SPORTS KU Baseball Hopes Vanish
The Kansas Jayhawker baseball team, one of the pre-season favorites for the Big Eight crown, saw its burble burst over the weekend as the Oklahoma State Cowboys won two of a three game series.
The two clubs traded shutouts in Friday's seven innning doubleheader, but the real heartbreaker came Saturday afternoon. Battling cold temperatures, mist and a strong southwesterly wind, the Jayhawkers and the Cowboys were tied 3-3 after thirteen innings.
THE TOP OF the 14th inning was Hiroshima, Oklahoma State style, as the Cowboys exploded for seven runs, and then held the whawkers scoreless to win 10-3 to
have the deciding game of the series. The two losses to Oklahoma State practically eliminated the Jayhawkers from any title hopes. The Jayhawkers sported a 5-4 record going into the series, which meant if they could sweep the series their title hopes would be kept alive. KU now stands 6-6 and a first division berth is in jeopardy by the Cowboys who are close behind with a 5-7 record.
Rain caused the postponement of Saturday's remaining conference games which included Missouri at Kansas State, Colorado at Oklahoma and Iowa State at Nebraska.

Saturday's game between the Jayhawkers and the Cowboys saw a pitching duel between Oklahoma State's Littleton Fowler, who relieved in the sixth, and KU's Carl Nelson, who replaced Roger Borck in the eighth inning. Despite pitching six innings on Friday, Nelson held the Cowboys scoreless until the 14th inning when Jerry Waldschmidt relieved with two men on base and one out.

Drake Relays Is Sad Affair
The Drake Relays was most unpleasant for the Kansas Jayhawkers and their fellow Big Eight members.
For the first time since 1946 and only the third time since 1916, the conference was shut out of the victory column. The closest the Big Eight and Kansas could come to a victory was in the shotput. Jay-hawker Yul Yost was edged out of a gold medal by Texas A&M's Danny Roberts on his next to last shot.
Yost, who had put 56-1 in the preliminaries, was leading until Roberts heaved 57-6 to win and send Yost to the runner up spot. Roberts victory gave him the Midland's Circuit crown. Roberts won the Texas Relays, but lost to Yost at the Kansas Relays.
The Jayhawker two-mile team which had been victorious at the Kansas Relays saw a consecutive victory streak of five broken by Oregon State, which won easily by 20 yards. The Jayhawkers could manage only fifth as Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri, whom KU outduelled at the Kansas Relays, finished ahead in that order.

Sayers Leads Reds In Scrimmage Session
KU's All-Big Eight halfback Gale Sayers scored two touchdowns and was instrumental in setting up two more as the Red team composed of the first and second units defeated the White team 50-6, Saturday afternoon.
The two teams scrimmaged for three hours in Memorial Stadium despite light mist and chilly temperatures. The Jayhawker football team is in the midst of its spring practice session in preparation for the Varsity-Alumni game to be held May 18.
THE JAYHAWKER PASSING attack posed the number one problem following the scrimmage. Four quarterback candidates threw a total of 62 passes and completed only 25 Brian Palmer, the most experienced of the prospects, completed 7 of 16.
Sid Micke hit 8 of 17, Dave Crandall, a converted slot-back was unsuccessful in five attempts, and freshman Steve Renko hit 10 of 24. Coach Jack Mitchell singled out Micke as the top performer.
"Our receiving was just absolutely terrible," said Mitchell following the scrimmage. "That's probably the worst part of the situation."
The KU coach praised the morale and the enthusiasm of the squad. "We've got one of the most enthusiastic groups we've ever had. I didn't realize that before today."
VETERAN FULLBACK Ken Coleman was also a scoring standout as he scored twice, once on a two-yard plunge which capitalized a 75 yard drive and once on a 11-yard run, which followed a 54-yard pass interception-run by Sayers.
