University Daily Kansan SPORTS Baseball Decides All-Sports Title
The Kansas Jayhawkers, the darkhorse of the Big Eight baseball race still have a mathematical chance at the league crown.
The Jayhawkers will meet fourth place Oklahoma in a single game Wednesday and a doubleheader here Thursday. To have a chance at the baseball title, the Jayhawkers will have to sweep the series.
Whether the KU-Oklahoma series means the baseball crown or not, the series should settle the league all-sports title for the year. Oklahoma currently leads KU by one-half point and can clinch the mythical title by finishing ahead of KU in the baseball race.
Coach Floyd Temple will send Larry Miller, Ron Wiley and Gary Russell to the mound against the Sooners. Over the weekend the Jayhawkers climbed from fourth place to third by sweeping three in a row from Kansas State.
In other Big Eight baseball action this week, Nebraska is at Kansas State, Colorado at Iowa State and Oklahoma State at Missouri.
The O-State-Missouri series should settle the title as Missouri is first in the race with a 11-3 record. O-State is a close second with a 13-4 record.
'It's Not Right'-Duke Snider
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — (UP) — "I don't think it's right," countered Duke Snider today when told Los Angeles vice-president and general manager, E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi, laid the Dodgers' troubles in the National League this year right in his lap.
"Mr. Bavasi hasn't said a word to me about it," said the 31-year-old star, who has gotten off to a slow start this season. "We have been good friends for a long time." Snider commented in a tone of disappointment.
"Instead of telling me how he feels, he tells reporters. He should talk to me. I don't think it's right and that's all I'm going to say. Mr. Bavasi knows I can't hit right now but will be up there again when my knee heals," Snider said.
Bavasi leveled the charge yesterday that Snider's "silly accident" in a car crackup during spring training contributed to the Dodgers' last place showing in the league after more than a month of basbeall.
The Dodger official said doctors told him Duke's left knee, which had been operated on last December for a calcium deposit, was "recovering beautifully" before the pre-dawn accident at Vero Beach, Fla. Snider's knee was hurt in the crash and that resulted in his slow start. Bavasi said.
