Saturday the Kansas football team will move into the make or break part of its schedule with three conference games and one non-conference tilt facing them. Any of these games could go either way so four action-packed Saturdays, three of them at home, are in store for KU fans.
First on the list will be Nebraska this weekend at Lincoln. The Huskers are currently tied for first place in the Big Seven with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Huskers Having Funny Season
Thus far this year the Huskers have been having a funny season. They flabbergasted the entire United States in their first game by dropping a 6 to 0 decision to an unheard of University of Hawaii team. The wolves were howling long and hard after that one and Coach Bill Glassford, who spends a great deal of time on the alumni griddle, seemed on his way out.
Since then the Cornhuskers have done a little better. They dropped games to Ohio State, Pittsburgh, and Texas A&M but beat Kansas State and Missouri. All three of the teams the Cornhuskers lost to since the Hawaii episode were strong teams and the losses don't make Glassford look too bad.
In beating Kansas State and Missouri the Nebraska squad looked good. Especially against Missouri did they look good as the Tigers were really out to win that one, vowing not to shave until they won a game. They are still sporting beards.
Some Injury Trouble
Glassford has been bothered somewhat by injuries. Last week against Missouri he was without the services of left end LeRoy Butherus and reserve center Bob Berguin. However, the defensive play of halfback Willie Greenlaw and the rounding into condition of fullback George Cifra has aided the Husker's cause.
The KU passing attack will undergo a severe test against Nebraska. Going into last week's game with Missouri the Huskers had the No. 1 pass defense in the nation.
Probable Kansas Victory
Although there is no football game at home this week the best in entertainment if you like to see a KU victory, will be offered Saturday morning. The Kansas cross-country team, which served notice that it would be a strong contender for the NCAA by beating the Quantico Marines last Saturday, will play host to the University of Missouri.
Against the Marines, who were led by former KU great Wes Santee, the Jayhawkers took second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh places. Santee won the meet with a time of 15:07 and Al Frame was second. Last year Frame was the NCAA individual cross-country champion.
The Tigers should be an easy mark for Kansas, but then you never can tell. But barring a complete collapse by Coach Bill Easton's men, something which rarely happens, it should be a sweep or near sweep for KU.
Should Win Conference
The Kansas runners will be heavy favorites to win the conference this year for the ninth straight time. The KU squad has taken it every year since Coach Bill Easton arrived at Mt. Oread and has taken the national title four times.
The amazing thing this year is the fact that there is only one senior, Captain Al Frame on the team. Jan Howell is a junior and Jerry McNeal, Bob Nicholson, and Hal Long are all sophomores. For the rest of the conference it looks like a long famine before they get a cross-country win.
Jim Beam Beats Sterling-Oliver 14-0 In IM's
Jim Beam, Jollife Hall, and Battenfeld Hall all emerged victorius in last night's intrumural play in the Independent "A" division. Jim Beam beat Sterling-Oliver 14-0 and Joliffe and Battenfeld both won by forfeits.
George Corbett and Bill Thornberry both scored six points apiece in Jim Beam's victory and John Denman tallied both extra points.
Jollife scored a first quarter touchdown on a pass from Ivo Feurborn to Dick Worrell and then added an extra point on the same combination only to have Carruth forfeit the game because they had only seven men.
The Navy forfeited their game to Battenfeld Hall.

It was the second long shot move made by Coach Chuck Matter in as many days. Monday he switched Dud Budrich and LaVerne Fiss, a guard and an end to bolster the depleted fullback corps also wracked by injuries.
Al Jaso, a junior, was running at the string quarterback spot yesterday.
Dick Reich, Jerry Baker and Bob Preston will probably miss Saturday's game at Lincoln with Nebraska. Most recent additions to the injured list were Gene Blasi, tackle, with a sore shoulder and Frank Black also came up with a few bruises.
John Traylor, left halfback is still on the doubtful list for Satur-

Several other minor injuries are healing.
Pointing toward the Nebraska contest Mather said the Jays will run up against a good passing attack from a team that has played creditable ball this season. He thinks Nebraska may be a little overconfident about their chances against Kansas.
Due to the number of injuries Mather will hold contact in today's serimmage to a minimum.
