PAGE FIVE
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Asst. Sports Editor
Coach Jules V. Sikes received a fine birthday present from his Jayhawker football team Saturday as it easily rolled over the "Remaining Twenty-six" Oklahoma Aggies, 40 to 7. Sunday was Coach Sikes' birthday.
Saturday's win marked the second straight year that K.U. presented its coach with a birthday gift by defeating the Aggies. After losing four out of the first five games in 1949, the Jayhawkers rolled over Oklahoma A. and M. on Coach Sikes' birthday at Stillwater, 55 to 14, to spoil a homecoming occasion for 26,000 Aggie rooters.
COACH SIKES
When Coach Sikes' close friend, J. B. "Ears" Whitworth, new Oklahoma Aggie coach, heard about K.U.'s second straight win over A. and M. on a Sikes' birthday, he immediately wanted to find out from Hank "Four-man" Iba, Aggie athletic director, on what date the 1951 Kansas game would be played at Stillwater.
The two-year score now reads, Sikes' Birthday Parties—95, Oklahoma Aggies 21...Kansas also defeated the Aggies here in 1948—Sikes' first year at Kansas—by a 13 to 7 score.

Following Saturday's victory, the Kansas dressing room was the scene of a short but highly spirited celebration in honor of Coach Sikes . . . As Sikes entered the
dressing room, the team broke out singing "Happy Birthday To You," and followed it with, "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow."
Coach Sikes, beaming with a big smile, from ear to ear, took off his hat and called the team together in the center of the room. He told them, "You did a fine job. Let's get that Nebraska." The team immediately broke out with a loud roar of approval that nearly shook the southeast corner of the stadium.
There was less back slapping and talking about the game than usual. . . The seriousness of the players as they quickly dressed indicated that they realized the K.U. "toughies" still remained to be played—games with Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
KU
While listening to various "coffee-shop quarterbacks" rehash Saturday's one-sided win, we heard several comments that made us wonder just what a coach must do to satisfy "John Q. Fan."
Some fans seemed to think that Coach Sikes "pulled the dogs off" too soon on Coach Whitworth and his badly outmanned Aggie football team. . . These fans reasoned that they had paid their good money to see football and not a practice session between K.U.'s reserves and the "beat-up" Aggies.
Had these fans stopped to use a little reasoning, we think they'd have been a bit more careful of their statements. Did they stop to think of these facts?
No. 1—no coach wants to "pour-it-on" a fellow coach, especially when you've been a coaching associate of his for nine years . . . We think Coach Sikes showed the highest sportsmanship possible and proved—as he always has—to be a really true gentleman at all times. The same is true of Sikes' entire coaching staff. In our book, you can't find a better coaching staff or finer gentlemen in this conference or any other.
No. 2—why risk injuries to key players when you're 40 points ahead and need to give reserves experience? What if Charlie Hoag, Wade Stinson, or Mike McCormaek would have gotten hurt with K.U. leading by this wide margin? They'd have "fired" Silkes on the spot and run him out of town. The Kansas No. 1 unit will probably need this much needed rest they got Saturday. Several are expected to go most of the way against Nebraska.
No. 3—the Jayhawkers were scouted Saturday by Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Why should K.U. have been showing off its kev running or pass plays if we didn't need them?
No. 4-Saturday's game was Dads' Day. . . Sikes swept clean the Kansas bench-51 players in all. Nothing was nicer for the fathers than to see their sons in action on the day that they were honored.
All things taken into consideration, we think Coach Sikes and his staff did a fine job Saturday. Maybe their long range planning—their operation motive Saturday—will be responsible for the Jayhawkers winning the Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri games this year... We look for them to win at least two of these three and may upset the Mighty Oklahoma Sooners-27-game winning streak and all.
ATO Rolls On In Intramural Football
By ALAN MARSHALL Intramural Editor
Alpha Tau Omega scored another lop-sided victory in fraternity "A" play as it kept up its high-scoring ways, chiefly on the sharp passing of Chet Laniewski and Herb Weidensau.
DU 12, Phi Delt 7
A feature of Friday's intramural play was a 10-piece German band supplied by Sigma Chi for its "Homecoming" game with Sig Alab
Phi Kappa Sig 15. Phi Tau 0
Phi Kappa Sig won a hard-fought battle to decide who dropped into the cellar in division IV. Phi Tau was unable to stop a first quarter drive that netted all 15 points for the victors.
The Phi Delt's didn't score until the fourth quarter when Emil Schutzel took a pass from Bill Piper for 40 yards and a touchdown.
After the first quarter most of the game was fought in midfield with a constant exchange of punts.
The band apparently served its purpose for the Sigma Chi's took an easy 27 to 10 victory.
D. U. scored two touchdowns in the first quarter to knock Phi Delt out of the undefeated class. Both of the scores came on passes from Harold Henson to Pete Konek, the first covering 80 yards and the second five yards. Bill Keller played a rugged game in the D.U. line, although he was injured on the last play of the game.
A.T.O. 40, A.K.L. 2
A. T.O. scored in every quarter to keep up a constant barrage of touchdowns that completely bewildered a defenseless A.K.L. team. Chet Laniewski hurled four scoring passes and Herb Weidensal connected with two more. End Bob Hucke caught three of the aerials and Bob Trego two.
Phi Psi 21, Sigma Nu. 0
A rugged and tricky Phi Psi team scored in every quarter to win its second straight and move to the top of division III. Rich Mercer passed to Bob Knightly for the first score to get things moving. From then on it was Phi Psi all the way.
Sigma Chi 27, SAE 10
Sigma Chi caught the spirit of their pep band and moved 60-yards
in the first two plays of the game to score on a pass from Lee Vogel to Dixon Vance. Another Vogel pass, this time to Al Marshall, accounted for the second touchdown and then Bob Near faded back and threw a long pass into the waiting arms of Vance who stood all alone in the S.A.E. end-zone.
Vance scored his third touchdown of the game in the third quarter when he took a bullet pass from Vogel on the one-yard line. Frank Renfrow converted three out of four place-kicks.
The S.A.E.'s caught the Sigma Chi defense unawares to score their only touchdown on a pass from Jerry Frieling to Bill Price. Bill Dorsch and Dick Humfrey's each trapped a Sigma Chi passer in the end-zone to score two safeties.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 23 — (U.P.)
Oklahoma's near-perfect football team yielded the Midlands front-
and-center position today to a pair of dazzling sophomores who will clash next Saturday in the Nebraska-Kansas Big Seven game at Lawrence.
Kansas-Nebraska Game Tops Saturday's Big Seven Schedule
It wasn't that the cash customers have out following Bud Wilkinson's super-team at Oklahoma. It was just that the cavortings of Nebraska's Bob Reynolds and Kansas' Charlie Hoag have started fans wondering when the likes of these young men ever before was seen in the Big Seven.
The showdown on which is greater will headline an otherwise drab schedule.
Oklahoma, now looking for win No. 26—it's the nation's best consecutive, victory, string, will, in all probability, tear. Iowa. State, to shreds, at. Ames., much, the same manner as it massacred Kansas State, 58 to 0, at Norman last Saturday.
Kansas State (0-3) has an open date this week. No school ever needed one worse.

Pi K A 15, Phi Kappa 0
Missouri's disappointing Tigers are matched against Oklahoma A. and M., upon whose Cowpokes fortune has not smiled in quite a spell. Kansas trampled the Aggies Saturday, 40 to 7, one week after S.M.U. had butchered the Oklahomaans, 56 to 0.
Real Filters . not mere hollow tubes
Pi K A scored a touchdown and a safety in the second quarter, then added another t.d. in the third quarter to take the measure of a disorganized Phi Kappa team. The game was rather unexciting to watch, although the Pi K A. A's displayed the spirit of a real winner.

Colorado (2-2) will play its second non-conference rival in a row when the Buffs go to Salt Lake City to meet the University of Utah. Last Saturday Colorado, surprise winner over Nebraska earlier, met Arizona. The result was a 28 to 25 Colorado victory.
Oklahoma's awesome team was never extended against Kansas State. Wilkinson used 49 players. They all looked just about alike to K-State. If there is a single one of Oklahoma's remaining six opponents with the stuff to snap the Sooner string, the method for such an operation was not today in sight.
All Reynolds did was score all his team's points for the third time this season in Nebraska's 19 to 0 win over Penn State. Hoag, ground-
The Reynolds-Hoag clash should fill Memorial stadium. Kansas will take into the game a Big Seven record of 2-0, against Nebraska's 0-1.
gainningest Jayhawk in Kansas history, scored a pair of touchdowns in his team's lopsided triumph.
