Frosh to Run Offense In Today's Scrimmage
The Varsity may be somewhat low on power for the weekend tussle because of injuries. Seven Jayhawkers—four of them offensive and defensive regulars—were put temporarily out of action in Saturday's Texas Christian game.
Jayhawker freshman footballers will take another fling at the Varsity squad this afternoon—this time running offensive plays after a bruising session Tuesday in which they played only defense against the offensive thrusts of the "big boys."
The Frost-Varsity workouts are part of a heavy-duty workout schedule in preparation for the Santa Clara Broncos Saturday.
The Colorado game, Oct. 4, is the earliest possible date offensive end Jerry Bogue can get back into action. He was injured when he was hit hard as he caught a pass for 13 yards from quarterback Gil Reich in the TCU game.
Galen Fiss, 209-pound fullback, is on the doubtful list with a twisted knee, and Reich, who threw two touchdowns psses in Saturday's game, had a badly-bruised left shoulder but probably will be ready to go Saturday.
Don Bracelin, sophomore defensive end, has a twisted knee, but, along with Reich, should be ready for the Santa Clarans.
Defensive guard Bob Hantla has been hospitalized after suffering from the flu, but is expected play Saturday also. Knee injuries are also bothering quarterback Dick Sandifer and fullback Ken Harper, both sophomore reserves and may put them out another week.
Junior Jerry Taylor, with the help of Duane Unruh and Harold Patterson, is slated to fill the injured Bogue's position.
In Tuesday's workouts, Hught Armstrong, junior letterman at guard, cut his upper lip and quarterback Jack Rodgers was carried from the practice field with a possible knee or ankle injury.
Guard George Helmstadter received an injury when a thumb was poked in his eye during the scrimmage.
Senior Guard Dick Rossman and sophomore fullback Marvin Kinnett may spell Fiss if he is unable to perform Saturday.
Father Time Kayoed Walcott To Score Delayed Victory
Philadelphia—(U.P.)—Jersey Joe Walcott joined boxing's legion of the past today.
Gallantly courageous to the end, the old man of mysterious years finally bowed to the shackles of time last night, when he joined the list of humbled ancients who stretch from Bob Fitzsimmons to Joe Louis.
It will read, in the record books, that he fell before the shocking blows of Rocky Marciano. But the story was in the decade—and may be more—which he spotted the Brockton Blockbuster.
Marciano did and—until that punch slipped past Old Joe's time bound muscles—so did the creeping ancient. They poured it on, and both of them were covered with the spray of living blood.
Old Joe was almost even at the end of 12 rounds under the chilly black skies which blanketed his ring requiem. Then Father Time finally caught up with those reflexes which for so long had eluded his grasp. It was those wild, freely-thrown punches powered by the resilience of youth which Old Joe just couldn't dodge any more.
Up to that point, it had been a battle to warm the cockles of a roaring Irishman's heart. John L. Sullivan, another New Englander who brawled in the Marciano manner, would have gloried in it.
Then Joe's arms, wearied by the years as much as by the drain of powering his punches, just couldn't cover the vital spots any more. They had done a magnificent job that far—and for 22 hectic years before in ring frays of which there are no actual count.
Six times he had deserted the ring through those years, and always he had come back with hope burning like a flame in his heart.
"I don't know what he hit me with," he sobbed in the gloom of his dressing room. "But he did hurt me whenever he hit me, and wherever he hit me."
Four times he lost when he challenged for the title, and then he made it at last. It was a thing of vast pride to Old Joe, who admitted to 38 years but may be as much as 44.
Old Joe's shoulders slumped. His hands lay listlessly in his lap, and there was a grim bleak despair in his eyes clotted by tears which
Bums Clinch National Flag; Yankees Near AL Pennant
New York—(U.P.)-Charley Dressen nursed a victory highball after lifting it high in toast to his Brooklyn Dodgers today and then added a special tribute-"to Joe Black."
"Without him we couldn't have done it," he said. "He made the big difference."
The situation was reminiscent of 1947 when another manager toasted another Joe—and it was remarkably parallel. That was when Bucky Harris of the Yankees lifted his after-game drink to Joe Page, who like Black was a fireball relief pitcher delegated to the saving of victory after victory.
Dates in November will be set for the class tournament that will not conflict with any of the regular intramural tournaments.
"This is the first time we have held a class intramural football tournament," Walter Mikols, director of men's intramurals said, "and we hope that each class will strive for the coveted class championship."
Highlighting the 1952 intramural football season will be a class tournament in the middle of November.
Dressen, quiet and in no search of revelry after the pennant-clinching decision over the Phillies, sat in his dressing cubicle long after the draggy doubleheader and talked nothing but baseball.
All-Stars Chosen From I-M Play
"This was an amazing year and we had an amazing team without a 20-game winner and with Black the
Outstanding players who participate in the regular, intramural program will be chosen by a member of their respective class to play on an "All Star" team composed of members from their class.
"I didn't run out of gas," he muttered. "Well, I don't think I did. I just got caught. It could happen to anybody."
bubbled from under the lids.
Numerous scouts will be chosen by the class presidents on the hill. It will be the scout's job to follow the regular intramural games and pick out the best men. The fellows who are chosen will be informed in time to organize and prepare an offense.
It could. Because Marciano throws a punch which if it lands could cool a steer. But they were the kind of roundhouse punches which a younger jaw would have slipped like a master matador teasing an inept bull. They told Joe then that his manager, Felix Bocchicchio, had said he was through.
But he went over to the dapper little manager and pleaded, "Please, Felix, let's talk it over again tomorrow."
"Felix brought me this far, and if he says I quit, I guess I quit," Joe mumbled.
"I didn't run out of gas, Felix, honest I didn't," Joe said in that same pleading tone.
"Okay, Joe. Okay," Felix said, natting Joe on the shoulders.

only 15 game man," he said. "But this time we showed we had it in the clutch and I think we'll also have it in the clutch in the World Series—against the Yankees or the Indians."
Dressen hedged a little from his earlier plans and acting like a man who suddenly had struck oil in about three localities at once, said that "Tve got plenty of pitchers for the Series."
when they took the title in Phila-
lephia on the last day of the seas-
on in 1949.
"I think I can say definitely that for the first game it will be Joe Black, Carl Erskine, or Preacher Roe," he said—very definitely.
The Dodgers gained their first flag since 1949 and their sixth in the modern National league history, when they topped the Phils, 5 to 4, in a first game thriller last night in which Duke Snider significantly doubled home the two winning runs. For it was Snider who drove home their "pennant" run
The Dodgers, who couldn't uncork their champagne in earnest until after the second game of the double bill, had to battle 12 innings before losing a 1 to 0 anti-climax decision to lefty Curt Simmons. The game was important to the Phils, who are batting for third place.
In the American league, the Yankees were rained out and the Indians were almost closed out in the battle for the flag when they blew a 10 to 1 decision to the White Sox.
Cleveland now is 1 and one-half games behind the Yankees, who play two in Boston today, and has only three more to play.
The Athletics, battling the White Sox for third place, topped the Senators, 4 to 3, but lost their great little lefty, Bobby Shantz, when his wrist was broken when he was struck by a pitched ball.
