With your permission, we'll just roam about the sports world today and hop from item to item.
First, while we know this is no place to carry on a personal fight, we did not write the little squid in the Kansan earlier this week about football players not standing up for the playing of the Alma Mater.
In defense of the players, we were sitting in the press box across from the student section Saturday, and we never heard the school song being played. We had our mind on the game, not the band, and we are sure those athletes on the bench did also.
We think gridders, basketball players, track men, or any other sports performer is just as loyal to KU as most of the other students —just attend one of the pre-game rallies sometime and see how many "loyal" fans turn out to cheer on the team.
-KU-
While we have been a Yankee fan more than six years, we still cannot figure out just how old Casey Stengel has done what he has.
We scanned each day's box score to see how the champs were faring md seldom saw the same 8-man team each day. We remember one day in particular.
The previous game Hank Bauer had gone four for five, and had clubbed a double and a home run. The next afternoon against the same team, Irv Noren was in right field instead of Bauer. What did Noren do? He just went three for four and got a bases-loaded triple.
-KU-
We were tickled to hear the announcement about the material now being available for the new fieldhouse, but, even though work was to be resumed Oct. 1 we haven't as yet noticed any new developments. Right here and now might be a good time to reaffirm our stand on the proposed name of the structure. You may recall the campaign we conducted last spring to have basketball coach Pholl Allen's name on the building in honor of all he has done for KU specifically and
basketball in general. That proposal, in spite of almost statewide endorsement, was vetoed by the board of regents at its May meeting.
We still have letters from Gov. Arn, Sen. Schoeppel, Sen. Carlson, former Gov. Al Landon, former Gov. Harry Wooding, Clyde Lovelle, Ralph Miller, and Bob Busby expressing their entire approval of the Allen fieldhouse. Also, Glenn Cunningham told us at a dinner here last April that he, too, was in favor of the plan.
We aren't going to work on the proposal as hard this year. We think the board took no action last year because, as Chancellor Murphy said, "I am not going to concern myself with a name for the fieldhouse until it is built."
We still think the board will honor Dr. Allen by affixing his name to the arena. When it is finished we think public sentiment, as shown last year, will win out in the Jayhawker coach's favor.
—KU—
We don't see how any cross-country outfit will come near the fleet Jayhawk hill and dale men this fall. A quick rundown on Bill Easton's lineup, res Santee, Art Wilson and Kelsey Wilson—shows that Kansas must be favored at this juncture to cop its seventh straight Big Seven crown.
If Norm Bitner, team captain last year who did not run in a single meet because of an injured knee, can come around, we predict complete runaways in every one of the five meets. Bitner, however, had the knee operated on last spring and has not been able to do much running to date.
Warren Spahn of Milwaukee and Ed Lopat of the Yankas were the stingiest pitchers in the majors this year. Spahn ended up with a 2.10 earned-run-average while Lopat compiled a 2.43 mark.
Freshmen Play K-State Friday At Haskell
The Javahawk freshman football team Friday night will play Kansas State's little Wildcats in its first game of the season. Game time at Haskell stadium is 8 p.m.
As a team, the junior version of the Jayhawks is light, but speed, aggressiveness, and spirit are excellent. The frosh have scrimmaged in three weeks and have looked good on numerous occasions.
Freshman mentor Wayne Replogle said "I probably won't know the exact starting lineup until after today's practice."
He named 20 players who could answer the opening gun. Eight of the group are from out of the state and three played last year for Lawrence High school, mythical state championship eleven.
Allowed only a pair of yearling games by Big Seven rule, the other game will be Nov. 6 against Missouri at Columbia.
Last year at Manhattan the two
outsits battled to a scoreless dead-
lock.
The 20 players Replogle listed:
Ends: Bob Preston, Lawrence, and
Bill Bell, Hickman Mills, Mo.
B. Belt, Hickman Mhls Mo.
Lt. Belt, McGill Mb,
Pa., and Jack Poe, Lawrence
Center: Frank Black, Lawrence.
Quarterbacks: Bob Boring, Kansas City;
Mo. Tom Slaymaker, Kansas City,
Mo. or Tom Webb, Norma. Okla.
Halfbacks: Ted Rohde, South Sioux City, Iowa; Tom Kwipach, Sioux City, Iowa; Gary Johnson,son; Drane Hurton, Bill Davis or Dyright Dinsmore, Wijbita.
Guards: Charlie Burton, Kansas
and Bill Armstrong, Amarillis
TEXS
Fullbacks: John Savage, Leonard,
Texas.; Otho Sweazy, Colby, or Dick
Todd, Minneapolis.
Faurot Lineup Shift Forced by Injuries
Columbia, Mo. — (U.P.) — Injured quarterback Tony Scardino forced a backfield shakeup in Coach Don Faurot's first string Tiger eleven for their meeting with Southern Methodist at Dallas tomorrow night.
First, Faurot switched reserve fullback Jim Milme to second string left halfback. Milne will probably back up regular halfback Bob Cotton who in turn may have to back up regular quarterback Vic Eaton.
The starting right halfback, Ed Merrifield, is out with a sprained ankle. Jack Fox will start in his position, Faurot indicated.
The Jayhawkier cross-country team, Big Seven champions the past six years, will be gunning for its twenty-third straight triumph inison opener Oct 6 against Texas and Oklahoma AKA at Still-water.
Distance Men Go After No.23
Bitter underwent an operation on the ailing knee last spring and still is unable to do much heavy running.
Other veterans back are Art Dallzell, Lloyd Koby and Dick Wilson, and if Bitner cannot make a comeback, sophomores Allen Frame, Tom Rupp, or Bob Creighton may fill in the fifth spot.
Big Seven individual titlist Wes Santee, who won against the Aggies in 15:14:3 last year, is beginning his final year of eligibility and is favored to repeat in the conference meet.
Coach Bill Easton has four returning letter winners for his squad of five. Norm Bitner, captain last fall, who did not compete because of a knee injury, may rejoin the team.
Oct. 16—Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma A&M, at Stillwater.
Oct. 26—Drake, here, 4 p.m.
Oct. 31—Missouri, here, 10 a.m.
Nov. 6—Oklahoma, at Norman,
Nov. 14—Big Seven meet, here prior to Oklahoma A&M football game.

Four Fraternity 'B' Teams Cop IM Football Openers
In the intramural Fraternity "B" league yesterday, Beta, Phi Delt I, SAE, and ATO won their first contests of the year. All the games were one-sided except the SAE-Phi Delt II struggle, which was decided by a narrow 8-4 margin.
Turner said he's through waning for Kid Gavilan to decide whether he going to keep the 147-pound title or move up to the middleweight class.
Detroit—(U.P.)-Gil Turner, the 22-year-old power puncher from Philadelphia, said he's ready for a shot at the welterweight title after an easy 10-round decision over Italo Scortichini at Olympia last night.
Turner, who weighed 156, a half-pound more than Scortchini, never was able to floor his rival although battering him with almost monotonous regularity for the last eight rounds.

SAE scored a second quarter touchdown on a 40-yard pass from Humphreys to Duggan. Phi Delt countered with safeties in the third and fourth periods, but SAE added an insurance safety in the fourth.
ATO 19. Delta Chi 0
ATO was never in serious danger as it scored in the first, third, and fourth quarters to move past Delta Chi. Chuck Goldenberg set up the first tally with a pass interception, which was followed by a 19-yard pass from Walz to Sielep for the score.
In the third period, Dean Scott intercepted a pass on the Delta Chi 14-yard line and lugges it across for the touchdown. Scott did it again in the fourth quarter when he intercepted another pass thrown by the ball and executed another touchdown. A pass, Goldenberg to Walz, added the extra point.
Beta 29. AEPi 0
Beta scored touchdowns in every period and added a first quarter safety to crush AEPI, 29-0. McColey was the standout for the Betas as he passed for three TDs and kicked three extra points.

Todays games, all in the Fraternity "A" league are: Beta vs. PiKA; Lambda Chi vs. Triangle; Phi Gam vs. Phi Kap; and Delta Chi vs. Sigma Nu.
Each team remembered players who were with the team part of the season but were gone by series time and the Dodgers even voted a flat $500 to pitcher Don Newcombe, their big star who is in the Army.
New York—The world champion New York Yankees were awarded today for their latest World Series triumph with the fattest pay check in series history, while the losing Dodgers were consolled with a loser's check that almost equalled the previous record for a winner.
Yankees Get Record Purse
The office of baseball commissioner Ford Frick revealed that the Yankees split up a pot of $290,363.48, while the Dodgers sliced up $193,-575.65.
The Yankees voted 29 full shares,
plus 16 fractional shares. A full
share worth a record $8,280.68.
The Dodgers also voted 29 full
shares, worth in this case $6,178.42
each, plus six smaller shares.
The total players pool, including the amounts going to the Yanks and Dodgers and the much lesser sums going to the second, third, and fourth place teams in each league, was a record $691,341.61.
