League Leading Jayhawks Meet Iowa State Here
"That probably did us more good than harm," comments Temple, "because I felt some of the boys were getting overconfident. This proves to them they'll have to go all out against everyone.
Game time for today's double-header is 1:30 p.m., for tomorrow's single game 1:00 p.m. Skipper "George Stallings" Temple will throw two lefties at the Cyclones today, veteran Roger Brock and rookie Monte Stewart. Brock is the staff leader with a 1.82 ERA, winning four of six decisions. Stewart is 3.50 and 2-1. Tomorrow's mound choice lies between veteran Jerry Waldschmidt and Carl Nelson, both righthanders, and another southpaw, Steve Lunsford, the 160-pound bantam who muffled Missouri's mighty bats with an eight-hitter to win the opener of that series a week ago.
Since carding the 2-1 edge in Tigertown, Kansas has split a home-and-home set with Washburn, losing Tuesday's second encounter. 4-5.
Kansas' Miracle Braves, dead last in the Big Eight baseball race a year ago, but now leading the league, host Iowa State's seventh-place Cyclones today and tomorrow as the conference flag chase reaches the halfway point.
"I feel we have a chance to win this thing, but I really don't know how we can do with these other ball clubs because we know so little about them. I'll say this. The team that wins the championship will lose at least five games because of the balance of this league."
Kansas goes in against the Cyclones with a 7-2 conference reading; 10-5 overall. Iowa State is 2-5 in the league; 2-6 overall.

KU, MU to Renew Rivalry at Drake
Compress the enduring heat of the Kansas-Missouri athletic rivalry into one race in the 53rd Drake Relays and only the weather man will be to blame if another record isn't melted this weekend in Des Moines.
The setting will be the two-milk relay Saturday afternoon, as the Jayhawkers go after a club that embarrassed them before the home folk at last weekend's Kansas Relays. No only did the Tigers clip Kansas or its home track, but it broke the mee record with a 7.24.2. This figure also is the nation's collegiate best at this writing and took rank as the swiftes in history by a Big Eight foursome.
NOT ONLY WILL Bill Easton's troupe be seeking a reverse of this verdict, but preservation of their own one-year-old Drake record of 7:28.0 and their skein of four consecutive
two-mile titles on this final stop of the Midland's Grand Circuit.
Until this season opened, KU's 7:28.6 was the best mark on the Big Eight books. Since then the Tigers and Jayhawkers have taken turns buffeting it between them. Kansas gave portent of what was to come at the end of the indoor season with two consecutive American record spins of 7:30.8 and 7:29.2.
NOW THE TIGERS are back on top after their tremendous spin at Kansas, which saw Bengal anchorman Jim Baker, a native quarter-
But MU was first to break under the old ceiling with a stunning 72.80 in winning the Arkansas Relays. Kansas re-captured this honor a week later in 7.27.7 to win at Texas, Missouri waiving competition because of injury to leadoffer Jerry McFadden.
miler, holding off Jayhawker ace Bill Dotson with a sparkling 1:50.8 clean-up. The Jayhawkers ran an all-time low themselves at 7:27.4, but they'll be obliged to step faster if they're going to draw even at Des Mines.
Here is a breakdown on the splits for that historic duel at Lawrence, which clipped Michigan State's four-year-old record by six-tenths:
MU — McFadden 1:53.7 — Pelster
1:50.8 — Rawson — 1:49.5 — Baker
1:50.2.
KU — Hagan 1:53.2 — Riesinger —
1:51.6 — Thorton — 1:49.2 — Dotson
— 1:53.3.
The Jayhawkers have a right to expect better from Dotson, who careened 1:49.6 at Texas and from Hagan, who was running his first outdoor meet following a long seige of flu. He owns a career low of 1:49.2.
ODDLY, the Tigers never have
bagged this race at Drake; Kansas has won it more times than any other team, seven. This includes a cluster of four straight over the last four years.
Hagan, Thornton and Dotson ran on the 1962 club, which saved the Jayhawkers from a baton shutout on last year's Grand Circuit as they reversed decisions on their Texas and Kansas Relays conquerors, SMU and Drake. Dotson also ran No. 2 on the '60 champions.
