Varsity Piles Up 79-0 In First Scrimmage
The Kansas football team gave a sneak preview for about 1,000 fans Saturday. The squad was split up into two teams and played under game conditions for 90 minutes. The White team, made up first and second stringers, trounced the Red squad 79-0.
accurate passes, crisp blocking, and strong make 1
Long touchdown runs, accurate defensive play combined to make the White team a powerhouse. Lending the touchdown parade for the winners were Frank Pattee and Bud French. Both of these backs crossed the goal line three times. Hoyt Baker, White fullback, registered two touchdowns and the remainder were scored by Dick Bertuzzi, Charlie Moffett, Cliff McDonald, and Hugh Johnson.
Bertuzzi started the avalanche when he scored from the 14 before five minutes of the scrimmage had passed. Don Fambrough booted the extra point. The Reds were unable to do much with the ball in three tries and Dick Monroe, center for the Whites, crashed through the Red front wall to block Robinson's punt. Hugh Johnson, tackle, covered the ball in the end zone to make it 13-0 for the White's. Fambrough again converted via the place kick route.
Block Operates Smoothly
Block Operations*
Ray Evans set up the third touchdown when he took Robinson's long punt on the White 40 and ran it on the Red 15. Hawkins and Schennbacher aided Evans in his jaunt by throwing excellent blocks on would-be Red tacklers. Evans carried again and got to the three before he was thrown. McNutt used the quarterback sneak to place the ball on the one-yard line and Baker slammed it across for the counter.
This time Fambrough's kick was wide.
McDonald Scores Four Cliff McDonald campered to pay a bill for play mix playing some fancy stepping with several hard downfield blocks. Don Ettinger missed the place kick for the extra point and the White's led 27-0.
McDonald Scores Fourth
Hogan, replacing McNutt at quarterback, tossed to Schmidt in the flat and the Jayhawker end lateraled to Ettinger who plunged to the 17 before he was tackled. Pattee scored on the next play slicing through the left side of the Red team. Ettinger missed the conversion.
The Reds failed to gain through the line or the air and passed to the White 43. Hogan passed to Moffett on the 10 and he moved to the five before he was stopped. Pattee ran the ball over from there and Ettinger missed his third attempt for an extra point. Pattee In Long Run
Frank Pattee then thrilled the crowd with a 65-yard run to make
it 65-0 for the White eleven. Only two men laid a hand on Pattée during his long jawt to the goal.
Only 200 bleacher seats for the Kansas-T.C.U. football game Saturday remain to be sold, Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said this morning.
Another thrilling run provided the next score. Scott passed to Moffett for 30 yards and on the next play Moffett went over from the 28-yard line. Scott converted. The final score came after a march of 80 yards. Baker plunged over for the score from the two yard line. Fambrough made it 79-0 with his place kick.
200 Seats Left For First Game
A few scattered end zone seats are available, but may be gone soon, he remarked. Two thousand general admission ducats also remain to be sold, but Falkenstein expects a complete sell-out by whistle-time Saturday.
Plans have been made for the University band to attend the game. However, the new band uniforms will not arrive in time to be worn to the game.
Students planning to attend the game will sit in a special student section.

Yanks One Step From League Title
The total weight of the air around the earth is nearly six billion tons.
New York—(UP)—The ho-hum American league pennant race was just about over today with the New York Yankees one game away from clinching their 15th championship while in the National League the Brooklyn Dodgers were seven games ahead and only seven games away
This could easily be Clinching Day for the Yankees who yesterday assured themselves of at least a draw by beating the last-place St. Louis Browns, 6 to 4. One more Yank victory—they are playing the Brownies today—or one more Red Sox defeat—they are playing the White Sox in a doubleheader—will wrap up the pennant.
The Dogers picked up a game and-a-half yesterday taking a doubleheader from Cincinnati, 13 to 2 and 6 to 3, while the St. Louis Cards
Goat Gets Neighbors Goat
St. Joseph, Mo.-(UP)—Police received a complaint from a man whose domestic comfort had been disturbed by a goat. He told officers it wasn't the first time the neighbor's animal had wandered on his property, but added that "this morning the wind was from the wrong direction."
took a 9 to 1 beating from the New York Giants.
Detroit socked Washington twice,
15 to 8, and 8 to 4.
The Cards and Giants meet again today, while the Dodgers have a day off.
The Philadelphia Philes won a doubleheader, beating Pittsburgh 7 to 3 and 9 to 7.
The Boston Braves beat the Cubs 1 to 0 in the first game, but the Cubs came back to take the second, 6 to 1.
The Philadelphia A's won from Cleveland, 11 to 9, in the first game of a doubleheader, and tied the second 4-4.
Big Six Pre-Season Plays Forecast Wide-Open Year
If last weekend was any indication of Big Six scoring this year, football fans can get ready for one of the wildest, most wide-open goalline scrambles in history.
Missouri, Kansas State, and Kansas gridders passed and ran their way to 26 touchdowns Friday and Saturday, as Big Six mentors put their charges through rough and tumble scrimmages in a final polishing-up armed, and pivoted away from effort before the 47 season swings would-be tacklers. into full gear this Saturday.
The Jayhawker scrimmage Saturday was the last body-bruising practice until after the Texas Christian fracas Saturday.
At Manhattan Friday night, 3,000 persons saw Coach Sam Francis's spirited cellar-dwellers pound it into a well-bruised bunch of second stringers, with an assault which was half ball-toting and half jet-propulsion.
Missouri Coach Don Faurot watched a highly gratifying performance Saturday, as Tiger griders almost beat each others brains out in an effort to please their coach. Missouri opens against St. Louis University Sept. 20.
While more than a score of white-clad Jayhawkers were tromping over a "red" team of third and fourth stringers at Lawrence, Missouri's number one pigskinners were doing likewise to their kid brothers. Final score at Columbia was 55 to 0.
Most promising runners to emerge from the golden-laden bucket of Missouri football talent were Illen Bounds, Bus Entminger, and Wilbur Volz. These three shined in the scrimmage, as they twisted, stiff-
Meanwhile, Kansas State was having troubles. Dick Bogue, a first team end from Wichita, suffered a possible fracture of a rib in the Wildcat practice tilt Friday night and may not help his teammates open Saturday against Oklahoma A. & M.
