University Daily Kansan Wednesday, May 9, 1962 Page 10 Jayhawks Meet Oklahoma State In'Must' Series Trying to stay alive in the Big Eight baseball penant race, Kansas meets Oklahoma State's defending champions here this weekend. The three game set opens with a 1:30 p.m. double-header Friday. Saturday's single game starts at 1 p.m. Knocked out of a tie for the league-lead all the way to third in a three-game disaster at Colorado, the Jayhawkers now trail Missouri's pace-setters by two games, Oklahoma State by a half-game. Here are the loop standings as the race heads into its semifinal week-end; | | W | L | Pct. GB | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Missouri | 11 | 4 | .733 0 | | Oklahoma State | 7 | 3 | .700 $1^{1/2}$ | | Kansas | 9 | 6 | .600 2 | | Colorado | 8 | 6 | .571 $2^{1/2}$ | | Oklahoma | 7 | 8 | .467 4 | | Iowa State | 6 | 7 | .462 4 | | Nebraska | 5 | 9 | .357 $5^{1/2}$ | | Kansas State | 1 | 11 | .083 $8^{1/2}$ | Aside from remaining in flag contention, Kansas will be seeking two more goals in this series. Most important is ending a seven-game losing streak at the hands of Toby Greene's forces. The Jayhawks have not beaten the Cowboys since the first two games of the 1958 series here. State won the finale of that match and swept three-game sets in 1959 and 1961. Rain washed out all three games in '60. Second goal is acquisition of three more victories, which would hand Floyd Temple's gang a new seasonal high for modern Kansas history. The Jayhawkers now stand 12-9 overall. Since the original Missouri Valley was formed in 1907, only two Kansas nines, 1923, and the title outfit of '49, have won as many as 14. The Jayhawkers have six chances to capture this total since they close against Oklahoma here next weekend. Both school sports networks will broadcast the series, Tom Hedrick for KU; Bill Platt for State. Temple will hold the line on his starting pitching rotation against the Pokes, sending up three successive lefthanders, Roger Brock, Monte Stewart and Steve Lunsford.

FIRST HE BEAT Knaub by a yard after an even touchoff in the anchor carry of the 440-yard relay at Drake. Then, last Saturday, he scorched :69.4 in winning the Sooner-Oklahoma State dual. This time ties the existing Big Eight record held jointly by Iowa State's Hubert Meier (1930) and Charlie Tidwell. Kansas (1959). The early spring line showed Nebraska's Ray Kraub a solid favorite. He won the Texas and Kansas Relays 100-yard dash over good fields, clocking :69.6 and :69.5, respectively. But two events have conspired since to lift Watson into a role of co-favorite. In the same meet Watson beat Oklahoma State's defending conference 220 champion, Charles Strong, in 21.0 around a turn, and leaped 25-34 for the best league broad jump mark of the year. This is the first time the 6-4 Oklahoma City sophomore has turned himself loose, following a long seige of caution with a recurring muscle pull. THE 205-POUND Olympian — he went unplaced at Rome after picking off the third spot on the United States' broad jump team as a freshman — is the key figure in Oklahoma's bid to retain its team championship. He'll be entered in four events, both sprints, the 440 relay, and broad jump. vigne, said, "the condition of the track offsets the wind-advantage." Knaub hasn't been idle either. He went unplaced at Drake, but must have been as close to second as to sixth as five runners fled home virtually abreast behind Florida A & M's victorious Bob Hayes. Saturday, he ran :09.4 to defeat Colorado's Olympic quartermiler, Ted Woods, in front of a breeze barely over the allowable $4\frac{1}{2}$ mph. And as his coach, Frank Se- EVEN MORE impressive was his 20.7 conquest of Woods in the 220 on a turn. This is two-tenths below the existing conference record. Running third in both races was Nebraska sophomore Don Degnan, Big Eight Indoor 60 champion. His presence will give the Cornhuskers an exceptional one-two punch to match against OU's twosome of Watson and Mark Sullivan, the defending league century champions. Sullivan clocked a wind-blown .9:5 in winning the OU-Indiana dual. How well this foursome performs in three sprint races, the two short dashes and the 440 relay, could swing the meet, which promises to be at least as tight as last year when Oklahoma snapped a nine-year Kansas reign with 99 points against the Jayhawkers' $88\frac{1}{4}$ and Oklahoma State's $84\frac{1}{2}$. WOODS, 1960 NCA440 champion, will be as busy as Watson, since he'll be involved in the 220, both relays and the 440. Two more prominent dash figures are Dale Alexander, Kansas State, and Jim Baker, Missouri's smooth quartermilier, who was runner-up to Strong in the 440 at Boulder last year. Alexander swept both sprints Saturday in the Wildcat-Tiger dual, hitting a wind-blown :90.5 in the 100, and edging Baker in a :21.9 220 on the curve. Never in history has the conference shown more depth in excellence than will be embraced in the two sprint fields which go to the post here. All six place winners return from last year in both events, but at least eight of them will be sorely pressed to qualify. Oklahoma State's Derrell Davis, Oklahoma's Cal Sharpe, and KU Larry McCue are nursing muscle pulls. Since only six can qualify out of Friday's trials, a raft of good sprinters will be watching the finals from the infield. THURS.-FRI.-SAT. PLUS ENDS TONIGHT!
