UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIVE
By ANNE MURPHY Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas team and alumni who attended the Missouri-Navy game in Baltimore were told to get out to Babe Ruth Stadium early to watch the midshipmen march in. They warned us this impressive sight might be the best part of the afternoon's program. They were right. It took almost thirty minutes for the 36 platoons of 2,880 men to march in, led by the academy band, with the drum and bugle corp midway in the parade.
The Navy band saluted Missouri by playing the M.U. alma mater, and then played their own alma mater, Navy Blue and Gold, while the midshipmen sang. It gives the crowd quite a thrill.
The Navy goat (not George Sauer), accompanied by two cheerleaders, leads the team on the field and follows the play during the game up and down the sideline.
The Navy team had all the spirit one expects from an academy elevator, but they just did not have the canpower to cope with Faurot's Tigers.
The play of the Missouri line from end to end was outstanding. Mel Sheehan made several beautiful catches of passes thrown by Entsminger and Glorioso. Mike Ghnoully and Howard Bonnett were the stars of the Tiger running attack.
"Pistol" Pete Williams gave the Navy cheering section one of its few chances to let off steam when he gave the third kickoff a 45-yard run back.
The weakness of the Tiger pass defense was very apparent. Even though the passer was usually rushed, the Navy backs completed 14 out of 20. Many of these passes were directly over center.
The Missouri quarterback waits until the last possible second before making his hand off to the runner. Entsinger seemed to wait until he felt a tackler take hold of him. This automatically eliminates as a possible tackler the man who covers him.
The Navy boys were really giv-Entsinger a working over, which tactics didn't set very well with the rest of the Tiger team who got in a few choice licks of their own. All very legal, of course.
There was no doubt as to where sentiment of the Kansas players. They evidently listen to the Jayhawker cheering section, for each time a Navy tackler made a particularly fierce stop, the Jayhawkers hollered "Hit him again, hit him again, harder, harder."
The Kansas coaching staff and some of the players talked with Sauer after the game.
Bob Dawson, Tiger placekicker, who converted five for five, was the epitome of confidence. The tee he used had a tape attached which marked off just the exact yardage he wanted for his two steps into the ball. After he put his toe to the ball, he did not look up, but calmly reached down, picked up the tee, and trotted off the field.
Chicago Museum Presented
Colossal Fossil Collection
The boys kidded Ken Sperry, Kansas placekicking guard, each time the complacent Dawson put in his brief appearance.
Chicago $ ^{0} $ Ill.—(UP)—The University of Chicago has given its collection of several thousand vertebrate fossils to the Chicago Natural History museum. The specimens, some of which date back more than 290,000,000 years, include fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.
No Hooky To Go Fishina
Four 'B' Teams Remain Unbeaten In IM Football
Lincoln, Nebr—(UP)—University of Nebraska students are being offered a fisherman's course in bait and fly casting.
Four "B" teams maintained perfect records and four failed to break into the win column in Monday's intramural touch football games.
The teams to remain undefeated were Sigma Nu, Phi Psi, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Gamma Delta. Sigma Nu defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon 9 to 0; Phi Psi beat Delta Tau 8 to 0; and Beta Theta Pi topped Sigma Chi 6 to 0.
In other games, the Phi Delts were smothered 19 to 6 by the Phi Gams and the Sigma Pi's beat Sigma Phi Epsilon 13 to 0.
The teams that have yet to win their first game are Delta Tau Delta (0-2), Oread (0-3), Sigma Alpha Epsilon (0-3) and Pi Kappa Alpha (0-3).
While the Sigma Nu's rushing line play held the Sig Alphs scoreless, Dick Ashley passed to Kopke for a touchdown and Hedgeworth made the extra point. A Sig Alph touchback gave the Sigma Nu's a 9 to 0 win.
Sparked by an alert pass defense, the Phi Psis won from the Delta Tau, 8 to 0. The touchdown came in the second quarter when Gene Nelson intercepted a Delta Tau pass and ran 20 yards for the score. Jim Davidson's attempt to convert failed.
The final two points came in the fourth quarter when R. C. Harris, Delt center, threw the ball over tailback Malcolm Dryden's head and into the end zone for an automatic safety.
In a hard-fought game. Beta Theta Pi topped Sigma Chi (2-1) from the undefeated ranks, 6 to 0. The only score came on a 20-yard pass from Shelten to Piller.
Oread Hall suffered its third consecutive defeat at the hands of the Silent Men (2-1), 7 to 0. Bob Dunne passed to Harry Scott for the touchdown, and Bob Freeto drop kicked the extra point.
Pi Kappa Alpha lost a close one to Kappa Sigma, 7-6, for its third loss without a victory. The Pi Kap players held a 6-0 advantage going into the fourth and final period, when the Kappa Sigma's slipped a "sleeper" down the sidelines to catch a 20 yard pass from Jay Heisler and tie the game. The game was won by the point-after touchdown.
In the day's highest scoring game, the Phi Gams, led by the accurate passing of Bill Porter, rolled over the Phil Deltis' (2-1) 19 to 6. The Phi Gams' first score resulted from a blocked punt.
A Porter-to-Todd pass accounted for the second tally, and Porter split the uprights for the extra point. The half ended with Porter passing from his own goal line to Bill Binter, who ran 60 yards to score.
The Phi Delts' lone touchdown came in the waning minutes of the game when Ed Marquist tossed a short pass to Jordan Haines in the end zone.
The Sigma Pi (1-2) team scored twice in the second period to down the Sigma Phi Epsilon aggregation (1-1) 13 to 0.
Bob James intercepted a Sig Eg forward pass and scored the first tally. The extra point was kicked by Dale Sharp. A 30-yard pass from Dennis Meade to Pete Kaiser scored Sigma Pi's second touchdown.

Kansas football stock took a sharp drop today when Coach J. V. Sikes announced that Frank Pattete, veteran left halfback and co-captain, would be lost to the club indefinitely because of a fractured jaw.
Pattee's Jaw Is Fractured
A new contest and new prizes every week all through the football season—all for FREE.
The 184-pound Smith Center boy suffered the injury in the George Washington game. He experienced some pain during the weekend and X-rays revealed the crack Monday night.
CARL'S
This means the defending co-champions will be without what many consider their best all-around back against Nebraska here Saturday. Playing his fourth season, Pattee has been the team's leading ground-gainer in the last two games with 140 net yards in 26 efforts. He also pegged a pass to halfback Cliff McDonald for the second tally against George Washington. He has scored three touchdowns in the Jayhawks' first five games. In addition he is an excellent blocker and line-backer and the club's best punter.
Sikes said he hoped to continue to use Pattee as a punter but did not know exactly when he would be able to resume full-scale action.
Sikes is expected to shift Dick Bertuzzi, another four-year veteran, to left half, from his usual right half post, to help take up the slack. Bertuzzi has been playing both sides during the past three games and probably will share duty with Charlie Moffett, a two-letterman, at the spot against the Cornhuskers.
Bertuzzi doubtless will see some action at right half also as Bud French is nursing a sore knee and did not play against George Washington. Bertuzzi and McDonald handled the right side against the Colonials.
'Fireproof' Proved Wrong
Muncie, Ind.—(UP)—A truck loaded with fireproof insulating material caught fire, resulting in damage estimated at $275. The truck pulled up beside the central fire station, where the fire was extinguished.
