Uclan's Invade Kansas WithPower-ladenTeam
UCLA will play Kansas at Memorial stadium tomorrow in a game that will feature the Rose Bowl finalist's single wing batteringram. A crowd of about 23,000 is expected at the game which will begin at 2:00 p.m.
The Bruins will invade with a team, which, by their own admission, is better than last year's Pacific Coast conference champions at every position except wingback and tailback. Bill Stits, now with the Detroit Lions, and Paul Cameron, tough-running triple-threater, both lifted by graduation, are the only non-returning members.
However, the line, exceptionally stout the past two seasons, may be the best in Bruin history. Improved passing from Cameron's replacement, Primo Villanueva, 172-pound Mexican, insure wider versatility. Bob Davenport, a 203-pounder who once lived in Oakley, Kans., may become one of

--the finest fullbacks in Coach Red Sanders career.
Twenty-one lettermen return from the club that won eight last season bowing only to Stanford, 20-21, and to Michigan State, 20-28, in the Rose bowl. Among these veterans are three who answered the kickoff against the Spartans: end Rommie Loudd, tackle Jack Ellens, and guard Sam Boghosian. Ellena and Jim Salsbury, between them, earned a spot on every preseason all-American team.
Thus, Sanders is well equipped to guide his club to the Coast title again. The Bruins opened this season by whipping San Diego Navy, 67-0, last Saturday. KU played TCU virtually even for three quarters before going down, 6-27, in its opener.
The Jayhawkers humbled two other west coast clubs with two of their best postwar teams in 1951, when they came from behind to clip Loyola of Los Angeles, 34-26, and 1952, when they spilled Santa Clara, 21-9. Both games were played at Lawrence.
UCLA's appearance here no only will be the first by a Pacific Coast conference member, but will mark the first time a Rose Bowl game is played in the league, the season immediately following its play in the Pasadena classic.
Loudd, Ellena, and Bogosian all were starters on the left side of the line last season as the Bruins subdued KU at Los Angeles, 19-7. Quarterback Terry Debay, who also started in that one, will face
The Kansans again as a first-stringer. It was Debay who's two blocked punts that set-up UCLA's first and third touchdowns last year after KU had staggered the Bruins with two long first quarter drives which netted a 7-0 lead.
Coach Chuck Mather will shuffle his starters at only one spot, quarterback, where Bev Buller, Lyons junior, will move ahead of John McFarland. Buller threw a 10-yard pass to end Don Martin on the fourth down for the Kansan's only score against TCU.
KU may not have the services of its veteran left end, Don Braxcelin, who injured a knee in the TCU game. This may place another 55 minute burden on Ted Rohde, 187-pound madeover halfback, who punted to a new school single-game record of 44.9 yards in his collegiate debut.
In 1897 Charles Speak of KU returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown against Kansas City Medics in a game Kansas w 22-8.
Bill Weidlein kicked eight extra points against St. Merys in 1912 as KU won 62-0.
Cleveland Seeks AL Win Record
By UNITED PRESS
The triumphant Cleveland Indians, looking to add some embroidery to the pennant they have already clinched, aimed for their 111th victory of the season today which would break an American league record held by the New York Yankees since 1927.
The Indians, with a record of 110 victories and only 41 defeats, own a percentage of .728, which eclipses the .714 mark posted by the famed "Roy" Row<sup>3</sup>. Yankee team of 1927 which lost 44 games while winning 110.
Early Wynn (22-11) was Manager Al Lopez' nominee to seek the record today against George Zuverink (9-12) of Detroit.
In the only action on the major league front yesterday, Stan Lopata's three-run homer in the first inning propelled the Pirates to a 4-2 victory over the Pirates in a regularly-scheduled game after the Phils edged the Bucs, 7-6 in the completion of a suspended game.
Cleveland, with only two more games left after today, can not possibly equal the major league record of 116 victories in a single season set by the Chicago Cubs in 1906. The Cubs lost only 36 games that year for a .763 percentage.
Robin Roberts, hurling only one inning, gained his 23rd victory in the abbreviated contest when the Phils broke a 6-6 tie with a run in the ninth on Del Ennis' infield out with the bases filled. Richie Ashburn came home as the Pirates missed making a double play. The game was a continuation of the 6-all deadlock of Aug. 15 caused by the Pennsylvania curfew law.
Chicago — (U.P.) The American League could lay the groundwork Tuesday for transfer of the franchise of the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City, or some other site for 1955. President Will Harridge indicated today.
AL Conference To Discuss A's
Harridge called the eight club owners into session at New York's Commodore hotel Tuesday at noon to discuss the "Philadelphia situation" with Roy Mack, executive vice president of the team and holder of half of the stock of the club.
But he pointed out that the league could approve sale of the franchise to Johnson, or to some other bidder, and likewise could approve transfer of the franchise on a contingency basis.
Reports have been frequent since early August that Mack his brother Earl and his father, Connie Mack, the founder of the team, would sell the franchise to Arnold Johnson of Chicago, who then would move the team to Kansas City.
Harridge said that nothing would be done about moving the team at Tuesday's meeting.
"It's merely a preliminary meeting." Harridge said. "You can't make application to take over minor league territory until after Oct. 1, but the league can approve or disapprove of the move."
Last week's football predictions turned out much better than anticipated, only one miss. This is a new week with new games; and too many close ones. The rabbit's foot better be working again.

UCLA at Kansas—This could be a close game if the Uclans don't play their first two teams more than a few minutes. The Bruins have a possible all-American in tackle Jack Ellena, a first-class tailback in Primo Villaueva and an, all-conference fullbac kin Bob Davenport. UCLA by plenty.
Missouri at Purdue—This is a game that could go either way. Missouri has plenty of lettermen back, and Purdue will want to make up for last season's loss to Mizzou; Purdue in a close one.
Kansas State at Wyoming—Another one to make clark hair turn white, Kansas State looked good winning last week and Wyoming looked good losing. Kansas State should make it two in a row.
Colorado A&M at Colorado—The Buffaloes weren't tested too much in beating Drake last week. This season they should knock a little harder to defeat A&M.
Nebraska at Minnesota—Both schools are opening their seasons. When a team is weak the commentator will call Nebraska a rebuilding Minnesota.
Iowa State at Northwestern-
Iowa State's 1954 one-game winning
streak is in great jeopardy. North-
western.
TCU at Oklahoma—TCU's sopio-
mores looked pretty good against
KU last week, but Oklahoma isn't
picked No. 1 in the nation for nothing.
Oklahoma easily.
Here are the rest of the big ones, Southern Cal over Pittsburgh (tonight), Arkansas over Tulane, Army over South Carolina, Georgia over Cemson, Georgia Tech over Florida, Illinois over Penn State, Michigan State over Iowa, Mississippi over Kentucky, Navy over William & Mary, Notre Dame over Texas. Ohio State over Indiana, Duke over Penn, Stanford over Oregon, Oklahoma A&M over Texas A&M, and Wichita over Utah State.
New York —(U.P.)— Jack Fischer's a Brooklyn restaurant, ran the following advertisement in New York newspapers today: "In memoriam. Our Dodgers lost the pennant. Closed Monday."
In Memory of The Dodgers
Against Missouri in 1942 Fay Evans handled the ball on 40 plays from scrimmage and ran and passed for 266 yards as Kansas was defeated 42-13.
Rav Evans ran end passed for 1410 vards during the 1942 season. In 311 plays he ran for 293 vards and passes for 1171 vards, and this total ranked him fifth in the nation.
Kansas defeated South Dakota State 86-6 in 1947, the most points ever scored by a Kansas team in one game.
Seven of the eight club owners must approve sale of a league franchise, while six of the owners must approve transfer of a franchise to another city.

Rohde, Bracelin Hurt To See Limited Action
Ted Rohde, who set a new Kansas single-game record Saturday by averaging 44.9 yards with eight punts against TCU, will see limited action this weekend due to injuries. Rohde has seen little action this week in scrimmage and will perform only on offense Saturday giving way to Don Martin for the defensive assignment at left end.
Hawk'B'Team Meets Ravens
A Kansas "B" unit will travel to Atchison Saturday following the UCLA game to meet St. Benedict's "A" team. Coach Chuck Mather will send a 20 to 25 man squad made up primarily of players not seeing action against UCLA.
This will be the only 'B' team game played this season by the Jayhawks as they will attempt to strengthen their reserve power.
The St. Benedict Ravens lost their opener to Northeast Oklahoma State by a narrow 19-18 score Saturday.
Mather will send his five graduate coaching staff members to handle the night game. Making up the staff will be Dick Schine, Ralph Sabach, Al Gebert, Ken (Red) Morrow, and Frank Sabatini.
The team will travel by bus to the game, which begins at eight p.m on the Raven field.

Rohde will be remembered for his first punt of 61 yards against TCU which stopped shied shy of the Horned Frog goal line.
BULLER
ROHDE
Senior end Don Bracelin will also spend a majority of the UCLA game on the bench as a result of injuries. Bracelin, a two-year letterman for the Jayhawks, has participated only in light workouts this week in hopes he may be used sparingly against the strong California guests. Coach Dale said Don Bracelin, 75 junior quarterback, will start against the Bruins in place of John McFarland. Buller aided the Kansas passing attack last week by throwing to Don Martin for KU's only score.
