. C. Lonborng, athletic director, seeked admission to the Big Seven every year since he came to Kansas.
Although the issue has not been placed on the directors agenda yet, A & M seems to have a better chance of getting in this year than ever before.
However, there still may be opposition. Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa State are known to have been against admitting the Aggies. It is rumored though, that two of these schools may have a change of heart. All seven schools must be in accord before A & M can be admitted.
The Oklahoma Board of Regents recently voted that Oklahoma schools should favor the Aggies' admittance into the Big Seven. This move erased any objections Oklahoma University might have had to A & M's coming in to the Big Seven. The Sooners had previously opposed moves to admit the Aggies, their cross-state rivals.
"Oklahoma A & M has a very fine athletic program," Lonborg said.
They are certainly tops in basketball, wrestling and swimming, have very fine track and baseball programs and are building in football.
