Last Friday the sports staff crawled out on the limb in the Kansan and picked 20 football games. Now comes the reckoning. On the whole we didn't do too badly. Bob Lyle and Dick Walt came out best picking 17 right and 3 wrong but Walt, traitor that he is, had picked Washington State to beat KU. Another back-slider was Sam Jones who had picked the Cougars to win 26 to 12.

who had picked the Cougars to win 10-20. Lyle pulled the best one of the day when he picked Kentucky to upset Mississippi. He was probably the only writer in the country who did so. He must have had a lucky quarter.
Jones and Leo Flanagan picked 16 right and 4 wrong, Daryl Hall had 15 and 5, McMillion had 14 and 6, and Kent Thomas had a 13 and 7 mark. No one finished below .500.
A. The crowd at Saturday's game was a little on the thin side. That's to be expected, however, after a 17 game losing streak. With the outlook on the upswing now, however, and five more home games the crowds should start picking up and the money should start rolling in to fill the Jayhawker's dented cash drawers.
Crowds Should Improve
With some good crowds for the rest of the season and the possibilities for a good steady income from basketball the financial side of the KU athletic department should improve considerably. If the crowds do show up then next year there should be some improvements done in the various athletic plants around the campus. Most needed are a swimming pool, men and women's intramural facilities, and a student golf course.
This And That
Ted Rohde got off a great punt in the third quarter. He booted it from the 40 and it rolled out of bounds on the one yard line . . . KU was hitting so hard they were knocking the ball out of the Washington State's backs hands . . . Alertness on the part of John Drake. Dick Reich, and Galen Wahlmeier accounted for recovery of three Cougar fumbles . . . The Cougar's end Arnie Pelluer was pulling rough stuff all afternoon without getting caught but as soon as Lynn McCarthy and Gene Blasi tried to lower the boom on him out they went . . . Iowa State should be the next one ripe for the Jayhawkers. Colorado will probably be too much but you never can tell, they put their pants on the same as the Jayhawkers—one leg at a time . . . Tom Gunnari, Washington State lineman, was the outstanding player on the field . . . Somebody goofed and had the programs labeled WU instead of WSC.
1942 Series Bad For Yanks
By UNITED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn—As Johnny Beazley talked, it was as though you were right there among those screaming fans that day in 1942 when the mighty New York Yankees lost their last World Series.
St. Louis fans and Cardinal teammates were jubilant—I the Yankees stunned. Johnny was the center of it all. He had pitched the first and the last of the four straight victories the Cardinals took from New York after the Yankees won the Series opener.
Those 1942 series triumphs were to be Beaulay's last big ones in baseball, though. He went into the army and suffered a "stupid" incident that left his powerful right arm scarcely a threat to anyone.
The "stupid thing" was to pitch an Army game in the summer of 1944 when he was "out of shape." "I damaged my arm," he said. "It never worked right again."
He did pitch once again in a World Series—but it was only for one inning against the Red Sox in 1946.
All athletic teams representing the new U.S. Air Force will carry the nickname of "The Falcons."

Tonsils Floor Two Orioles
BALTIMORE — (U.P.)— Don Leppert and Bob Hale', both members of the Baltimore Orioles, will undergo tonsillectomy operations today at Union Memorial Hospital.
Jayhawk football players who saw action in Saturday's 13-0 victory over Washington State were given a short respite from the practice grind yesterday.
Coach Chuck Mather, his head still spinning over his first college football win let the regulars work in out sweat clothes while a reserve unit polished up the single wing offense which will be served up Saturday when the Hawks take on Colorado at Boulder.
One thing that will come under sharp criticism this week is Jayhawk inability to do something with the ball once they advance it past the opponents ten yard line.
Today more serious goings-on will be seen on the practice area near Allen Fieldhouse. The first string will try out their offense and defense against the mock Colorado formations which were learned by the reserves yesterday.
Gridders Rest Hard Work Next
Mather plans to make no major changes in his sophomore-studded first unit at least not until after today's headknocking session.
Four times last Saturday Kansas drove to within ten yards of the Washington State goal and then ran out of steam.
Chances are he will probably go along with the first thirteen or fourteen men who have seen the most action in KU's two games.
