F. C. "Phog" Allen, the coach, has won 21 basketball championships for K.U. and now F.C. "Phog" Allen, the osteopath, has won the 1950 American league baseball pennant for the New York Yankees. Dr. Allen didn't hit any home runs for the Yanks nor did he make any game saving catches, but Johnny Mize, a patient of his, did. Mize spent the early part of the season with the Kansas City Blues, a Yank farm club (such as it was). While stationed with the Blues, Mize made frequent visits to Mt. Oread to get the famed Allen massage treatment on his injured right shoulder. Big John took about a dozen treatments from Dr. Allen. The soreness gradually worked out of his shoulder and he began pounding the ball hard again.
The Yankees recalled him on June 21 and immediately put him at his old first base spot. In some 80 games, Mize hit 25 home runs and batted in more than 70 runs. Had he played the whole season and kept up this pace, the husky, former-Giant slugger would have led the American league in home runs. His circuit clouts broke up several ball games—enough to have meant the difference between the Yank pennant and a second-place finish.
By his own admission, Dr. Allen's treatments did him more good than any thing else. Mize first injured his shoulder seven years ago while diving into first trying to beat a runner.
DR. F. C. ALLEN
Dr. Allen-his doctor's title comes from the fact that he is a registered osteopath—has long
held an extra-curricular distinction of being able to mend speedily the various ills of which an athlete is subjected. A handy man with the hand is "Phog" Allen.

The Yankees—veterans of 16 World series—are heavy favorites to knock off the Phillies this year, and give the American league its fourth straight world champion. Most observers say the American leaguers will do it in five games.
Making the Yankees and the American league series favorites is only natural—the Yanks have won 12 of their 16 series attempts, including 10 of their last 11, and the junior circuit holds a 29 to 17 edge in past World series play. It's just part of the Yankee tradition to win the World series and usually in a minimum number of games.
The Phillies, on the other hand, are making only their second appearance as National league representative in the fall classic. They failed in their initial try back in 1915 when the Boston Red Sox downed the Phillies four games to one.
Thus when the "experts" install the Yankee as favorites, they are merely reflecting past history. All this leads up to my prediction on the series outcome: the Philies over the Yankees in six games. Philadelphia, despite the loss of Curt Simmons to the army (or perhaps because of it because it uncovered untested talent), has the greatest pitching depth of any team in the majors. Even in the staggering play of the final two weeks, the Phils pitching held up for the most part. It was a hitting deficiency that got Manager Eddie Sawyer's kids in trouble.
But when it counts, the speed, hustle, and spirit of the young Phils are going to make up for the team's "inexperience." This term "inexperience" that writers love to throw around is deceptive. All of the Phillies—except two players called up from Toronto to fill in as reserves—have at least a full season of major league experience. Most of them have played two, three, or four years in the big time, thus the Phils aren't the green rookies some writers would make out.

Champion Beta Wins First I-M Game
The intramural football schedule got under way Tuesday afternoon with six fraternity "A" league games played on the intramural fields. The defending champion Beta Theta Pi team looked good, though not yet as good as last year's team. Several teams ran up large scores, indicating that this year the stress is on offense, and more particularly pass offense.
Beta 13. Lambda Chi 0
The Betas, though not flashy, played a good steady game to keep the upper hand throughout the contest. The Lambda Chi's seldom threatened seriously and the final outcome of the game was never in doubt.
A surprisingly st rong Lambda Chi defense stiffed the Beta offense throughout the first quarter. But early in the second quarter the defending champions pulled themselves together and began to move. A long pass from Jim Floyd to end Jim Francis set up the first Beta touchdown. Another Floyd to Francis pass, this time a short one, and the score was 6 to 0. Bill Champion place-kicked the extra point and the half ended with Beta holding a 7 to 0 lead.
Kanna Sig 37. Triangle 0
Kappa Sig sgt. Triangle 6
Kappa Sig scored six points in the first in the second, six in the third, and 13 in the fourth, to come out on the long end of a lopsided score. Triangle was helpless to stop a powerful Kappa Sig team that surprised everybody with its potent attack.
The first score came on a 30-yard pass from Bob Kay to Morris Martin. Then Jim Stringfellow heaved a 25-yard aerial to Paul Brown standing in the end zone. Kay skirted end for another six points. The rest of the scoring came on an 8-yard pass from Stringfellow to Martin, a 40-yard pass from Brown to Martin, and a 10-yard pass from John Goodson to Brown. Goodson place-kicked the lone extra point.
Delts 26. Delta Chi 7
Delta 26, Delta Chi
The Delta served notice that they were a better team when they took the measure of a strong Delta Chi team. The Delta seemed able to score almost at will as they rolled over the opposition.

'Pop' Passes Cigars To Celebrate Son
The happiest man in Denver after K.U.'s 46 to 6 win over the University of Denver on Sept. 29 was A. H. "Pop" Werner, the Javhawkers' line coach.
Coach Werner became the father of a boy at Lawrence 15 minutes before the kickoff and received the news after the game. Saturday morning he toured the lobby of the Shirley Savoy hotel, K.U.'s headquarters in Denver, passing on cigars labeled, "Have a cigar on the new boy."

TKE 55. A.E.Pi 0
The TKEs completely outclassed an inexperienced A.E.Pi team and showed a powerful offense that scored almost at will. Press Wilson and Dick Evans led the TKEs with some outstanding backfield play. Wilson connected with several long passes and figured in the scoring of four touchdowns. Wilson had a hand in three. Don Gaddis, Jim Silvius, and Don Korris turned in a fine game for the victors.
Sig Ep 19. Acacia 0
Sig Ep showed flashes of brilliance in downing the Acacia team in a game that was closer than the score indicates. It was a well played game

all the way, but a tricky Sig Ep offense coupled with a stout defense was too much for the Acacias.
Daily Kansan score sheets are being stapled to each intramural scorecard. It is necessary that these be completely and concisely filled out if the Kansan is to carry comprehensive results of each game.
We will greatly appreciate it if the scorekeepers will take the few minutes required and fill them out. Please include first names, give the names of both the passer and the receiver, and supply all additional information needed to make the report complete.
On the last play of the third quarter Don Freely, Sig Ep end, intercepted an Aacacia pass and returned it to the 10-yard line. Then, on the first play in the fourth quarter, Freely caught a short pass to go over the goal line unmolested. J. K. Webber took a reverse from Rettig and threw another touchdown pass. Bob Mathers passed for the extra point.
Joe Scudder, Sig Ep center, caught a touchdown pass in the first quarter to start the scoring. The second and third quarters were uneventful as neither team scored but seemed content to exchange punts, although Herb Rettig, Sig Ep quarterback, completed eight out of 12 passes in the first half.
Bill Bunten scored two of the Phi Gam touchdowns, Jerry Clark accounted for one, and Jack Shields carried the last one over. Dick Pefold played an outstanding game from his guard position.
4 October 1950
Jim Blair scored the only A. Phi A. touchdown.
The Phi Gams looked like potential champions as they outran and out passed Alpha Phi Alpha to an easy victory. With many players returning from last year, the Phi Gams played with the precision and agility of seasoned veterans.
