UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1947
By JIM RAGLIN
Halfback Ray Evans, when nominated for a second term as captain of the football team, asked the squad to pass the honor to some other player. Evans was last year's landslide choice for the post. Most recent honor for Ray came from the Saturday evening event. That magazine—second All-American squad and Evans was placed on the third team. In the same article Kansas was chosen to win the Big Six title and the Jayhawks were listed as stronger than Tulsa and Oklahoma A. and M.

Several popular sportswriters and sport magazines have already picked All-American squads for the coming season. They qualify their selections as "shots in the dark" but it is doubtful that many changes will be noticed at the end of the season when the same men and magazines once again pick their dream teams. It means that Ray Evans, an all-American in the mid-20th century, will probably end up on the third team when Saturday Evening Post picks their post season honor squad. Makes things look better to have the "pre" and "post" season coaches coincide.

Jim Clinger, K-State sports editor, is singing the praises of Bill Church and Dave Schirmer. Church is a 155-pound quarterback from Fairbury, Neb. Schirmer, a guard, is from Holton and looked good in Saturday night's scrimmage at Manhattan. His defensive play helped the Wildcats hold Oklahoma to a 7-7 score for three quarters in their game last season. Joe Golding broke loose in the fourth quarter of the game and scored two touchdowns to aid the Sooners in their 28-7 win.

Missouri will be the first conference eleven to start the season's schedule. The Tigers meet St. Louis University at 2 p.m. Saturday at Columbia. The bothersome Billikens are considered a threat to Tulsa's Missouri Valley crown and should give the Faurot coached team a good test. Iowa State and Kansas State play night games on their home fields Saturday. The Cyclone's meet Iowa State Teachers and Kansas State tangles with Oklahoma A. and M.
If Coach George Sauer starts Schmidt, Johnson, Crawford, D. Monroe, Fambrough, Ettinger, and Schnellbaugh in the line against T.C.U. Saturday, the Jayhawk forward wall will average 187.9 pounds a man. However, if Marvin Small starts in place of Schmidt the average jumps to 191 pounds—unheard of for Kansas.
***
Most of the added weight will come from three 200-pounders, which the Jayhawkers' starting lineup lacked entirely last season. Red Ettinger is up to 204 and Joe Crawford is a solid 293 pounds. Dick Monroe weighs an even 200.
Glenn Davis will not play against Haskell Juco, but Ug Fuson, Sheldon Biles, West, and Travssell, all former West Point starters, will be in the lineup Saturday. Davis will play for Fort Riley when his injured knee heals.
Barber, 82, Has Gone From 'Handle Bars' To Crew Cuts
Malden, Mass.—(UP)—Arranging the gentleman's coiffeur from the days when side whiskers and handle-bar mustaches were the style to the present-day crew cut hasn't bored 82-year-old Thomas Croteau a bit.
He has been running a barber shop for 64 years. He observes that the young man of today takes more pride in his appearance than those of a generation ago.
Runners Can Tryout
Distance runners as well as track and field men are still invited to try out, M. E. Easton, track coach, said today. They should report either at 105 Robinson gymnasium or on the track after 3 p.m.

Students Can Still Get Jayhawkers
Students who were unable to purchase a Jayhawk yearbook in the registration line can now do so at either the Jayhawk office in the Union building or at the booth set up in the rotunda of Frank Strong, Keith Wilson, editor, said today.
Several subscriptions were refused in the line because the Jayhawker allotment of paper had been used up, Wilson said. However the allotment has been increased.
Texas Jaywalkers Buy School Fountain
Members of the high school Hi-Y club decided the school needed a new fountain. They set out one weekend and whenever they spotted a traffic violator asked for a 25-cent "fine." If the violator refused payment he was hauled before a school-boy judge who was authorized to assess fines up to $1. The take was $121, enough for their purpose.
Donna. Texas—(UP)—There were mough jay walkers in Donna to pay or a new water fountain.
Women's I-M Program Will Be Planned Today
The fall intramural program for women will be set-up at the first meeting of the women's Intramural managers at 4 p.m. Friday in 202 Robinson gymnasium.
Managers or representatives from each team are asked to be present at the meeting to receive their entry blanks, the women's athletic office said today.
The freshman football squad may number close to 100 after all candidates have completed checking out their equipment this week, Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, announced today.
Freshmen Sign Up For Fall Football
At the first meeting of the frosh hopefuls yesterday afternoon close to 85 candidates reported for preliminary instruction. Serious practice will not begin until next week, coach Replogle said.
"We are primarily interested in getting the boys started right in their studies and other university routine drills, but regular football drills," he said.
According to a Big Six ruling, freshman squads will not be allowed to compete against other schools. The only games the frosh will play will be intra-squad tilts and possibly games against the B team, according to coach Replogle.
I-M Department Seeks Team Backers
Men wisking to sign up with a team should report to 202 in Robinson gymnasium, at 4:30 p. m. Monday. Don Powell, intramural director, said that he hoped to have sponsors for teams who wanted them at that time.
To encourage independent men to take part in intramural sports, the intramural department is seeking organizations on the campus to sponsor independent teams.
The department will attempt to get in touch with organizations whom they feel might sponsor a team. However, Powell said that he hoped any group willing to sponsor a team would call him at the intramural office.
Intramural team managers will meet with Don Powell, intramural director in 202, Robinson gymnasium, at 4:30 today.
Intramural Leaders To Meet
I-M Officials Needed
Don Powell, intramural director,
has issued a call for intramural football officials. Any raan who believes he is qualified should report to the intramural office. An official's clinic will be held before the first game for those men selected to work games. Officials will receive $1 a game.
