UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By ANNE MURPHY Daily Kansan Sports Editor
One fellow who loses weekly on the football parley cards is firmly convinced the wrong people conducted the disastrous political polls. He is sure the football dopesters would not have been thrown by the Republican "big line." He has an empty wallet to back up his argument.
He also wonders if Gilman can now be a little less secretive when pulling the old "bootleg" play.
. . .
The parley boys are giving Oklahoma three points in the game with Missouri tomorrow. That is as good as a touchdown when you have two never-miss place-kickers like Dawson and Ming. This corner would not be too surprised to see the wise boys get fooled this time.
Missouri wants to spoil the Sooner's homecoming to return the 21 to 12 compliment paid them last year in Columbia by Oklahoma. But the Sooners, and particularly quarterback Jack Mitchell, will be out to even with Faurot who, with his spring eligibility coup, cut short Mitchell's college football career by one year.
The Tigers always have trouble with the Sooners even though Coach Bud Wilkinson's club uses practically the same "split-T system" as Faurt teaches. In fact, he learned the secret of the system when he was coaching the quarterbacks and centers for Faurt's Iowa PreFlight's Seahawks in 1943. The Tigers have beaten the Sooners only three times during Faurt's 12-years at Mizzou.
A Sooner victory would be appreciated by Kansas. Then the Jayhawkers' could concentrate on defeating Oklahoma on Kansas' home turf and be assured of at least a tie for the title regardless of the outcome of the game with Missouri in Columbia.
--the first quarterback to take on the first string job without a minute's varsity experience.
While the Big Seven "favorites" get ready to fight it out in the so-called game of the year, the Kansas Jayhawkers, who should not even bother to play the last two games according to the experts, go on practicing like fiends. The last two evenings Sikes had the fellows working on tricky new pass formations which may go a long wayward balancing the Tiger andigner running attacks.
People continue to call the Jayhawkers lucky. Maybe they are. They are lucky to have the finest coaching staff in Kansas history and one of the most spirited bunch of fellows ever gathered together. They may lose a couple of ball games, but Kansas fans won't be ashamed of them.
Their fourth quarter defensive stand, which cut short the powerful Aggie drive on the Kansas 20-yard line, certainly was not luck. Dame Chance is no substitute for a determined lineman.
If ever a team should have a psychological advantage, Kansas should have it in the Thanksgiving game in Columbia. Fambrough, Small, Hogan, Scott, Sherwood, and Mace, may determine what happens on that gridiron more than if they were actually suited up.
One last word before signing off as sports editor—
--the first quarterback to take on the first string job without a minute's varsity experience.
You fellows have been swell in tolerating a "mere girl" in this man's game. It has been fun. While I still can't get in the press box, there are places I can get in to which most of the boys in the press would give anything for a pass.
If you run across a headline in the next; few weeks like "Exams Throw Student for a Loss," you will know Murphy has not become completely reoriented—nor caught up on her lesson assignments.
2-Milers Face Tough Foe In MU's McGuire
Read the Daily Kansan daily.
Columbia track fans will get a pre-view of the individual fight for the Big Seven two-mile championship at 11 a.m. tomorrow when Kansas and Missouri distance men meet on the Tiger track.
This race will bring three of the league's top distance runners, Bob Karnes and Hal Hinchee of Kansas, and M.U.'s Bli McGuire, together for the first time this season. Karnes, who added the National Junior AAU 10,000 meter title to his Big Seven mile and two mile crowns last summer, and Hinchee, recorded the lowest time of the season, 9:35.8, as the Jayhawkers defeated Colorado here the past Saturday, 12 to 26.
McGuire in 9:37.4 against Iowa State to whip another conference top-fighter, Gene Shaver, two weeks ago. His meeting with the Kansas pair Saturday and next week at the conference meet in Manhattan will provide the most interesting chapter of the fall track season.
Both teams are undefeated. In addition to Colorado, Bill Easton's defending champions have downed Nebraska, 10 to 30, and Kansas State, 11 to 28. The Tigers defeated Iowa State, 17 to 20, and Nebraska, 12 to 24.
Elwyn Dees, '35, has resigned as trainer of the University of Nebraska after 10 years service. He intends to farm in Kansas after Jan. 1, when his resignation is effective. Mr. Dees was a football and track star while at the University.
Dees Will Leave NU Post
MU Favored By 8 Points
Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 5 — (UP)— The fuse that will set off the Big Seven conference football bomb has been sputtering for six weeks, but it will make contact with the explosive tomorrow when Missouri and Oklahoma risk their unsilled records at Norman.
The largest crowd ever to see a game in Norman, perhaps 38,000 persons, will jam the stands by the 2:30 kickoff time. It will be homecoming for Oklahoma and among the spectators will be Gov. Roy Turner, who will be celebrating his birthday anniversary at the game.
It's the game of the year in the conference and most of the experts are predicting the winner will move on unmolested to the championship and a likely bowl invitation.
The odds-makers doubt that the Governor will receive a birthday gift in the form of an Oklahoma victory. Most of the men who lay the figures are quoting Missouri an eight-point favorite, probably because the golden-garbed Tigers rose to heights once in smashing the brilliant Doak Walker and Southern Methodist, Southwest conference champions. Having reached such a pinnacle once they believe Don Faurot's power-laden athletes can do it again.
The only other Big Seven conference game Saturday, hapless Kansas State will be trying for its first league victory against tough Nebraska at Lincoln. Kansas has no engagement and the other two conference elevens meet non-league opponents. Colorado will take on Utah State at Boulder, and Iowa State will clash with Drake at Ames.

Meet The 1948 Jayhawkers
Wilson—Future KU Star
DON WILSON
--the first quarterback to take on the first string job without a minute's varsity experience.
Don Wilson, all-around athlete from Wyandotte High school, is coach J. V. Sikes No. 2 quarterback although he is only a sophomore. Early in the season, before Dick Gill m a n came through," it looked like 19-year old Wilson would be
So far this season, Wilson has played only on the offensive. He is an accurate passer, particularly at the shorter distances.
Coach Sikes' is more pleased with the way it has turned out perhaps than is Wilson, for he wants to bring the promising signal caller along slowly. Sikes figures it will pay off dividends to the team in the future if his development is not rushed.
While at Wyandotte High school, Wilson lettered four years in football, and three years in basketball and baseball. He was all-state quarterback for two years and captain of the all-state team his senior year. Only two of his passes were intercepted during his four years at Wyandotte.
Wilson has played Ban Johnson baseball. Two years ago he played on the Goldman in Kansas City, and since has played for a Slater, Mo., team.
The 170-pound, 5 foot $10.12 \frac{1}{4}$ sophomore, is a pre-business major. He hopes to be either a coach or to run a sporting goods business.

1906 Mass.
Both clubs will be seeking their first victories of the year, having dropped their openers to Kansas State and St. Louis, last month. The young Wildcats clipped KU., 25 to 19, while the first-year Billikens were scoring a 13 to 7 victory.
Coach Wayne Replogle will start a Jayhawker line averaging 190 pounds a man from end to end, or one pound larger than the Kansas varsity line. Coach Tom Botts' young Tiger forwards will come in at 194% pounds a man.
Admission will be $1.00 for adults, 50c for school children. Students will be admitted on their activity books. It will be the final game of the year for both teams.
