"All aboard for Manhattan," will be the chant of the conductor on Saturday morning. The Union Pacific railroad is running a special football train to Manhattan for the Kansas-Kansas State football game. The railroad hopes this trip will be the beginning to bigger and better football excursions for Jayhawker fans to back their team away from home.
"We hope K.U. students, Lawrence downtown quarterbacks, and others will ride this special to Manhattan," John Robinson, local station agent, said today, "and let all Aggieland know that Kansas has arrived when we pull into Manhattan Saturday morning.
"Before the war, we operated football specials to the Kansas State, Nebraska, and Missouri games. Marching behind the K.U. band almost became a tradition at Manhattan, Lincoln, and Columbia as the fans paraded through the downtown districts before the game. The Union Pacific railroad would like to see these trips again become annual events and help K.U. grid teams receive the best possible support away from home.
"This year we obtained a special rate. The round-trip fare to Manhattan on the special is $2 plus 30 cents tax, or the round trip for the price of a one-way ticket. Next year we hope to have this rate for the Nebraska trip to Lincoln," Mr. Robinson said.
As I see it, riding this special looks like the only way to make the journey to Manhattan Saturday, and by all odds, the safest.
Here are a few facts about the special. The train will depart from the U.P. station promptly at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. It will arrive at Manhattan about 11:15. Coach J. V. Sikes' football team, the University band, and 10 cheerleaders will be on the train. The University pep organization will ride the train along with students and Lawrence townpeople.
Ray Evans, former K.U. All-American halfback in 1947, Roy Edwards, Cal Morrow, and other Greater Kansas City alumni boosters will board the train in Kansas City. They expect to fill four coaches. Your train will stop in Topeka to pick up about 150 fans.
Upon arrival at Manhattan, the University band will lead the Kansas fans in a parade from the railroad station through the downtown district where a big pre-game rally will be staged in front of the Wareham hotel.
Following the game, fans will have almost two hours to eat and board the train for the return trip. The train will leave Manhattan at 6 p.m. and arrive at Lawrence about 7:45.
The railroad will furnish modern coaches, a snack bar, and a diner. The Varsity football team will be fed on the way to Manhattan. Fans can also eat on the diner as it will serve during the noon hour and following the game on the return trip.
I rode last year's Union Pacific football special to Lincoln for the Nebraska game and could find nothing but praise for the way the company took care of the K.U. fans which totaled slightly more than 200. Everyone on the train had an enjoyable trip and this excellent unified spirit created went a long way toward sparking the Jayhawkers to a hard earned 27 to 13 victory over the Cornhuskers.
If you plan to attend the Kansas-Kansas State game, why not ride the football special? Certainly the railroad is making the transportation attractive enough at the round-trip fare of $2.30 which includes the tax.
If you've ever made a football trip on a special, we need not tell you about the fun that accompanies such a trip. If not you'll never be sorry you made your first one if you are aboard the train when it pulls out for Manhattan Saturday morning.
As a final bit of advice concerning this trip, get your railroad ticket before Saturday morning or you may miss the train. It must pull out promptly at 9:30 because it will have the football team aboard. Even though there will be two ticket windows open at the station Saturday, only a limited number of customers can be accommodated.

Phi Gam, Beta Will Battle For Fraternity 'B' Title
Phi Gam and Beta kept their undefeated strings intact in Tuesday's fraternity "B" semi-final play-off games and earned the right to meet each other Friday for the fraternity championship.
By RANDALL BARRON
The ability to come from behind told the story in the Phi Gam's 7 to 6 victory over the Phi Delts, while the Betas put on a free-wheeling offensive show as they defeated the Phi Psi's 40 to 0.
Wind and darkness slowed down the offenses in the tight Phi Gam-Phi Delt game but it failed to stop the Beta scoring machine.
Phi Gam 7. Phi Delt 6
Phi Gam' 1, Phi Dell' 6
Victory for the Phi Gam's came on Bill Porter's extra point kick which broke a 6 to 6 tie.
The tying touchdown had come late in the fourth quarter when Porter faded back to the 40-yard line and threw to Bill Mitchener who made a fine catch in the end one.
Darkness had just about taken over after the Phi Gam score and neither team was able to put on much of an offense. The last minute of the game found the Phi Gam's deliberately losing ground on every play rather than risk a pass interception.
The Phi Delt touchdown came in the third quarter after a Phi Gam pass was intercepted on the Phi Gam 30-yard line. Blaine Scheideman, Phi Delt passer, hit Charlie Appling on the five yard line for a first down.
On the next play, Bob Mehl made a leaping catch of a Scheideman aerial just before falling out of bounds in the end zone. It was good for six points.
Scheideman's pass attempt for the extra point was batted down by an alert Phi Gam defense.
The Phi Gam touchdown was set up by a pass play from Porter to Mitchener and back to Porter who carried down the middle to the Phi Delt 30-vard line.
It was from there that Porter faded back and threw his gametving pass to Mitchener.
Bob Dunne and Bob Dare teamed up to account for most of the Beta

Two IM Sports Titles Decided
Both horseshoe and badminton doubles have been completed in the intramural program. Championship games were recently played in both sports following the single elimination competition.
Two Beta teams went to the finals in horseshoes and the combination of Wayne Attwood and Neil McNeill won a close match from Hugh Kreamer and Lynn Smith.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon team of Hal Titus and Chuck Church took the title in badminton by defeating Woody Davis and Lou Smith, Phi Gamma Delta runner-up.
Sal Maglie Asks For Salary Hike
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Nov. 15—(U.P.)—Swarthy Sal Maglie, the returned Mexican League exile who catapulted from relative obscurity to fame as one of the National League's winningest pitchers last year, said today that he wants $20,000 from the New York Giants in 1951.
Maglie, an off-season resident here, pointed to his record of 18 wins and only four defeats which gave him a percentage of 818—the best in the majors.

scoring against a baffled Phi Psi team.
Dunne threw six touchdown passes which accounted for all the Beta six-pointers. Dare was on the receiving end of three of the scoring passes and kicked two extra points.
The Beta's took the opening kick off and two minutes later they had scored their first touchdown on a short pass from Dumne to Wayne Attwood. That set the pattern of the game.
The second quarter saw Dunne pass for two more scores, the second one a 50-yard heave to Dare in the end zone.
The Betas took the second half kick-off and Dunne and Dare went into their act again. This time Dunne, with the wind at his back, threw 40 yards to Dare who again caught it in the end zone.
Later in the third quarter Dare again was on the scoring end of a Dunne pass, this one good for 30 vards.
Dave Raab and Dick Docking scored on other Dunne passes.
The Phi Psi's were forced to kick often and their defense was no match for the Beta air attack.
