University Daily Kansan Page 5 By KEN BRONSON Kansan Sports Writer We've been sitting around since last Thursday night awaiting an explanation on why there wasn't any rally. As yet we haven't received a report from any of the organizations who should have handled the situation and we're still wondering what went wrong. Altogether two things happened last week that riled our usually calm temper. First was the small article that appeared in last Monday's Kansan criticizing football players for not standing when the Alma Mater was played. Second was that colossal blunder of the four campus pep organizations in failing to provide a rally for the team when it left for Boulder. For one thing, the boys on the bench weren't thinking about the music so ably rendered by Prof. Russell L. Wiley and his band but in all probability they were thinking about the game being played on the field. Any football player will tell you that music is fine, but . . . The short article has been made into a long one. The football players didn't like the comment, Coach Sikes didn't like it, and probably several hundred students didn't like it. The Alma Mater was played mid-way in the fourth quarter. It might be an unwritten law but it was our understanding that the song should be played at the end of the third period. We might go a step farther and suggest that it be played at halftime when everyone is down under buying hot-dog. In either case, it certainly shouldn't be played in the middle of the fourth quarter when the game is at its best. It's pretty and nice but it has its place. Thursday night offered another splendid opportunity for someone to criticize school spirit. A KuKu club member was asked Friday morning about the rally the night before. Between half-closed eyes he muttered, "What rally?" Well, there wasn't a rally. Besides a handful of townspeople and the coaches' wives, there was a total of two students and a Daily Kansan photographer on hand. That isn't what we would call a rally. Something was forgotten somewhere. It makes little difference now. The Jayhawkers won and the boys didn't seem to care very much about the missing throng at the Union Pacific station. It would be nice though to have more than two students see them off this week when they run into tough Oklahoma. Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1953 It all boils down to the fact that students are students and pretty bull-headed students at that. They say they're grown up now and yelling for dear-old KU is kids stuff. But have they just grown up since KU defeated K-State last year in basketball or when the Jayhawkers won the NCAA title in 1952? There was plenty of enthusiasm then. And while we're hoping, let's hope that the pep organizations realize in the near future that their uniforms do not incite much team spirit when the outfits are worn after the team has left on a road trip. They might be brightly colored but we doubt if they can be seen 250 miles away. Sterling-Oliver, Battenfeld, Twin Pines, and NROTC scored second round wins in Independent "A" intramural football Monday. Twin Pines (2-0) moved into the Division II league lead with their win while Jolliffe (1-0), who drew a bye Monday, emerged on top of the scrambled Division I standings. IM Play Marked By 3 Games, Forfeit Sterling-Oliver 5. Stephenson $ \textcircled{6} $ With a last period safety providing the winning margin, Sterling-Oliver eked out an 8-6 win over Stephenson, Battling to a scoreless tie at halftime, Sterling-Oliver broke the scoring ice in the third canto as Charles Wertz fired to Larry Goudey for six points. Stephenson knotted the count in the final stanza on a Les Callahan to Ivan Watkins aerial. A Stephenson fumble in their own end zone resulted in the safety that proved to be the deciding tally. Twin Pines 12, Don Henry 0 Rallying for a pair of second half touchdowns Twin Pines gained a 12-0 verdict over Don Henry. After a defensive first half Twin Pines notched their first counter in the third quarter when Vie Aldea pitched 11 yards to Bob Harry to cap a 55-yard scoring march. Late in the final stanza Alder tossed a screen pass to Charles Spencer who carried for the score. Standout line play was turned in by Harry for Twin Pines and Herb Pearson for Don Henry. Battenfeld 28. Pearson 0 Battiefeld 28, Pearson 6 Ed Wall's passing paced Battenfeld's attack as they thumped Pearson 28-0. In the opening stanza Ferrill Standage gathered in a Wall heave and rambled for the first score. Wall connected with Charles Bogan for the extra point. Following a second quarter safety, Wall found the range again as he hit Dick McFarren with a touchdown toss. Bogan again converted the extra point. Wall connected with another payoff heave to Standage for a third quarter Battenfeld score. A blocked punt recovered by Paul Enos in the end zone accounted for the final tally. NROTC 1. ISA-A 0 In the final game of the day NROTC was awarded a 1-0 forfeit over ISA "A". Today's slate finds AFROTC vs. Liahona and Jim Beam vs. ISA "B" in Independent "A" and Beta vs. Delts and Kappa Sig vs. Phiam in Fraternity "B". Frosh Game Has Strange Statistics By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Writer It has been some time since the football "game" at Haskell stadium last Friday, but we finally get around to compiling some astounding statistics on the two freshman eleven. The two starting quarterbacks, Tom Slaymaker of KU, and Larry Elliott of Kansas State, accounted for the highest net yardage outputs for their teams and generally appeared to be the best pair of backs on the field. Slaymaker, all-league selection last year at Central High school in Kansas City, Mo., fired 10 forward passes and connected on 6 for a total of 158 yards, or all the air yards Kansas picked up in the entire contest. In addition the 6-1, 184 pounder was credited with 32 yards on four ground carries. When Elliott was not in the fray the K-State attack was almost nonexistent, and KU's overhead game was completely nil when Slaymaker was out for rests. Only one other pass was tried by the Jayhawks and it fell incomplete. Five non-Elliott forwards by the Manhattanists found Elliott, 6-3, 180 pound freshman from Ulysses, was undoubtedly the only person who kept the little Wildcats anywhere near the Jayhawks. In five aerial completions in 10 attempts, he accounted for 93 yards, and added another 32 on nine runs. YOUR EYES should be examined today, Call for appointment. Any lens or Prescription duplicated. LAWENCE OPTICAL CO. Phone 425 1025 Mass. their mark out of 10 tries for 67 yards. Several of KU coach Wayne Replogle's charges turned up with fine ground games. Tom Webb, 5-10, 185-pound fullback from Norman, Okla., had the best per carry average—13.7, with 41 net yards on four lugs. Honors for the most yards accounted for on the ground go to left half Don Crane. The 6 foot, 180-pound Hugeton resident accumulated 68 on only four carries for a 12-yard average. Others in the top bracket for Kansas were Otho Sweazy, 54 yards on 10 carries for 5.4, and Tom Kwapich. 29 yards on six tries for a 4.5 percentage. Workhorse for the visitors was chunky Bill Carrington, 6-1, 195-pound halfback from Kansas City, Mo. He carried the most times for the losers, 12, and got 88 yards, for an average of 7.4 per try. One thing that drew some comment was the large influx of out-of-staters on both squads. The scorecard showed 17 Jayhawkers to be from somewhere else than Kansas. Fourteen of the 36-man K-State traveling squad were non-residents. CHAPPELL'S AUTO TRIM Custom-Made Seat Covers Convertible Tops Auto Upholstering Auto Painting One unusual thing that struck us was the seeming lethargy of the visiting outfit. Some of the time some K-State players did not seem to care if they were in the play or not and we noticed several lack-adaisical tries at tackles and blocks by the K-Staters. The KU spirit, however, as the score might indicate, was excellent, with good blocking and tackling most of the time. Two on the Wildcat roster are from Kansas City, Mo., and one KU player is also. One frosh on the visiting eleven is from Kirkland Lake Canada. Phone 1121 On the whole, the KU performance showed there are some sophomores-to-be who will be mighty valuable men for head coach J. V. Sikes' varsity next fall. The only other tilt for the frosh this year will be Nov. 6 against the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. 646 Calif. - At 1700 W 7th DOROTHY L AM O U R Big Seven Briefs BY UNITED PRESS IN PERSON - South Sea Islanders - with her Variety Review - Paramount Studio Band * Dancers & Comedians Tigers to Scrimmage - Dancers & Comedians Columbia, Mo.-The Missouri university Tigers were expected to hold a heavy drill today, preparing for the upcoming Big Seven clash with Iowa State. At TOPEKA AUDITORIUM The Tigers had some good news yesterday when they learned that the four gridmen who were injured in a 20-7 last weekend loss to Southern Methodist will be able to play Saturday. OCT. 15 Thursday However, Coach Don Faurot added that halfback Ed Merrifield, quarterback Tony Scardino, and reserve halfback Jerry Schoonmaker, injured in the Colorado game, will be out of action again this weekend. 8:30 Cats Drill on Passes $1.00 and Activity Card for Students Reserved Seats Available For This Two-Hour Show Manhattan—The Kansas State Wildcats scheduled a tougher drill oday--after breezing through a tight set of passing drills here yesterday. Coach Bill Meek, limbering his team up for a Big Seven battle here Saturday with Colorado, said his squad, now atop the conference standings, had been able to make its good showing so far because of extra depth and experience. Fumbles Cost NU Lincoln, Neb.-Coach Bill Glassford, lamenting the "mistakes and fumbles" which he said cost his Nebraska Cornhuskers their game against Pittsburgh last Saturday, promised drills throughout this week to prevent any recurrence of "fumblitis." He said the team showed up well defensively last weekend, but still lacked a consistent scoring punch. Jenkins Out 3 Weeks Boulder, Colo.—Homer Jenkins, talented Colorado university sophomore tailback, will be out of action for at least three weeks with his leg in a cast. Jenkins, instead of suffering a mere sprained ankle as first thought in last Saturday's game with Kansas here, cracked a bone (fibula) in his leg. Reynolds' Back Holds Pitcher's Future Oklahoma City —(UP)— New York Yankee hurler Allie Reynolds, who sprained his back pitching in the World Series, couldn't say today whether or not he was through with baseball. "At my age, it isn't any fun any more," he said. But he said his back injury could be a deciding factor. Supreme Court To Hear Baseball Antitrust Case Washington—(U.P.)—The Supreme Court scheduled arguments today on whether organized baseball is still a sport or whether it has become a business—subject to the antitrust laws. The justices are examining complaints by two ball players and a minor league club owner. The three are seeking damages they claim they suffered under the present rules of the game. An hour's time has been allotted to each case. The arguments will carry over into tomorrow. Lower courts have dismissed the cases without trial on the basis of an opinion rendered 30 years ago by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. The Supreme Court found then that baseball was merely a sport—outside the scope of the antitrust laws. 11 the present bench reversed the Holmes decision, the cases can go to trial to determine whether there actually have been violations and if so what damages the complainants have suffered. The controversy centers around the "reserve clause" which is inserted in every contract between a player and a club owner. This universally accepted clause permanently "reserves" a man's playing rights to the team that owns his contract. He may then be sold or transferred anywhere in the country at the owner's whim. The player cannot bargain as a "free agent" until the owner gives him permission—a situation which seldom occurs if the player has any trading value. Professional football, basketball and hockey operate in a somewhat similar manner. Trabert, Connolly Win Tennis Titles Mexico City—(U.P.)—Tony Trabert and Maureen (Little Mo) Connolly, U.S. tennis champions, today held the men's and women's singles titles of the 12th annual Pan American tournament. Trabert, of Cincinnati, defeated Denmark champion Kurt Nielsen, 6-2. 6-4. 6-1. Miss Connolly, of San Diego, had little trouble swatting out Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio, 6-1, 6-1, to take the women's singles final. Miss Fry, previous singles winner in France, Australia, and England, teamed with Beverly Baker Fleitz of Santa Monica, Calif., to win the women's doubles finals from Melita Ramirez and Maria Tapia of Mexico, 11-9, 2-6, 6-4.
