Net Team Seeks Revenge From Kansas State
Charlie Crawford's netmen will be out to get revenge for their defeat earlier this year when they meet the Kansas State Wildcats this afternoon on the varsity courts.
The Jayhawkers were defeated earlier this season by Kansas State, 6-1, at Manhattan. The only man to capture a victory for KU was No. 1 man Bob Riley who defeated Dick Circle of Kansas State 6-3, 6-4.
Seek Seventh Victory
Kansas will be shooting for its seventh victory in a row this afternoon, and much of its success will be in the hand of sophomores Ron Bevers, Lynn Sieverling and Bob Peterson. These boys have been the key to the team's winning streak. KU now owns a 6-3 record for the season.
"When we played K-State the first time, we were very inexperienced. But now with a few matches under our belt we are in a good position to give them a rough time." Crawford said. Also, it was the first time many of the boys had played indoors.
Sieverling Moves Up
Sieverling Move Up
Lynn Sieverling will be playing in the No. 3 spot and Ron Bevers will take over the No. 4 position for this match. Sieverling defeated Bevers Sunday in a challenge match to move up the ladder. Bevers, although moved down a notch, will continue to team with Riley in the No. 1 doubles combination.
Golfers Look For Twelfth
The Lawyer
Defeated Wildcats In Rain
The Kansas golf team will be after its 12th consecutive victory today when it meets Kansas State at the Lawrence Country Club.
The Jayhawkers scored their first victory of the season against Kansas State on April 18. The match was played in a driving rain with KU gaining an 8-4 decision.
Playing for Kansas in today's match will be Gene Elstun, Bill Toalson, Jim Davies, Bill Sayler, and Don Wilson.
K-State's Smith Ineligible
Wilson's only appearance in varsity competition this year was against Iowa University when he shot an 84.
Kansas State will be playing without the services of Dave Smith, who is scholastically ineligible this semester. Last year Smith finished third in the Big Seven medal play tournament and defeated Kansan Bobby Richards in a dual match.
The Kansas State team consists of Ron Young, Dave Pfutze, Jerry Smith, and Joe Downey. Their fifth man has not yet been named.
Wheelchair Athletes To Vie
GARDEN CITY, N. Y. — (UP) — Seventy wheelchair athletes will compete in races, archery, javelin throw, darts, basketball free throw, and table tennis during the first National Wheelchair Games at Adelphi College June 1.
By GEORGE ANTHAN (Assistant Sports Editor of The Daily Kansan)
A lot of people interested in basketball, others interested in the building and the paying off of field houses and even others who are merely considering the possibility that insanity reigns at our institutions of higher learning are waiting for a 7-foot sophomore from Philadelphia, Pa. to decide whether or not a college education is worth thirty or forty thousand dollars.
It's an inexplainable something. It could be that feeling that makes watching a college game so much more satisfying than looking at ten giant pros skillfully manipulating a basketball.
Whether Wilt Chamberlain decides to stay or leave Kansas is said to be news now but already it seems something intangible has left college basketball—never to return, maybe.
Those pros are doing a job as well as they know how—like the clowns in a circus or the two overage, overweight wrestlers who grapple in a smokefilled arena to a pre-determined decision.
Is college basketball becoming tainted, ever so slightly, by this aura of professionalism. Is the same decadence overtaking the game which overtook the Olympic games in ancient Greece?
when overtook the Olympic games. This Wilt Chamberlain caused a furor when he came to Kansas—his premature departure, if there is to be one, will cause another furor.
But a university is being humbled here, in a sense. An institution which has, for decades, commanded respect over the nation is suffering. Now, in a time when a school's fame is based on the success of its athletic teams, the athletic department is not distinguished from the university proper in the mind of the average critic.
But the problem that brings itself into the open because a Chamberlain hints he might leave a school is too great for one school alone to solve. Maybe it's too great to be solved at all. Then again, maybe it's not a problem at all—who can really say.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) — The Kansas City Athletics, back in fourth place in the American League thanks to three straight victories over the Washington Senators, meet the Baltimore Orioles tonight in the first of two games that close out the current home stand.
The A's will start fire-balling Ryne Duren for the second time. The Orioles plan to use Hector Brown (1-0). Duren has one loss, to the New York Yankees, but the bespeckled young man gained considerable prestige form his fast ball in that game.
A's Back In Fourth Place
Rookie Outfeilder Jim Pisoni hit a grand slam home run to power the A's to an 8-2 win over the Senators yesterday as the A's swept the three-game series.
Gino Cimoli, a player the Brooklyn Dodgers tried to trade off but couldn't all winter, homered in the 14th inning Monday night to defeat the Braves, 5-4, and give Sandy Koufax his first victory.
The Chicago Cubs whipped the New York Giants, 6-2, in the only other National League Game while the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers, 8-6, in 13 innings.
Pisoni's blow came in the six-
run, six-hit first inning off Chuck

Ned Garver went the distance for the A's, giving up six hits to win his second game against one loss.
