It's Friday again—time for the sports staff to crawl back out on the limb and pick 20 games of this weekend's football ticket. Last week we had a pretty good record, no one finishing under .500 and the lowest man having a 13 right, wrong mark.
For the KU vs. Colorado game only one man, Bob Lyle picks the Jayhawkers to win. Lyle picked the score as 6-0. Lyle offered as the reason for his pick the following quote, "Kansas may have captured at least a small spark of that intangible flame that goods men to accomplishments they might not ordinarily attain."
The rest of the staff all pickeer Colorado. Sam Jones picked the score CU-27, KU-6, Dick Walt called it CU-34, KU-7, Leo Flanagan said CU-20, KU-7, Kent Thomas called it CU-27, KU-13, Daryl Hall picked it CU-27, KU-14, and your's truly sees it as CU-26, KU-13
Much Agreement
On the other 19 games there was much agreement among the writers. Everyone agreed on ten games, picking Army to beat Penn State, Iowa over Wisconsin, Notre Dame over Indiana, Oklahoma over Pittsburgh, Illinois over Iowa State, Navy over South Carolina, Ohio State over Stanford, California over Pennsylvania, UCLA over Washington State, and Rice over Louisiana State.
Things were unsettled on several games. Jones, Walt, and Lyle took Michigan State over Michigan while McMillion, Flanagan, Thomas, and Hall backed the Wolverines. Jones and McMillion picked Nebraska over Kansas State and the rest backed the Wildcats. Flanagan, Lyle, and Hall took Georgia Tech over Southern Methodist but the rest picked SMU. Jones, Walt, and McMillion took Vanderbilt over Alabama with the rest backing the Crimson Tide.
Sticks Neck Out
In five games one of the writers crawled way out on the limb by his little lonesome. Lyle picked Minnesota to upseturd, Jones tabbed Arkansas to stop TCU, Thomas favors Alabama A&M over Texas Tech, Flanagan sees the Utah Redskins trimming Missouri, and McMilion likes Baylor over top dog Maryland.
These picks are made without any of the writers knowing how the others have made their selections. The first man to pick then goes around and asks the others. The results of how we came out will be run in either Monday's or Tuesday's paper.
Kansas Cross-Country Team Sets Sights On NCAA
With a nucleus of five lettermen and some hustling sophomores, cross-country coach Bill Easton is taking dead aim at the NCAA championship this year.
Led by Capt. Al Frame, Wichita senior, and defending NCAA fourmile king, the Jayhawks have to be considered as contenders for the crown. In a time trial last Friday, on a tough, rain-dampened threemile course, the harriers gave an indication of things to come by turning in some red hot times.
Frame led the pack in 15:46.6, knocking 8.4 seconds off his time last year for a comparable date over an easier course. Pushing the captain to the finish was Bob Nicholson, Maize sophomore, who, as a freshman, won the 3000-meter Steeplechase at the Kansas Relays last spring. Nicholson was timed in 15:47.4.
Following these two were Jerry McNeal, Mineapolis, Minn., sophomore, Jan Howell, Maxville junior, and Harold Long, Van Nuys, Calif. sophomore. Thus, of the first five finishers three were sophomores! Their times were more than respectable with Long coming in fifth in 16:21.
Filling out the field were Lowell Janen, York, Neb., junior; Tom Rupp, Hays senior; Earl Eblen, Lenexa sophomore; Bernie Gay, Gardner junior; Bob Cormack, Abilene sophomore; Grant Cookson, Green junior; Verlyn Schmidt, Hays sophomore; Bob Brooks, Topeka senior; and Bob Farris, Edson sophomore, in that order.
In preparing the Javahawks for the national meet, Easton has
There was an article in the local sports editor's column recently applying to spirit of the crowd at the Washington State football game. The sad thing about it is that the writer was entirely right.
School Spirit
If the students expect this ball club to move up from the depths where they have been the past two years it will take the strongest moral support ever given at this school. The burden of the task will fall on the cheerleaders and the student pep organizations. It's their job to get the crowd worked up to a high pitch.
Last Saturday there were many dull, deadening moments of silence. That's when the cheerleaders have to go to work and stir things up. If they can't get the job done new cheerleaders had better be selected. It's up to you.
set up a rugged schedule. On Oct. 14, the team faces the defending NCAA titleholder, Oklahoma A&M, at Stillwater. The result of this clash should afford and indication of what to expect in the future.
Negotiations are in the making for a duel Oct. 22 with one of the service teams. Missouri will face the harriers here Oct. 29, and Oklahoma will host the Hawks Nov. 4.
The Jayhawks will defend their Big Seven title at Iowa State on Nov. 12. This will be their last meet before the nationals at Michigan State's East Lansing campus. Kansas finished fourth there last year behind Oklahoma A&M, Syracuse, and Miami (Ohio).
Intramural Schedule
In winning the individual crown, Frame finished in 19:54.2, the fifth best time in national collegiate competition. From apearances this year, Frame could successfully defend his title, and aid instrumentally in the return of the team championship to Mt. Oread.

Try a quart of Lawrence Sanitary's milk that is worth 30c a quart but is sold for only 20c.
The happy moral of the story is that milk prices HAVEN'T risen as much as other food prices and today your best food buy is milk.
DID YOU KNOW?
That if milk had gone up as much as other foods it would now cost 30c a quart

Jinx Riding With Yankees
BROOKLYN—(U.P.)-The New York Yankees had a 52-year-old jinx and "bullet" Bob Turley going for them today in the third game of the World Series.
The weather turned up as a factor with the possibility of showers or thunder-showers in the morning and early afternoon. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick held sole authority to postpone the contest. He is expected to inspect the field, in the event of rain, late in the morning. If possible, the game will go on, even if it is played in a drizzle.
CU Coach Adds Player
Professional oddsmakers, who are never swayed by such things as birthdays or any other sentimental circumstances, quoted the Yankees
"I have a hunch we won't be coming back here again," one Yankee player said and another agreed with him as they left Yankee Stadium yesterday.
as 19 to 5 favorites to win the series. Largely because of the site switch from Yankee Stadium to Ebbets field, they quoted the Dodgers as 11 to 10 favorites for today's game.
The Dodgers, down two games already and well aware no team ever has won a seven-game World Series after losing the first two games, nominated southpaw Johnny Podros, who celebrates his 23rd birthday today, to put them back in the series.
Head coach Dal Ward failed to arrive at practice Thursday as his Colorado Buffaloa drilled for their Big Seven conference opener in Boulder against Kansas. Ward was at the Boulder Sanitarium, where his wife, Jane, gave birth to a boy.
If the Yankees do make it a clean sweep, it will be nothing new for them. They have done so six times previously in World Series play.
Colorado fullback John Bayuk has trimmed down from 220 pounds to 204 this season. Last year as a sophomore Bayuk was a sensation, leading the Big Seven in rushing
Guard Dick Stapp of the Buffaloes returned to school last year after a two years' absence and immediately stepped into a starting position. He's been there ever since.
