Close Ones Are Rule Against TCU
By JOE TAYLOR
The term "Jayhawker jinx" can readily be applied to the K.U.-T.C.U. gridiron clash to be played at Fort Worth Saturday night. Although Kansas has enjoyed some of her best football teams during the eight years these two teams have met, she has yet to bring home a win.
In fact, the closest the men from Mt. Oread have come to victory was in '46 and '47 when the power packed teams of those years fought the Horned Frogs to a pair of scoreless ties.
While T.C.U. has consistently been grabbing decisions from the Jayhawks, in only three of the eight encounters has the outcome of the game been decided by more than a touchdown.
Sparked by such football luminaries as Ray Evans, Otto Schnellbacher, Don Fambrough and others, the Jayhawks have time after time turned back the Purple horde.
For example, in the 1944 game the Frogs scraped by with a narrow 7-0
Charlie Hoag, the Jayhawks' star halfback, reinjured a groin muscle in a drill yesterday and will see only limited action in the season's opener against Texas Christian university in Fort Worth Saturday.
The ace left halfback suffered the initial injury early this week. He had taken part in rough contact work since.
Hoag Injured Action Limited
Coach J. V. Sikes said Hoag's injury could prove bothersome for as long as several weeks.
Sikes said Hoag's injury will weaken the K.U. offensive attack considerably in the first game. Yesterday's offensive workout was the least impressive of the season, according to Sikes.
"If we don't wake up we're going to be a humiliated bunch of Kanans down in Texas Saturday night," he said.
victory. In 1946 and '47 came the two scoreless ties. The following year almost provided another tie when the teams both scored two touchdowns but a missed K.U. conversion put the game into the hands of the Texans 14-13.
The 1950 grid meeting of the two schools was another close one. Only seven points separated the teams as T.C.U. gave Kansas a tough 14 to 7 defeat.
However, when the Horned Frogs piled up a lopsided score over Kansas, they did it with a heavy hand. In the series opener in 1942, the Texas Christians walloped K.U. by the score of 41 to 6.
Although they did not reach the high of the first game, in 1945 they pushed across three markers while holding the Jayhawks scorele to win an 18 to 0 victory. Then in '49, just to show that they had not forgotten how, the men from T.C.U. shut out the Red and Blue again, 28-0.
With this being the season curtain raiser for both teams it is difficult to say just what might be the result. On one hand, it could be one of those scoreless ties and on the other hand, T.C.U. might be ready to deal out one of those landslide scores they have given in the past.
It could end up as so many others have by being heartbreakingly close. In fact—if the K.U. gridmen have found the secret to the Jay-hawker jinx—Kansas might even win its first victory in nine meetings with Texas Christian!
Touch Football Casualty
Donald K. Stephan, College freshman, suffered a broken arm playing touch football Tuesday afternoon. Watkins hospital officials reported his condition as good.
Play Missouri Bees On Friday
The 56 Jayhawker football players going to Texas aren't the only ones who are scheduled to get bumped around this weekend.
At 3 p.m. Friday the Kansas and Missouri "B" teams will clash on the Jayhawker field. The game is the first of six on the docket for the Kansas Bees this season.
Hub Ulrich, assistant football coach, will be tutoring the "B" team, the majority of whom will be freshmen. Ulrich is the varsity baseball coach as is "H!" Simons of Missouri, who'll be guiding the Tiger "B" team Friday.
Missouri already has one game under its belt. The Tigers battled Maryville, Mo. Teachers' College to a 13-13 deadlock last weekend.
Friday's game will give freshmen on both teams a chance to earn a varsity berth next week.
Sikes Says Reynolds Will Play Big 7 Tilts
Coach J. V. Sikes, head coach of the Jayhawk grid squad, today predicted that Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Kansas will wind up the Big Seven race—in that order.
Coach Sikes, however, feels that the loss of Reynolds will not be too serious a blow because games that Reynolds will miss will be mostly non-conference. The Big Seven opener for Nebraska is with Missouri Oct. 27 at Columbia.
A recent injury to Bobby Reynolds of Nebraska has created a feeling that the Cornhuskers might not be able to live up to pre-season predictions.
Coach Sikes said that Nebraska has several fine backs that should be fully capable of carrying the load until Reynolds can get back into uniform.

Cleveland Indians Appear Shoo-in For American Flag
New York—(U.P.)Since the Indians are where the Yankees no longer can hurt them, the big "if" situations in the American League's fast-ending race definitely favored them today to win the pennay
Here is the "IF" picture today after the Yankees topped the White Sox, 5 to 3, and the Indians tomahawked the Red Sox, 15 to 2, leaving the embattled New Yorkers three percentage points in front, but with a lead that is shakier than a watch maker with a hangover:
W. L. Pet. GTP
Yankees 90 54 .625 10
Indians 92 56 .622 6
Red Sox 86 57 .601 11
Disregarding the fact that five of Cleveland's six games are with the Tigers, whom they have defeated in 16 out of 17 starts, and that the other is with the fading White Sox, the Indians still have the best of it in the crystal ball.
For should they win only three of those six games for a final reckoning of 95-59, the Yankees would have to win six out of their remaining 10 to take the flag or five out of 10 just to tie.
Yesterday, as Ray Boone, Bobby Avila and Luke Easter hit homers to make Early Wynn's 20th triumph a breeze, the light-hitting Indians collected 11 safe blows off five pitchers. It was the first time Wynn had won 20 games in a 12-year big league career. Walt Dropo homered for the losers.
The Yankees made only three hits to 10 for the White Sox, but two were homers by their prize rookies, Mickey Mantle with two walked batters on base, and Gil McDougall with the sacks empty. That was all the help reliever Bob Kuzavza needed for his 11th victory. Bobby Shantz of the A's scored his 17th victory, also high for his career in an 8 to 1

In the National League, the Dodgers increased their lead over the idle Giants when Preacher Roe, hurling on his "night" in St. Louis, blanked the Cards, 3 to 0, on five hits for his 21st win against two losses, Catcher Mickey Livingston, just called up from Fort Worth, got the big hit—a bases-loaded single that drove in two fourth-inning runs.
