Kansas In Good Shape For Saturday's Game
Kansas will commence a three-week absence from Big Seven competition with the Loyola of Los Angeles game here Saturday. Kickoff time will be 2 p.m. at Memorial stadium.
By CHARLEY BURCH
Three members of the Big Seven engage non-conference foes this Saturday while the others tussle among themselves.
KU, Colorado K-State Meet Non-Loop Foes
The Kansas Jayhawks, with a season's record of five victories and two losses, will take on the pass-happy Loyla Lions at Lawrence. A long show is expected as both teams will keep the airplanes filled with passes.
The playing field and stadium have been covered this week with a heavy layer of snow. Workmen are busily clearing the field and should have the job completed in time for a short outdoor practice session today.
The mighty Oklahoma Sooners will play Don Faurot's Missouri Tigers at snow-covered Columbia. The Missourians have been unable to practice outside this week, holding limited workouts in the school's fieldhouse.
Both teams are free from injuries Oklahoma's Bill Vessels, however may not be able to play as his injured knee is still stiff after being in a cast for several weeks.
Nebraska coach Pill Glassford has dropped seven varsity, men to the "B" team and will take his "36 best players" to Ames, Iowa.
The Iowa State team has been working long and hard this week with Coach Abe Stuber having the lights turned on for one practice session.
End Bob Voetherd will be ready for the Nebraska game. He has been absent from the I-State lineup because of an injured knee.
Iowa State is picked to win over the hapless Huskers, who have yet to win a game this season. Nebraska will give the Cyclones a rough battle. If they can get past their second quarter jinx, they might come up with a victory.
Tulsa's strong team is second in the nation in total offense and isn't expected to slow down against K-State.
The Wildcats will leave three men home with injuries including their defensive star, Vervil Switzer.
Coach Meek has been concentrating upon the "furmentals" this week after a weak showing against the Sooners.
Weather has also hampered Colorado's practice this week but the Buffs should be operating smooth enough to down Utah at Roulder.
Coach Dal Ward has been sharpening his team's pass defense in an effort to stop the Utes Tom Dubuiski. He has completed 83 passes for 837 yards to rate fourth in the country.

$ \triangleright $ Charlie Hoag, the Oak Park speedster, will start the game in his halfback slot. He saw considerable action in last week's game with Nebraska but he hasn't taken any chances in practice this week of re-injuring his bothersome muscle.
Last week's game with Nebraska saw Hoag in a different role when he tossed two touchdown passes. A wide open passing game Saturday could place him in a similar position.
Hugh Armstrong, sophomore guard, has been moved up to the first string by Coach J. V. Sikes and will start against the Lions. He replaces Bob Hantla, who is bothered with a wrenched knee.

Hantia, a spirited sophomore, may see limited action if his knee continues to improve.
Morris Kay has been practicing at the linebacker position and will receive the starting nod Saturday from Coach Sikes.
Coach Jordan Oliver and his Lions will arrive in Kansas City, Kan. late this afternoon and will make their headquarters at the Town House hotel.
Slinging Don Klosterman and company will come the remaining distance about noon Saturday.
The Lions air-minded are currently riding a two game winning stalk raising their season's record to three victories against four losses.
Their wins have been over San Diego. 42-28; San Jose, 13-12, and over Pepperdine 46-7 last week. They have been defeated by College of Pacific. 41-28; Florida, 40-7, and Santa Clara. 20-16.
Three KU Stars Named

Jayhawkers that were named are Oliver Spencer, offensive tackle. George Kennard, offensive guard, and John Konek, defensive and offensive halfback.
Kansas State's star safety, Veryl Switzer, also was named to the list
Montana State's star safety, Verny Switzer, also was named to the list. The additions bring the list to 126 players from throughout the nation who are regarded by the board of 11 nominators as being eligible for first and second team honors at the end of the season.
Sixteen teams from high schools all over Kansas will compete at 11 a.m. Saturday in the fourth University of Kansas two-mile cross country run, to be held near Memorial stadium.

The class "B" teams hold their two-mile competition at 10:30, and will be followed immediately by the "A" class teams.
The meet, sanctioned by the Kansas High School Athletic Association is divided into two classifications. An "A" class for schools with enrollment of 150 or more—and a "B" class for schools with an enrollment of less than 150.
All trackmen and their coaches will be guests of the KU athletic association at the Javhawk-Loyola football game at 2 o'clock Saturday
Coach Bill Easton, who's University of Kansas track team is now unbeaten in 18 straight two-mile meets, is solidly behind this high school meet. "This fall competition does much to improve and stimulate track interest in our state," he said.
Easton is now working with the winner of the past year's two mile meet, Charles Crook-a Topeka product and now a freshman at the University.
Berra Voted Top Player
New York —(U.P.)— Catcher Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees, the butt of countless dugout jokes, had the last laugh today when he was voted the American league's most valuable player for 1951 by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Drake Plays Wichita Without Star Back
The squat, homely but heavy-hitting catcher won the coveted award after a close battle with 20-game winner Ned Gerver of the last-place St. Louis Browns and team-mate Allie Reynolds. All three received six first-place votes but Berra was named on 23 of the 24 ballots while Garver was named on 20 and Reynolds on only 12.
By the ASSOCIATED PRESS
Berra is the first American league catcher to win the award since Mickey Cochrane in 1934. Catcher Roy Campanella of the Brooklyn Dodgers was named the National league's most valuable player a week ago so for the first time in history catchers won the awards in both leagues.
Whatever Drake does in its finale against Wichita in the Missouri Valley conference tomorrow, it'll do without Johnny Bryant, one of intercollegiate football's all _ time dazzlers.
But Drake's Bakers have a lot of confidence in Coach Warren Gaer, last year's valley "coach of the year." Iowans think he may win that recognition again this season.
A Drake win would give the Bulldogs a final 3-1 mark in the Valley. Their only loss so far came when Oklahoma A&M turned the trick in the game that saw Bright suffer a broken jaw, the injury that cut short his career.
The Oklahoma Aggies will rest tomorrow, but there is plenty of action for other valley teams, all
non-conference except the Drape
Wichita game at Wichita.
Bradley, through in the conference, will meet Toledo in a night game at Toledo, Tulsa, leading the Valley with a perfect 3-0 record, will engage Kansas State at Tulsa, Houston will meet Louisville there and Detroit's problem will be strong Villanova at Philadelphia.
With the Oklahoma Aggies already out of the way, Tulsa appeared a sure-thing today to retain its Missouri Valley championship. Its final conference game won't come until Dec. 8 when the Golden Hurricane ends an 11-game season in a meeting with Detroit at Tulsa.
