Fear In Eyes Of Texas As KU Prepares For TCU
For the first time in five years, the Jayhawk eleven is conceded an ever chance to beat the Horned Frogs from Texas. Whether this decision is based on an over-rated K.U. team or an under-rated outfit from For Worth, tomorrow night's game in Kansas City will finally decide. Nobody expects a repetition of last year's scoreless tie.
Coach Sauer's tough, scrapy outfit is on the spot after having been repeatedly named title favorite over the rampaging Oklahoma Sooners, and the team doesn't want to let it's supporters down. Another item to remember is that T.C. U. is the only long-term contract school on the Kansas schedule which the Jayhawkers haven't recently whipped, and they're eager to settle accounts.
The Frogs, picked as a dark horse threat in the usually muddled Southwest conference race, have their 1946 season to cancel out on the books. Duck Meyer's outfit won only two of 10 starts last autumn and two of the losses, a 6-7 defeat by the Oklahoma Aggies, and a 12-14 setback by Oklahoma, were heart-breakers. lost to teams defeated by K. U.
There is concern caused by Meyer's habit of changing formations along with personnel from week to week. The Frogs opened against Kansas with a strict single wing last year, but, after a drab season, Meyer again promises his famous mixture of single, double, and triple wing, garnished with an occasional spread. Not a single team shot a full-blown spread at the Jayhawkers last year, and how they will react is as uncertain as the bounce of a football.
In K. U., the Frogs again will face a fast, high-spirited club, fronted by lean-limbed, mobile line and a backfield that shapes up as one of the best in the Big Six.

Prime, a retired army sergeant came. A New York by bus and took the bleachers last night in front of the bleachers gate at the stadium. He was still there at 10 a.m. today when the police told him to come back, if he liked, the night before the opening series game, Sept. 30.

'Plush' From Poker, But How About Kist?
Portland, Ore.—A tireless historian is only 450 short of his goal in his hobby of digging up reasons for names of 2,200 postoffices in Oregon.
He still has no historical proof for such names as Mirth, Kist, Idea, Egypt or Ragic—which is "cigar" snelled backwards.
pelley a historian takes the name "Plush" for example and by careful research learns from old newspapers or records in Lake county that some Indians got into a poker game with white men and bumped into a flush. "Plush" was as close as they could get to it.
In discussing points for the sweepstake trophy, Powell said that volleyball will be a major sport this year and that points will be given for rifle competition. More points will be given for team sports this year while points for individual sports remain the same.
This year's intramural program was outlined by Don Powell, intramural director, at a meeting of about 30 team managers Thursday.
Plans call for three divisions among internity teams. A system has been devised for distributing the strongest teams of the '46 season among the three divisions. The first game will be Sept. 29.
New on the program this year is a football field meet. Contests in passing, punting, place-kicking, and other phases of sport will be included in the meet.
To Hold I-M Football Meet
Powell explained that no independent teams would compete against fraternities this year unless the independent team wished to do so. This change was made to equalize competition, he added.
Alfred Moore. College sophomore, and Gorman "Buck" Neel. College junior, were elected by the team executive council, managers to the men's intramural
Lead, S. D—(UP)—Lead City street department employees are hunting lost water mains with a mine detector.
Mine Detector Finds Water Mains
The city commission decided that $14.95 for a mine detector was a cheap investment compared with the annual cost of labor and equipment to find water mains when they need repair.
When something went wrong it was a matter of pick and shovel work to locate the trouble.
The mains apparently were not mapped when they were laid years ago.
The mains are easily located with the detector, and mapped.

New York—(UP) More than the usual amount of interest was attached to Rookie Frank's four-hit, 3-1 triumph over the White Sox Thursday, for it marked the first time since July 5 that he had pitched a complete game.
The Dodgers, all but mathematically "in" as National League pennant winners, clinched a tie for the flag at Pittsburgh but missed a chance to settle the race when they dropped an 8-7 decision on Wally Westlake's ninth-inning game-breaking homer.
Ralph Kiner, again taking over the major league lead in homers, became the fifth player in history to hit 50 homers in a season as he smacked a second inning round tripper for Pittsburgh.
The Dodgers, now only one game away from the flag, were helped again by the sad St. Louis Cards who dropped their sixth straight 6-2 to the Braves and remained $ _{9/2} $ games off the pace and only $ _{11/2} $ games ahead of the third place Bostonians.
In other major league games, the Giants defeated the Cubs, 9-5; Cincinnati whipped Philadelphia, 9-4; Cleveland shut out Washington, 4-0; and the Red Sox handed St. Louis a 10-6 beating.
