Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Following practice on Thursday, Coach J. V. Sikes had this to say about the Jayhawkers' game with Oklahoma A. and M. Saturday. "We'll have to play very good ball or we'll get beat. The Aggies are well coached and will be in excellent condition. Coach Whitworth will field a team that will battle us all the way, win, lose or tie," Coach Sikes said, "and we'll need an 'all-out effort' in order to win this one."

You don't need to feel sorry for the Oklahoma Aggies when you read about their player personnel. . . They started the season with "The Fightin' Forty" and watched it dwindle away to the "Thin Thirty" due to losses to the armed services and to injuries . . .
Coach Whitworth's club is short in numbers, but long on desire and ability.
DARREL MEISENHEIMER
Oklahoma A. and M. will field an offensive backfield that will average 190 pounds as compared with an average of 186 for the Jayhawkers . . . In the line, the Aggies will scale 204 offensively to 202 for the Jayhawkers . . . This Oklahoma Aggie team is not only big, but fast, hit hard, and plays its football for "keeps."
In Darrel Meisenheimer, former Attica, (Kan.) prep star, the Aggies have one of the Midland's best linebackers who won all Missouri Valley honors as a guard in 1947 and 1948 . . He also plays offense at right half alternating with Wayne Johnson.
John Grabko, fullback, is the best Aggie ball carrier. . . This hard hitting 191-pound back gave K.U. a bad time last year at Stillwater even though the Jayhawkers spoiled the Aggies' homecoming, 55 to 14. . At quarterback, the A. and M. eleven has a big talented kid, Bob Cook, to handle the Whitworth "T" and spread formations. . He is a good short passer and provides good team leadership. . He is 6-foot 3-inches and weighs 203 pounds.
At left halfback, Arlen McNeil (188) provides speed to this heavy set of backs. . . On the other side, Johnson, handles the right half slot as a double duty operator. . . Over-all, this backfield has fast, big, hard runners that will be hard to stop and bring down. Kansas' star sophomore linebacking twins, Merlin Gish and Galen Fins, will probably be called upon to work a little overtime Saturday in helping the linemen down these big Sooner state backs.
The A. and M. ends are big rangy fellows . . . They average 6-foot 2-inches by nearly 200 pounds . . . They make excellent targets for Cook's passes . . . The tackles and guards are also big and know only one type of football, "rough-tough, sock 'em" variety . . . At center a 195-pounder, Dick Von Drehle, provides the Aggies with one of the best pivotmen in the Missouri Valley conference . . . He is a senior letterman from Muskogee, Okla.
Four of Coach Whitworth's battlers go all the way—both on offense and defense. . . They are guards Wilbanks Smith and Phil Smith, right tackle Melvin Leierer, and right halfback, Johnson.

A glance at past Oklahoma A. and M.-Kansas football games shows K.U. with four straight wins. In 1946, Kansas defeated the Aggies' All-American Bob Fenimore and Co. (with little end Dave Schmidt hitting Fenimore 13 times, seven for losses) 14 to 13 at Lawrence. . . The Jayhawkers ground out a 13 to 7 win at Stillwater in 1947 by rolling up 317 yards rushing with Forrest Griffith scoring both touchdowns.
The 1948 game was won by the same score at Lawrence, 13 to 7, as halfback Charlie Moffett fled 45 yards with an intercepted fourth quarter pass for the winning t.d. . . Last year, K.U. handed the Aggies one of its worst defeats, 55 to 14, at Stillwater before a large homecoming crowd. . . The Aggies entered this game two touchdown favorites. . . Old hands on this year's A. and M. team will be out to even the score for the rude treatment they received before the "home folks" last year.

Beta's Continue Unbeaten In I-M Play
By ALAN MARSHALL Intramural Editor
The defending champion Beta team kept up its offensive barrage with a resounding 46 to 0 defeat of Alpha Phi Alpha. The Beta passing attack moved relentlessly down the field with all the spark of a true champion.
Bill Burten caught two touchdown passes to lead his Phi Gam team to victory. The game was close all the way but the Fiji's powerful offense proved too much for the Kappa Sigs.
Phi Gam 18. Kappa Sig 12
The first Phi Gam touchdown came on a pass to Bunten in the end zone. A Larry Cheatham to Jim Potts aerial clicked for their second score. Bunten caught another of Pott's passes for the last Phi Gam touchdown.
The Kappa Sigs scored when Don Ochs intercepted a pass on the Phi Gam 15-yard line and ran for a touchdown. Jim Stringfellow passed to John Goodson for their other score.
Lambda Chi 12, Triangle 0
Charley Bether scored the first Lambda Chi touchdown on a 70-yard punt return four plays after the opening kick-off. Phil Owen tossed a short pass to Kay for their second score.
Delts 29, Sig Eps 0
The Delta's suddenly came to life with a resounding defeat of a good Sig Ep team. Tommy Crahan led the victors with three touchdown passes and then caught one himself for an extra point. Clark Grimm caught two of his scoring aerials and Don Coburn the other. The other Delt score came on a pass from John McConnell to Grimm.
Keith Hartell caught a Sig Ep passer in the end one to register a safety for the Delts. Max Embree and Pete Rombold were outstanding in the Delt line.
The Sig Eps threatened in the last two minutes of the first half but lost the ball on an interception. Vern Forst turned in a fine game in the Sig Ep line.
Acacia 13. A E Pi 0
Acacia scored one touchdown in each of the first quarters and then outlasted a fighting but outclassed A. E. Pi team through a scoreless second half. The first score came on a deceptive pass play that went from Sam Willoxen to Jack Allen to McCormick, covering 50-yards for his second score, counted for their second score, this time from Allen to McCormick. Willoxen passed to Clint Carrier for the extra point.
Delta Chi scored all its points in their first quarter and then were busy stopping the passing of Press Wilson, ace TKE tailback. The Delta Chi touchdown came on a pass from Don Lowell to Dunivent. Bob McLeroy caught another aerial for the extra point. A TKE back slipped and fell in his own end zone, adding two points to the Delta Chi total.
Press Wilson aimed most of his passes at Lorn Evans but only one thunderstrike touchdown. Don Korris was outstanding in the TKE defensive backfield.
Track Men Prepare For Indoor Season
Beta 46, A Phi A 0
The Beta's had no trouble in
A large number of track men are working out on the Memorial stadium oval under the supervision of Coach Bill Easton and assistant coach Jim McConnell in preparation for the coming indoor season.
Led by captain Emil Schutzel, 11 returning lettermen from last year's Big Seven indoor track championship squad are taking advantage of the spring semester like usual. The runner kinks out. At present approximately 20 men are working out, but Coach Easton expects more soon.
Gene Roberts, who played freshman and Varsity football at KU. in '41 and '42 is now one of the top pro players and the star of the New York Giants. He played the remainder of his college ball at the University of Chattanooga.

Beta passes, usually intended for either Jim Francis or Joe Mendenhall.
