PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1950 Along the JAYHAWKER trail By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor Dolph Simons, starting right guard on the Jayhawker football team, has an extra special interest in the 1950 World series. Dolph got a big thrill out of interviewing New York Yankee first baseman Johnny Mize and outfielder Tommy Henrich this summer while working as a reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World. Mize, who played much of the early season with the Kansas City Blues, a New York Yankee farm club, and Henrich visited K.U.'s famed Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen in June for treatment of athletic injuries and Dolph drew his biggest newspaper assignment. "It sure was a thrill to see Mize in action on television today as he treated me swell this summer," Simons said following the first game of the fall classic, "and I only hope the Yankees can win the World series." K.U. Has Ardent Football Followers RAY EVANS The Kansas - Denver football game at Denver last Friday night is a good indication of the real interest being shown in the 1950 Jayhawker football team. The best story concerns Ray Evans, Roy Edwards, and party that flew into the mile-high city for the game. Evans, former all-American halfback who played on K.U.'s great 1947 Orange Bowl team, showed up with the Kansas City party shortly before game time looking more like an army officer just in from Korea than a Kansas City banker. As the story goes, Ray and some of his army reservist buddies decided Friday afternoon to take a routine training flight and flew to Denver from the Olathe Naval Air station. This writer knows these fellows really like their K.U. football. While rehashing the K.U.-Denver game at a "snack-shop" across the street from the Shirley Savoy hotel at 2:30 a.m., Saturday, Evans said he thought they (his party) ought to get a little sleep before leaving for the airport at 5 a.m. on their return trip back to Olathe. These fellows got up as scheduled and were air-borne a little before 6 a.m. on their homeward journey. In fact, we think Ray was at work as usual Saturday morning. This spirit is what we call real loyalty to a fighting Jayhawker team that does an A-1 job of representing students, alumni, and K.U. fans throughout Kansas and the Midwest. When the team departed for Denver last Thursday night, we noticed one Lawrence "downtown coffee-shop quarterback" who was mighty disappointed that he was missing his first out-of-town K.U. football game in five years. This loyal fan was Frank McDonald, father of Cliff McDonald who starred as a defensive halfback on the 1947-48-49 Jayhawker teams. At a K.U. alumni luncheon Friday noon, Dolph Simons, president of the alumni association, said he had a telegram that would be of interest to Lawrence people present. It read like this, "Can't resist the temptation of seeing the Jayhawkers in action tonight. Meet the 2:50 p.m. plane."—Signed, Frank "Professor" McDonald. This is another example of how the Lawrence businessmen are behind Coach J. V. Sikes' football team. Sports Writer Picks K.U. To Finish High Jack Carberry, veteran Denver Post sports writer, recently picked Kansas to finish high in the Big Seven race and in the national rankings. He selected K.U. as the 18th ranking team in the national picture and second in the Big Seven, back of the Oklahoma Sooners with a 5-1 record. In all games, he predicted the Jayhawkers would have an 8-2 season record. Mr. Carberry lists Oklahoma as his No. 5 team in the nation and the Missouri Tigers No. 19, one spot back of K.U. . . . In conference games, he figures K.U. will lose only to Oklahoma while Missouri will fall before the undefeated Sooners and the Jayhawkers. Concerning Kansas, he had this to say, "Most pickers list the Jayhawkers as third in the league. We think Head Coach Jules Verne 'Siki' Sikes lost less and gained more than any club in the league. He has Charlie Hoag as his bright star—Hoag the most sought-after halfback in the land." We had the privilege of journeying from Denver to Boulder for the Kansas State-Colorado game last Saturday with Mr. Carberry. Following K.U.'s split with T.C.U. and Denver, he is still plenty high on K.U. and especially Hoag. With normal improvement, we're not so sure his predictions concerning K. U. won't look pretty healthy in late November. Close Games Enliven Intramural Play By ALAN MARSHALL Intramural Editor Several close games featured intramural play Wednesday. Three teams, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Chi won their games by big scores to mark themselves as teams to beat. Phi Delts 7, Pi K A 6 Pi Kappa Alpha came close to upsetting the dope bucket, but not quite close enough. The Pi KA team scored in the first quarter. Walt Hicks took a lateral from Bob Miller and then threw a pass to Jim Grey. That touchdown was all the scoring in the first half as the Phi Delta stiffened defensively but couldn't get their offense functioning according to plan. But in the third quarter the Phi Delts pushed over a touchdown on a pass from halfback Bill Piper to Buford Bissel, Phi Delt lineman. Ray Beers provided the precious extra point with a place-kick that split the uprights. Alpha Kappa Lambda 7, Sig Alph 6 A surprising AKL team won a close game from the Sig Alphs. All the scoring was done in the first half. Sig Alph scored first on a 35-yard pass from Bob Thompson to Marv White in the first quarter. The Sic Alph line played heads-up ball all the way, and Don Humphries and Joe Wolfe were particularly outstanding from their guard slots. A pass from Joe Kelling to Maurice Murphy in the second quarter proved to be the only scoring done by AKL. The game-winning extra point was converted on a fake kick that developed into a pass from Kent Bowden to Joe Kelling. DU 12. Sigma Nu 0 Delta Upsilon fought off several determined Sigma Nu onslaughts to emerge on the long end of a 12 to 0 score. Both of the DU touchdowns came in the second quarter. A pass from Jack Stonestreet to Dick Wood accounted for the first score and Harold Henson took a run over on the counter and ran over for the second two. A lack of a scoring spelled spell defeat for the Sigma Nu team, Several times they drove into DU territory only to have the defense stiffen and take the ball on downs.

SMITH CO. 846 Mass. ATO 26, Phi Kappa Sig 0 Alpha Tau Omega, last year's finalists, completely outclassed an impotent Phi Kappa Sig team. The ATO's scored almost at will against their hapless opponents. Two passes from Herb Weidensau to John Brose connected for touchdowns and Chet Laniewski tossed a bullseye to Bob Hucke. Another Laniewski touchdown pass was thrown to Bob Mallory. ATQ 26 Phi Kappa Sig 0 Phi Psi 21, Phi Kappa 0 A versatile Phi Psi attack was too much for a fighting Phi Kappa team that couldn't seem to fathom its opponent's passing attack. Phi Psi end Glenn Starmer converted some alert play into a touchdown when he snagged a pass deflected off the hands of his teammate, Bill Richardson. Rich Mercer tossed the pass that Richardson couldn't quite hold on to. Clark Wesley rewinter another pass to Richardson and this time he caught it for the second Phi Psi touchdown. Jay Drake completed a touchdown serial to Starmer just as the whistle sounded to end the game. Bob Knightly place-kicked all three extra points. Sigma Chi 27, Phi Kappa Tau 0 Little Lee Vogel tucked two touchdown passes to lead Sigma Chi to an easy victory over Phi Kappa Tau. The Sigma Chi team showed flashes of brilliance but generally Odd Williams, Sigma Chi end, caught the first of Vogel's touchdown passes. Then halfback Bob Near ran 10 yards through the line for the second score. Bill Stratton intercepted a Fhi Tau pass and crossed the goal unmolested. Dixon Vance was on the receiving end of Vogel's second touchdown pass. Frank Renfroe completed three out of four extra point placekicks. Graziano KO's Burton In Seventh Chicago, Oct. 5—(U.P.)—A powerful but erratic Rocky Graziano, was a knockout victory over Philadelphia's Gene Burton behind him, today looks forward to an early crack at Welterweight champ Sugar Ray Robinson. Graziano floored Burton after 2:12 of the seventh round Wednesday night in a battle that showed Graziano still had the punch if not the iron bound control to put it where he wanted it. Graziano went into the fight at 160 as compared with 151 for Burton and had trouble with his smaller opponent most of the way. He did, however, hold a slight edge on points at the opening of the decisive seventh. 809 Mass. THE COLLEGE JEWELER RONSON'S—$6.00 to $25.00 Ph.911 for Headquarters 904 Mass.
