KU, Mizzou Clash In Baseball Finale
It all depends on a couple of "if's," but KU could wreck Missouri's hopes of winning the Big Eight Conference baseball title when the two teams end the 1963 season this weekend at Columbia.
The Tigers, ranked No. 1 nationally in collegiate baseball, go into the three-game series with a 15-2 league record. Coach John (Hi) Simmons' squad needs only two victories to successfully defend its championship.
IF KU DEFEATS the Tigers twice, and if Oklahoma, in second place, with a 12-3 conference record, can sweep its three-game series with Iowa State at Ames, the Sooners would be the league champs.
The Jayhawks, in third place with a 12-3 record, meet the Tigers in a doubleheader tomorrow and a single game Saturday.
"We aren't going to Columbia just to finish the season." Temple said yesterday. "We're going there to win. We have a slim chance, but that was the situation last year."
Coach Floyd Temple hopes his Jayhawks can achieve similar success against the Tigers this weekend.
The Jayhawkers upset the last Missouri athletic team rated first in the nation—the 1960 football team— 23-7.
KU was the only team to defeat the Tigers twice last season. By doing so, the Jayhawks finished in third place.
It may take at least one victory over Missouri this year for the Jayhawks to remain in third place in the league standings. Colorado, which is 8-7 for the season and a game and a half behind KU, plays Kansas State, seventh place holder, at Boulder.

The KU tennis team finished its duel season with a victory over Colorado. 5-2, here yesterday.
The Jayhawks had a 11-4 season's mark. The Buffaloes were 10-4-1 for the year.
Winners in singles play for KU were Del Campbell, Lance Burr, Jim Burns and Barry McGrath. Jan Cobble was the only KU player defeated in singles.
In doubles, Campbell and Burr won. Cobble and McGrath were defeated in a marathon game, 4-6, 6-3, 11-9.
Temple hasn't decided what pitcher he'll use against the Tigers.
Missouri has lost four of 23 games this season, all by one run. The Tigers, who accounted for 35 hits in three games against Nebraska last week, have a 300 team batting average. The MU pitching staff has a 1.81 earned-run-average.

KU has a 240 team batting average and a staff earned-run-average of 2.97. Carl Nelson, Jerry Waldschmidt and Brock allowed only 10 hits in the Jayhawks' sweep of the Colorado series here last week.

McClinton to Miss Varsity - Alum Tilt
Curtis McClinton probably will not play in the Alumni-Varsity football game Saturday, the Daily Kansan learned in an interview last night.
By Roy Miller
It was announced earlier in the week that McClinton, all-Big Eight halfback for KU in 1960 and 1961, would play for the Alums in the annual spring season finale.
When asked in a telephone interview last night why McClinton wouldn't play in Saturday's game, Jack Mitchell, KU head football coach, said:
"The Dallas Texans won't let him play."
Mitchell indicated that Texan officials were afraid McClinton would be injured if he played in the game.
McClinton was "Rookie of the Year" with the Texans, American Football League champions, last year.
McClinton is enrolled in KU this semester to finish work toward a master's degree in business.

Waterboy' to End Career As Player in Game Saturday
Clyde Kensinger will be serving the KU football program in a new capacity Saturday.
Kensinger, who has juggled a water bucket for the KU football team the past four seasons, will be a competitor in his last game as a KU student.
The Dallas, Tex., senior, who has been a manager for KU football squads since the 1959 season, signed yesterday to play right defensive tackle for the Alumni in the annual Alumni-Varsity game.
he was a senior center for Sapulpa (Okla.) high school, the Class Six-A state champion that year.
THE SPRING practice finale is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the stadium.
Kensinger was named to the second team in all-state selections when
"Earthquake," as Kensinger is known to players and coaches, lettered at tackle and center as a member of the 1958 freshman team here. But, because of a knee injury and excessive weight, he hasn't played a game of football since.
KENSINGER SAYS he weighs 250 pounds now. If that figure is accurate, "Earthquake's" weight-reducing program has been successful. In February, he weighed an all-time personal high of 300.
The Alumni-Varsity game also marks the last game for Jim Beu, Beloit senior, who has been a football manager here for five years.
