The Jayhawkers play one game today and a doubleheader Saturday. Going into the game, Kansas has a 2-1-1 record. KU opened its season with an 11-11 tie at Rice. The game was called because of darkness. The Jayhawkers defeated Rice the next day. The Kansans then split their two game series with Houston. The Cyclones have played only one game this season and that was called before the contest was over because of weather. Iowa State finished its 1957 season ranked third in the nation. The 1958 Cyclone team has been called capable of repeating the feats they accomplished last year. Oklahoma has been mentioned as the team that might upset the Cyclones for the Big Eight title. KU coach Floyd Temple has said that with a few breaks and some hard work, the Jayhawkers might also contend for the title. Temple indicated he would probably start one of his top pitchers, Larry Miller, in one of the three assignments. A's-Cardinals Series Opens KANSAS CITY.

Passing over the world series hero Lew Burdette and 21-game winner Warren Spahn of the world champion Bill Easton's 1958 outdoor track squad opens its home schedule with the third annual KU-Okla-home State duel meet Saturday. Top Stars In KU-OSU Meet Al Oerter, who one week ago heaved the discus 202-feet 6-inches at the Arkansas Relays, will be moved outside the stadium along with the other discus throwers. Meet officials have found that Oerter has a habit of putting too much behind his heaves and coming close to the running track. Oerter and the rest of the discus men will be throwing on the old football practice field east of Memorial Stadium. Easton has been plagued by the weather most of this week. The Jayhawkers worked out on the track Monday and Tuesday but have not been able to get back on since because of rainy weather. One of the big features of the meet will be Oklahoma State's Orlando Hazley. Hazley ran the 100-yard dash in :09.3 at the Arkansas Relays last Saturday. This did not count on the record books since he had a fairly strong wind to his back. KU's Charley Tidwell finished behind Hazley with a :09.4 mark. Easton pointed out Thursday the Oklahoma State men would be tough to handle because they are "spread very well." He said the Cowpokes had good men in practically every event. The first meet of the season will provide area track fans a good chance to see some of the nation's top track performers in action. Oerter now has the top discus throw in the world. Hazley's 100-yard dash mark last week was one of the top marks in that event. OSU discus threer Clyde Northup is now ranked fourth in discus throws throughout the nation. KU Second In Big 8 All-Sports With the start of spring sports, KU is running one point behind Oklahoma University in unofficial Big Eight all - sports standings. Oklahoma leads with $ 31 \frac{1}{2} $ . Kansas has $ 30 \frac{1}{2} $ . Field events for the meet start at 1:30 p.m. and the first running event will be at 2 p.m. Both Kansas and Missouri suffer in the standings because they do not participate in all the recognized sports. Kansas does not participate in wrestling. If they did enter that event, they would be assured of at least a tie for first, since last place in each event counts one point. Missouri does not enter wrestling or swimming. Missouri is at present in last place in the standings. Two unexpected showings that helped the Kansans this year are their second place finish in football and the third place finish in swimming. The Jayhawkers took first place in cross country and indoor track and tied for second place in basketball.

More Room For Oerter And His Discus Next weekend when thousands of fans will want to see the pending world record holder at the Kansas Relays, the whole infield will be turned over to the discus event and Oerter can aim his heaves down the middle of the football field. On The Plaza On Brookside Kansas City Al Oerter, the husky Kansas senior whose discus throws are becoming dangerous to life and property, will be moved out of Memorial Stadium and into open practice field for a dual meet with Oklahoma State Saturday.
