TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1947
BY PAUL.ZEH Assistant Sports Editor
The pulses of Jayhawker fans have finally returned to normal after those final minutes of desperation football at Lincoln Saturday, and the sideline quarterback are turning their sights on next week's tussle with the A. and M. Cowboys at Stillwater, Okla.
George Sauer's undefeated performers will be the favorites on this trip to Oklahoma, the first time a Sauer-coached team has been given that concession against an eleven from the Sooner state. Tulsa, A. and M., and Oklahoma were all favored over the Hawkers last year. . . but only the Hurricanes came out on top. The Sooners were given the edge again this year, but had to fight for a tie.
After these showings the Jayhawkers deserve the respect of football fans to the south of us.
***
The Cowboys from Stillwater have won three and lost five this year. Last week they bowed to Tulsa, 13 to 0, the defeat sinking them to the cellar in the Missouri Valley conference. Their worst showing was against the Drake Bulldogs, who topped them, 13 to 9. Their best showing was against Temple, whom they upset, 26 to 0, two weeks ago.
This season record indicates that the Cowpokes are not as strong as they were in 1946, and when we use the comparative score method the Jayhawkers begin to look like hands-down favorites to walk away. Denver, which lost to Kansas by a 9-0 count, topped the Cowbys by 12 points, giving the locals a 21-point advantage.
Using Drake and Iowa State in the comparison, we get the idea that the Hawkers are more than 50 points better than A. and M. It's this way. Iowa State, a 7 to 27 loser to Kansas, topped the Drake Bulldogs Saturday by 30 points, giving the men of Sauer a 50-point edge over Drake. AND A. and M. lost to the Bulldogs.
If Kansas State is used in the comparison the Cowpokes are only 43-point underdogs, since they trimmed the Wildcats, 12 to 0, in their opening game.
--in TECHNICOLOR!
Comparative scores are great fun, but their importance melts like so much snow on a stove when the game begins. Mental attitude plays too great a part in today's football, and such factors as injuries, the weather, and peculiar styles of play all help to determine the final score.
What possessed the Jayhawkers to run up a 55 to 0 count on the Wildcats, who rose up against the Sooners a week later to score twice and hold the Oklahlomans to 27 point.?
What ailed the Nebraska Cornhusker two weeks ago at Columbia, Mo. when they fell before the Tigers, 6 to 47, then bore into the Kansas eleven a week later like they were supposed to win?
You never can tell . . . and those who play the parLAYS will substantiate this. The Cowboys might reverse last year's upset against the Jay-hawkers. They are playing on their home field, and proved they are capable of playing brilliant football by bowing to Southern Methodist, the Southwest's best, 14 to 21. But if they turn the trick next week, it will be listed as one of the seasons big upsets.
Free Substitution To Be Changed, Says Phelan
-
San Francisco— (UF) —The current "free substitution" rule in football will be modified or drastically changed at the next meeting of the rules committee, Jimmy Phelan of St. Mary's college predicts.
The change will be made to give the game back to the players and prevent coaches from masterminding by sending in a new quarterback on every play, he said.
Red Barber Will Cover KU-MU Game For CBS
For the first time in the history of the Kansas-Missouri football series will be broadcast over a national radio hookup.
Walter "Red" Barber, sports director of the Columbia Broadcasting System and 1947 World Series sportcaster, will send his play-by-play account of the contest Nov. 22 over approximately 150 network stations from coast to coast
The game broadcast will orginate from KMBC in Kansas City, the C. B. S. outlet for this area.
An "Americana" broadcast, featuring information on Kansas people and industries will also be broadcast Nov. 21 and 22, Karl Koerper, K. U. 22, director of station KMBC said
The Americana broadcast will be a 15-minute program beginning at 5:30 p. m. Friday afternoon, and Barber will give highlights and local color of the homecoming celebration and will tell something about Kansas and Kansas people.
The network will alternate the Kansas - Missouri broadcast with play-by-play accounts of the Indiana-Purdue game, but as the Big Nine game is played in an earlier time zone, most of the broadcast time will be devoted to the local contest.
Barber apparently is a backer of the idea that the Big Six area has been neglected by radio networks. In a wire to Koeper, Barber said that he believed network microphones should be taken to all parts of the country for football games and also to tell about the people and industries of that section.
The game broadcast will begin at 1:45 p.m.
"The gazelle boy is running for Kansas," the announcer said.
Coach Easton Gets Long-Distance Job
Sound preposterous? Maybe not. If news of the Jayhawk track team and the fine job track coach Bill Easton is doing can attract students from Egypt, anything is possible.
Think that is a long way to come just to learn to run around in circles? Don't worry about it. This latest enrollee in "Track and Field Athletics" will be instructed by Coach Eastman, but will remain in Egypt. It isn't done with mirrors, but by correspondence study.
Ivan Stephan Psiachis is the student's name. He's from Alexandria, Egypt, and he attended St. Marc's college there. His present occupation is boxing trainer and owner of a physiotherapy institute. For 10 years he served as athletic trainer for the Alexandria City Police force.
In listing his athletic experience, Mr. P胁ichis says he has held the Egyptian shot put record since 1936. Also, he represented Greece as a light-heavyweight boxer in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, and in other international competition many times.
"To complete my knowledge in the matter and to obtain an official diploma," is his reason for taking the course. Since Mr. Psiachis doesn't have access to a very good library, Coach Easton has complied a list of reference material for him
FM In Future For KFKU Station
"If television comes to the University it would be, at the outset something of interest to the electrical engineering department," Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, said.
"At present KFKU is concerned with improving the quality of radio programs and with the possibility of installing FM." Dean Stockton said. FM is a device for frequency modulation to eliminate static.
"To improve what we're now doing we have improved equipment and if it is practicable we will extend our broadcast time," Mr. Stockton said.

Mexican Baseball Head Says Hands Off' If For U.S., Tog
Mexico City, —(UP)— The Mexican baseball league insisted today that its proposed truce with the U. S. leagues must be a two-way proposition.
Aguilar Reyes, who promised no more raids on American and National league talent when he took over direction of the league, said that the assurance would be forgiven if U. S. teams attempt to sign players under contract here.
