After the Kansas win over Colorado Saturday, nearly everyone connected with Kansas and some who are not, are anticipating a Jayhawker win over Oklahoma.
After all, we beat Colorado 21-12 while the Sooners had to go all out to tie the Buffaloes 21-21. In addition, Colorado twice led Oklahoma while it never quite caught us.
Another factor that looks to be in our favor is Charlie Hoag's 66-yard touchdown run. Oklahoma had to put on three sustained drives for their scores and the shortest of these was 66 yards.
One other factor favoring KU in the Sooner-Jayhawker clash is the playing of the game on the Kansas field.
Man for man, the Sooners have the best backfield in the Big Seven. Who can match Eddie Crowder at quarterback, Billy Vessels at left halfback, Buddy Leake at right halfback, and Buck McPhail at full-back?

Oklahoma demonstrated its power against Pittsburgh Saturday with an easy 49-20 win.
Also, it should be remembered that Colorado had a tuneup game before meeting the Sooners while the Sooners were playing their first game of the year.
Comparing the Oklahoma and Kansas showings against Colorado, it would seem that Kansas has the better offense and Oklahoma the better defense.
Kansas, although making only 12 first downs against the Buffaloes as compared to the 16 Oklahoma ran up, totaled 270 yards rushing against the 257 made by the Sooners. In addition, Kansas passed for 79 yards while Oklahoma passed for 64. Add the totals, and it becomes apparent that the 349 yards the Kansas offense collected overshadows the 321 yards Oklahoma accumulated.
On the other hand, a look at the defensive records shows that Colorado made only 217 total yards against the Sooners while it made 346 against the Jayhawkers.
Colorado made more yardage against Kansas—both running and passing—than it did against Oklahoma.
This becomes particularly impressive when you consider that Jayhawker linemen repeatedly threw the Buffalo backs for losses.
Although it isn't often true, it is apparent in this case that the figures distort the real values of these teams.
Oklahoma managed its tie through its powerful attack. Kansas, on the other hand, beat Colorado only after two sensational goal line stands.

Actually, then, it is the Kansas defense and Oklahoma offense which makes each of these teams a contender. In combined offense-defense, Oklahoma probably holds an advantage.
However, if Oklahoma will concede nothing else, it would certainly recognize Kansas defensive ends, Morris Kay and Don Bracelin, as the best duo in the conference. Both boys do their best to provide the opposition with a fifth man in the backfield. Up to date, they have been more than successful.
With the game two weeks away, one last point must be considered. Kansas' next opponent is Iowa State. Oklahoma's next opponent is Texas. Few observers consider Iowa State a powerhouse while many believe Texas to be strong.

Unless these persons are wrong, Okallhoma will have the better tuneup for the game. In spite of common belief, the good teams are the ones that can beat top flight competition Saturday after Saturday.
Regardless what happens this Saturday, the Kansas-Oklahoma game promises to be the clash of the year.
Eliminating prejudice, we've got to pick Oklahoma as the favorite. Those goal line stands can't go on forever.
Three Forfeits In IM Football; Jim Beams Win
Forfeits marred yesterday's Independent A intramural football contests. Only one of four scheduled contests was placed.
By RONNIE PHILLIPS Kansan Sports Writer
By failing to be on the field by 4:10, Don Henry Co-op lost its scheduled game with the Air Force ROTC team I in Division II. The other Division I match between the Naval ROTC and Jolliffe wasn't played when the NROTC team couldn't field a full squad.
The duel in Division I which had Pearson pitted against the AFROTC team II wasn't run off when the air force team found it also was short of men.
In the only encounter of the afternoon, the Jim Beams, last year's Independent A champions, continued their winning ways by trumping a completely outclassed Oread hall team 22-0.
Led by the passing combination of Bill Porter to Bob Trego, the Jim Beam's racked up tallies in the first, second, and fourth periods. The first touchdown was made on a 10 yard buttonhook pass from Porter to Charles Kennedy. The extra point was scored on a pass from Porter to Lee Woody setting the score at 7-0.
Early in the second quarter, the Jim Beams capitalized on the weak Oread secondary for another touchdown. Standing on the Oread 30 yard line, the Beams flooded Oread's right flat and Porter hit Trego with a sharp spot pass. Trego rambled the remaining yardage to the goal line to boost the score to 13-0.
Oread's offensive attack picked up several times during the third period and they knocked on the Jim Beams' goal line twice. But the Jim Beams' defense rose to the occasion both times, and stopped the Oread drive. Lack of practice and coordination were decisive factors against the Oread offense and defense in the clutch.
Gavilan to Force Robinson Bout
Havana, Cuba (U.P.)-Welterweight Champion Kid Gavilan, completely satisfied by his latest title defense against New York's Billy Graham, said today he has plans to force Sugar Ray Robinson into a fight for the middleweight title.
Performing before the largest crowd in Cuban ring history, the bolo-punching keed pounded his way to a unanimous 15-round decision over Graham Sunday in their return title bout at Grand stadium.
This latest victory over Graham provided the Cuban Hawk with two separate thrills. First, it was his initial title defense before his native countrymen. Second, it appeared to remove the stigma of that Madison Square garden title bout with Graham last year, when Gavilan was awarded a much-disputed decision.
In the last quarter an Oread fumble behind its goal line resulted in two more points for the Jim Beams. The winners scored their final tally with three minutes left. Porter, after evading a surge of defensive linemen on the Oread 15, passed to Trego in the end zone Woody again caught the extra point pass from the accurate Porter.
Campus organizations requesting appropriations from the All Student Council for the coming year should obtain application blanks from Lyle Anderson, chairman of the committee on finance, and return them before Friday, Oct. 10.
This time it wasn't even close. Al, the direction of decision to Gavilan by a wide margin.
An organization may request an appropriation later, Anderson said, but the committee wants to consider as many of the organizations as possible when it adopts its annual budget.

Intramural Officials Prepare For Rugged Season of Play
By CHUCK ZUEGNER
The lot of a student official for intramural touch football games is not an easy one.
The scholarly referees, umpires, and linesmen are recruited from Officiating I, a physical education course designed to acquaint the students with the techniques of officiating football, soccer, speedball, and basketball, and a study of the rules of each sport.
During the semester, students are
During the semester, students at required to officiate in a minimum of 24 intramural games. It's laboratory work without the apron.
Because the classes can't supply enough students for the heavy intramural schedule, other students

Bill Wade, college sophomore signed a St. Louis Cardinal contract Sunday with Cardinal Scout "Runt" Marr.
He has been assigned to the Class D Paducah (Ky.) farm club and will report in the spring as soon as school is out.
he hopes to work out with the University baseball team next spring if he can get the consent of Kansas Coach Hub Ulrich.
Marr said it would be better if Wade could go to spring training with the rest of the players, but that the Cardinal organization didn't try to discourage anyone from going to school.
He said that each individual's chances of sticking with a team are slim. He explained that for this reason, his organization wanted its players to go ahead with their education—if they were already in school—so they would have it to fall back on if they don't make good.
Wade, a lefthander, played first base for the Turner Merchants last summer as they won the Bonner Springs Night league championship. He began the season hitting sixth in the lineup. Then he moved up to fifth and finally wound up the season hitting cleanup. He hit .305 for the season.
A neurology laboratory manual written by Dr. Paul Roofe, chairman of the anatomy department, will be published next week by H. M. Ives and sons of Topeka.
The manual, "A Laboratory Guide to the Study of the Human Nervous System," approaches the subject from a concept of levels of integration, Dr. Roofe said.

are encouraged to volunteer their services. Besides the 25 students enrolled in the course, two other students have applied for officials' jobs.
They are paid one dollar per game for their services. The dollar is hazardous duty pay.
But the amateur official generally is too intent on the play to bother about where it's going. It's liable to go right over him.
An official's work isn't limited to watching for rule infractions. For his own safety, he's got to keep out of the way. Professional officials are trained in this technique and seldom get caught.
He's also got to be careful what fouls he calls and against whom. An off-side penalty called on a player who owes him a fiver might mean the end of the debt.
For peace in the barracks it's always best to go easy on one's roommate. Call it favoritism if you like—it's just common sense.
When the touch football season is over, basketball begins bringing in new dangers for the student officials. No snap course here.
