With All But 2 Men Back Watch Rupp's 1949 Wildcats
several weeks' vacation in the Rocky Mountains plus the prospect of the successful basketball season left Adolph Rupp, University of nuchky, coach and Kansas graduate, in a genial mood as he stopped in wrence yesterday for a visit before returning to Louisville, Ky. Rupp headed for Colorado to rest immediately upon his return to New
ark Aug. 27 from the Olympic museums in London. "I lost 22 pounds tile with the team in England," he said. "It was a combination of the scarcity of food and the responsibility."
He has regained 20 of the lost funds. As he leaned back in Dr. C. Allen's swivel chair, he appeared a good insurance company k.
Until the past weekend in Denver, Rupp hadn't seen a Jayhawker otball team in action since 1922. Was in the winter of 1922-23 that upp starred as guard on Kansas' victorious basketball quintet. He to the University from Halad as a freshman in 1919, Dr. F. Allen's first year at Kansas.
Rupp will lose only Rollins and Island from last year's national allegiate champion Kentucky team which he very modestly calls "one the greatest college aggregations all time."
The former Jayhawkwer would not take any championship predictions the coming season because he inted out the Kentucky schedule cludes one or more games with even of the first 12 ranking teams the nation. He believes Tulane Georgia Tech will be the long contenders for the Wilds crown in league play.
Also, there is All-America Ralph card's bad leg which had bothered him for two years. Coach Rupp is not too sure of the great little plays' future on the hardwood.
Alex Groza, 6 foot 9 inch All-merica center, and Beard, are tied by their coach as the bestayers he has turned out in many cars. They were two of the five童ucky boys who played on the Olympic champion squad along eight five Phillips Oiler and four allege and A.A.U. stars.
Although they met the Phillips am in four bitterly contestedmes in the United States, they ere close friends before reachingmand Rupp remarked. "I ere also slew in the guest
The one close call in the quest or the Olympic title was the game with Argentina in which the South Americans were leading by a dozen or more points at the half. "We made that game difficult," Rupp said. "Bud Browning and I didn't bother to scout their team so you couldn't blame our boys for being a little overconfident. In cutting the arm to the 10-man limit, we had Bob Kurland, Beard, Jesse Renick, and Don Barksdale, sitting in one stand."
In commenting on tall players in the game today, Rupp said he believed that if you penalized a tall player for being tall, you should penalize a small player for being as well. "We've made quite a few restrictions against the tall boys in the rules already," he added.
He pointed out that although the Olympic rules still allowed goal ending, the United States tried to get the rule changed before competition began. The rules committee failed to act, but the Americans did not use a goal tender.
A prize bit of irony came out of
Single Wing Best Carl Snavely Says
New York, Sept. 29—(UP)—He's a horse and buggy football coach but he's got the figures to show that he can get more mileage out of his old fashioned single wing offense than most top flight teams are getting with that "nun fangled T."
His greatest enemy is complacency and he is convinced that his boys scored the upset of the season to date simply because they were "all fired up."
He's tall, gray Carl Snively of the North Carolina Tarheels, whose 34 to 7 victory over Texas makes them a good long range bet to play in the Sugar Bowl next New Year's day. But the 54-year-old Pennsylvanian wants no part of any such conversation.
"Our triumph over Texas was a victory for the single wing against the T," he said. "Despite all this rage for the T, the single wing is a definitely superior offensive formation. I have the figures to prove that a good single wing team will outscore a good T-formation team every season."
"Undefeated season," he scoffed. "We got a few bridges to cross before we start talking about that. Georgia is our current bridge next Saturday afternoon.
The teams he coaches also are excellent defensive outfits. In preparation for the game with the Longhorns he drilled the boys on eight or nine different defensive formations. Finally giving up on all of them he went back to his favorite which is a five or six man slightly overshifted line. That did the trick since Texas, with a highly heralded offense, could gain only 38 yards on the ground.
St. Louis, Sept. 29—(UP)—St. Louis Cardinal Manager Eddie Dyer was assured today of another two years on his job.
Dyer Inks 2-year Contract With St. Louis Cardinals
Cardinal President Robert E. Hannegan announced that he and Dyer have come to terms in discussions over a new contract to replace the one-year contract Dyer held this year.
the International Rules committee meeting when a motion for limiting the height of players to 6 feet 1.7 inches was about to be pushed through over the United States' opposition.
"I got the surprise of my life when the Russian representative rose to oppose the motion on the ground that it 'was discriminatory and not democratic.'" The only thing I can figure is that they must have some big boys back of the Urals," Rupp laughed.
