Hawk nine make last ditch attempt
The Jayhawk baseball team travels to Stillwater this weekend to play its final three game set of the season against the second place Oklahoma State Cowboys.
The series, marking the final weekend of Big Eight baseball, is a crucial one for OSU as it must win all three games to have a chance for the Big Eight title. Currently the Cowboys hold a 10-7 league record as compared to the conference leading mark of 11-3 held by Oklahoma. If the Sooners lose all three games in their series with Colorado this weekend and Oklahoma State wins their three, the Cowboys will be Big Eight champions.
KU WILL BE trying particularly hard to stop the Cowboys this weekend, because for the Jayhawks to have any chance of getting out of the league cellar, they must win all three games.
The Jayhawks have a record of 3-12 and the seventh place team, Colorado, is 6-12. If KU should sweep its series against the Cowboys and Colorado lose its set against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks would wind up the season in seventh place.
Overall, KU has an 8-14 season
Mitchell makes line-up change
Coach Jack Mitchell has announced one lineup change for the annual intrasquad football game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Richard Abernethy, starting right halfback on offense for the Blue team, has been replaced by Thermus Butler, freshman from Columbus, Ga.
record and Oklahoma State is 13-9.
The league standings going into the final weekend of action are first, Oklahoma, 11-3; second, Oklahoma State, 10-7; third, Iowa State, 8-6; fourth, Nebraska, 10-8; fifth, Kansas State, 9-8; sixth, Missouri, 7-8; seventh, Colorado, 6-12; and eighth, KU, 3-12.
KU'S HEAD COACH Floyd Temple has said Tom Cooper will pitch the first game of today's double header against the Cowboys. Cooper has a 1-2 record. Starting the game for OSU will be John Pierce whose 5-2 record is one of the best in the conference.
Pitching the second game today for KU will be either Fred Chana (1-1) or Bill Maddux (3-3). For Saturday's single game, the Jayhawks' pitcher will be either Sandy Buda (1-3) or Tom Bishard (2-3).
The other starters for KU will probably be: Ron Wallace, right field; Bob Skahan, center field; Gary Ascanieo, left field; John Adams, catcher; Jim Shanks, first base; Bob Evilsizer, second base; Steve Walsh, shortstop, and Alan Stoike, third base.
SKAHAN WILL NOT play in Saturday's contest as he will drive back to Lawrence Friday night to play in the KU intra-squad football game Saturday afternoon. For the past two weeks, Skahan has divided his time between baseball and football. He is expected to be the quarterback on the white offensive team during the football drill.
Skahan has been the leading hitter on the team among the regulars with a .265 batting average. He has three home runs and 17 runs batted in.
Cunningham joins Jayhawk thinclads
Glenn Cunningham of Leon will enroll at KU. Track Coach Bob Timmons has announced that the son of KU's famous mile runner has signed a letter of intent to join the Jayhawks next fall.
Cunningham won the high school mile at the KU Relays last month in the time of 4:22.1. A week later at Fredonia he ran in the winning time of 4:20.3, his best mark so far.
Young Glenn is referred to as a carbon copy of his famed father. Persons who have seen the father competing 30 years ago and the son this spring say even their running style is identical.
Softball finals open
Final playoffs for the Hill championship in intramural softball will begin at 4 p.m. today.
Delta Upsilon will play Law on field no.1 in the fast pitch division. Sigma Chi and Chem Tech will play on field no 3 for the slow pitch.
Robert Lockwood, gymnastics coach, said that intramurals started last Tuesday with 1,201 boys on 66 teams competing for the championship.
