Sikes Polishes Team For Homecoming Game
Work on defensive and offensive plays constituted Monday night's football practice as Coach J. V. Sikes continued to polish his team for its Homecoming tilt Saturday with Missouri.
All of the Jayhawker cripples were able to run through the dummy scrimmage except George Michale, sophomore end. He is still hampered by an injured ankle, a result of the Oklahoma A&M game.
Bud Laughlin, who is currently leading Big Seven scoring with 72 points, was still limping but managed to run through the plays. Bob Brandeberry and Dean Wells were running well and should be nearly in top form by Saturday.
Dr. M. E. Gross is still "doubtful" as to whether Bill Schaake will be able to see action against the Tigers. He was forced to sit at home with
Vols Expected To Be Selected Season's Best
New York—(U.P.)—Barring an upset defeat or poor showing against Vanderbilt in its final game Saturday, Tennessee will be acclaimed as the nation's No.1 college football team in 1951.
The 35 outstanding coaches who make up the United Press rating board made that clear today when they gave the undefeated Vols of Coach Robert Neyland a total of 334 out of a possible 350 points. It was the strongest showing made by any team in the ratings this season.
They gave Tennessee 26 first place votes, five seconds, two third, one fourth and one fifth—one of the few times this season that a single team has appeared on every coach's ballot. Points are scored on the basis of 10 for a first place vote, nine for a second and son on down to one for a 10th.
Michigan State remained in second place, getting six first place votes and a total of 308 points.
There were two changes in the top 10 from last week. Stanford, third a week ago, dropped to eighth place as the result of its defeat by California while Southern California, 10th last week, dropped down to a tie for 21st place after being beaten by UCLA.
The newcomer in the top 10 was Texas Christian, which did not receive a single vote a week ago.
With Stanford dropping five places, Maryland, Illinois, Princeton, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin each moved up one place from their ratings last week.

Engineering Office Has Christmas Spirit
For the first time in years the engineering office in Marvin hall has been decorated for the Christmas season with tinsel, red and green ropes and an electric angel.
When decorations are completed the office will have a Christmas tree, a large picture of a snow scene and mistletoe.
The office force responsible for these decorations were Mrs. Nellie Walter, Mrs. Maureen Straub, Mrs. Marilyn Gaugh and Miss Mary Smith.
an attack of glandular fever while his teammates were whipping Oklahoma A&M 27-7. His condition is improved and there's a good chance he will be back in the lineup.
Charlie Hoag also donned his sweat clothes and joined the squad in their non-contact workout.
Replacements at center have been cut one as Bud Roberts, junior from Kansas City, suffered an injury to his elbow while playing in the "B" team game with Missouri recently. The mishap has forced him to cut his season a week short.
Coach Sikes plans to run his charges through a defensive scrimmage this afternoon which will stress work against the spread formation. Missouri will probably come up against the Jayhawks with their spread which proved effective against Oklahoma.
Coach Don Faurot, however, may revert to his famous split-T if one of his more experienced quarterbacks is available.
The split-T proved effective against Kansas last year as the Tigers upset the favored Jayhawkers 20-6 in a frigid Thanksgiving day game at Columbia. The Show-Me team also was successful in 1949 and 1948 with scores of 34-28 and 21-7.
NAIBTourney To Be Dec.13
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-The National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) will officially inaugurate a new court season in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium with an eight-team tournament starting Dec. 13.
Heading the list of entries will be Hamline university of St. Paul, current NAIB champion, and Eastern Illinois of Charleston.
Others in the field will be Regis college of Denver; Southeastern Oklahoma (Oklaheim) State; Washburn of Topeka; Emporia State; Springfield (Missouri) State, and Kearney (Nebraska) State.
Only the Nebraska entry will be new to Kansas City court fans, as all other schools have appeared here before in the annual March tournament sponsored by the NAIB.
But Hamline will be the prohibitive choice to show the way next month as Joe Hutton, Piper coach, has all but one of the national championship squad back in uniform this season.
Among the Hamline stars are Lloyd Thorgaard and Jim Fritsche, forwards; Dave Jegna, center, and Bob Gussner, guard. A newcomer, Tom Richardson, an All-State performer from Gilbert, Minn., rounds out the first string at the other guard position.
Sparked by Tom Katsimipalis, whose scoring feats are well known to NAIB followers, and Norm Patberg, who led the nation last year in free-throw percentages, and Jimmy Johnson, a master floor man and excellent rebounder. Eastern Illinois will be a tough foe to get out of the holiday championship.
Oscar Haddorff, guard, who is recovering from injuries, may round into shape by tournament time and Hutton is looking for support from Paul Smaaagard, forward, Dick Shipe, center, and Henry Halverson, guard.

Ph. 428
Pittsburg State and Emporia State, which shared the CIC football championship this season, monopolized positions yesterday on the 1951 United Press All-Star team.
By UNITED PRESS
Pittsburgh placed four men on the first team and Emporia State grabbed three positions, as a result of balloting by sports writers, broadcasters, coaches and school officials.
Four Gorillas Picked By UP
The other four berths were shared by Fort Hays State and St. Benedict's. Southwestern and Washburn both were omitted from the first string selections.
For the Gorillas, honors went to End Tom Lester, Tackle Bernie Hays, Guard Bob Cougheneur, and Back Buddy Ball. Cougheneur was among the top ball in the votes received.
Pittsburgh State was sensational until injuries caught up with the team near the end of the season. For several weeks the Gorillas ranked among the nation's undefeated, unscored on squads.
Emporia State placed End Bob Jacquit, Center Myron Rode and Back Bob Sherrer. Rode was close to a unanimous choice.
Representing Fort Hays were Fullback Marion Schmidt and Tackle Frank Haas. St. Benedict's rounded out the first string with Guard Frank O'Malley, choice of virtually all who cast ballots, and Back Charlie Kelly.

Intramural Basketball To Start Following Christmas Vacation
CHICAGO COLLEGE OR OPTOMETRY
1845-H Larrabee Street
Chicago 14, Illinois
Intramural basketball isn't scheduled to start until after the Christmas holidays. But already members of some teams are working out in preparation for intramural competition this winter.
Up to now the gym has been just crowded, but intramural football wound up its season a week ago. Boys participating in that sport will be out en masse this week to take up basketball.
Figures from files, in the intramural office show that 140 teams competed the past year. Playing on various teams were 1,339 hoop happy students.
But they had the Robinson annex to handle the overflow from the main gym located on the second floor in Robinson. This year the annex is filled with 52 students who are using its facilities as a giant sleeping room.
All of which means that a wall of anguish is going to fill the air at any time, because there simply isn't enough room.
They are quartered in the building while awaiting completion of Stephenson hall. Work on Stephenson, scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving, won't be done now until after the "first of the year."
The situation, however, is being taken care of "as quickly as possible" according to L. C. Woodruff, dean of men.
Anticipating the inconvenience to the intramural program which is under the direction of Walter J. Mikols, Woodruff has completed arrangements to move the boys.
"By the end of this week we'll have them moved into Oread and McCook halls," Woodruff explained. "That way the intramural program should be able to get underway next week—or whenever Mikols is ready."
But this week students desiring a
place to practice better stake claims on outside courts—cause it crowded in the gym at night. Or better yet, because of the cold, hold off plans to begin practicing for one more week.
Last year 8,700 pedestrians were killed in automobile accidents 5,500 of them in urban areas and 3,200 in rural areas.
