Iowa State Coach Looks To Kansas For Big Test
By DON SARTEN
William Allen White's famed "What's the Matter With Kansas" editorial of years ago would never do today. Not around the soggy Jayhawk practice gridiron. Today head coach J. V. Sikes and about 50 of his gridders would shout in unison, "it's too blamed wet!" Murky skies and intermittent drizzles have brought out all the aches and pains veteran athletes are susceptible to—and especially so in damp weather. Banged up knees that work fine in warm weather become stiff and unwieldly. Joints just ache in general.
Where before they had only an occasional bloody nose to contend with, now many have "running" ones. Like everybody else on the hill, many of them have colds.
Intramurals Deadline Set
Intramural sports for men are scheduled to start Monday, Oct. 1 Walter J. Michols, acting intramural director said today.
All entries in football and individual sports have a Thursday, Sept. 27, deadline. None will be accepted after that date.
A 35-cent entry fee for all activities is charged, the director said.
Single elimination tournaments will be held in tennis, golf, handball, horseshoes, and badminton. Doubles matches will be held in all divisions with the exception of golf.
Individuals participating in singles may also play in the doubles. In football, "A" and "B" class competition will be offered.
All freshmen interested in managerial spots on teams should state their qualifications in a letter to the intramural office, 107 Robinson, by Oct. 1.
Don Pierce, University sports publicity director, captained the 1940 Jayhawkers. He also was chosen as all-conference center in that year.
Oklahoma has had a share of every Big Seven championship since 1946 and has held the title exclusively the past three years.
This will be the first year Kansas has played Loyola of Los Angeles.
But a tough scrimmage last night had them forgetting everything except the work at hand. Sikes had the frosh working out probable Iowa offenses against the varsity Jayhawk defense.
And the big Jayhawk line was responding enmasse. Merlin Gish and Jose Fink were plugging the occasional hole a fresh griddier slipped through in the varsity line—fast. End Dave Schmidt and tackle George Mrkonic were all over the field. And so it went, right on down the defensive roster.
But there was one note as sour as the weather. Charlie Hong's groin injury appears to be getting worse, instead of better. Trainer Dean Nesmith said that the pulled muscle in the groin needs rest.
If the KU All-American candidate for a half-back spot must miss a game, chances are it'll be the Iowa clash. An upcoming game with Colorado will need his services—bad.
Meanwhile, Iowa is not without its troubles. They lost the services of Maury Schnell, their top fullback, in the Wayne game.
Stuber Dubious
Admitting that his Cyclones played creditably against Wayne University last week, Coach Abe Stuber is withholding any orchids until he sees the reaction of his team of stiff competition
"Wayne was not enough of a test," Stuber said, "for us to base any kind of an estimate of the team for the rest of the year. We'll be much closer to any sort of an answer next Saturday night."
Bob Lamson, head of the invading "Bees," would like a third straight win but realizes his team will have to be tougher than in its pair of wins over Graceland, (6-0) and Buena Vista, (13-12).
KU Bees lost their opening game last week to Missouri, 29-13. Sloppy weather has hampered workouts this week, Coach Hub Ulrich says, but figures his boys to be "a little better."
While both teams have been winning over in "Cyclones Land", the Kansas Varsity hasn't been idly twiddling its thumbs. KU's 27-13 win over a highly regarded TCU team last week was the first win for the Jayhawkers over the Texas team since the post-war series started.
Shaky Bums Drop Pair As Giants Nip Heels
New York—(U.P.)—It will be a subway World Series all right, but the Yankees didn't have the slightest idea today whether they will be playing baseball's modern "miracle men," the Giants, or the loddering Dodgers for the championship.
And get set for that miracle because it could occur.
The fantastic Giants are roaring home at an unbelievable pace, even surpassing the stretch run of the famed 1914 Braves, who climbed from last place on July 4 to win the flag. The Giants, who lost 11 straight games in the first two weeks of the season, weren't in last place July 4, but they were worse off than the Braves at a much later date.
Last Night is one the Giants—and the Dodgers—never will forget, no matter who comes home in front.
For the gritty guys of Leo Durocher made a truly Giant stride to within one game of first place by topping the Phillies, 5 to 1, with crackling brilliance while the Doggers were miserable for 18 innings as the Braves trampled them, 6 to 3 and 14 to 2.
At the same time, the idle Yankees moved to within two games of clinching their third straight flag when the second place Indians tumbled their fourth straight defeat, 4 to 2, at Chicago and the run-down Red Sox
lost a 3 to 0 two-hitter to Bob Porter-
field in Washington.
The Giants, who play the Phillies again tonight after the Braves take another whack at the Dodgers this afternoon, could go into a virtual tie for the lead, two percentage points behind if they win and Brooklyn loses.
The Yankees, ready for a "clinching party," have six to go, all at home, starting with the Athletics today. They are off tomorrow, wind up with five against the Red Sox, playing Friday and Saturday double headers and a single game Sunday.
Intramurals For Women Starting Soon
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT
ient times.
Later in the year a team will be selected to meet Ottawa, Baker, and Washburn representatives in a tournament. Miss Hoover said.
A board has been elected to settle any problems arising from intramural competition. Serving on the board are Shirley Wilkie, education junior; Ernestine Dehlinger, education senior, and Marilyn Hanson, college junior.
Intramural sports for women will begin next week, with volleyball, badminton singles, and tennis on the agenda, Miss Ruth Hoover, director of intramurals said today.
Independents may form teams by contacting Miss Hoover.
The school director estimated that about 300 women would compete in volleyball games alone. Twenty-eight teams have been lined up for this phase of the program.
For Men Students
Drawings for badminton and tennis will be held immediately. Results will be posted on the Intramural office bulletin board. Opponents must contact each other and arrange their matches for conven-

Along the JAYHAWKER trail
Let's see now. Was Texas Christian over-rated, or were we under-rated? Rave notices had Dutch Meyer brewing a "sleeper" in his team that "could take the title while favorites like Texas, Baylor and Texas A. & M. were fighting among themselves."
The Cyclones managed to get everybody into the act while scoring a quiet 53-21 victory. Reviews of the game said simply that "Iowa State, whose offense the last two years has been built around Bill Weeks, a departed star, showed more diversification Saturday..."
Hmmm. Diversification. . . Lotta syllables in that word. Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Could Iowa be stepping into the shoes we vacated by beating the Texas team? And will they place the right shoe in the same spot we planted it on T.C.U.?
There's still another little hint in "Iowa State, presenting what may be its best balanced team in years, had freedom of movement the entire game, with the Wayne TD's occurring in the final stanza against Iowa State reserves."
All of which boils down to—who does what when we meet Iowa this weekend? How bad do we trounce them now that we're one of the "surprises" of the year. . . . Still—we can't very well overlook Iowa's workout Saturday against Wayne university.
It's something to think about. You can bet the Iowa Cyclones are giving the subject some serious consideration. You just don't run up 53 points easy. Not against even a small school.
ON THE BASEBALL SCENE:
On the other hand, our Jayhawker outfit was "pitifully undermanned—and green." Especially on the line. We didn't belong on the same field with the much heralded Horned Frogs.
All we have to say is that the "Lip" sure dies hard. Despite the number of people who dislike Leo Durocher, you have to give him credit for effort. And spirit.
So if Leo chooses to "shoot the works" at this late date, more power to him. But he'd better start praying the Dodgers are out of ammunition.
With the American League battle so close, for so long, the climb of the Giants has received scant attention, but we can recall their being about 10 games behind, three weeks ago.
