UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE.KANSAS
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1947
BY JIM RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Football has been the direct cause of death for 15 persons this season. Ten high school players; one college player; one sandlot player; two athletic club players; and one official died as the result of football injuries. Nine of the deaths were caused by head injuries.
Bob O'Brien, who withdrew from the University to play professional basketball, was held to three points by a St. Joseph, Mo. professional team. O'Brien plays for a Kansas City team that also includes Jake Jakobe, one of the best and highest scoring intramural basketballers at the University last year.
Tom Novak will be Nebraska's game captain against Kansas. Few fans who saw the Jayhawkers and Cornhuskers play here last year can forget the powerful Novak, then a fullback. He averaged four yards a try against Kansas in that game and was a star on defense. Novak played such a bang-up game at center against Notre Dame that Frank Leahy, the Irish coach, called him "the best line-backer we have played against this season—a great tackler." Novak made sixty percent of Nebraska's tackles against Notre Dame.
The Big Six can boast of three of the best centers in the nation, especially defensive centers. Rapacz of Oklahoma was a second team All-American last year and will be hard to keep off the first team this season. Dick Monroe, the Jayhawker center, has shown steady improvement and rates as one of the best Kansas line-backers, and, remember, Kansas is one of the leading teams in the nation in defense. Then there is Novak again.
Just to make the Army-Notre Dame finale more interesting there are some little-known grips that the two schools have against each other. Notre Dame fans don't like the seating arrangements that they have had in Yankee stadium. They sat in center and right field, the bleachers, and were unprotected from the elements. Army followers, on the other hand, were seated alongside third base and under cover of the triple-decked stands.
To even things up there is the Army complaint that Notre Dame is holding out on the tickets for this year's battle. The West Point administration asked for 28,000 tickets, half of the 56,000 seating capacity at South Bend. Notre Dame has never granted any visiting team more than 14,000 tickets and they didn't change that policy for Army. Add a few more items and you have an idea of the no-love-lost game that will be played Saturday.
It will be the last game between the two schools. Never has a Blaik-coached Army team scored on a Leahy-coached Irish squad, yet Army pasted Notre Dame all over the field when Blanchard and Davis were cadets. The game will be played at South Bend for the first time in the history of the rivalry and the Irish like to win for the home folks. Army is on the rebound after a surprising loss to Columbia—it all adds up to a great battle, but so did the second Louis-Conn fight. The game can be close and terrific or one-sided and terrible.
Lippelman, Henry Win In Badminton

In the history of America, only one person has been executed by the ancient torture method of being pressed to death. Giles Cory paid that penalty during the Salem, Mass. witchcraft persecutions 255 years ago.

In the first quarter, Jules McKallor blocked a Beta kick on the enemy 22-yard line. On the next play, Wood completed to Cox on the 15 and from there Wood tossed to Nelson for the final touchdown.
In the second period, Wood passed to Cox to put the Phi PSi's on the BOS 55 and on the next play completed again to Cox for the final score.
The Beta's threatened in the third quarter when they reached the Phi Psi 5-yard line but the ball went back to the Phi Psi's on downs at that point. Howard Joseph sparked the Beta pass offensive, while Johnson did the punting.
Sigma Chi 'B' 4. D.U. 'B' 0
Two safeties gave Sigma Chi “B” a 4 to 0, triumph over the DU's.
The first safety against the D.U. team came in the second quarter after the D.U.'s had drawn three consecutive 15-yard penalties which moved them back to their own 10-yard line. Standing on his own goal line, Bill Wintermote, back to punt, watched a pass from center sail over his head and out of the end zone to give the Sigma Chi's two points.
Again in the third period the D.U.'s presented the Sigma Chi's two points when Wintermote, again back to punt. this time in the end zone, fumbled a pass from center and fell on the ball behind the goal for a safety.
TKE 40, A. K. Lambda 0
Gene Lintichum threw two touchdown passes and caught three of the same to lead the Teke's in their 40 to 0 rout of A. K. Lambda.
On the first play of the game, Boulware intercepted an A. K. Lambda pass and ran to the enemy 20-yard line. On the next play, Wilson tossed to Linthicum for the touchdown. Later in the same period, and again in the second quarter, passes from Wilson to Linthicum accounted for two more touchdowns
The fourth Teke score was made on an 18-yard pass, Linthicum to Crowley, in the third period. After a safety had been scored against A.K. Lambda, Wilson took the following kick-off for the Teke's and heaved a 40-yard pass to Gould who scampered 25 yards for the fifth touchdown. Later in the same quarter Linthicum completed his second touchdown toss to Crowley, this time for 20 yards.
Pi K.A. 6, Lambda Chi 0
Lambda Chi marched 63 yards late in the second period to the Pi K.A. 1-yard line, only to be stopped at that point. With two downs to put the tying touchdown across, Kramer threw an incomplete pass and Jones attempted to make it through the line but was tagged short of the goal.
Dick Lowe passed 19 yards to Wister Shreve in the end zone for the touchdown after two plays had moved the Pi K.A.'s down the field from their own 35-yard line.
Pi K. A. struck early in the first quarter for six points and held it's lead to down the Lambda Chi's.
A fourth quarter pass from Rudy Valecek to Darrell Wright in the end zone gave the Sig Ep's a 6 to 0 victory over Triangle.
Sig Ep 6. Triangle 0
Tom Scofield, K. U.'s track captain, will be one of the top contenders to represent the U. S. in the high jump at the coming Olympics, according to track coach, Bill Easton.
In the second period, Sig Eg launched a scoring thrust which carried them to the Triangle 4-yard line but a bad pass from center set them back to the 20-yard line where the Triangle's held for four downs. The Sig Eg touchdown was set up in the final seconds of the third period on a 20-yard pass from Valecek to Charley Medlock which
Scofield May Go To Olympics
"The competition that Tom will encounter this fall and spring should put him in top condition of the Olympic tryouts this spring," said Coach Easton.
Tom is the present National Jr. Champion and the holder of the Big Six outdoor record of 6 feet and $7\%$ inches. He has cleared 6 feet $6\%$ inches three times this fall.
The Olympics will be held this coming spring in London, England. Three men will represent the U. S. in the high jump.

Almost half of the candidates will be ineligible to compete in varsity competition this year, because they are either freshmen or transfer students, he added.
Fifty men have been reporting nightly for swimming team workouts since Tuesday, Walter Mikols, Jayhawker swimming coach, said today.
The swimmers will work out in Robinson gymnasium pool every day except Thursday and Sunday. The Saturday practice will be in the morning, and week-night practices will be according to the following schedule:
