WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 1947

Nature will again play a part in this week's Kansas football game. The high elevation of Denver makes breathing difficult especially during strenuous exercises. Denver is no snap and the Jayhawkers will have to work to win. Kansas will use oxygen tanks to help the players combat fatigue and aid their breathing.

Four Kansas football players went the full route in Saturday's game against Texas Christian. Co-captains Otto Schnellbacher and Don Fambrough played the entire game as did Joe Crawford and Dick Monroe. Coach Sauer used 20 men during the game. The Jayhawkers need seasoned reserves and if it is at all possible there should be frequent Kansas substituting in the Denver game.
--claim registering some more disgust.
In anticipating the Denver conflict,
Coach Sauer was no ray of confidence.
Terry Monroe and Ed Lee, tackles, Dick Tomilinson, guard; Darrell Norris, end; and Forrest Griffith, fullback, have recovered from injuries that have kept them bench-bound and should be ready for a crack at Denver. Leroy Robison is still bothered with a painful ankle bruise and is not expected to play Friday night. Ray Evans has been working out this week in warmups. The brushed knee he received in the game Saturday may keep him out of the game. Ray is a favorite of the Denverites. He played in the Mile High city several times when he was with the Second Ai force team.

From the Oklahoma campus to the Cleveland Indians in one year is the success story of Dale Mitchell, former Sooner outfielder. He is batting in the lead off spot and is hitting a robust .330 for Lou Boudreau's team. Last year Mitchell hit .507 of the goers. We went to Oklahoma City and the Tortoise league in hitting, Mitchell hit safely in 22 consecutive games for Cleveland to tie John Mize's major league rookie record.

Jayhawk footballers Red Hogan and Bud French starred for the Wichita Beech baseball team this summer. The Beech team flew high in the State semi-pro tournament in Wichita and landed in second place. Baseball coach Vic Bradford, former Wichita outfielder and present backfield coach played almost every position for a Lawrence nine during the summer. Bradford played first base most of the time, but pitched a shut-out four hitter when the regular moundsmaster pulled up with a sore arm.
Football Practice 'Dull And Listless'
Two more practice sessions are scheduled for the football squad before the team shoves off tomorrow night for Coach, coach George Sauer announced Tuesday afternoon.
He was not enthusiastic about the team's performance that afternoon. "I was a very dull, listless practice," he said. "I was a coach, registering some 'like disgust'
"Last year was a close squeak, and they've got the advantage of having seen us in action," he observed. "They're always tough un there."
The team will continue to practice its defense against the Pioneer's "T" and single-wing formations.
Women Get Pool Two Days
Free swimming for women in the Robinson gymnasium pool will be allowed Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:15 to 5:45 p. m. according to the Physical Education office.
A total of 5,294 veterans in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma applied to the Veterans Administration during March for admission to VA hospitals and homes.
Denver Team A Puzzle New Plans Kept Secret
Denver is a mile-high city entirely surrounded by question marks—as far as football is concerned. The Pioneers will play their first game of the season Saturday, meeting the Kansas Jayhawkers in a night game at Denver University stadium.
Whatever changes have been made by three new coaches and a year to
cook up surprises is definitely not a matter of public property. One of those coaches is Bob Seymour, one of a long line of rugged Oklahoma fullbacks, who was later rated among the top defensive hands in professional football.
About all that is known about the made-over Pioneer strategy is that they employed a spread T-formation and a modified version of the Tennessee single-wing—last season.
They still have Bob Hazelhurst, one of the sharpest backs in the Big Seven, and two good centers in Wes Weber and Joe Cribari. Weber has been switched to guard in what seems to be a much stronger line. One of last year's regular tackles, Steve Woytek, is now down among the substitute guards. Bob Balog, a new 220-pound tackle, has moved in as anchor man, and the Pioneers still have the capable Andy Pavich for full-back.
Trouble has been encountered, however, in finding the right quarterback for the Hubbard T. Howard Benham, a freshman from Hawaii, is rated top passer and best on defense, but no genius at signal calling or ball carrying, nor does he punt.
Jack Girtin is considered a playcaller second to none in the Rockies, a good ball-carrier, a capable hand-eye player, and no punter and only fair on defense.
Vern Cochran is believed second only to Benham at serials.
Don Rezzer is a fine ball handler and steady with a toe, but below par in other departments.
Said Coach Hubbard recently, "If I had to pick a starter for a game this week, I really don't know whom I select, only hope one man can stop picking these attributes, or just a couple. That would solve everything."
The Jayhawkers squeezed out a 21-13 victory over Denver in last year's contest, but the mile-high boys went on to share the co-championship of the Big Seven with Utah State. They later
dropped an Alamo bowl contest to Hardin-Simmons 0 to 20.
Denver may also be in a fog about the K.U. squad; Coach George Sauer might like to know a little more himself. Instead of getting a chance to play, he lands. Sauer had to yield to the weather man for a safe first game.
"We didn't learn a thing we didn't already know," he admitted Tuesday. And Pioneer coach Bud Kerr, who scouted the Oread eleven at last Saturday's water polo game, can probably say the same.
Sauer did pull the wraps off two happy discoveries, Tom Scott, freshman quarterback, and Charlie Moffett, wartime all-Big Six halfback who is back after two years in the service. Scott punted the leaden ball superbly for a 44-yard average to Toad aerial and hauling it about 39 yards to short-circuit the long T.C.U. threat. Moffet showed plenty of poise in all departments while subbing for the injured Ray Evans.
Aside from this pair, who were fairly well established already, Sauer has only the 1946 form chart for reference, which is about as reliable as last year's almanac.
To Place Teams In Divisions Friday
