UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 22, 1948
With a surprisingly strong showing against T.C.U. behind them, the Jayhawkers are not looking ahead—ahead of Friday's game with the Denver Pioneers. They can't afford to. For if advance information is correct, the Pioneers will be stronger than Texas Christian. Their line is as big and their backs are fast, say those who have seen this year's eleven, which lacks only two regulars from last year's hot and cold squad.
Friday night's game is the last one under the present contract. Kansas will be after its fifth win against two losses and one tie. Although the Jayhawkers have won the last three games of the series, none of them have been by very safe margins. In fact, in total points for the seven games the Pioneers have outscored the Jayhawkers 94 to 83.
The game last year was strictly a defensive battle with the Jayhawkers unable to score until seven seconds of the end of the first half when quarterback Lynn McNutt hit Otto Schnellbacher in the end zone with a touchdown aerial. Guard Joe Crawford blocked a punt for the other two points. Ray Evans sat the game out with a knee injury suffered in the T.C.U. opener.
A note from Earl Heath, '21, had these rather interesting comments about last Saturday's game:
"Here's the way the game looked to me. The 'Big 7-eleven' combination was one point better. The 'Big 7 being of course the faculty committee and the 'Eleven being maschusetts Charity 38 men plus the 7 'men-of-letters' proved a little too tough in the opener.
"The work of, or the part the Big 7 played in the game was really outstanding. Their timing was perfect (decision after spring practice). Their 'off the field blocking' could not have been improved because they knocked four good K.U. boys out of every play."
Not to be outdone by their past performances, the Faculty committee has voted to allow the games played by Colorado to count in the conference championship. Since Colorado has no game with Oklahoma, if Missouri ends up with a 5 won and 1 lost record and Oklahoma with a 4 and 1 record, the Tigers would get the title because of having played more games. Something tells me that if things turn out this way, the conference will have another unhappy member who resents getting a rooking, and this time it won't be Kansas.
Nichts! Das Ist Verboten;
US Zone Under German Law
Frankfurt — (UP) — An American citizen in a legal scrape here is obliged—whether he likes it or not—to depend upon German law to protect him, even before an American court.
That's exactly what an American wife found out when she was convicted of assault to commit murder. Furthermore, it was discovered that an American defendant virtually is forced to hire a German attorney to defend him.
Both army officers and civilian employees get into hot water with military government regulations if they offer to take a job as a defense counsel. Officers can do so only with approval of their superior officers or by court appointment. But they cannot be paid.
Geiger Counter Used To Find Professor's Lost Watch
Omaha, Neb..-(UP) — A Geiger counter may be as useful to the absent-minded professor as it is to a prospector for uranium ore.
Kerneth Morton, University of Omaha physics student, demonstrated the possibility of finding the wrist watch misplaced by John G. McMillan, assistant physics professor.
Morton, who designed and built a Geiger counter for the university, claimed it was so sensitive it would react even to the small amount of radium on the dial of a watch.
New York, Sept. 22—(UP)—The Boston Braves, who needed a miracle to win the National league pennant in 1914, needed only one victory and a Dogger defeat to win the flag today.
Braves Virtually Cinch NL Pennant With 2 Wins
Only a slight case of mathematics separated Billy Southworth's Braves from the flag after they swept a doubleheader from the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday, 11 to 3 and 4 to 0, while $\textcircled{8}$ Brooklyn, dropped two games to 1
Brooklyn dropped two games to Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn, 12 to 1 in the playoff of a protested game of Aug. 25 and then beat the Dodgers again 6 to 3 in a regulation game.
Boston, sporting seven-and-a-half-game lead, has nine games to play, the same number as Brooklyn. Either two Boston victories or two Brooklyn defeats also will give the Braves their first senior circuit title in 34 years.
Boston Red Sox increased their American league lead to a full game over the idle Cleveland Indians by thrashing the Detroit Tigers, 10 to 2.
Johnny Sain registered his 22nd victory of the year in the opener and sixth triumph in succession.
The New York Giants won the first game of a day-night double-header by beating the Chicago Cubs, 3 to 2 on Johnny Mize's three-run run, 38th of the year in 10 games. Chicago lost by winning the night-cap, 3 to 2, on Andy Pfako's three-run homer in the ninth.
In another day-night doubleheader, Cincinnati beat the Phillies 6 to 5 in the first game while Philadelphia took the second game 6 to 1.
K-State To Play Over Illini Heads
Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 22-(UP) —Kansas State college today halted contact work until after its game Saturday with Illinois at Champaign.
Coach Ralph Graham indicated K-State will pitch "plenty of passes" against the Illini.
Harold Nevius and Dana Atkins did most of the passing in yesterday.
It was considered unlikely that Gene Gill, galloping Halfback, would make the Champaign trip because of an ailing hip. The rest of the squad, however, is in good shape for K-State's 1948 opener, Graham said.
Ottawa was made the capital of Canada in 1858.
Cerdan New King Of Middleweights
Jersey City, N.J., Sept. 22—(UP)—Marcel Cerdan, the French slugger who wrestled the world middleweight championship from veteran Tony Zale, was willing today to give the ex-champ a return shot at the title in June, unless Zale retires because of last night's beating.
The stocky, black-haired, gold-toothed Frenchman from Morocco gave 34-year-old Zale such a thorough battering that the semiconscious "Steel Man" from Gary, Ind., was unable to come out for the 12th round.
Near the end of their 11th session, Cerdan was giving his exhausted opponent a severe beating against the ropes. Almost simultaneous with the bell, a flashing left hook exploded on Zale's chin. He wilted to the canvas on his knees. His handlers rushed out and half-dragged Tony to his corner.
His managers told Referee Paul Cavalier that Zale was unable to continue.
Cegan, idol of France, will visit in Paris for two months and then return to the United States for a probable non-title bout with ex-champ Graziano.
Negro Fighter Dies Of Injuries
Philadelphia, Sept. 22—(UP)—Bill "Chicken" Thompson, Negro heavy-weight, today was listed as the 11th boxer and seventh American to die of injuries received in the ring this year.
Thompson, 21-year-old Philadelphia phi fighter, died last night at Temple university hospital where he had lain unconscious since being knocked out in a bout last Thursday night by Johnny Haynes.
The largest Swiss cheese factory in the country is located at Milledgeville, Ill.

New York, Sept. 21—(UP)—An apologetic gunman who promised to repay money he stole in a holdup was caught by police today.
Heel With Soul Robs Cigar Shop
The polite robber entered a cigar store Monday, produced a gun, and asked the proprietor to kindly open the cash register.
"Sorry about this, but I've been having a lot of bad luck," he said regretfully, as he scooped up $195. "I'll try to repay you as soon as possible."
