By scanning the Oklahoma starting line-up against Texas you can get some idea of how the Jayhawkers and Sooners stack up for Saturday's game. Both are well-stacked.
No one in the Big Six can best Don Fambrough at back guard. The former blocking back from Texas has never turned in anything but top-notch performances for Kansas. Man mountain 213-pound Burris will start for Oklahoma at left guard.
Kansas probably will start Dick Monroe at center. Monroe's bruised knee should be in fair shape by game time. He is playing his first year of football at center. He was blocking back at Oklahoma A. and M. before transferring to Kansas. In the Kansas games so far Monroe has sparkled at his new position.
At left end Kansas can start two excellent wingmen, Marvin Small and Dave Schmidt. Small weighs 185 pounds and Schmidt, an All-Big Six selection for the last two years, weighs 153 pounds. On the Oklahoma side is Jim Tyree, a veteran that also made some conference all-star teams. Tyre is an excellent defensive end and weights 199 pounds.
Red Ettinger is the Kansas left tackle. Paine started at this spot for Oklahoma against Texas. Red has a four-pound weight advantage over the 199-pound Sooner starter. Both of these men are of the rugged 60-minute school but there isn't a tackle in the conference who can fight it out on an equal basis with Red.
Opposing Monroe is a great center who is being plugged for All-American honors, John Rapacz. He threw his 224 pounds against the Texas Longhorns so viciously that a Dallas paper commented "we've already found our All-American selection for center." His understudy, Tepill Tillman, is reported to be just as good on defense but not as capable on blocking assignments.
Plato Andros left Oklahoma for the professional ranks but he left his 206-pound brother, Dee, to fill in for him and there is little difference in the two according to Bud Wilkinson, Sooner coach. Dependable and underrated Joe Crawford will give Kansas a guard capable of breaking up any ball game. Crawford is one of the best in the Midwest.
Hugh Johnson can't be beat in a pound-for-pound analysis of Big Six tackles. He plays full steam every minute he is in the game and when Johnson is at full steam he can't be derailed. Oklahoma's Walker is a power at right tackle for the Sooners. He was one of the defensive starts against Texas and was picked for All-Big Six honors last year. He weighs 206 pounds while Johnson's weight totals 188 pounds.
Members of the Forensic league will speak to organized houses in behalf of the W.S.S.F. drive on Oct. 23 and 24, Hal Friesen, president, said today.
Otto Schnellbachier rates as superior to the Oklahoma right end, Goad. Otto's height and passcatching ability make him a marked man on the field. On defense he frequently smashes opposition interference.
The Kansas reserves have picked up a lot of experience in the last two games and they will be ready to relieve any of the starters if necessary. Oklahoma has several elfy line substitutes who are just a shade behind the starters so both sams will have capable replacements.
orensic League To Speak
Behalf of WSSF Drive
Each speaker will attend a series of meetings to acquaint himself with the seeds of the W.S.S.F. Then the speakers will visit the houses to explain the purposes of the drive and encourage student support of the end.
Bob Karnes Holds KU Mile Record
Bob Karnes, KU.'s erack distance runner, is the present holder of the Kansas high school mile record which at one time was held by Glen Cunningham.
The time of 4:29.3 was set by Karnes in 1943. This time bettered that of Cunningham's by 2.1 seconds.
The Big Six two mile indoor and outdoor crowns also belong to Bob. He picked up the indoor title in Kansas City last fall, and the outdoor crown at Lincoln last spring.
Secret Field Being Built
It may look as if the circus has arrived on the east side of Memorial stadium, but the truth is that the Jayhawkers' first secret practice field is being built.
In a move to keep the scouts of opposing teams from learning everything that Coach Sauer and the team is doing, the workers are rushing to stretch canvas and across poles fourteen feet high and space apart. These have been placed around two sides of the field.
Scouts from Missouri, Kansas State and other teams remaining on the Kansas schedule will find it hard to get a good look at any new plays.
The only point of vision when the work is finished will be high atop the Frank Strong hall or possibly third floor of the Pi Beta Phi house.
Say, does anyone know of a Big Six school that could use a good scout?
Quack Club Invites Women For Final Swim Tryouts
Quack club, women's swimming club, will hold tryouts tonight at 7:30 p.m. Women chosen from previous tryouts have been invited to attend this meeting.
"Tryouts for diving will be Oct. 23." Jeanne Gorbitt, president, said today. Those asked to return for diving tryouts are also invited to come tonight. They are Virginia Harris, Nancy Smart, Jean Chambers, Barbara Burkholder, Kathleen McKelvy, Peggy Wolfe, Jacqueline Simpson, Newcomer, Jeanne Gillie, and Claire Grothusen.
KU Will Be Host To 2,000 Students
The University of Kansas will be host to 2,000 university students who will attend the first postwar North American student conference on "Christian Frontiers." The conference will be held Dec. 27 to Jan. 1.
The Rev. Charles W. Thomas, Baptist pastor to University students, is chairman of the preliminary committee for arrangements on the campus.
The Student Volunteer movement, a group composed of all Protestant denominations, will sponsor the conference. Walter H. Judd, surgeon and congressman from Minnesota, is general chairman. Dr. Winburn T. Thomas, executive secretary of the Student Volunteer movement is in charge of the program.
