Kansas Splits With Missouri
At the start of the 1962 Big Eight conference baseball campaign the Kansas Jayhawkers were conceded to be improved but were still slated to finish in second division.
The Jayhawkers surprised many of the prognosticators by sweeping a three-game set from the Nebraska Cornhuskers to surge into a first-place tie with Missouri and Oklahoma State.
THE JAYHAWKERS won two of three games with Kansas State while the Tigers and the Cowboys each dropped a game to remain in first place going into a three-game $ ^{ \circ} $ series with always strong Missouri five hits in 11 games
The Tigers perennially are the Big Eight conference's team to beat. Although Oklahoma State is the defending league champion the Tigers have won more championships in baseball than any other school.
The Jayhawkers proved that they were no fluke by lambasting the Tigers 9-3 in the first game Monday. With the Tigers fighting mad, the Jayhawkers nevertheless humiliated them 8-0 in the first game of yesterday's doubleheader, but dropped the second game despite a late rally, 7-5.
THE JAYHAWKERS now stand atop the Big Eight with a 7-2 record. Oklahoma State and Missouri are close behind with 3-1 and 6-3 records.
In the first game Missouri pitcher Larry Bohannon's record of having pitched a no-hitter and two one-hitters this year meant nothing to Coach Floyd Temple's crew. The Jayhawkers tagged Bohannon for 10 hits and eight runs.
Roger Brock held the Tigers to but six hits. He also helped his own cause by collecting two hits in four times at bat. In the second innings his single along with third baseman Dick Radar's drove in a pair of runs to put KU ahead.
BROCK HELPED his cause again in the fourth inning with a single that drove one run across. The Jaw-hawks built their margin to 5-0 in the fifth on a bad pitch and a passed ball.
Kansas assured their victory in the sixth inning with a three-run outburst in which Dick Fanning hit a bases-loaded single.
The Tigers drove the Jayhawker's top hurler Jerry Waldschmidt from the mound in the first inning with three hits and five runs to gain their lone victory in the series.
THE TIGERS picked up one run in both the third and fourth innings to make the score 7-0. The Jawhaws struck back in the fifth with a five-run rally. Ken Hensley doubled with the bases full to send home the first two runs. The third came across on a groundout, then Keith Abercrombie tripled home another run and came across himself on a single by Fanning before Missouri hurler Bob Jenkins finally put out the fire.
KU reliefer Monte Stewart gave the Tigers only two runs on two hits in five innings after coming in to relieve Waldschmidt.

Texas Southern, the top entry in the college division in the Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday, swept all six relay events Saturday at the Pelican Relays held at Baton Rouge, La.
The all-Negro school used the same 11 men that set five records in as many events at the Texas Relays the week before.
In the Pelican Relays, though, Southern was disqualified in the 440 because of an illegal baton exchange.

Kansas City Defeats Angels
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — The Kansas City Athletics last night capitalized on the excellent pitching of rookie John Wyatt and Los Angeles errors to score a 5-3 victory that spoiled the Angel's home debut.
Wyatt, a 27-year-old rookie who came up from the Sally League, gave up only four hits and three runs in the $6\frac{3}{4}$ innings he worked, but put himself in trouble with six walks and was lifted in the seventh.
Four of the Kansas City runs were unearned as the Angels committed three errors, two of them by veteran infielder Eddie Yost, who had difficulty judging the bounce of the ball on the hard, new Chavez Ravine playing field.
Angel starter Ken McBride was charged with the loss, although none of the four runs he gave up in the five innings he worked was earned. McBride was touched for four hits
and gave way to a pinch hitter in the fifth.
For Kansas City, Jerry Lumpe drove in two runs on a sacrifice and single, and third baseman Wayne Causey drove in another pair on a single and sacrifice.
Joe Koppe accounted for two of the Angel runs with a single and sacrifice also.
Both clubs showed their unfamiliarity with the new stadium as a crowd of 18,416 turned out for the Angel's first appearance at Chavez Ravine.
The Athletics scored twice in the third and twice in the fourth with the Angels picking up solo runs that got them up to within a run of the Athletics but Kansas City picked up their insurance run in the ninth on Causey's sacrifice fly that scored Norm Siebern.
