JAYHAWK REBOUNDS
| No. 12
"November 20, 1944

Dear Fellow Jayhawkers:

1 have been gold-bricking on you. They elected me president of the
Country.Club this fall and we have been trying to rejuvenate the place out there.
We have personally supervised the sanding of the floors, installation of a new
ceiling, painting and general repair work, And besides handling the various
drives for the University, such as the National War Fund and Community Chest in
October, and now the Sixth War Loan, as well as the general administration of
the Physical Education Department, I have been incidentally attempting to, coach
a basketball team. ee hg: eee ar Si al

ee I looked at the date of the last Jayhawk Rebounds, No..11, snd find

that it is dated September 12,.1944, and this morning is November 20, - more

than two months since I have written you boys on.thé many fronts. But .alibis

are never any good when a fellow has to get the job done of Jayhawk Rebounding.

So just prior to the football game with the Missouri Tigers on Thursday, Nove 23,

in Kansas City at Association Park, I will try to give you a review of the past

football season up to the present time. ' Coach Herfry Shenk has. had a-dickens of

a time. On November 1,. just’at the time when the team should be-hitting its

stridé, mony of..his stellar perfermers wore’ called to, the other fronts for -

further. servicing by the Navy. - This is a fair and modest appraisal of the efforts

of the fighting Jayhowkers. We have not overdone it either by. too much praise or
Qld-timers rubbed their.eyes the 21st of October when Kansas adminis-

tered the first licking toa Nebraska ‘football team in 48 years: on ,the. Kansas -

field. Only once in all. that--time had they: even ‘been tied - the famous 20-20 ©

tie of 1920, It was the first timo in 26 years that any Kansas ;football team.

had beaten a Nebraska team on Jayhawker soil! ©

To make the victory even more outstanding, Nebraska walloped a
Missouri team that was rated 40 points: better ‘by a score of 24 to 20. in Lincoln
a week before, which was. the major. upset of the Big Six season to date.

nappies To the. Kansas. team should go the credit for smashing this 48-year-old
jinx. The first K.U. score came in the first ‘half when .Charles Keller. blocked-a
Nebraska punt which was ‘receverod by Warren Riégle in’ the end zone for a touch-. .

down, In the third quarter..the Kansds- team drove 60 yards and. scored with a> --
sereen pass only to have the play called back because of an offsides. But ‘Kansas:
was not to be denied. Later,. big Don Barrington after alternating with. Charles.
Moffett: in carrying the ball dow to the Nebraska S=yard line, threw a quick pass
to Charlie across the goal line for the second counter. Bill Chestnut, drop- -
kicker de luxe, kicked both extra points. |

In the fourth stanza Dwight Sutherland and Charlie Moffett took turns
passing and carrying the ball down to the Nebraska 50-yard line where Charlie
Moffett flipped a pass to Warren Riegle who made a sensational catch in the end
zone for the third score, The game ended Kansas 20, Nebraska 0.
