KU's Hopes Against Aggies Lie In Air Offense, Defense
Kansas will rest its hopes on a new two-man passing attack when Coach J. V. Sikes' Jayhawks meet a revenge-minded Oklahoma A. and M. club Saturday at Stillwater in the Cowpokes' Homecoming game.
After using to KU. three straight years the Aggies have pointed to this game all season. If the Jayhawkers are to win it probably will have to be through their improved passing offensive. KU. has been on the upgrade since Sikes sent Dick Gilman to fullback to give the club an additional threat with quarterback Jerry Bogue.
This double-barrelled offense was first used in the fourth quarter
against George Washington and it was good for a seven-play, 62-yard drive to the winning touchdown in a 21 to 14 win, the team's only triumph thus far. Gilman, getting more protection at his deeper position, hit three and Bogue's short toss to Bill Schaake marked up the clincher.
The pair went all the way the past week and chalked up 189 passing yards and four touchdowns in a 26 to 48 spree. It was the highest total scored against O. U. since Texas and Bobby Lane beat the Sooners 34 to 14 in 1947; and the highest total by a conference team since 1941.
Have Weak Pass Defense
Have Weak Pass Defense
Gilman and Bogue each scored on runs after finding their receivers covered and Gilman nailed another on a 27-yard toss to Forrest Griffith of Alabama A & M's defensive line, averaging 229 pounds from tackle to tackle, has allowed only 89 yards a game, but through the air the Cowpokes have been hit for 959 in four games. The Angies may have to patch up that kind of a pass defense to win tomorrow.
Of course the Jayhawkers may also prove vulnerable to the passes of Cowpoke quarterback Jack Hart-agn, one of the nation's leaders was far. In 1948 Charley Moffett intercepted one of Hartman's passes
in the fourth quarter and fled 47 yards to the winning touchdown in a 13 to 7 win.
KU Leads 5-2 in Series
Kansas won 13 to 7 in 1947, 14 to 13 in 1946 and holds a five to two lead in the series. Widest margin in the series which started in 1923 has been nine points, that coming in K. U.'s 9 to 0 win in the first meeting.
Both clubs will be hit by injuries, especially K. U. Aubrey Linville, one of the Jayhawks' best pass receivers, is out with a sprained ankle. Darrrell Neimeheimer, Aggie guard, is out for the same reason. S. P. Garnett, tackle, Dr Bromm, center, and Cliff McDonald, halfback, will also miss the game.
The following men make up the K. U. travelling squad: Lynn Smith, Darell Norris, Orbon Tice, Chuck O'Neal, Bill Schaake, Delvin Norris, Bob Talkington, Carl Sandefur, Wally Rouse, Mike McCormack, Dolph Simons, Jim Griffith, Carl Ellis, John Idoux, Dick Tomlinson, Kent Thomas, George Kennard, Roland Eilerts, Howard Fischer, Wint Winter, Dick Gillman, Jerry Bogue, Ken Morrow, Forrest Griffith, Willie Modrin, Forrest Lamping, Dean Wells, Bud French, Wade Stinson, Dale Mallon, Bob Raymer, John Amberg, Bill Mace, Floyd Temple, and Bill Rinehart.

New York, Oct. 21—(U.P.)-Minnesota's bulldozing giants of the North country and potentially-great Kentucky were favored today to sweep along the road to major bowl bids with victories Saturday in top collegiate games of the week.
The oddsmakers posted Minnesota as an 11$ \frac{1}{2} $ point favorite to plaster Michigan with its third straight defeat in a Big Ten showdown at Ann Arbor that will go a long way toward determining whether Bernie Bierman's burly Gophers can win the Western conference championship and a subsequent trip to the Rose Bowl. Froud Michigan hasn't dropped three in a row in any season since 1937.
Kentuck;M.U. Given Nod
Kentucky, a five-game winner whose "poorest" afternoon resulted in a 19 to 0 victory over Louisiana State, was held at 6½ points over Southern Methodist in an intersectionsal game at Dallas Saturday night. Rated even earlier in the week, the point spread developed with an announcement that all-America halfback Doak Walker, SMU., was stricken with influenza.
Unbeaten Notre Dame is idle this week but most of the other national contenders are in action with Army, California, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Cornell all favored to remain in the undefeated class.
The Cadets of West Point were such a prohibitive choice over Columbia no odds were quoted. California was held at 22 points over Washington, Oklahoma at 20 over Nebraska, Cornell at 14 over Princeton and North Carolina at 7 points over Louisiana State.
Oklahoma and Missouri, who'll settle it on Nov. 12, both are favorites. Oklahoma by 20 over Nebraska and Missouri by 14 over Iowa State, a conference darkhorse that held Illinois to a tie.

Mike McCormack Gets Another Big Job
When Kansas meets Oklahoma A. and M. tomorrow, Mike McCormack, Kansas tackle, will be pitted against the Aggies 260-pound Indian center Ruben DeRoin. However, big assignments are nothing new to McCormack.
When McCormack reported for his first season of Varsity football in 1948 the tackle positions were already capably filled by veterans Hugh Johnson and Carl Ellis. McCormack lettered, playing as a replacement for co-captain Johnson. McCormack, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., has started every game this season at right tackle.
