Kansas Meets Denver In Grid Battle Tonight
The Kansas Jayhawkers will face one of their toughest grid opponents of the season when they tangle with the Denver university eleven tonight at 9 C.S.T. in the Mile-high city.
The Pioneers will be fighting desperately to even the series as it is the last game of the present contract while the lightweight Kansans will
The Pioneers will be fighting the last game of the present contract be attempting to rack up their fourth consecutive victory over the mountain club.
"They are an awful tough team, and we will be happy to win by one point," Coach J. V. Sikes remarked concerning the Ploneers. He added that they were highly inspired for this game and that although they were a heavy team, they were faster than the T.C.U. team that edged out Kansas 14 to 13 here last week.
Coach Baker will trot cut one of the heaviest squads in the nation against the pint-sized Jayhawkers. It is regarded as one of the best teams in the mountain area, and they proved it by thumping Colorado Mines 33 to 0 last week end.
Coach Sikes used the Crimson and Blue squad through a light workout under the lights at Haskell stadium before boarding the train for Denver. The practice consisted of a few defensive plays and a few pesses. After the session the boys were given a dinner at the Eldridge hotel, where they remained until train time.
The Jayhawkers were given a rousing send-off by over 2,000 fans in a spirited rally at the Union Pacific station. More students and Lawrence partisans were on hand for the rally than there were to see President Truman less than a week ago.
Freshman Coach Wayne Replogle, who scouted the Denver team stated, "It is a typical Denver team, their players are rugged, rough, fast and in fine condition. Also, they are two or three deep at every position. It's the hardest charging unit I have seen in some time."
The Pioneers are bolstered by three boys that any team in the nation would be proud to have on their roster. Andy Pavich, a 200-pound triple-threater, chalked up all-conference honors in the full back sloth last year and is expected to repeat again this season. Miniature 180-pound Joe Cribari, who returned an intercepted pass 70 yards to score against Kansas in 1943, is battling for his third all-star rating. The Denver team also boasts an All-American transfer from Notre Dame in Franklin Ellis.
In the seven-game series, Kansas has racked up three victories while Denver has the first two contests on her side of the ledger. The third tilt was a 14-to-14 tie in 1944.

Prior to the Jayhawkers' first appearance against T.C.U., the major worry at Lawrence was the location of a capable quarterback for Sikes' T-formation attack. Dick Gilman, a veteran, gave a commendable performance against T.C.U.
Coach J. V. Sikes likes Gilman's passing, but he'll experiment with two sets of wings against the rugged, rough and fast Denver team, hopeful of uncovering capable receivers.
Aggies Hope To End Old Streak
Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 24-(UP) One of the youngest of U.S. football teams set out today to end the oldest major team losing streak in the land.
Kansas State, with a brand new coach and its roster dominated by sophomores, has high hopes of ending a string of 26 consecutive gridiron defeats.
That's a goal for sometime during the season. Coach Ralph Graham who had a winner last year at Wichita feels the speedy, high-spirited—but comparatively inex- perienced—team will take at least two of its ten games. Graham has only four seniors on a squad of 58 men.
As the Wildcats took off for a flying trip to Champaign to do battle with the University of Illinois, oddsmakers gave them little chance to snap the long list of drubbings in the 1948 opener. Illinois was favored by 35 to 40 points.
Graham, who told the homefolks his youngsters would be "trying to win every game, not just satisfied to make a good appearance," termed the odds ridiculous.
