Practice Slated Thru Vacation
University students start their Thanksgiving vacation late today but not the members of the Kansas football squad. They will continue to practice this week in preparation for their season's finale with Missouri here Dec. 1.
Coach J. V. Sikes sent his squid through a light, non-contact work-out Monday night but heavier practice is slated for tonight.
An intra-squad game is a possibility for Friday with the team taking Saturday off for a long weekend.
It will be the first Saturday that the Kansas team hasn't been scheduled to play since opening its season with Texas Christian university at Dallas Sept. 22.
Bob Brandeberry and Dean Wells, halfbacks, suffered the most serious injuries in the Oklahoma A&M game. Both were limping around today with injured ankles but are expected to be back in shape in plenty of time for the Homecoming tussle.
Tuesday, Nov. 20, 1951
Bud Laughlin, high scoring full-back, turned his ankle on the last play of the Aggie game but won't miss practice long.
Charlie Hoag, who saw only limited action against the Cowpokes should be in condition to see considerable action against the Tigers.
Old Rivals Hold Grid Spotlight
New York—(U.P.)—Back-yard feuds shove intersectional games into the background Saturday.
Important conference games and traditional rivalries headline the last full week of the college football program across the nation.
Only two conference titles already have been clinched. Stanford is the Pacific Coast conference champion and undoubtedly the West coast's Rose Bowl entry, while Wyoming has retained its title in the Skyline conference.
Illinois in the Big Ten, Princeton in the Ivy league and Oklahoma in the Big Seven have assured themselves of at least a tie for conference championships, but still must win one more game to clinch. Maryland and VMI are undefeated in the Southern conference race with one game each to be played.
Georgia Tech also needs one more victory for the Southeastern conference title and Tula must win its finale for the Missouri Valley crown. The Southwest conference race is still wide open with Texas Christian, Baylor, Rice and Texas in the running.
Such old traditional games as Ohio State-Michigan, Pennsylvania-Cornell, Stanford-California, Ten-Line-Kocher and Yale-Harvard dot the schedule.
Five of the six major unbeaten and untied teams play their final games. Maryland faces West Virginia, Michigan State takes on Colorado, Princeton meets Dartmouth, Stanford goes against California, and San Francisco meets Loyola. Tennessee, providing it gets past Kentucky in what shapes up as the game of the day, still must hurdle Vanderbilt to finish with a perfect record.
The Southwest conference race is by far the most intriguing, TCU and Rice, tied for the lead with 3-1 records, play Saturday while Baylor meets four-time-beaten SMU, Baylor, with the best overall record of the three, faces Rice in its final game. The combination of a Rice victory over TCU and a Baylor win over Rice is Baylor's hope. Otherwise, TCU appears to have the best chance.
Illinois will face dangerous but three - times-beaten Northwestern and would clinch the title over Wisconsin (4-1-1) with a victory. Oklahoma can clinch the Big Seven crown by beating the hapless Nebraska, Maryland must only get past West Virginia to clinch at least a tie for the southern conference, and Tulsa can lose the Missouri Valley title only by dropping its final game of the season to Detroit on Dec 8.

Fearless Fraley Picks Annual All-Americans
New York—(U.P.)-It's that time of the year, fellows, and before the man in the white coat shows up I'd like to get 2,153 pounds of beef off my chest—Fearless Fraley's 1951 All-American football team.
In kicking off, I'd like to say that old Fearless is completely qualified. I've seen pictures of everyone of them, some moving, and these lads were highly photogenic from a block and tackle standpoint.

The rest is hearsay, persuasive talk by publicity men, ear-bending by the office boy, vindictive speeches by beaten coaches, tabulated statistics, guesswork and personal cussedness.

Illinois must win or tie Saturday to get the conference crown and the bowl berth. A loss would give either Purdue or Wisconsin a chance to take both plums.
Purdue, which plays five conference games and has won three while losing one, could win the title and the bowl by beating Indiana while Illinois loses.
Wisconsin could win both by beating Minnesota while Illinois and Purdue both lose.
Second Team: Ends; Barker, Washington State, and McPhee.
Eliot undoubtedly feared Bob Voigt's Wildcats. Not since 1946, when Illinois won the conference championship and made the Big Ten's victorious debut in the Rose Bowl, has Illinois been able to beat Northwestern.
"Northwestern is a power-laden team," he said, "But if we can go into this game as an even game and not as the favorite, then we might have a chance."
Illinois Faces Northwestern
Chicago—(UP) — Unbeaten but tied Illinois gets its final examination for the Rose Bowl Saturday against Northwestern, a team that has flunked the Illini for four straight years, and coach Ray Eliot looked forward to the battle with trepidation.
"Td just like to point out that Northwestern beat Michigan 6 to 0 and we beat the same team 7 to 0." Eliot said. "And we tied Ohio State, 0 to 0, and they beat Northwestern, 3 to 0.
Princeton; Tackles, Pearman, Tennessee, and Toneff, Notre Dame; Guards, Daffer, Tennessee and Richter, California; Center, Boerio, Illinois; Backs, Isbell, Baylor; Kerkorian, Stanford; Agganis, Boston U.; and Matson, San Francisco.
The line may be regarded as a bit on the light side, averaging "only" 205 pounds. But it's fast, mobile and every one of them loves the going rough.
You can't kick with ends that go six four and six five, the "light" tackles and guards have cut many a bigger man down to size this season and Hightower is one of the best centers to come along in years, particularly adept backing up the line.
Maybe you've got some guys you think ought to be in the first team backfield, but old Fearless is sold on his quartet. Parilli holds three national passing records and his aerials have gained more yardage for Kentucky that the surveyors who laid out the state boundary lines.
Kazmairie is going to wind up as the top total yardage man in the nation this year and Lauricella, who also does everything but take tickets at the gate, has averaged 9.8 yards per carry. Karras, the Argo Express, has made the Illini forget Red Grange and Buddy Young.
There they are. Knock 'em down— if you can!

Chuck Taylor,'Fill-In Coach, Becomes Stanford Fans' Idol
New York—(U.P.) It took just five cents to get him started, but the way he's going enthusiastic students and alumni would like to give him a deed to all the gold in Fort Knox.
Lots of guys start on a shoestram but this one took the nickel and parlayed it with a burning desire to get an education. He would up as the star lineman of a perfect record Rose Bowl football team and now, 11 long years later, he is directing another one along the road toward that Pasadena post-season classic.
He's "lucky" Chuck Taylor, the 31-year-old boss of Stanford's unbeaten and untied Indians.
The job he has done is positively fantastic and he can't explain it beyond insisting that "Tm a fool for luck."
Taylor, youngest coach of a major eleven in the nation, gained the Stanford post after school officials failed in their quest for a big-time
"I'd have to be lucky to have gotten all the breaks that have come my way," he said. "And I'm lucky enough to think we'll be lucky enough to go on and finish the season undefeated."
coach with a reputation. He was supposed to be around mainly on a fillin basis.
Amazingly candid in a job where coaches talk in pessimistic platitudes, Taylor explained he knew how to keep the alumni happy.
"We'll just win all our games," he said with a tongue-in-cheek smile. And that is just what he has done
The parlay of luck began when he came to Stanford in a pair of patched pants and with only five cents to his name. It hit the climax Saturday when the Indians pounded out a 35 to 14 victory over mighty Oregon State and put themselves within just a step of clinching a Rose Bowl bid.
Where other kids would have complained about being broke in starting out to get an education, Taylor figures "I was lucky to have the nickel."
