New Jayhawker Grid Captains Praise Team Spirit, Coach
Otto Schnellbacher and Don Fambrough were elected 1947 football team co-captains Monday. The team broke a 58-year-old precedent by electing two captains.

and all-West guard from Longview, Texas, begins his second year with the Jayhawkers. Schnellbacher, 6-foot 3-inch end from Sublette, enters his third and last season with the Saturday night opener against T. C. U. in Kansas City.
"ITS quite honor" said Fambroth, the last after assuming his new post. "I'm going to do everything I can to do a good job."
Schnellbacher felt about the same.
we cherish very highly. We hope that we can carry on the job that Evans did last year."
Ray Evans, looked uncomfortable.
"It was a pleasure and a privilege to be captain of this outfit," he said.
SCHNELLBACHEI
All three agreed that the team's spirit and will to win had been important to last year's team, but that not enough credit could be given to coach George Sauer.
"I think he's the greatest coach in the business today," said Ray
today," said Ray Evans. "I played on some service teams and saw several coaches who were supposed to be tops in the field, but none of them measured up. He's young, and looks at things from our angle. There isn't a man out there who does't respect and admire the guy."
RAY EVANS
Looking forward to the T. C. U. opener, the Big Three agreed that the K. U. team was better than at the same time last year.
The spirit of unity is especially noticeable about this year's squad. We go everywhere as a group, and work together at everything. So far it's been just perfect and we hope it keeps up."
Asked for comment on the games ahead, they hesitated.
need, they reacted.
"We expect them to be awfully tough, and we prefer to take them one at a time."
How do co-captains go about their jobs?
"We'll probably talk it over with one of us making a final decision. A lot of times one or the other will be out of the game."
How did the line, so consistently outweighed by opposing teams, manage to turn in such a good job during the season last year?
during the session.
"When you're outweighed you have to make it up in hustle, spirit, and speed."
Don Fambrough is married, has a son, Presnion who is nicknamed "Buckwheat." A physical education major, he has two years of college ahead of him. He ranked 10th among conference scorers by sole virtue of his points kicked after touchdowns, succeeding 19 times in 22 tries.
Ray Evans is unmarried, hopes to get into business, his major, but hasn't any definite plans. His passing topped the conference. He completed 17 out of 39 attempts, which were good for 379 yards. Second only to Joe Golding of the Sooners at rushing, he carried the ball 12 times, gained 6 yards. On the re-entry, of only four passes, he made them good for a total of 119 yards. This is Riflin' Ray's last year at K.U.
Otto Schnellbacher is married and is a physical education major. He has no post-graduation commitments Top Big Six pass receiver in 1946, he snagged 16 aerials and carried them 342 yards.
If you've been worrying about getting tickets to the T.C.U.-K.U. football game Saturday, stop it. You can't get 'em. At least not on the campus. The Athletic office reported today that there are no tickets to be had unless someone returns his tickets. For the students, or Faculty members, who waited, a number of tickets may be purchased at the gate in Kansas City Saturday after 6 p.m.
No Tickets Left Now Until Game Time Saturday
All men interested in distance running are asked to report to M. E. Easton, 105 Robinson gymnasium, or may report on the track at the stadium after 3 p.m. daily.
Distance Running Workouts Start
Easton reported a good early turnout, with 24 Varsity and 20 freshmen already reporting.
Workouts are scheduled for each afternoon for both distance runners as well as men interested in track and field events.
"I'm very impressed by the eagerness of these fellows to succeed." Coach Easton said Tuesday. "I will take time, but I think we will do a very commendable job."
Intramural Teams Need 8 Managers
Applications for these positions must be turned in to the intramural office in Robinson gymnasium before Sept. 24. Men on an organized team seeking student manager jobs should have their team manager submit the application. Men not on an organized team may turn in their own application. Not more than two men will be chosen from any one organization.
Eight freshmen student intramural managers must be chosen, the intramural office has announced.
Rough Scrimmage Sharpens Up Varsity
The two Don's, Fambrough and Ettinger, made many a spectator shudder with several vicious blocks and tackles at the scrimmage Saturday afternoon. Schnellbacher spilled two Red-men to aid Evans on his long punt return. Robinson, who punted, was the player who tackled Evans.
organizations Applications should include such information as athletic record and sports interest. Student managers work with the intramural director in carrying out the intramural program.
A sportswriter from a nearby city commented on the excellent quarterbacks Kansas has. McNutt, Hogan, Scott, Mester, and Morrow called most of the signals. All of them completed one or more passes.
Gilliam and Brown made a large share of the Red tackles during the time they were in the game. Crawford, Ettinger, Small, Johnson, both Monroe's, and Fambrough stiffed all Red charges. Steve Renko and Terry Mirros give Sauer two good tackles to aid Ettinger and Johnson.
Handling the yard line chain and board were Forrest Griffith, Ed Lee, and Dick Tomlinson, players who could not suit up for the scrimmage due to injuries. Dick Bertuzzi suffered an injured knee in the scrimmage and LeBoy Robinson received an ankle bruise. Coach Sauer believes all injured players except Lee and Bob Kline will be ready for play against Texas Christian.
Pennant Hopes For Cards Die
New York—(UP)—The final chop of the executioner on the neck of the once-proud world champion St. Louis red bird drew inevitably closer today.
The New York Giants, big bullies that they were, took special delight on hitting the Cardinals when they were down. The Giants all but delivered the coup de grace to the Cardinal pennant hopes yesterday when they scored a 7 to 2 triumph in the final meeting of the year between the teams.
Bums Hard To Halt
Yesterday's defeat was anti-climatic, since it had been virtually conceded that the Dodgers, who topped the Reds at Cincinnati, 7 to 3 can't be halted now.
The Phils shoved the Pirates into last place at Pittsburgh as Blix Donnelly won a 2 to 1 pitching battle.
The Yankees, came out of their pennant clinching celebration safe and sane and divided a double bill with the Browns at New York, winning 8 to 3 as rookie Dick Starr won his first big league game, then losing 8 to 2.
Feller Racks Up 19th
Bob Feller won his 19th game, Joe Gordon hitting two homers to bring his total to 29 as Cleveland won a 5 to 3 decision after which the Athletics won, 7 to 3 in the second game at Philadelphia.
Denny Galehouse, now in his second decade as a big league hurler, pitched a six-hit 5 to 0 victory over the White Sox at Boston, but Chicago took the second game, 8 to 3.
Terry Monroe, 215-pound Jayhawker tackle, sprained his right ankle in scrimmage Tuesday, and will probably not see action against T. C. U. Saturday night. The giant lineman was being groomed as a replacement for veteran tackle "Red" Ettinger.
The Senators handed Hal Newhouser of the Tigers his 17th batting at Washington, 4 to 1 as Early Wynn pitched four-hit ball and missed a shutout only on the margin of Eddie Lake's homer.
Boston and Chicago were idle in the National.
