Dominoes Beat KHK, 6 to 0
A 20-yard pass from Bill Bowy to Corber with 15 seconds remaining in the game gave the Galloping Dominos a 6 to 0 victory over Kappa Eta Kappa. It was a defensive battle all the way with both teams intercepting a lot of passes.
Gushers Edge Spooner-Thayer
The Gushers took an early lead with Ed Beins passing to Dayle Green and Armstrong for first quarter touchdowns and went on to edge the Spooner Thaylers 12 to 7.

Y. M.C.A. won a tight defensive game by defeating Oread hall 1 to 0 in an overtime playoff. Y.M.C.A. advanced the ball five yards in four plays and then held Oread to no gain in the overtime. Both teams threatened to score during the regular playing time, but the defensive team tightened to take over on downs. There were no long gains made by either team.

Battenfeld hall remained unde- feated by turning back the Tired Old Men 13 to 0. In the second quarter Don Cowan passed to Norman Bell, who cut into the clear and fell on the 10-yard line. Cowan then passed to Bob Casad for the touchdown Joe McCaugh intercepted a Tired Old Men pass early in the third quarter and raced 30 yards to score. Roger Davis booted the extra point.
Don Cowan, whose passing was an important factor in the victory, was injured in the third quarter. Doctors said the cartilage was twisted out of
place in his right knee. His loss could be a blow to Battenfeld hopes for an undefeated season.
JQ's FO's Roll Over ISA

The scoring was completed when Sheley hit Medill with a 30-ward pass in the end zone.
Kappa Psi Forfeits
Phi Kappa Tau won by a forfeit, 1 to 0, over Kappa Psi.
German Students Face Rocky Road
Students in Germany must work hard to pay their way through a university, Clemens Cunniek, College sophomore, told the German club recently.
Cunnick saw these conditions during a summer vacation in southern Germany visiting his father, who is stationed with the American occupational forces in Munich.
Many American students are attending Heidelberg university, which was not damaged as badly as the one in Munich.
"There were many students at the University of Munich before the value of the German mark was changed. Now there are few," Cunnick said.
Cunnick explained that in Germany persons living in small towns and villages have more clothing and food than those in larger cities. Most of the German people buy on the "black market," he added. Everything from cars to cigarettes is sold at inflated prices.
Meet The 1948 Jayhawkers-
Amberg-Defensive Demon
John Amberg,
a hard tackling
fullback, is proving
himself an out-
standing defensive
back in his first
year of varsity
play for the Jay-
hawkers. In his
own words he
"likes to back up
the line."
JOHN AMBERG When given the chance he h a s proven himself capable on the offense. In the George Washington game he sparked an offensive drive with consistent line bursting which carried the Jayhawkers to within 11 yards of a touchdown. Another drive which he started with a 20-yard pass to Bryan Sperry ended in a touchdown.
At Shawnee-Mission High school in Johnson county, Amberg received letters four years in football, four years in track, and three years in basketball, giving him a total of 11 letters. He was all-conference in both football and basketball his junior and senior years. In his senior year he made second team all-state in football and basketball.
Special Prices: to organized teams.
Amberg's other sports interests at the University is basketball. He played guard on the freshman squad last year.
He is 19 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs 178 pounds. He is a sophomore and is taking a prebusiness course. His home is in Kansas City, Kan.

The excitable Southwest, where football is serious business, led the way with a 15 per cent increase. The only section of the nation to show a decrease was the Pacific coast where attendance was off 16 per cent from last year.
During summer vacations, he has spent some time as a boy's camp counselor in Colorado.
All of the other sections showed increases. In the Midwest the gain was 8 per cent, while in the East there was a 5 per cent increase. The Rockies showed a 4 1-2 per cent gain, and in the South crowds were up 2 per cent.
KIRKPATRICK'S
Grid Crowds At KU Up 58 Per Cent
The biggest gain in attendance by any school was at Michigan State where the 1948 attendance for three home games was 118,134 as against 75,102 for the same number of games a year ago—an increase of 43,032. Going in for big time intersectional football, school authorities increased the capacity of State's stadium from 27,000 to 50,126 which explains the big gain.
