The Jayhawkers could do well to spend a lot of time developing a placement kicker with an automatic toe. Sperry's 4 to 6 Saturday showed promise. He would have 5 out of 6 if a holding penalty hadn't set them back to the 17. But Sikes could use someone who could boot them from a distance. Les Ming, huge Oklahoma substitute fullback has an 8 for 8 record this year on points after touchdown. You just can't beat that.
The play of some of the second and third string backs Saturday pleased Jayhawker fans. Speedy Cliff MacDonald who did some beautiful open field running had the best average of any back. He carried the ball five times for 38 yards and a 7-2-5 average.
John Amberg, the sophomore fullback, is giving all-conference Forrest Griffith a battle for top fullback honors. He is a demon on defense. He averaged $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards in eight attempts and made a neat diving tackle of a Buffalo who had taken a kickoff on his 15-ward line.
Griffith averaged $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards a trip for 13 carries, French gained $5\frac{1}{2}$ pos attempt in 6 tries, losing his first yardage in two years, and Patce lugged the ball 12 times for a 3-yard average.
Fisher, the 126-pound ball of fire carried the ball once for 14 yards. Mallon and Stinson averaged better than 5 yards per try in 3 carriers, and Temple carried the ball three times for 12 yards.
Gilman continued the phenomenal touchdown pass record. He has completed six passes for scores in the past two games. Although his 583 completion average Saturday wasn't world shaking, the 17-yard average per pass for 7 passes completed in 12 attempts doesn't leave much for a coach to desire. "All on nothing at all" seems to be his motto when he lets sail the football.
Sikes policy of letting all the men possible get in the game is heartily approved by most persons who like to see the boys who do most of their sweating on the practice field earn letters. It will pay off in admirers for the coach and experienced football players when the present seniors are gone.
Dr. Franklin, Colorado faculty committee representative who is on a leave of absence this year and who initiated the "reinterpretation" ruling last spring, probably felt like. wiring the Colorado team after the game Saturday: "I am sorry players, I did my best."
Before the Big Seven season started, the experts predicted that Colorado was still two years off in her rebuilding program before she could hope to meet the new conference standards. They were certainly right. After the brief opening flurry which was mainly the result their being "fired up" for the conference opener, the Buffalos didn't belong on the same field with the Kansans as far as good fundamental football playing was concerned. The
Must Be Improved To Beat Iowa State, Sikes Declares
Coach J. V. Sikes said that the Jayhawkers will have to be better to beat Iowa State this weekend than they were in the game Saturday with the Buffalos. Although the boys played well in the second half of the Colorado tilt, Coach Sikes felt that the team played too loosely in the opening stanzas.
In commenting on the game Coac, Sikes stated, "Colorado was tough early and they outplayed us in the first quarter. They played hard all the time. In the past part of the game, both teams played the third and fourth strings."
"We will have to be better than that to beat Iowa State. The boys were not satisfied with their play, Our passing was good and we ran well, but our defense could be a lot better," he added.
Coach Kinsey, who scouted the Iowa State team, said that the Cyclones were good. He believes that the Jayhawkers will have a tough time beating the Cyclones, who operate from a "T" are good runners and a "G" are good tack. They are big.rany fellows and are faster than the Kansas team.
Coach Sikes said that he would work the boys harder this week than at any time since before the season opener with Texas Christian. The hardest workout will be Tuesday and Wednesday. The practice sessions will feature a lot of running.
Coach Sikes stated that the team will leave for the Iowa State game at 7 a.m. Friday. They will arrive in Des Moines about 1 p.m. and spend the night there before going to Ames on Saturday for the game. It is about 30 miles from Des Moines to Ames.
Faculty Offered Periods In Gym
Gym periods for faculty members will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. twice weekly in Robinson gymnasium, Don Henry, physical education instructor, said Thursday. Volleyball will be the most strenuous sport, with badminton, shuffleboard and aerial darts also on the agenda. Participation is voluntary.
Jayhawker third and fourth stringers might have handily disposed of the Colorado boys.
IM Football Starts Today
Dust will fly on the intramural fields today with the fraternity league starting off the annual competition in touch football.
Fifty-six teams, with 672 men,
have registered with the intramural
office, 107 Robinson, Jack R. Gree,
intramurals secretary, said today.
Last year there were 52 teams and
over 800 men competing.
Independent "A" teams will start their league activities Tuesday, and the fraternity "B" league will begin Thursday. "Breer said."
Size of teams will be limited to eight men again this year. To prevent injuries, the clear pass, no cross body blocking, and one handed touch rules are still in effect.
There are two "A" team leagues this year, the independent and fraternity. Each league is further subdivided into four divisions, with from four to six teams represented in each. There is a total of 42 teams in the "A" leagues.
In the case of six team divisions, a round-robin will be played, with the first two teams in each division represented in the playoffs in November. Four team divisions will play return matches with each other within the division because of fewer teams represented.
There will be one "B" league, with 14 teams entered, Greer said. This league is also sub-divided into four divisions, with the first two divisions off in November for the "B" league championship, Greer said.
Sigma Chi won the championship last season in the "A" leagues. Phi Psi took "B" league honors.
There will be eight intramural fields in use this season, all of them south of the campus. They are numbered in consecutive order from east to west.

WEBB HALBERT, one of the Big Seven's most polished backs, scored two of Iowa State's three touchdowns in the Cyclone's 20-0 victory over hapless Kansas State. This junior left half will give the Jayhawkers a run for their money at Ames Saturday.

About Personal Problems
Chicago — (UP) — The American Library association says its annual survey of the nation's reading trends reveals that books about personal problems were the most popular in 1947. Doctors often prescribed such books on prescription blanks as they would a drug or a sedative. Books on atomic energy were in little demand.
