Intramural Football Changes Aimed To Cut Down Injuries
Three changes in intramural football rules, designed to reduce injuries, will be put into effect this fall, the intramural director said today.
These rules concern the "clear pass," illegal blocking, and eight man teams.
The "clear pass" rule says that a pass must be completed behind the
No Cross-Body Blocking
line of scrimage before a player may run with the ball. A hand-off does not constitute a clear pass. However, if the ball is kicked or passed across the line a clear pass is not necessary.
Cross-body blocking is illegal this season. This means that only a player's feet may be in contact with the group when he blocks. Also a blocker may not attempt to batter down an opponent. This type blocking accounted for much of the unnecessary roughness the past season.
Officials Will Crack Down
With only eight men on a team, intramural foot ball should be faster, however the change was made especially to lessen injuries, Don Powell, intramural director, said.
Officials Will Crack Down He added that officials will be instructed to crack down on offenders Pointing out that the purpose of intramurals was to provide clean recreation for students, he commented. "I hope those players who were here the past year have learned a lesson and that we will see nothing but sportsmanshiplike conduct on the fields this year."
Nandaly, Australia—(UP)—When they ate his wooden leg, David Strachan felt the plague of mice was getting out of hand.
Mouse Plague Is Now Cannibalism
More than 4,000 square miles of the Mallee, southeastern Australia's wheat section, has been overrun by the mice. Thousands of dollars worth of wheat and other produce has been destroyed.
destroyed.
"I take my leg off every night and prop it on a chair by my bedside," Strachan said. "Each morning for a week I saw marks where mice had been nibbling at it, but didn't take much notice. But they ate so much around the ankle one night that I wasn't game to put the leg on in the morning."

Having eaten wallpaper, lamphades, clothing, and letters about to be posted, the mice turned to cannibalism, considered a sign that the plague was lessening. Farmers recalled two similar mouse plagues in the past sixty years. ___

Dodgers Gain On Cardinals
The Brooklyn Dodgers were one game closer to a pennant today after trouncing the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 2 as the collapsing Cardinals dropped their fifth straight game slipping to $9 \frac{1}{2}$ games behind Brooklyn. The Bums need only two more victories in their remaining 11 games to "clinch" the flag. The third place Braves topped the Cards 10 to 8 at St. Louis, after assuming an early 7 to 0 lead, then coating in.
Winning pitcher for Brooklyn was problem right-hander Hal Gregg, who allowed the Pirates only six hits. Jackie Robinson lead the attack with a homer and a double.
Johnny Mize clented two more homers and tied Kiner for the major league lead as the Giants divided at Chicago, winning 9 to 3 on 16 hits, then losing a weird 12 to 10 decision when Bill Nicholson hit a two-run homer in the last of the ninth.
Joe (Burrhead) Dobson of the Red Sox pitched a one-hit 5 to 0 victory over the St. Louis Browns, missing the hall of fame by the margin of Walt Judnich's broken-bat single in the seventh inning of a double header nightcap. The Brownwon the first game, 9 to 4.

Allie Reynolds won number 18 as the Yankees pounded out a 5 to 0 triumph over the White Sox.
The Athletics swept a double header from the Detroit Tigers at Philadelphia, 6 to 4 and 8 to 6, knocking the Bengals out of second place. Eddie Joost homered for the A's.

Al Gettel scattered six hits to give the Indians a 7 to 0 victory over the Senators at Washington.
Texas Freshmen Get Paid For Doing Senior Chores
College Station, Tex.—(UP—the contract method of doing business between employer and employees has at last hit the college campus. Freshmen at Texas A. and M. now are receiving 40 cents an hour for chambermaid chores performed for senior students.
The "fish"—as freshmen Aggies are known—used to do the work for nothing. The contracts resulted from new anti-hazing rules at the college, which prohibited seniors from using "fish" as chore boys.
What's A Mere 10 Pounds To Our Grid Squad?
Coach George Sauer's battling opportunists—the team that converted 14 enemy fumbles in touchdowns last year—will take the field Saturday night against T.C.U. outweighed at least ten pounds a man.

The Big Boys
Bulk of the padding on the K.U. football wall comes from veteran Red 'Ettinger and Joe Crawford, Jeyhawker tackle and guard, who weigh 204 and 203 pounds, respectively. Dick Monroe, recent transfer from Oklahoma A. & M. who carries a lot of authority with his 200-odd pounds, will start at center in Howard Fisher's old spot.
Texas Christian won't field a single man under 200 pounds from tackle to tackle, and the replacements are even bigger. But weight didn't mean a thing last year, when the two squads battled to a frenzied scoreless tie before a packed stadium.
less before he becomes Jayhawker Coach George Sauer has already tagged the Horned Frog episode a "must" on the Kansas grid calendar. Wednesday night when the Kansas coach spoke at a Chamber of Commerce lunchon he referred to the coming T.C.U. game as the "toughest of the year." That's All Coach Wants
Sauer doubtless will be satisfied if his line opens again by throttling Dutch Meyer's ground attack to 86 net yards. That was its kick-off performance last season.
Leroy Robison, injured right half,
and Terry Monroe, crippled tackle,

French alternated at both left and
right halfback spots.
After driving hard twice a day through the sweltering heat, the Jayhawkers have squeezed off just about every ounce of excess weight. Early workouts have just about convinced Sauer that he will have to keep the 1946 holdovers in the line-up almost all the time until some of the youngsters develop into capable replacements.
Happy KU Faces At 1946 TCU Game - But No Score
This is a shot of some of the crowd at the 1946 K.U.-T.C.U. game. There were plenty of happy faces-but no score. This year we hope that the faces will be just as happy, but with more reason. . about six points more should do it.

Same Family Owns Farms For 100 Years
Fort Wayne, Ind. — (UP) — Two Allen county farms have been owned by the same families for more than 100 years, a survey being made for the Indiana Historical society disclosed.
A 239-acre farm where the Harrison Bailey family lives has been in that family for 110 years. It was first bought by James Van Dolah from President Martin Van Buren in 1837. Mrs. Bailey is a Dolah.
The same president gave an 80- acre plot to James Tucker in 1836. In 1839, Tucker's brother, Thomas bought it. Last year, Elbridge E. Tuckered the farm.
Medieval beds were ornate but uncomfortable. They consisted of mattresses placed on top of boards.
