UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 29, 1947
BY JIM RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
On a national football scope the game of the week will be the meeting between two undefeated, untied, Southwest elevens, Texas and Southern Methodist.
Texas has racked up six victories and Southern Methodist has five wins on her ledger. The game will match Walker of the Methodists against Layne of the Longhorns and can't help but be a thriller. The winner should go on to take the conference crown and represent the Southwest in the Cotton Bowl. Maybe their opponent on New Year's will be Kansas.

Fewer Injuries In Intramurals
The introduction of 8-man intramural football this fall has resulted in fewer injuries and protests than the former style of play, Don Powell, intramural director, said.
"We are positive that the injury list will be smaller this season than in 1946 although we have not yet been able to make a thorough comparison. Powell added.
"The clear pass rule, the banning of line plunges, modifications in blocking regulations, and also better trained officials have done much to cut down the number of mishaps in intramural games" Powell said.
Until last week there were comparatively few men hurt and few protests filed. Since the season is drawing to a close the games are becoming more important to the players. Consequently, the men are playing tighter ball and these trends are only natural, Powell pointed out.
"We are sorry about those injuries that have occurred" the intramural director said. "but when there are 112 players on intramural fields during the game periods someone is bound to get hurt. Even if they were playing drop the handkerchief someone would probably be injured." Powell explained.
Swimmers To Try Out
Approximately 35 candidates were present at the first meeting of the proactive Kansas swimming team to be coached by Walter J. Mikols.
Actual practice will start Monday night. Practices will be held from 7 p.m.to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
According to Mikols, practice will have to be divided into two groups due to the large number of candidates. The free style swimmers will practice from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the back stroke, breast stroke, and divers will work out from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Freshmen are eligible to try out but will be allowed to compete only in intra-squad meets.
"Time trials will probably start in three weeks," said Mikols.

Three K-Staters Out Of Game
PHONE 894
Three top-ranking K-Staters will miss the Saturday game with K. U., according to Sam Francis, Aggie coach. They are Jim Steley, Wendell Pollock, and Gale Lehman.
Stehley, 175-pound back is hospitalized with a charley horse. His 51-yard run against Nebraska scored K-State's only touchdown in that contest.
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—Three names are in the spotlight this week in the Big Six statistical summary; Nebraska's Jack Pesek, Kansas State's Bill Church, and Missouri's Bus Entsinger.
Pollock is out with rib injuries received in the Husker game. Lehman is sidelined with leg injuries.
Pesek, 6-foot 3-inch Husker end, climbed to the number one spot in the punting column, edging out K-State's Bryan who has led the conference in that department since the start of the season. The big Nebraska kicker has an impressive average of 42.3 yards per kick after 23 boots. Bryan dropped to second with a 40.3 yard average in 36 tries.
K-State's Church Top Loop Passer
Church, diminutive wildcat who scampers back from under the center in T-formation to unlimber his throwing arm, has tossed the pig-skin 404 yards in six games. Church has 31 completions for 78 tries this season. His net total bested Ron Norman, Iowa State passing ace who has been up front in the aerial division, until now, by 25 yards.
And Entsinger has begun to pop up all over the statistical sheet.
Bus has a 345 yard net for 54 trips with the ball, only 33 yards to his credit after carrying across scrimmage 76 times.
In the other three departments, Entsinger has an average of 15.1 yards per try in six punts returns; has completed seven of 21 passes for 125 yards; and has scored three touchdowns in six ball games.
St. Mary's Back May Play At KU
Willie Modrein, former back for St. Mary's college of California, and before that a star for Ward High school, Kansas City, Kan., has announced his intentions to enroll at the University immediately. He left St. Mary's last week.
"I plan to enroll at K. U. as soon as possible," he said. "I have made one preliminary contact with the registrar and will go over later this week, probably Thursday."
re plans to enroll before the six-
week deadline, which is next week.
"I got tired of it out at St. Mary's"
he explained. "There was no spirit
on the squad and I don't like to play
football that way, so I quit."
Modrein attended summer football practice at Lawrence in 1946 and was described by Coach George Sauer as one of the finest prospects on the squad. A triple threaten, his forte is broken field running.
At St. Mary's he understudied Herman Wedemeyer, an All-American, then started for the squad this year. He has two years' eligibility remaining.
Bitter Bird Has Roost On Third Floor Of Union
The Bitter Bird magazine has set up its headquarters in the west end of the third floor of the Union.
"Due to our crowded conditions we were unable to provide Byron Shutz, Bitter Bird editor, with a room, but our search did net a desk and hall space for the organization," Miss Hermina Zipple, Union director, said.
