Hoag Rejoins Team In Heavy Workouts
The Jayhawkers went through their first contact workout in several days last night with Charlie Hoag putting on pads and joining the team in the heavy work.
It was the first time since the Oklahoma A&M game that Hoag has worked out in pads. He has been running and going through light workouts in sweat clothes in an effort to rid himself of his bothersome groin injury.
A break down scrimmage on defense started the practice session which also included punting and extra point kicking under game conditions.
Don Mudloff, freshman guard from Chicago, joined Bill Schaake on the "doubtful" list for Saturday. Mudloff is being bothered with a bruised side which may keep him out of Saturday's game.
George Michale, sophomore end, won't be available for any action in the Homecoming tilt as his injured ankle is still bothering him.
Today's practice session will be spent mostly on passing, both of intensively and defensively, with another scrimmage also planned.
Over at Mizzou Coach Don Faurot is working hard to get his defense ready. He has been forced to dig deeply into his "B" team and has come up with Tom Fitzgerald, a fullback who hasn't seen any varsity action.
Faurot is expected to call on Jim

Gator Bowl president Sam Wolfson said he had been informed by Dr. Lee Milford, chairman of the athletic council of Clemson, that after a poll of Southern conference colleges Clemson was denied permission to participate in any bowl game.

New York—(J.P.)—Eleven college seniors—three each from the Midwest and South, two each from the far West and Southwest and one from the East—were selected today on the 1951 United Press All-America football team.

Center-Dick Hightower, Southern Methodist
Backs--Dick Kazmaier, Princecon:
Johnny Karras, Illinois; Vito
Parilli, Kentucky and Hank Lauricella,
Tennessee.
Three of them—McColl, Richter and Weatherall—are repeaters from the 1950 United Press All-America team. They along with back Vic Janowicz of Ohio State, were the only juniors selected in last year's all-America. Janowicz, hampered by injuries early this year, won a berth on the second team.

Second in the point scoring was McColl, with 2,274 points.
The closest battles were for the first team guard spot opposite Richter and the fourth man in the backfield. Ward beat out Pat Cannamela, Southern California's ace linebacker, for the guard berth by 357 points while Lauricella won the fourth spot in the backfield over Johnny Bright, Drake's negro star, by 378 points.
A feature of this year's balloting was the fact that no Army player received a single vote. It marked the first time in 10 years than Army did not win at least one position on the United Press All-America team.
Four of the five major undefeated teams won berths on the 1951 All-Star eleven with Michigan State the only school to place two players. Tennessee, the Nation's No. 1 team; Maryland and Princeton each placed one man. San Francisco, the other undefeated, united major eleven, placed Ollie Matson on the second team.
Drake Quits League Over Bright Incident
Des Moines—(U.P.)—Drake university today spurred pleas to reconsider its registration from the Missouri Valley conference—and it appeared Bradley also would quit because the league took action in the slugging of Negro star Johnny Bright.
Drake quit the conference and severed relations with Oklahoma A&M last night over the Bright slugging. Oklahoma A&M apologized for the incident in the Oct. 20 football game, but Drake demanded league action and didn't get it.
Conference commissioner Artie Eilers asked Drake officials to reconsider its drastic move, but the school's athletic chairman, Frank Gardner, said, "Our minds are made up. So far as we are concerned, the thing is closed."
In Peoria, Ill., Bradley president David Blair Owen said he wants his school to pull out of the league, too.
"I personally feel that Bradley will follow Drake's action very soon," he said, "But the final decision rests with out faculty athletic committee.
Drake charged that Oklahoma A&M tackle Wilbanks Smith smacked Bright deliberately early in the game and broke his jaw. The Aggies beat Drake and Bright was sidelined for the rest of the season except for the Great Lakes game where he performed brilliantly although playing with a special brace.
Bright, early this season broke the all-time ground gaining record held by Charlie (Choo Choo) Justice of North Carolina.
The Drake council said it quit the conference because of its "refusal to investigate the assault . . . failure of the conference to investigate the total situation surrounding the game . . . and refusal of the conference to take action in any way."
Gardner said the reference to the "total situation surrounding the game," stemmed from "campus and newspaper rumors." He said Drake officials protested the assignment of officials for the game as far back as August because the officials "all came from one section of the conference." Two came from Texas.
one from Oklahoma and one from Kansas, he said.
Henry Iba, athletic director at A&M said he had "absolutely no comment" to make on Drake's withdrawal. Aggie coach J. B. Whitworth could not be reached.
Owen said that any action to be taken by Bradley would not include cancellation of athletic relations with Oklahoma A&M.
