Oklahoma Game Movies At 8:30 p.m. In Strong
"Mistakes will happen" was one of the more considerate comments made Tuesday night by disappointed students who trooped up three flights of stairs in Strong hall to see movies of the KU-OU football game—only to find that a mistake had been made in "Along The Javhawker Trail" column on the sports page Tuesday.
The movies will be shown tonight. Not last night as claimed by Don Sarten, The Daily Kansan sports editor. A hasty call to Dutch Lonborg Tuesday requested only the time—not the place, which was “taken for granted” since it's at Strong that the movies have been shown in the past, Sarten said.
Lonborg responded with the time that the movies would be shown—at the Quarterback club downtown. Tonight they are definitely to be shown at 8 p.m. in Strong auditorium.

This'n That; Here'n There
Boston—(U.P.)—Tempermental Ted Williams' future with the Boston Red Sox was the big question as Lou Boudreau took over the team's management.
Boudreau, former Cleveland Indians player-manager, let it be known in no uncertain terms that he was boss and there would be no "untouchables" on the Red Sox.
The 34-year-old Boudreau, a likable gent but with a fierce passion for winning, said flatly:
'FIX' HORSES TOO
"I'll trade anyone on the club, including Williams, if it will add to the team. Ted won't be traded for nothing, nor will any other player. Any trade we may make will be value for value."

REDUCE PLAYER'S SALARY
Washington — (U,P)— The House subcommittee took Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio down a peg—about 10,000 financial pegs, to be exact.
The "come-down" came about when congressional baseball investigators revealed that the top salary paid to any player in 1951 was $90,000. Williams, the 33-year-old Red Sox star, generally was reported to have received $100,000 the past season as was DiMaggio, the 36-year-old Yankee veteran.
SCRIBES FAVOR MONOPOLY
Washington — (U.P.)— Congressional investigators reported Tuesday that a poll of baseball writers showed 3 out of 4 believe baseball should enjoy monopoly rights over televising ball games.
TCU IN 'TOUGHIE'
Fort Worth, Tex.-The new-hot, now-cold T.C.U. football forces draw another rugged assignment this week. The Christians, still tingling on their 20-14 conquest of the Texas Aggies, invade the West Coast this week-end for a go at the powerful Trojans of Southern California
EXPECT BRIGHT TO PLAY
Ames, Iowa-Iowa State turns from its Big Seven schedule this week to face Drake in the only contest of the year pitting major Iowa colleges against each other.
Cyclone coaches and players alike figure that John Bright, Drake's top ball carrier, will be in action Saturday. They all point out that Paul Shupe, Chariton sophomore, played against Wayne the same week he broke his jaw.
Blueprint Makes Imprint
Fort Worth, Texas—U(P)—A flying blueprint sent Mrs. J. L. Wren Jr., home from a downtown shopping trip with a badly bruised leg. The teeprint, tacked to a piece of waverboard, fell from the 11th floor of a building under construction and hit Mrs. Wren on the knee.
But the one we'd like to pass on for what it's worth was, "Do you suppose that the movies could be shown over in Hoch auditorium? We hesitated about coming tonight at all. It was so darn crowded the last time we were here—when they showed the TCU game."
mainly, "get your facts," were: "Oh, fine! Great! That's the Kansan for you... Suppose you could get the time right for tomorrow night? Good old Kansan. Mistakes happen. That's O.K."
And one sweating student came up with, "I bumped four cars getting parked, ran all the way from the basement, and you stand there and tell me there's no movie? I'll kill ya!"
Matson Tabbed As Nation's Top Backfield Star
New York — (U.P.) - Tabbing San Francisco's Ollie Matson as the best collegiate back in the nation, Coach Joe Kuharich credited his Matson-motored ground game with keeping the Dons unbeaten while the national accent on passing was causing a flood of upsets.
"You must have a fundamental ground game or you're in for trouble," explained curly-haired Joe, a former Notre Dame and Chicago Cardinal guard who early learned the value of running over them.
"That's the big reason for most of the so-called upsets this season," he added. "Most teams have emphasized passing in their attack almost to the exclusion of a sound running attack. The answer is that when their passer has a hot day they can win. But when the passer is off—that's all, brother. So they're up one week and down the next."
Kuharich, who has the runner in Matson to plan a balanced attack, pointed to the Southwest Conference as a perfect example of in-and-out football.
"Look at SMU," he argued,
"Against Notre Dame, SMU's Free Benners had a perfect day. He couldn't miss. SMU won. Last week end against Rice, Benners couldn't hit. They lost. And simply because they didn't have the ground game to go back to."
While NYU's Hughie Devore intervened to point out that ever-improving sophomores, suddenly hitting their stride, contribute to the upsets, Kuharir turned back to his favorite subject-Matson.
Matson, a 210-pounder, has speed. As a schoolboy in 1948 he chased Herb McKenley to a 440-yard world record of 46 seconds. Ollie was clocked in 47.1. He has run the 100 in 9.6 seconds and just missed making the last Olympic team in the 400-meter dash, finishing fourth with three selected.
"Matson is as good as any back I've ever seen," stated the man who has watched Marchie Schwartz, Joe Savoldi, George McAfee, Doc Blanchard, Glenn Davis, Tom Harmon and just about every fine back of the past quarter century.

MacPhail To Explain Baseball 'Monopoly'
Washington—(U.P.)—Larry MacPhail, out of baseball since he sold the New York Yankees after the 1947 World Series, came out of the stables today to tell House baseball investigators about his 1946 report calling the game a monopoly.
MacPhail, now a Bel Air, Md., horse breeder, was the last witness scheduled before the House monopoly subcommittee goes into a closed huddle with baseball lawyers on possible legislation to give the game some exemption from anti-trust laws.
The subcommittee was interested in a report MacPhail drafted for the 1946 meeting of baseball's steering committee, in which he said big league ball is a monopoly and its reserve clause could not stand up in court.
K-State Grid Rivalry Renewed On Saturday
It'll be "Dad's Day" in Memorial stadium this Saturday when the University of Kansas plays Kansas State in an annual renewal of age-old rivalry.
Athletic department officials announced that fathers and sponsors of Jayhawk players will sit in a body on the field and wear the number of the boys they represent.
Young Bill Meek, the 30-year-old boss at Kansas State, and his green crop of playing material, have come a long way—already this year.
Batting a good 666 with two wins in three starts, the "Bees" will be up against a team—about which they know little. The south-of-the-border boys defeated Tulsa's reserves 9 to 7.
Hub Ulrich's Jayhawker "Bees" return to grid competition Thursday, when they travel to Norman, Okla., for a game with the Sooner Bee club.
Plenty of action by their offspring is in store, since all reports from K-State have the Wildcats enjoying favorable comment from all sides.
Since then the "Bees" have cured an early case of fumble-itis" that they could have inherited—and roared over Iowa State and Baker university.
Plunging into a rugged schedule late in Sept., they've since gained the admiration of the entire state with standout defensive performa-
And they have an offense rapidly being built around Veryl Switzer. Switzer was originally consigned to a defensive post, because of his "vicious" tackling, but in the last game or two, has played on offense, too.
Kansas, on the other hand, got its "bad one" out of the way early. They lost to Missouri 20-13 Sept. 21. And at that the Jayhawks led 13-6 until the last two minutes. The "show-me" lads "showed 'em" in that 120 seconds, knocking out points at the rate of seven per minute.

But most of his squad is intact. For the first time this year, George Mrkonic is out with some loosened teeth, and Frank Cindrich has an ankle injury, but both will be ready for K-State.
In the meantime, Coach J. V. Sikes has had to fight the weather all week. Biting cold and a wet field have hampered practice continually.
Galen Fiss may be ready, but still termed a "doubtful" starter. He's been out with a knee injury for weeks and won't be in top physical condition.
On the cheerful side, Charlie Hoag may enter the fracas this Saturday in the best physical condition he's enjoyed since his injury in the TCU game early in the season.
Jerry Robertson has vaulted loftily into the Big Seven aerial lead with 522 yards and five touchdowns in 22 completions. Having thrown 38 times his bulls-eye percentage is .552.
