University Daily Kansan SPORTS Salukis Here For Track Dual
Page 9
Coach Bill Easton's Jayhawker track team holds its first home dual meet of the season tomorrow against Southern Illinois. The meet will get underway at 1 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
FOR SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, it will be the first in a series of dual meets with three of the Midwest's top track powers. The Salukis also have meets with Western Michigan and Notre Dame.
Southern Illinois, who gained national prominence a year ago in Coach Lew Hartzog's second season, claimed two firsts, a pair of seconds, a third, a fourth and a fifth at the Drake Relays.
Englishmen Bill Cornell and Brian Turner, Southern's two aces, both turned in sparkling performances last weekend. Cornell, last year's NCAA runner-up to Dyrol Burleson in the mile, anchored SIU's victorious spring medley relay team to a 3:18.7 time by running his final 880 yards in 1:47.1. Turner won the two mile run in 8:51.7. Both winning times are national season lows.
The Kansas Jayhawkers managed to win only two first places, on the Midlands Grand Circuit, both coming at the KU Relays.
FOR KANSAS, Herald Hadley and Chick Fero get the call against Cornell, while the Jayhawkers' two cross-country aces, George Cabrera and Paul Acevedo, will run against Turner.
In addition to the regular varsity events, the two schools freshman teams will compete in the mile run, the 440-yard dash, the 100-yard dash, the 880-yard run, the two mile run and the one-mile relay.
Leading the KU freshmen corps will be sprinter Bob Hansen, who almost nosed out the Big Ten's spring king Nate Adams in the 100-meter run at the KU Relavs two weeks ago.
Athletics Meet Boston Today
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)— The surprising Kansas City Athletics, in and out of first place in the American League, will try tonight to swap position with the front-running Boston Red Sox.
Boston leads the A's in the standings by six percentage points, but trails in the won-loss column by a half game.
Workhorse Ed Rakow (2-1) will start for Kansas City, and Bill Monbouquette (2-2) is tapped for the Red Sox. Last season, Rakow was 1-2 against Boston, and Monbouquette posted a 1-1 record against the Athletics.
The A's pitching collapsed yesterday and they dropped out of the top spot.
The KU tenns team defeated Wichita University 7-0 in a duel match yesterday. It was the Jayhawkers' second win this year over the Wheatshockers.

The two front-runners meet in a single game at Columbia tomorrow. Other conference games today and tomorrow include Kansas State at Oklahoma State, Kansas at Iowa State and Nebraska at Colorado.

Missouri coach John Simmons is expected to go with his top three pitchers in the crucial series. They are Larry Bohannon (4-1), Rich Peterson (4-0) and Jack Stroud (3-0). Stroud, a rookie, has struck out 61 in 34 innings.
The University of Missouri baseball team, no. 1 in the nation and no. 2 in the Big Eight conference, host league-leading Oklahoma in a doubleheader today.

Coach Jack Baer's Sooners probably will pitch Jerry Haddock (3-0), Lonnie McGuire (3-1) and Doyle Tunnell (2-2).
Missouri, in games to date, has a .300 team batting average, compared to Oklahoma's 231 average. In overall won-loss records, Missouri is 14-3 and Oklahoma is 10-5.
"We may not beat 'em," Baer said this week, "but that's what we're going up there to try to do. If we expect to win the conference, we have to beat Missouri. Somebody's got to beat 'em."

The Kansas Jayhawkers go into the Iowa State series with only two 300 hitters in first baseman Dick Fanning (.317) and third baseman Keith Kimerer (.310) and a team batting average of .235, 10 points below last year.
Coach Floyd Temple is worried over the lack of extra base power and hittings with runners on base. "Lack of clutch hitting is killing us," he said. "Of the six conference games we've lost, four of them could have been won with just one base hit at the right time. In our 14-inning loss to Oklahoma State we had three opportunities to win. We had a runner on second with less than two out three times.
