The Jayhawkers left the Griffith stadium field in Washington Friday night after the game with the George Washington Colonials knowing they had beaten a good team, a very underrated team, and one that could whip more than half the teams in the Big Seven.
The Colonials had the hardest charging and tackling team the Jayhawkers had met this season in the opinion of Coach J. V. Sikes.
That was the opinion of more than one of the Kansas coaches and officials. They all looked back on the affair and were very happy it turned out so well.
The Kansans obviously were not as highly keyed as their opponents, but they played good football. When the chips were down and their goal line was threatened, they stood their ground.
--utes of the fourth quarter. A fleet-footed Aggie end took a 30-yard pass in the end zone for the deciding tally.
Coach Sikes is an even-tempered, soft spoken Texan and it takes quite a bit to get him riled.
An alumnus on the train up to Baltimore succeeded beautifully when, asked how he liked the name, the alumnus replied. "We should have made more touchdowns."
Sikes was proud of the way his boys fought and it hurt him to think their work was not appreciated.
Too many of us, both alumni and students alike, are apt to fall into thinking that because the team has done so well so far that they are supermen. Remember before the season, when we said we would be happy for two victories?
. .
The field was wet almost to the point of being muddy. The turf was "fast" when the team tried it the day before the game, but someone had the sprinklers out in the interim (it had not trained). Maybe they thought it would slow down the fast Kansas backs they had heard about. Several of the fellows remarked of the mud clogging up their cleats.
The comparatively small crowd of 13,800 who saw the game was rather disappointing to a team with the record of Kansas the last two years. Part of it can be blamed on too much competition. The Duke-Maryland game was scheduled for the same field the next day, and the Washington Redskins returned to Griffith, their home park, for a game with the Philadelphia Eagles Eugleny. The Missouri-Navy game also drew a crowd of Washingtonians.
Veteran Elected;
Too Young To Serve
St. Louis—(UP)—Everett Oesch, 28-year-old war veteran, is going to run again for the school board in suburban Berkeley City when he comes of age politically 2 years from now. He won his race this year but was disqualified by the board president, who cited a law requiring members to be at least 30 years old.
Lawyers, Oread Beta's In Win
Intramural football games continued Oct. 15 in their usual pattern of low scores, and good defensive play. All intramural teams have played at least two games and possible title contenders are beginning to stand out.
The Law school proved itself a strong contender for the division three title of the independent league by winning their second game against the Gushers 12 to 7. The Law school has a record of two wins and no losses, while the Gushers have lost both of their starts.
In the second quarter Lavern Mausolf of the Gushers blocked and recovered a Law school kick in the end zone for the first score of the game. The extra point was converted by John Armstrong. The first law school score came in the third quarter when Jim McRay completed a pass to Loren Watson. The try for the extra point was wide.
McRay of the Law school tossed another touchdown pass to Bernie Nordling with but two minutes remaining in the game. The attempt for the extra point was again wide. A thirty yard pass from Lex Cox to John Gerety in the closing minutes of the game enabled Oread hall to defeat the J.O.'s F.O.'s 6 to 3. Oread hall has a one won, one lost record. The F.O.'s have lost two.
The game was scoreless until the final minutes of the third quarter when Phil Doctor kicked a field goal for the J.O.'s FO's. Oread hall scored a touchdown immediately afterwards to wrap up the game.
A strong Beta Theta Pi “A” team won a hard-played game from the Delta Chi's 12 to 0. The Betas established themselves as a power in the Fraternity league. They have won two and lost none. The Delta Chi's have dropped both of their games.
Bob Schwanzel passed for both Beta touchdowns. Stites caught the ball for the first, and Bill Jones carried a pass over for the second.

K-State Frosh Win 25-19 On Fourth Quarter Pass
Outfought, outgained, and outscored, the Jayhawker freshman football team bowed 25-19 before an alert K-State fresh eleven Saturday night in Manhattan.
Riding along on a one point margin throughout a good share of the game, Coach Replogle's squad saw what looked like certain victory turn- tightly into defeat in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter. A fleet-footed Aggie end took a 30-yard pass in the end zone for the deciding tally.
The Hawks' first score came midway in the opening period after they trailed 6-0. A brilliant 59-yard run by C. T. Murphy put the ball on the K-State 11 and three plays later Dean Wells, halfback, went over from the five. Strehlow's kick was good.
The Aggies struck back in the second quarter to score but missed the extra point and led 12-7. K.U.'s second touchdown came late in the same period, after Wells, Murphy and Bob Brandeberry, fullback, had carried the ball to the Aggie 5. Wells went over left tackle for the touchdown and the Hawks led 13-12 at half time.
Chester Strehlwong's pass to Bill Schaake in the third set up the final touchdown for K.U., as Murphy scored two plays later. The Aggies took to the air and scored again in the third quarter and passed for their winning touchdown with less than four minutes remaining in the game
Starters for K.U. were Schakea Holton, Kennard, Miles, Mercer, Winter, Linville, Murphy, Wells, Drake and Laughlin. Substitutes included: Wright, Rossman, A. Unruh, White, D. Unruh, Strehlow, Wilson, Bowersock, Reade, Mahar, Eskew, Thomas, Brandberry, Hill, Newcombe, Phillips, Wenger, Sandeuf, Raymer, Little, Solari and Vopat.
