KU Darkhorse In Race Now
The Kansas baseball team must now be considered a dark horse in the Big Eight conference race following its two losses at the hands of Nebraska last weekend.
The fourth place Jayhawkers must sweep their 3-game series with Kansas State this weekend while the conference leader, Oklahoma State must drop at least two games in its series with Iowa State in order that the Jayhawkers can have a chance at the crown.
In the title drive, Oklahoma State, 11-3, leads the race, followed by Oklahoma, 9-3, Missouri, 8-3 and Kansas, 8-5.
Following the three games this week, each loop team has only three conference games remaining. The title will be determined on a percentage basis, which means Oklahoma State, newcomer to the league, could all but sew it up this week.
Baseball action last week saw Oklahoma State regain the lead by taking three straight from Colorado. Missouri dropped to third by winning two of three from Iowa State, and Oklahoma took over second by sweeping three from K-State.

Top Drivers In Stock Race
ROANOKE, Va. — (UP)— More than 30 top-ranked drivers are expected to take part in the first Grand National Stock Race program here Thursday night. The field will be led by three Nascar champions — Buck Baker of Spartanburg, S. C., Bob Wellborn of Greensboro, N. C., and Jim Reed of Peeksbill, N. Y.
Sophs Rising In Grid Picture
The checklist lines up this way . . . Norm Mailen, Clay Center fullback; Bill Zager, Arma fullback; Doyle Schick, Lawrence fullback; Ron Michaels, Hiawata halfback; Sam Simpson, Worland, Wyo. end; Joe Spreckelmeyer, Fort Worth, Texas end; Joe Doolittle, Tarzana, Calif. tackle; Bill Allen, North Kansas City, Mo. end; Stan Kirshman, Jefferson City, Mo. guard, and Chuck Lukinac, Muncie halfback.
Ten sophomores have forced recognition as Kansas reached the end of the second week of spring football practice.
Of this group, Simpson and Lukinac were holdouts last year who have three seasons of varsity play remaining.
With Homer Floyd definitely transferred to right half and Don Feller a doubtful returner because of scholastic griefs, the new full-backs must be considered most important in this roster. Mailen, Zager and Schick, not necessarily in that order, are progressing well enough to allow Lukinac's release for halfback duty. The situation with the veterans being what it is means those three probably will stay in there next autumn too.
In addition to the shift of Floyd and Feller's classroom troubles, reserve Jerry Baker will graduate in June and Dave Harris, who saw
part-time duty in that spot last year, is now, like Floyd, a full-time halfback.
"All these boys are hitting real well," smiles Jack Mitchell.
"In fact our whole squad is striking good blows. We don't look good, but we do sound good."
Here are thumbnail on this pressing crop of newcomers:
Malen-205—Good defender, carrying adequate speed and promising kicking ability. Hard-worker who gives great effort.
Zager-187—Strong blocker. Good effort and high desire.
Schick—185—Good all-round ability and fine effort. Runs and blocks well. Better than average speed.
Michaels —208— Good runner and promising passer. Good defender with good speed. Currently running behind veteran Dave Harris at left half.
Simpson —187— More improved than any player on squad through first two weeks. Eager to play. Pressing veteran H. C. Palmer on left side.
Spreckelmeyer—180—Good speed and reaction. Tough blocker and promising catcher. Fighting run of injuries. Battling Simpson and Palmer of left side.
Doolittle —206— Strong, powerful converted fullback. Good effort and all-round promise. Running behind John Peppercorn at left tackle.
Allen —180— Hard-worker who has moved up from obscurity of sixth team into contending position behind Dale Remsberg on right side.
Kirshman —200— Good natural ability, speed and size. Needs much work, but carries high desire. Pressing veterans Dick Rohlf and Tom Russell at right guard.
The National Grange was founded in 1897 by Oliver Kelly.
Lukinac—180—Punishing tackler and blocker. Excellent defensive prospect. Running No. 1 right half at present since Floyd's muscle pull keeps him out of contact.
