52 Teams Compete In I-M; Season Openers Begin Today
With 52 teams and over 800 men scheduled to participate, the 1947 intramural football season gets underway today. This is the largest number of teams and men ever to participate in intramural football at the University of Kansas. In 1946, the biggest previous year, 30 teams battled for gridiron honors.
Twelve teams open their schedules today. Phi Gamma Delta and Triangle square-off on the women's intramural field. Phi Kappa Psi and Pi Kappa Alpha tangle on field three; Sigma Chi and Alpha Kappa Lamb-Thaeta and Delta Chi, field Delta Theta and Delta Chi, field Theta Pi and Phi Kappa, field six; Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Blanks, field seven.
Departing from the regular procedure, two "A" leagues have been formed this year. One league consists chiefly of independent organizations and professional groups, the other of social fraternities. Only one independent team, the Blanks, is in the social fraternity league. Independent teams were eligible to sign in either league.
Three rule changes will be in effect when teams kick-off today. They are the clear pass, no cross-body blocking, and the one-handed touch. These rules, together with the change from 11 to eight men's teams, are designed to cut down injuries.
More passing is expected to be featured this year because of the clear pass and the one-handed touch rules. The clear pass rule requires that a pass be completed behind the line if a man runs with the ball but not if he throws a forward pass. Since a man need only be touched with one hand, line plays are expected to be more difficult.
At the end of the regular season the two leagues will hold separate playoffs, the two top teams of each division being eligible to enter. The league winners will then battle it out for the championship.
Kansan To Carry I-M Schedule
Here is Tuesday's intramural football schedule:
Kappa Eta Kappa and Wesley, women's intramural field, the first field west of Sunyside; Oread hall and Theta Tau, field three; Army and Smith hall, field four; Y.M.C.A. Sigma Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha field six; Phi Kappa and Phi Kappa Psi, field seven.
A schedule of this season's intramural football games is posted on the bulletin board at the intramural office, 107 Robinson gymnasium. Team managers should check it. Notice of future games will be posted in the University Daily Kansan sports section.

Green Pitchers Are Problem For Both Yanks, Dodgers
Pitching is the big question mark for both the Yankees and the Dodgers in the forthcoming World Series, and the reason for the uneasiness is inexperience. Many young hurling stars have been overcome by Series stagefright, and this year's pitching staffs are overloaded with inexperienced men.
The only seasoned performer on the Yankee staff is aging Bobo Newsom, a veteran of two previous World Series, who will probably get the nod over young Vic Raschi for one of the starting assignments. Newsm's record of 11 and 11 is not too impressive, but he is at his best when there's a jackpot at the end of the baseball rainbow.
Shea may be the hot-shot pitcher of the Series, in view of his last two performances. They were a four-hitter and a two-hitter, which boosted his impressive season record to 14 and 5. He has allowed only 127 hits in 179 innings. Bevens, a second-year man in the big time, has the poorest pitching record. He has won seven and lost 13, but his last time out he tossed a three-hitter to virtually clinch a starting assignment.
The only other competent southpaw on the New York pitching staff
The Yank pitching staff as a whole must be rated superior to the Bums' hurlers. They have gone the route 73 times this year, 15 of them shutouts, while the Brooklyn starters have finished only 46 games, 14 without yielding a run. The other probable Yank starters will beCookie Frank Stallone, Fred Brantz, Fluid Brantz, Ralph Brance, Joe Hatten, Vie Lombardi, and either Hal Gregg or Hank Behrman will form the Dodger front-liners.
The only old-timmers among the Brooklyn flingers is relief pitcher Hugh Casey. With nine wins and only four defeats for the year in 46 relief roles, Casey will probably be counted on heavily whenever the starters run into trouble.
Allie Reynolds, the ace of the New York moundsmen, could hardly be called a veteran of the baseball wars. His 19 and 8 record for the season, including shutouts in his last two starts, will merit for him the opening game assignment.
The shining star in the Dodger camp is Branca, a 21-game winner as a freshman. He is the logical choice to pitch the opening game. His recent mound showings have not been too impressive, and manager Shotton may pull a "Durocher" and start Harry Taylor. The latter was as effective as Branca before he suffered a recurring elbow injury. He may see action in the Series.
Manager Bucky Harris will miss Spud Chandler, who has been out most of the season with a bad arm after running up a record of nine and four. Vic Raschi and Carl Drews, both first-year men, and veterans Charlie Wensloff and Randy Gumpert may see limited action.
is Joe Page. He has won 14 and dropped seven in 55 relief appearances.
If Taylor isn't ready to go, the fourth starter for the Dodgers will probably be Gregg. He is the most experienced of Shotton's starting hurlers, and is potentially the best on the field. He has won four and five, but has flashed his best pitching form of the year in the past few weeks.
Hatten is the likely pitcher for the second game. He has 17 wins to his credit against eight losses. Pint-sized Lombardi, only dependable Dodger southpaw, merits the nod for the third game. Like Bevans, he hasn't been too successful this season, but was at his best in the crucial series against the Cards and Giants.
Behrman will be ready for either a full-length job or relief work. Rex Barney, Clyde King, and Dan Bankhead round out the Dodger staff, but none of these will see action unless the Yanks go on a batting spree which even fireman Hugh Casey can't control.
Big Six Mixup Well Under Way
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—With the record for two weeks of intersectionsal play reading four victories and five defeats, Big Six teams get down to the business of picking a conference champion next weekend, with Kansas playing host to Iowa State in the initial circuit clash.
In the other games Saturday, Oklahoma will entertain Texas A. and M., Nebraska will try again against a Big Ten foe as Minnesota journeys to Lincoln, Kansas State, twice beaten, will look again for a winning combination against New Mexico at Manhattan, and Missouri moves to Dallas for a mix-up with Southern Methodist.
Oklahoma, co-champions last year in the Big Six, looked as good as ever against Detroit Friday in the motor city. The highly rated Michigan eleven bowed to the Sconers, 20-24, as a new mentor, Bud Wilkinson showed he could take over the chores of Jim Tatum—and get along without Joe Golding in the tailback slot.
Nebraska lost its opener in Lintwo touchdowns and a field goal coln Saturday as Indiana ground out for a 17-0 edge. The Cornhuskers had little luck on the ground, but scared the visiting Hoosiers when they took to the air.
Substitute halfback Ted Grimes showed the K-State Wildcats the way to paydirt under the lights in El Paso Friday, but Texas Mines turned up in the end zone three times to take the ball game, 20-6.
Don Faurot's surprising Missouri Tigers almost turned the trick against powerful Ohio State Saturday afternoon, and only a last minute rally saved the Buckeyes by winning away their upset. Ohio won the contest, 13-7 but the Missourians led going into the final period, 7-6.

It's The Irish In Her That Digs Those Potatoes
Kendallville, Ind. — (UP) — Mrs. August Haas got tired of hearing some officers and 90-year-old fellow fishers coast of going fishing at their akes.
"If these people want to go fishing, that's their business. I planted a garden last spring, tended it and recently dug 20 bushels of potatoes from it, unassisted," she said.
Mrs. Haas is 92.
