Jayhawks Face Nation's Best Passer Saturday
Following the practice session, Wayne Replogle, end coach, gave the squad a report on the Cowpokes. He has scouted them several times this season and reports that their team is greatly improved over last year's.
The Jayhawks will be facing a great passer for the second straight week when they play the Oklahoma A&M Cowpokes at Stillwater Saturday.
A&M's Don Babers, a sophomore aerial artist, has led the nation's passers for several weeks. He was surpassed Nov. 3 by Don Klosterman, brilliant Loyola star, while the Cowpokes were enjoying an open date.
Coach J. V. Sikes' staff was in charge of the practice as he has been called to Greenville, Texas by the door of his mother-in-law, Mrs. H. Nix. He is expected to return Wednesday.
Their record in the Missouri Valley conference is three wins and a lone defeat to Tulsa. The Cowpokes, however, have lost three non-conference games.
Light workouts lasted about an hour Monday • night for the Jayhawks as they ran through offensive and defensive maneuvers without their pads.
Their scoring attack has been spearheaded by Babers. He was injured while playing against Tulaa Nov. 3, but will be ready to give the Jayhawks a rough air attack Saturday.
The Cowpokes operate from the T-formation but have been changing to a spread formation in several games.
Coach Replogie pointed out that Babers, who weighs 185 pounds, is also a fairly good runner and can be expected to do something besides throw the ball against Kansas.
Hog, who picked up 120 yards against the Lions, is bothered again with his troublesome groin muscle and was unable to workout Monday night. He is definitely on Saturday's doubtful list.
KU's team came through the Loyola game free from injuries with the exception of Charlie Hoag and Oliver Spencer.
Dean Seeman, a sophomore half-book, is also a good ground gainer J. Joach J. B. Whitworth's Cow-pokes.
Spencer suffered a cut on his lower lip but it shouldn't slow down the big hustling tackle.
It's all kind of confusing! Wes Santee has been consistently trimming time off the two-mile run, yet the Daily Kansan reads that no new records have been set.
Track Details Cause Mixup
Coach Bill Easton explains that official conference records can be established only at the annual all-conference meets. The fall competition is also entirely separate than that in the spring with different records being kept.
The situation has been perplexing to sports writers all fall with "Santee Sets Conference Record," appearing in newspapers most every week.
Allen Frame, individual winner of the cross country two-mile run here last Saturday, is a student at Wichita East High school and not at El-Dowdo as Monday's Daily Kansan reported.
Well, this week Santee, Semper and the other fine KU runners will have their opportunity to break records as the annual Big Seven two-mile run will be here Saturday.
Wichita Runner Wins 2-Mile Race
The EL Dorado High school team won the class "A" division of the meet with Garden City second.
HERB SEMPER is shown working out in preparation for Saturday's Big 7 two-mile track meet. KU will be striving for its fifth straight sweep. Led this year by sophomore Wes Santee, the Jayhawks have a better than even chance of winning. Semper won last year as KU tied all-time low team score with a 19.
KUDefends Two-Mile Laurels In Big Seven Meet Saturday
The University of Kansas will be trying for its fifth straight Big Seven conference championship this Saturday in Memorial stadium.
The Jayhawks, led this year by sophomore Wes Santee, have stretched an unbeaten string of two-mile victories to 19.
Herb Semper, winner of the past year's meet, has trailed Santee in
Cleveland—(U.P.)-The Cleveland Brown will be banking on Otto Graham's arm and Lou Groza's toe when they meet the New York Giants Sunday in the Polo grounds in a game that will foretell the leadership of the eastern division of the National Football league.
_Groza kicked two perfect conversions in the first Giants game while New York's Ray Poole missed one to give Cleveland its victory, and against the Eagles, Groza's 14-yard final period field goal was the game saver.
Graham, who threw two first period touchdown passes to defeat the Giants here Oct. 28 by a 14-13 score, pitched a pair of last half scoring passes Sunday as the Browns shaded the Philadelphia Eagles 20-17.

every race to date—this year. Semper's time for the two-mile in 1950 was 9:19.8.
John Munski, Missouri, circled the eight-lap oval in 1938 in 9:17.5 for a record that is still standing.
So the Brown's will again be relying on "the arm," and "the toe," as they meet the Giants, a team which in less than two years has developed into the fiercest rival of the perennial pro champs.
In 1947-48-49 Robert Karnes won for Kansas. And in '48 Kansas won by a record low score of 19.
Coach Bill Easton, solidly behind the two-mile fall events as the best possible body conditioners for spring competition, thinks this year's race will be the best in the meet's history.
Kansas tied the record low score of 19 with Semer in 1950.
Santee has established himself as the man to beat in Big 7 competition. The KU thinlaced was clocked at 9:07.2 week at Norman in a dual meet with the University of Oklahoma.
The New York Yankees's phenomenal batting rookie, young Mickey Mantle, arrived on the campus last night.

He is here to talk to Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen and will probably this afternoon.
Coach Allen Woolard accompanied the big leaguer. Woolard was Mantle's high school coach in Commerce.
Maryland Coach Defends His Players And The Game
New York—U.J.P.—When a college football coach rises up in defense of his game, some snide observers hint that he is simply protecting his pocketbook but Jim Tatum was ready today to go to the mat with anybody who derided his undefeated Maryland eleven.
Whether it be on the gridiron or in the classroom, Tatum thinks his lades are tops and—aiming at a post-season bowl game as a reward for their sterling play this season—he lets the chips fall where they will.
The burly South Carolina made this clear as he attacked "Those who are trying to ruin the game" and made a general all-around defense of the sport in which he starred at North Carolina and has coached successfully at Oklahoma and Maryland.
Inviting any interested parties to investigate football at Maryland any time, Tatum blamed his brother coaches for loose talk when they lose good material to rivals and insisted that:
Investigations at Virginia and Georgia Tech proved nothing wrong with football at those schools; bowl

games did not cause loss of classes; football players lost less study time than students working their way through college in other ways; more football players graduate than do baseball players, revealed, proudly, that of his 22 two platoon starters 19 were Air ROTC students who had to have good grades.
"There is no criticism of college baseball, maybe because there isn't a matter of gate receipts involved," Tatum explained.
