Time—Nov. 7. Place—Memorial stadium, Lawrence. Occasion— Kansas vs. Kansas State. Probable crowd—30,000. Probable winner —Who knows?
The outcome of this year's intrastate football game, is doubtful for the first time in eight years. Will KU win its eighth straight game from the Wildcats, or will the Manhattanites, as their followers would have us believe, be ahead at the finish?
Many angles might be brought up about the forthcoming game between the old rivals. The last time K-State defeated the Jayhawks was in 1944 at Lawrence. The score was 18-14. But the over-all standing has KU way out in front, 33-14-3.
But this year, for the first time since 1934, K-State has won three conference games—and the season is but half over. KU, on the other hand, picked by writers and broadcasters in a pre-season poll to finish four, has a 2-1 league record to date.
However, KU already has run into the vaunted Oklahoma machine, something K-State has not—which may slow State down a bit. The Kansas schools have met two common foes already. KU downed Colorado 27-21 at Boulder and K-State won over the Buffs 28-14 at Manhattan. The Jayhawks beat Iowa State 23-0 here and the Wildcats beat the Cyclones 20-12 at Ames.
In other contests K-State beat Drake 50-0, Nebraska 27-0, and lost to Colorado A&M 13-14. Kansas, on the other hand, lost its opener to TCU 0-13, and lost to UCLA, one of the nation's top eleven's, 7-19.
We have never taken comparative scores for very much, but they are given for the benefit of mathematical experts who think they can predict the outcome through figures.
On the two weekends remaining before the game in question K-State runs into Wichita and Oklahoma, and KU plays SMU and Nebraska.
Here is one factor that might give the visitors a slight edge. The 'Cats, after their amazing success early in the season, might suffer a slight let-down Saturday against the Shockers. After knocking off a trio of Big Seven teams, the Wichita encounter might appear to be just a breather for the K-Staters—something which may backfire into a Wichita victory.
Kansas, though, must be "up" for its game this weekend. Southern Methodist is proving a scourge in the Southwest conference (1-0 in conference play and 3-1 in all games), and will probably be favored by a touchdown or two.
We predict it will be rather difficult for K-State coach Bill Meek to get his charges, no matter what their record, into the proper mood for the Sooners. As the majority of Big Seven teams have done the past several years, we think the K-Staters will more or less resign themselves to the fact they are going to get blasted, and will just go through the motions to see how well they can hold Oklahoma.
Kansas, however, again must play a top-notch game if it is to remain in a respectable position in the conference. The last KU road game of the campaign will be a serious test. The on-again-off-again Cornhuskers, after meeting Missouri the previous week, may well be high for Kansas.
This brings us to the all-Kansas game here the following Saturday. After they have been "up" for two straight games, the KU athletes may find it hard to key themselves properly for K-State, especially if Oklahoma rips the Wildcats to little pieces. The Wildcats, though, after appearing on the same field with the Sooners, should be able to gender up enough steam for the game with Coach J. V. Sikes' bunch—especially with the thought of ending the long jinx.
We won't attempt to predict the outcome—but you can bet it will be one of the best grid games offered here this season.
UCLA Coach Still For 1-Platoon Ball
Los Angeles —(UP)— Coach Henry (Rand) Sanders of UCLA, a leading advocate of one-platoon football, refused to blame the new rule for his team's 21 to 20 defeat by Stanford last weekend.
In the fourth period of the game, after UCLA lost the ball, Sanders pulled his star, halffallback Paul Cameron. Stanford scored a 17-10 victory for the CLE and the ball, but for eight minutes they didn't have Cameron in the game.
When his strategy was questioned yesterday at a meeting of the Southern California Football Writers association, Sanders replied:
"I felt the same twinge of remorse I experienced last year in
should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any lens or Prescription duplicated.

K-State reserve right halfback Corky Taylor leads the Big Seven scoring parade with 43 points on seven touchdowns and an extra point. He is followed closely by teammate Veryl Switzer who has scored 30 points on five TD's. Switzer is State's starting right halfback.
the southern California game when Cameron threw a pass that was intercepted by USC to beat us. I wished then I had taken him out of play before."
Lincoln, Neb. — (U.P.) Coach Bill Glassford, expecting a tough battle from conference foe Missouri Saturday, planned rough workouts for his Nebraska university Cornhuskers today.

HuskersSetRoughWorkouts In Readiness for Tiger Foe
Glassford gave his regulars a rest yesterday and took only a light workout in sweat clothes.
fullback Ray Novak, who didn't play in last weekend's game because of a ruptured blood vessel in his leg, was expected to be ready for the Missouri game, as was Ted Connor, a tackle who was injured in the Miami contest.
Ames, Iowa—(U.P.)—The Iowa State college football team had some bad news today. The services of end Barney Alleman had been lost for about 10 days.
Alleman reinjured his ankle in last Saturday's 13-6 upset of Missouri and it has been put in a cast.
Manhattan — (U.P.)— Kansas State footballers expected some rough workouts from coach Bill Meek today, after a light, 45-minute drill here yesterday.
Wildcat injuries from last Saturday's game with Colorado were slight. Quarterback Bob Dahnke, guard Price Gentry, tackles Ron Marcinelli and Earl Meyer, and half-back Joe Switzerland all picked up bruises, but all were expected to be ready for the Wichita game this Saturday.
Columbia, Mo.—U.P.)—Coach Don Faurot indicated yesterday that regular halfback Ed Merrifield may be ready for Saturday's homecoming game against Nebraska.
Merrifield had done only kicking since his ankle injury three weeks ago.
Faurot had words of praise for Iowa State's performance in last Saturday's upset of Missouri.
Boulder, Colo. —(U.P.) Colorado university Coach Dallas Ward, facing Oklahoma next Saturday, is running out of tailbacks.
Ward lost another tailback here yesterday when the squad's trainer announced Bill Horton probably will be unable to play the rest of the season because he re-injured a pulled leg muscle in the Kansas State game last week.
That left Ward with two other ailing tailbacks, Carroll Hardy and Ron Johnson.
Galiffa Returns; Makes Pro Debut
New York—(UP)—Arnold Galifa-
former Army all-American quarterback, said today he is "starting from scratch" in his attempt to make good in professional football.
Galilfa made his pro debut Sunday for the New York Giants against the Chicago Cardinals. He wasn't brilliant but he was signed only two weeks ago and still is trying to get into condition after three years in the Army.
He took part in only a few plays and the only pass he threw was intercepted. But Coach Steve Owen believes Galifa, whose passes led Army to a perfect-record season in Cameron's leadership. Conerly to give the Giants the full 1-2 quarterback punch every National football league team needs.
Galifa has one big thing in his favor. He's deadly serious about making good. He was busy studying New York's plays long before he joined the team and he works on his passes after the other Giants have headed for the showers.
Galifta, a product of the football system taught by Coach Earl (Red) Blakie of Army, is right at home in Owen's "T" and "swing-T" formations. The 25-year-old native of Donora, Pa., isn't familiar with New York's A-formation, Owen's version of the single wing, but that doesn't worry him.

1. he hired Dolph Camilli, one
    oneiBrooklyn hero, as his first man
5. He hired Sam Chapman away from the majors.
So, instead of retrenching this year, the fiery red-head went out and hired Dressen, who managed the Brooklyn Dodgers to pennants the last two years. The contract probably will return Charley at least $40,000 per year.
4. He hired Dressen when Charley was having a tough time getting jobs and sent him back to the majors to become manager of the two-time champion Brooklyn Dodgers.
6. He hired Mel Ott to manage the Oaks—the only job Ott ever had outside of the major leagues.
Oakland, Calif.-(U.P.)-It's against the law to gamble in professional baseball, but C. L. (Brick) Laws has made such a success of gambling on personalities that he is betting a fortune Charles Dressen will revive the pastime in Oakland
Laws and his partners lost an estimated $100,000 running the Oakland Acorns in the Pacific Coast league last season.
2. He took Casey Stengel from the "graveyard" of managers, built him a pennant winner and sent him back to the majors to become the all-time New York Yankee great.
This isn't anything that could be called "unexpected" in the corner of the little Oakland owner. He had been in show business all his life until he took over the Acorns in 1944. Since then he has gone on the assumption that "names make news" in the entertainment world—whether it be on the stage or in sports. The general belief on the West coast is that Brick is the greatest showman in baseball.
Laws Gambles With Dressen
Take a look at some of these actions by Laws:
3. He gambled $7,500 that Jackie Jensen was a major league ball player and proved right by selling him to the Yankees.
For the last three years—since he lost Dressen to Brooklyn—the Oaks have been losing money. Before that they were big money-makers and Laws firmly believes they will be again.
"I'm starting from scratch but if practice will help I'll learn the A-formation before long," Galiffa said.
After 20 months in Korea, Galifa returned to Fort Benning, Ga., as an instructor in small weapons. He plans to work for a Philadelphia book concern during the off-season.
Olson-Turpin Go May Draw 16,000
New York-(U.P)-Box office men at Madison Square garden estimated today that the advance sale of $30,000 indicated a gross gate of $175,000 for tomorrow night's Bobo Olson-Randy Turpin middleweight title fight. The crowd would be about 16,000.
Although a sellout of 19,000 and $188,000 was not expected, a new record for indoor-fight coverage will be registered by more than 300 writers and photographers. They include 16 writers and cartoonists from Great Britain.
Olson of Hawaii, American champion, was still favored at 2-1 to win the vacant world's 160-pound crown in his 15-round fight with Turpin of England, ex-world champion and current European title holder.
Middleton made his statement before Turpin and his entourage set out for New York City, where he will rest at a hotel until the weigh-in tomorrow noon. There had been persistent reports Turpin had weakened himself by paring down too rapidly from 171 pounds to nearly 160. Moreover, Randy had been strangely aloof with the press.
Explaining that aloofness, Middleton admitted Randy had been "somewhat homesick."
Meanwhile, Olson remained in camp at Asbury Park, N.J., and planned to motor into New York tomorrow just in time for the weighin.
As Turpin broke camp today at Grossinger, N.Y., manager George Middleton assured reporters that the British Negro was having no trouble paring down to the 160-pound limit and that his mental attitude was excellent.
