Jayhawker 'Spirit' Is Cause For Modrcin's Change To KU
Smooth, slick, and broad-shouldered, 23-year-old "Willie" Modrecn (pronounced Mo-dra-son) told why he left St. Mary's college in favor of of Kansas.
Modrcin explained that he recently suffered football injuries while playing for the California school, and decided to enroll at K.U. now in order to be eligible to play for the Jayhawkers next year.
"If I stayed at St. Marys I'd want to play; I can't stay away from the game," he said. "I wanted to take a rest because I felt pretty run down."
Coach George Sauer recently called Modrcin "a great possibility." Originally from Kansas City, Kan., where he played football for Ward High school, Modrcin is a physical education major.
At St. Mary's he was an understudy for all-American halfback Herman Wedemeyer, the Hawaiian flash. He started for the Pacific squad this year.
"The competitive spirit at K.U makes it hard to earn a position. It will be a big job to make the souad." he said.
Even though he lettered at St Marys last season, the hefty fullback picked Kansas as the school where he wanted to play.
Although he also played baseball and basketball in high school Modricin prefers football, and described the sport as "mv only love."
The former Ward high school standout practiced with the varsity squad during the summer of 1946, and Sauer singled Modrcin out at that time as a potential star.
A go-getter, Modrcin knows what he wants and where he's heading.
"The sooner I can coach, the better I'll feel," he said, but added that he probably wouldn't turn down an attractive pro offer.
Modcrin went to St. Mary's to play because of "pressure" from alumni of the California school. "I was persuaded," he chuckled. "I liked it there, though the football spirit doesn't sparkle as it does here."
At St. Mary's, Modricin carried 19 hours of college work besides his daily three hour football practice. He will not be eligible for Kansas competition until next season.
When asked about his hobbies, Modrcin reverted to his favorite topics of sports in general and football in particular.
"I'm that way about the game,' he said, grinning. "I just can't keep away from it."

Coach Dreams TD For Kansas State
Manhattan, Kan.—(UP) —Kansas State's head football coach credits a dream for seven of the 13 points his Wildcats scored as they bowed to Oklahoma. 13 to 27. Saturday.
Friday night, Coach Francis said he dreamed left halfback Harold Bryan had passed to end Clarence Branch for a touchdown against the Sooners.
Late in the fourth quarter, just as the dream predicted, Atkins lateralled off to Bryan in the flat. As the Sooner secondary moved in for the kill, the halfback leaped into the air and threw a 25-yard strike to Branch on the Oklahoma 20. Branch scampered over for the score standing up.
But Francis told his squad about the dream before the game Saturday and gave quarterback Dana Atkins instructions to let Bryan pass if the situation arose.
The coach was baffled. Bryan, who has led the Big Six in punting throughout the season, hadn't thrown a pass in two years.
Miami. Fla.-UP-Jack Kramer, Dinny Pails and Francisco "Pancho" Segura will all desert the amateur tennis ranks to turn pro in the near future, Gardner Mulloy forecast today.
Pails' recent blast at the Australian Davis Cup team "killed his chances" of further amateur play. Segura recently was married and "needs the money." And Kramer reportedly has agreed to meet Bobby Riggs at Madison Square Garden this winter.
Mulloy, fifth-ranking amateur in the U. S., doubted, however, that Ted Schroeder would go professional.
Kramer, Pails, Segura
To Turn Pro, Says Mulloy
Mulloy justified his predictions this way:
New York—(UP)—Three-year-old Patricia Christiansen fell from a window of her fourth-floor-home and went tumbling through several levels of clotheslines. The lines broke her fall and she was found unhurt in the court yard.

Record Entry Is Expected For IM Cage Season
An all time record of over 100 intramural basketball teams is expected for participation in league play this fall, Jack Greer, intramural secretary, said today.
Entries are being accepted until noon, Nov. 25. Blanks for both "A" and "B" teams may be picked up at the intramural office. There is a limit of 15 men on each team and a 25 cent entry fee for each man. Entries are to be typewritten.
League play will begin the first week in December. Games will be scheduled every night of the school week and on Saturday afternoons. Greer also said that if there were available facilities, there would be a limited "C" team schedule set up
Hunters Say Ducks Are Elusive So Far
Each team is expected to furnish its own equipment, Greer added.
Games will be played in Robinson gymnasium and Robinson annex. These courts are available for one hour practice sessions until the season starts, and reservations may be made at the intramural office. Robinson annex with one court is open from 6 to 10 p.m. daily and the two courts in Robinson gym may be used from 8 to 10 every night except Tuesday. Robinson annex is located across the road from the intramural fields.
"There just aren't many ducks around," said Rod Armstrong, college senior and ardent duck hunter, commenting on the 1947 duck season. Although the five-week season opened at noon, Nov. 4, hunters have reported little success as vet.
Jim Hotchkiss, engineering junior, and Alton Ray, college sophomore, knocked down four teal and two mallards Friday morning. They were hunting on the Kaw River east of Eudora.
Big Six Standings
The Lawrence post office said it was sold out of duck stamps for a while last week. Hunters are required to purchase a federal duck stamp as well as a Kansas hunting license
