FRIDAY,SEPT.19,1947
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
BY JAMES RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Most noticeable absences along the football front are the multi-colored parlay cards that flooded the campus last season. Local laws prohibit this popular pastime but second guessing is still legal and side bets are still bouncing. Not to be outdone by other sportswriters who every week make fools of themselves by picking winners before the games are played, here is the initial edition of Spotlight Cinches—
KANSAS over Texas Christian—Should be the best game in the country this week. The Jayhawks are out to cop their first victory from the Frogs and Dutch Meyer will have to find some way to stop the score-happy Kansas backs and their light but tough front line. Should be a fan-pleasing high-scoring game.
OKLAHOMA A. and M. taking Kansas State—The Soonerland Aggies have too much power for the men from Manhattan. Stronger reserves make the difference.
IOWA STATE teaching Iowa State Teachers.
MISSOURI taking St. Louis University—This game will be a close one. The Billikens are a power on paper and may surprise the Tigers like they did last year when Mizzo squeezed out a win in the final minutes.
TULSA trouncing West Texas.
TEXAS$ over Texas Tech—The Longhorns should win this without their Bible.
MISSISIPPI over Kentucky—This game has the prominent pickers tearing their hair. Barney Poole, former West Point star end, will pace the Ole Miss squad.
HASKELL over Ft. Riley—all because of that Indian fullback named A. Heat-of-Birds.
Thanks to Don Pierce sportswriters and broadcasters covering Kansas games will be able to get their advance information from one of the headquarters at the University's publication covers football at the University from helmet to cleat.
Results from the first public weigh in held for all Big Six teams last Saturday are still coming in. Latest beef bulletin was received from Iowa State. The heaviest Cyclone player is Oren Breda who weighs 253 and plays tackle. Lightest man on the squad is 143-pound Jim Bean.
Works Eight Years To Put Birds In Red
Springfield, Ill.—(UP)—Canaries' yellow coats are not safe in Springfield. Raymond F. Patton wants to turn them red.
Patton, a member of the American Color Breeders association, has been working for eight years to breed a scarlet canary. So far he has been only partly successful. His latest attempt sports "shocking pink" feathers.
In his breeding experiments, Patton has turned canaries orange, copper, maltese, mahogany and apricot-colored.
Discontented Cows Cause Legal Battle
Mount Vernon, Wash. — (UP)— Cows, trees, and airplanes became involved in a legal battle in Skagit County Superior court here.
Lee Heberling, a farmer of Burlington, Wash., asked $1.050 damages from the Skagit Valley Air service. He charged that the operators cut down a gnarled maple tree on his property.
The air service said the tree was a hazard to fliers using their nearby field. Heberling said the ancient maple was necessary for the comfort of his cows, who not only enjoy the shade but scratch themselves on the trunk.
Electrical engineers have developed a "liquid hand" to test gloves for power lineman. The gloves are immersed in a large water tank through which an electric circuit is passed to show up any possible cracks or weak spots in the material.

Wight Up To Yanks; Can't Pitch Series
New York — (UP) — Southpaw pitcher Bill Wight of the Kansas City Blues headed for New York today to join the Yankees although he isn't eligible for the World Series, while eight other farm players had orders to report next spring.
The Yankees announced the recall Thursday of the nine players from minor league clubs, eight from Kansas City and one from Portland.
Besides Wight, pitchers Fred Bradley, Tommy Byrne, Clarence Marshall and Frank Hiller, catcher Gus Niarhos, first baseman Steve Souchock and outfielder Cliff Mapes were called up from Kansas City and catcher Charlie Silva was recalled from Portland.

"It's a pleasure to be here and cry—when you'll let me have a shoulder to cry on," coach George Sauer told the Junior Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon Wednesday, but his song wasn't as sad as had been heard in former years in Lawrence.
Coach's Sobs Are Muffled This Year
"I'm not really crying, I just want to present the facts," he explained, and proceeded to review the team. $ \textcircled{4} $
"McNutt is one of the sharpest quarterbacks in the Big Six. "Red" Hogan is one of the better passers in this section of the country, with T. A. Scott a comer in that position—a triple threat—Evans, French, and Moffett at half—Pattee, Baker, and Griffith at full—Sherwood behind them—right half, Bertuzzi, Cliff McDonald, Leroy Robison and French will alternate from left to right half."
Darby Field is believed to be the first white man to visit the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He explored the area in 1642.
The Moose Are Gone But Word Runs On
Thirteen years ago the Province of New Brunswick, seeking to attract more sportsmen, ran a newspaper and magazine ad featuring moose hunting. Last week New Brunswick travel director David Griffiths had what he expects will be the last answer.
From W. G. Jump, Ojai, Cal,
came a letter asking rates and season dates. Griffiths' reply; Sorry, the province has had a closed moose season since 1936.
