Aerial Battle Expected Between KU And Lions
Football fans will probably see the best aerial battle that has been staged in Memorial stadium in many a season when Loyola of Los Angeles meets the Jayhawks Saturday.
The Lions are the nation's top forward passing team and the Jayhawks are presently boasting the nation's seventh best pass defense record.
Loyola's air attack is spearheaded by its quarterback Don Klosterman, who is close on the necks of Oklahoma Bears, the current top college passer.
Klosterman has completed 49.3 percent of his passes for 1,252 yards. His favorite receiver is Fred Snyder, the right end who has taken 29 passes for 370 yards.
Kansas's pass defense this season has limited its opponents to 507 yards in seven games for an average of 72.4 vards.
Loyola's team was hit hard by graduation and is composed mainly of sophomores and juniors with only seven seniors on the squad.
Much of last night's practice was devoted to pass defense in preparation for Loyola's sharp passing attack. A defensive team composed mostly of varsity players practiced against plays used by the Lions. The plays were run og by the "B" team.
KU's Jerry Robertson will demonstrate the passing form which has made him one of the Big Seven's top tossers this season.
The Lions' ground attack is led by halfback Seeling Gunther, a junior who lettered last year.
Loyola's line is not to be completely overlooked, however. What it lacks in experience it makes up in bulk. Both the offensive and defensive line, exclusive of the ends, average about 218 pounds.
Public Wrong Coach Says
New York—(U.R.)—Target of an Ivy league whispering campaign, Penn-sylvania football coach George Munger has exploded that he is "tired of this de-emphasis business" as he scorned the public impression that football stars are classroom morons.
"It it seems necessary today to tell the public that football players go to classes and study just like anybody commented the red-haired mentor.
"I've heard people talk about Princeton, for instance." he added. "They say they have bought football players and don't have to go to classes. Despite all this loose talk, you simply can't play at a good school if you don't go to classes."
Munger made no mention of the reports that the Ivy league is turning a cold shoulder to Pennsylvania—whether because it has a strong team or because of a suspected taint in connection with the Quaker athletic plan. But his words were aimed straight at those critics, too.
And he took sharp issue with west coast planners, who have started a drive against spring football practice, by asserting that elimination of this tutoring period would increase proselytizing.
Television Now A Divorce Issue
Columbus, O. — (U.P.)—Television set ownership has become an issue in divorce squabbles in Columbus.
Judge Clayton W. Rose of the domestic relations court said couples used to argue about custody of autos, furniture, or the radio, but now the TV set is a point.
The judge cited one case where the woman took the set to her mother's home. The husband claimed it because he said he paid for it.
Where children are involved, Judge Rose said, the TV set goes to the one who is awarded custody of the youngsters. The divorced people lately are more interested in the television set than their other belongings, Judge Rose said.
The American Civil war provided the first large-scale for the use of free balloons in aerial reconnaissance.
Pro Teams Back To Single-Wing
For the first time since World War II, the T-attack in which the quarterback crouches behind the center hiding the ball from foe and fan, no longer is the offensive darling of the rugged pro league.
New York—(U.P.)-National football league fans are seeing less of the T-formation and more of the football this season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, a single-wing team, were the only non-T performers in the NFL several years ago but this season half the circuit's 12 teams are popping up with various kinds of single and double wing and spread formations.
Six of the teams—the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bearss, Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, Chicago Cardinals and San Francisco Forty-Niners—still dish up an almost exclusive T-formation diet every Sunday. But even the Forty-Niner's have a play on which the pass from center goes directly to a deep man in the backfield, usually YA tittle, and they used it to score a touchdown against the Rams last Sunday.
The rest of the teams have joined the Steelers in giving the fans, opponents and rival swipes some new looks at some old reliable formations this fall. So far, some of the coaches have shown just about everything except Notre Dame coach Frank Leahy's new "I" formation.
The Philadelphia Eagles have spiced their T-attack with some single wing plays and the Washington Redskins, under acting coach Dick Todd, have added quarterback Sammy Baugh's old favorite double wing setup to their regular T-formation offense.
The New York Yanks still have a basic T attack but have been picking up most of their yardage with Bob Celeri passing out of the deep position in what coach Jimmy Phelan calls a "double wing spread."
Unbeaten Vols Rated Top Team For 3rd Week
New York, (U.P.)—The United Press board of coaches named Tennessee's unbeaten powerhouse as the nation's top-ranked college football team for the third straight week today and awarded Stanford a place among the top ten for the first time this season.
Illinois barely edged Michigan State for second place; Southern California also had a slim margin over Maryland in the battle for fourth place, and Texas returned to the top ten after an absence of two weeks in other significant rankings of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the board.
Tennessee. 27-0 conqueror of North Carolina, Nov. 3, for its sixth victory of the season and its 16th straight over the past two years, attracted 20 first place votes and a total of 307 points in the weekly coaches' ballot.
Coach Bob Neyland's Volunteers thus topped the weekly listings for the fourth time this season. They led the first week, dropped back to second or third place while California took over for three straight weeks, and regained the No.1 ranking during the past three weeks.
Illinois (6-0) retained the runner-up spot with three first place votes and 233 points after beating Michigan, 7 to 0, for a two-point margin over third place Michigan State. The Spartans (6-0), who were idle last weekend, had six first place votes but received fewer points for succeeding places.
Southern California (7-1), which beat Army, 28-6, held fourth place with three first place votes and 222 points, while Maryland jumped one notch to fifth with one first place ballot and 220 points after making Missouri its sixth straight victim. 35-0.
Princeton, unbeaten in six games this season and in 19 straight since 1949, advanced two teams to sixth with one first place vote and 147 points. Following the Tigers came Georgia Tech, which dropped from fifth after being held to a 14-14 tie by Duke. The Engineers had 107 points.
Kansas, with five wins and two losses, tied Arkansas for ninth place in the second ten. Each team received six votes.
