KU Aerial Power Expected To Stop Buffs
Coach Jules V. Sikes' 1949 Kansas football squad, still upset over their 28 to 0 loss to T.C.U. here Sept. 17, opens its conference schedule Saturday against the University of Colorado.
The 35-man Kansas squad arrived in Denver at noon today where it will remain until Saturday morning. The Jayhawkers are having
a practice session on the Denver football field this afternoon. The game will be played in Boulder, beginning at 2 p.m. (C.S.T.) Saturday.
Big Ed Lee, the Kansans 212- pound first string tackle, is not on the trip. He has a crippled foot.
Roland Eilerts and Bob Drum, Sikes' number one and two centers, are on the trip, but may see only light action. Eilerts is suffering from a back ailment and Drum has a twisted knee which he received in the T.C.U. game.
Probable lineups indicate that the Jayhawkers will enter the lineup with an eight-pound per man advantage. If they do it will be the second time this has occurred in 33 games. Probable starting lineups indicate Kansas would weigh in at 197 and Colorado at 189.
Kansas enters the game a favorite but may have trouble stopping the sparkling running Colorado attack of the Buffaloes. Sikes expects little but that may be the chief Kansas weapon.
The Coloradans have the same starting backfield which it used last year. Harry Narcise, Malcomb Miller, and Don Hagin do most of the Buffaloes running. Narcise, probably Colorado's outstanding player last year, is a triple threat. Narcise and Winningham will do the passing and Narcise, Miller, and Hagin will take care of the punting.
Kansas is expected to rely chiefly on the passing ability of Dick Gilman who tossed three outchuck passes against Dal Ward's club last year. Colorado hopes to stop Gilman's aerials with tight air defense. The Jayhawkers initiated Colorado into the conference last year by rolling up a 40 to 7 victory. Kansas has played the Buffaloes seven times since 1903 and has lost but one of those series games, that being a 15 to 0 affair in 1905
Lyn Smith and Aubrey Linville, Sikes sophomore ends, turned in top performances in the T. C. U. game Sept. 17 and probably will get the starting call at Boulder. Darrel "Jayhawk" Norris, who starred as end for the Kansans in 1948, also is expected to show his stuff in the pass-snagging department.

Oil World Officials Inspect Federal Demonstration Plant
Rifle, Colo., Sept 23. — (U.P.)—Big names in the oil world arrived in Rifle by the car-load Tuesday for an inspection of the government's oil shale demonstration plant.
Charles Kettering, vice president of General Motors corporation and one of the nation's top engineers, commented that "The entire motor car industry is interested in fuels—the whole field of fuels."
Other officials would not comment on why, they were at the demonstration but they watched the proceedings.
The visitors were here to see actual operations of the techniques which bureau of mines officials say have lowered direct mining costs to less than 33 cents a ton.

Two days ago just about everyone was sure that the Cards "are in" in the National league pennant race but after Brooklyn's Thursday night slaughter everyone is beginning to wonder. The Brooks are only a half game behind the league-leading Cardinals.
Could it be that the Cards are in a last-minute slump. They lost two in a row to the Dodgers, a team they've pushed around all season, in the crucial series which ended at St. Louis Thursday night. And the losses weren't close ones either.
The Cards had a difficult time getting a 1 to 0 victory over Brooklyn in the three-game series opener. Then the inspired Dodgers zoomed back to wallop the Cards 5 to 0 and 19 to 6. Those are two of the Card's worst defeats of the season.
Time, of course, is with Eddie Dyer's crew. So is the schedule. St. Louis has seven games remaining, all with second division clubs. They play the cellar-dwelling Chicago Cubs five times and the sixth-place Pittsburgh Pirates in their other two games. How soft can a schedule get?
The Dodgers, on the other hand are really rolling. But they're going to bump into third-place Philadelphia and fourth-place Boston in their remaining six games. Burt Shotton's eager Dodgers play the Phils in four games and the Braves in the other two. There is little comparison between the schedules. The Dodgers are really going to have to go to win the pennant race. And the Redbirds are really going to have to snap out of it if they expect to tuck away any World Series money.
The American league race is going right down to the wire, too. The high point in that two-way battle is just around the corner. The Yanks hold a two-game bulge over the Boston Red Sox. BUT—the two clubs must meet five times before the regular season closes. That series will undoubtedly decide the American league winner. The Yanks have 10 remaining contests and the Bosox eight.
The Yanks and Red Sox tangle at Fenway park in Boston in single games Saturday and Sunday. Then the two clubs play a lone contest at New York on Monday. They again play at New York on Oct. 1 and 2.
Rifin' Ray Evans, K.U.'s all-American halfback of 1947, had one of the best years of any rookie in the National Football league last year. Evans missed the first three league games due to a rib injury, but he led the Pittsburgh Steelers in total offensive yardage (rushing plus passing) with a total of 1,267 net yards in nine games. Only seven other backs in the entire league had a higher total, and all of them played in the full 12 games. Evans ran or passed for seven touchdowns, completing 64 of 137 passes for 924 yards, ranking ninth in the league, and added 343 yards rushing. His completion percentage was higher than that of either Paul Christman or Fred Enke, although he admittedly had poor pass receivers. In addition he caught seven passes for 93 yards and played great ball on defense. It was definitely a good year for any pro back, rookie or otherwise.
Dyer Criticizes Frick's Selection
St. Louis, Sept. 23—(U.P)—St.
Louis Cardinal manager Eddie
Dyer today charged that National
league president Ford Frick used
"very poor judgment" is assigning
a rookie umpire to the vital Card-
brooklyn Dodger series.
The compass needle points not to the North Pole but to the north magnetic pole of the earth, which is in northern Canada, near the Arctic circle.
But, Dyer added vehemently, not that the 19 to 6 licking suffered by St. Louis Thursday night will prevent his team from winning the National league pennant.
"I want to say this and you can quote me," Dyer said. "I think Frick used very poor judgment in using Lottery Winnings in our novel Lions' Sport. I'm not alibiing since we got the hell beat out of us. But Warneke is just up and simply doesn't qualify for a big job like this one."
Warnke, a former star pitcher for the Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs, was plate umpire in the game Thursday night. He charged 12 walks to the six card pitchers. Catcher Del Rice protested the fourth balls vehemently and eventually was tossed out of the game by Warnke.
