UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Along The Jayhawker Trail
By RAY SOLDAN
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
They say the first is always the hardest. But here goes an attempt to do justice to our 1950 inaugural sports column. Our new name—"Along The Jayhawker Trail"—replaces "Spotlight on Sports," a designation used by Kansan sports writers for four or five years.
King Beta May Resign
The opening of intramural touch football warring is still almost two weeks away—Monday, Oct 2—so most of the K.U. sports attention is centered on Saturday's T.C.U.-Kansas game.
However, in various fraternities around the campus, championship hopes are high for the coming touch season. They see a chance to dethrone Beta Theta Pi, the 1949 champion. King Beta has lost only one game in three years, and that to Sigma Chi in the 1947 finals. Beta has built an impressive record the past few years: Hill championships in 1944, 1948, and 1949, runnerup in 1945 and 1946, and a semi-finalist in 1947.
Gone from 1425 Tennessee are ace-passer Bob Schwanzle, ends Claire Gilliam and John Stites, center Hank LaRue, and Al Lowrie, Beta's trusty place kicker. Manager Jerry Waugh says "we'll just build character this year." Beta's 1950 team will be built around returnees Jim Floyd, Jack Winter, Joe Mendenhall, and Bill Halverhout.
Alpha Tau Omega, runnerup to Beta last year, has most of its 1949 team back. Chet Laniewski will again handle the tossing, but he will have to find a pair of new targets as ends Don Wade and Don Aitken are gone.
Aitken are gone.
The two semi-finalists last year, Phi Delta Theta and Tau Kappa Epsilon, present opposing pictures. Phi Delt has lost heavily and will have to count mostly on newcomers. Their chief losses are Loren Powell, Don McIlrath, and passer Walt Quiring. T.K.E. has its complete 1949 backfield—including long-range passer Pres Wilson—returning. The whole line, however, has departed, leaving a problem there.
From the other four teams that made last year's championship playoffs, the biggest noise is being made by Sigma Chi. The "Sweetheart-boys" plan to field a line averaging 210 to 215 pounds a man. Lee Vogel and Odd Williams, veteran passers, will attempt to peer over this massive structure and find their pass receivers. The other fraternities represented in the 1949 playoffs were Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Personnel on the independent clubs changes so completely that
An accurate survey of them is not possible. The Dix club was the independent champion last year and in 1947. They are expected again to field a strong representative. A team called the Spartans was 1949 independent runnerup.
Brother Act Here Saturday
When T.C.U. plays here Saturday, the more-unobservant Jayhawker fans may think that this Moorman fellow is one whale of a player, "He gets in on every play." However, there won't be just one but rather three Moorman boys performing for the Horned Frogs. Bob is the starting right end, twin-brother Bill is the starting left end, and sophomore Tommy is reserve center.
It is very unusual for brothers to make the starting lineup of a large college team. A unique sit-
MOORMAN, T.C.U.
large college team nation might have occurred in the K.U.-T.C.U. game of last year I'm pretty sure that it didn't though. The opposing ends could have seen brothers Bill and Bob Moorman of T.C.U. and brothers Darell and Del Norris of Kansas.
Along side this column is a picture of Bob Moorman, who plays right end on defense and left end on offense—or is it Bill Moorman, who plays left end on defense and right end on offense? Anyway it's one of the Moorman boys—they both look alike, so what's the difference.
TCU Pep Rally Set For Friday Morning
A pep rally will be held at 9:45 Friday morning in Fowler grove, Donovan Hull, head cheerleader, said today.
Short talks will be given by football players and a pep band will provide music.
T. C.U. won six games, lost three and tied one during the 1949 season
"This will be the first rally of the year and I hope all students will try to attend and show plenty of spirit, pep, and enthusiasm," Hull said. "This will do much toward backing the team against T.C.U. Saturday."

Fall Intramural Program Opens Oct.2 In Six Sports
Plans for the fall intramural season—which opens Monday, Oct 2 were discussed Tuesday in a meeting of the organizational managers of fraternity and independent teams interested in the program. Don Powell, director of intramurals outlined the program and led the discussion.
Sports on the fall program are touch football, tennis, golf, handball, horseshoes, and badminton. Both singles and doubles tournaments will be held in tennis, badminton, and horsehouses. All sports except football—the only team sport on the fall program—will be conducted on a single-elimination basis.
Entry blanks for the fall sports were passed out to the team representatives. These must be filled out and returned to the intramural office between 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27. A 35-cent entry fee is charged per man.
The new intramural sports hand- book was distributed to the managers. The 64-page booklet contains rules, records, history, photographs, and other information about K.U.'s intramural program. Mr. Powell edited the book.

Persons interested in officiating intramural games should contact Mr. Powell in 107 Robinson gymnasium. Officials are paid one dollar for each game.
K.U. PENNANTS
Looking farther into the future, Mr. Powell announced that the intramural basketball program will be better than ever. Robinson annex has undergone a face-lifting job—the floor has been refinished, an electric timer and scorer and a new public address system have been added, making it one of the best courts in the state used for I-M sports.
The new student intramural board was introduced to the organizational managers. Warren Wulfekhler, a freshman manager last year, is the new intramural secretary. Others on the board are Jerry Armstrong, a senior manager from Kappa Sigma, who is in charge of the minor sports; Clark Grimm, senior manager from Delta Tau Delta, who is in charge of the major sports; Jim Perry, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Keith McIvor, Phi Gamma Delta; Jim Moorhead, Sigma Phi Epsilon; and Don Muir, Delta Tau Delta.
