Jayhawk Mentor Unhappy With Line; Working Furiously On Aerial Game
Tackle Weakness Biggest Worry
Keeping the air filled Wednesday afternoon with a vocabulary usually reserved for muleskimmers, head coach J. V. Sikes Iet anyone for blocks around know that his defensive units had "better wake up—and soon."
Offensively, in Wednesday's ocrimimage, all plays seemed to click, Jerry Bogue ran wild. Freshman Ray Feller ran well and evenook time to recover a fumble or two and run some more. Fullback Frank Sabatini fell into a halfback slot as though he'd worked there all his life.
And Jerry Robertson, like old man river, just kept on throwing strikes. All of which only added to Sikes'ire.
At one point the Jayhawk mentor stopped play completely and sarcastically asked a harried defensive squad, "You certain you have eleven men over there?"
Assured that there were, he allowed play to continue, but later told newsmen that "we're not blocking like we should, and we're terribly weak at tackle."
Charlie Hoag appears to be lost for the Iowa game. His grin injury, is still swollen and painful. When asked if he was able to run at all, he answered, "I haven't tried, so don't know, but it's sure sore."
BEAT IOWA!
Hoag's injury throws Saturday's probable mode of battle into sharp focus. With the Jayhawker star in virtual drydock, and no Wade Stinson in sight, K.U.'s running will not be at full gear for this Saturday's contest.
With a three touchdown start our club shows promise of developing long air lanes this year. By this token, the Iowans will be far more ary upstairs than was T.C.U., which planted its defense to halt the hilltoppers lancing ground power.
Although you won't see his name mentioned prominently in any pregame writeups, Frank Sabatini is capable of surprising. He's a small-sized fullback, but a big halfback. A position the hard hitting youth has been playing all week. He might be the ground game we're lacking without Hoag some observers said. Saturday's game will tell the story.
Duck the Cyclones Saturday!

WADE STINSON'S great running would be nice to have around this weekend. Coach J. V. Sikes has yet to find a back this year to fill the vacancy left by Stinson's graduation last spring.
KU Bees Action Slated For Friday
Once defeated Jayhawker Bees meet the undefeated Iowa Bees Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock in memorial Stadium.
The Maroon and White c l a d hilltopppers lost to Missouri in their opening game last week, 20-13.
Iowa, on the other hand, has defeated Graceland, (6-0) and Buena Vista. (13-12).
A hard workout Wednesday afternoon showed "much improvement" along teamwork lines, Coach Hub Ulrich admitted. Disorganization had ruined the Jayhawk Bees against Missouri. Going along with head coach Abe Stuber, Cyclone Bee coach Abe Lamson looks to K.U.'s junior varsity to be the real test for his team

Retains Crown Loses Respect
New York—(U.P.)-Two fistic fashion plates--featherweight champion Sandy Saddler and challenger Willie Pep--bounced to the center of the brilliantly-lighted ring at the polo grounds and the referee greeted them;
"Good evening, gentlemen."
It brought a mild chuckle from the crowd. But, as the fight developed, it was the greatest sports laugh since convalition John L. Sullivan tried to outsing Jenny Lind.
The referee, a fellow whose hair staved combed about 10 seconds after giving instructions, must have been fooled by the sartorial elegance of the two gladiators. Pep was dazzling in a red robe, blue towel and red socks. But Saddlier was positively glittering in, not one, but two smartly tailored plaid robes of red and blue.
In the second round, Pep went down from a combination thumb straightening and head butt. Then things got rough.
Gorgeous George would have gone back to raising turkies if he had been on hand to see the ensuing seven rounds.
First Sandy was on the floor, then Willie and then, s'help me, the referee.
The man in gray got his comedownance in the seventh and he was so irate that he walked indignantly to each judge at the end of the round and announced in a hoarse scream that he was taking the round away from Pep.
"For unnecessary roughness."
Fighting has sunk to the seventh sub-basement when a man is penalized on such grounds, that being more or less, the supposedly general idea of fisticuffing. What he should have done, it became apparent as the fight wore on, was to penalize both men 15 yards. That would have put them in about the sixth row of the ringside seats, where they both be-lonzed.
Pep, however, pointing to an eye which had seen more thumbs than boarding house soup, sat on his stool at the end of the ninth round and calmly announced:
"I quit."
It was a wise decision. His thumbs weren't as large as Saddler's and rubbing the laces across his opponent's eyes didn't even make up the difference. So Sandy Saddler retained the featherweight championship of the world-freestyle.
The longest kickoff return in Jayhawk history was in 1930. Jim Bausch took a Kansas State kickoff and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown.
