WEDNESDAY SEPT. 28,1949
By GEORGE BROWN. JR.
The Kansas Jayhawkers will be hosts to the Iowa State Cyclones here in Memorial stadium Saturday.
The Cyclones have been living up to their names in their two games this season.
In their opener the Cyclones swamped little Dubuque 64 to 0.
Reports from the Iowa State camp say the Cyclone squad is definitely not lacking in spirit and hustle. The reports say that Coach Abe Stuber has been "mightily" impressed by the pepper and spirit of his big batch of seniors—hustle you usually expect of sophomores. And the sophomores, eager to impress Coach Stuber and his assistants, have worked all the harder to match the hustle by the veterans.
In their second game Iowa State came from behind twice to gain a 20 to 20 tie with a heavily favored Illinois eleven which was considered one of the darkhorses of the Big Ten.
Iowa State fans are all smiles and praise when speaking of quarterback Weeks. Against Dubuque Weeks called the plays just right. However, Iowa State didn't gain very much prestige from the victory. Against Illinois the Cyclones weren't given an outside chance. However, Weeks and his veteran crew put on a show of running, passing, and kicking—a performance which hasn't been equalled by an Iowa State team in many seasons.
Guided by quarterback Bill Weeks in the Illinois game the Cyclones kept switching from the standard "T" to a new and puzzling "V" formation. The "V" has the quarterback and fillback facing each other about five feet apart with a halfback behind them pointing to the line—the other halfback is on the wing.
Coach Stuber's probable offensive starting lineup will be: L.E. Dean Laun, L.T. Lowell Titus, L.G. Joe Brubaker, C. Rod Rust, R.G. Bill Myers, R. T. John Tillo, R.E. Jim Doran, Q.R. B.e克斯, L.H. Lornie Paulson, R.H. B角 Angle, and F.B. Bill Chauncy.
This corner is sticking with the home team to come out on top in Saturday's tilt—and not just because it's the home team. The Jayhawkers are overdue to play the brand of ball they're capable of doing. So this Saturday they should bound back with some of the spirit and hustle that has been lacking before, and show the Iowa Staters they're just a little blow compared to a Kansas cyclone. It'll take a fighting team to win—this corner believes K. U. will be that scrapping team Saturday.
While on the subject of spirit, where is some of the old student spirit. The Jayhawkers still practice at 4 p.m. five days a week. Out of an approximate 8,000 enrollment only about 50 students attend practice—an enormous percentage. There's a story about the spirit of the students during the 1947 championship season. It seems that a 14-year-old boy, so impressed by the spirit of the Jayhawker students on the Orange bowl trip, wrote to Kansas officials stating that this is the school he wants to attend when he's old enough.
Let's turn out for Friday's practice and show the fellows that win or lose we're behind them—let them know that they'll go on the gridiron Saturday as a fighting 8,000 and not just eleven guys named Joe. So pass the word around for a rally at 4 p.m. Friday at the practice field east of the stadium.
Going into the final four games of the season the National league leader and runner-up are in exactly the same place as the American league leader and runner-up. The St. Louis Cardinals, leading the senior circuit, have won 95 and lost 55 and four games remaining to be played. The second place Brooklyn Dodgers, one game behind, have a

Dyer. Since then Dyer more times has felt the need for this curve-ball cutie when the Redbirds pitching staff sagged.
He could have used Dickson very much Tuesday night, for example, when the Pittsburgh Pirates mowed down five St. Louis pitchers for a 6 to 4 victory that sliced the Card league lead to one game over the Brooklyn Dodgers. A victory in that tilt would have put the Redbirds almost out of reach of the Brooks, leaving each four games to play.

And to make matters worse, the Cards must go against Dickson in this crucial game today. He will pit his 11-14 record against Gerry Staley, a 10-9 man who somehow avoided the mass meeting held by the

Cards on the Forbes field pitching mound Tuesday night.
It was a rookie who wreaked the most damage on the Redbirds. Tom Saffel nonchalantly rapped a 2-1 pitch with the bases loaded in the second inning. The ball sailed high against the right field foul pole screen for a home run, his second in the majors. Those were the four runs which spelled the difference.
But as much as Saffel's homer, the Cards could blame themselves for the defeat. Red Scheidienst committed two errors and the usually flowless Marty Marion one. Too,another Pirate run was walked in during the five-run second innings.
After it was all over, Dyer could say only. "We just got a bad game out of our system. But remember, we still have a full game lead."
The Cards did show spark in the eighth when they scored three runs on Marty Marion's single, Del Rice's walk, Hoe Glaviano's single, Eddie Kazak's single and Chuck Diering's single.
Now comes the four-game stretch drive. The Dodgers play Boston to-
