UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FEBRUARY 27,1947
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor
George Sauer's red and blue foot- ball squad will open spring practice Monday and a total of 125 candidates is expected.
Up to midsemester, the Jayhawkers lost only three eligible varsity men. All three were lettermen, but none was a regular on last year's championship squad.
SCHNELLBACHER
FAMBROUGH
Eighteen of last year's lettermen will return to the squad, including a record number of all-Big Six stars. Both ends of the line will be represented with Otto Schnellbacher and Dave Schmidt returning; guard Don Fambrough, all-West squad member, and quarterback Lynn McNutt will also return.
SCHMIDT
McNUTT
This quartet plus most of the rest of last year's co-champions will make a good building base for Sauer when he goes out after another championship—this one with no argument.
The other holdovers are Joe Crawford, Ken Sperry, Hugh Johnson, Howard Fischer, Marv Small, Bryan Sperry, Hoyt Baker, Dick Bertuzi, Bud French, Forest Griffith, Leroy Robinson, Frank Pattete, and Bill "Red" Hogan.
Ettinger started every game but two and went a full 60 minutes in the games with Oklahoma, Oklahoma Aggies, and Missouri. Big Hugh Johnson answered every starting whistle and averaged over 50 minutes per game.
Fischer started all but the first two, and played so much in that position that no other center lettered. Schmidt, smallest man on the starting lineup, was unbreakable in any game, and he started every contest.
His running mate, Otto Schnellbacher, missed the Tula game because of injuries, but added his time in all other games, starting from the opening whistle.
Marv Small saw a lot of action from the end of the line, and scored an important touchdown right after entering the Missouri game.
Bertuzzi and Pattee opened most of the games in the backfield, and each saw a lot of fast action at their posts, but Hoyt Baker and Bud French came in for some of the rough going in every game. Baker saw the game from the inside almost half the season.
Three former regulars will be back, including Steve Renko, varsity right end under Gwinn Henry, Wally Rouse from the 1944 team, and Charles Moffett, another former Kansas star.
Moffett will have a real battle on his hands to break into the star-studded Jayhawker backfield next year, although he may wind up filling, or trying to fill, the shoes of Ray Evans. That would be a tough job.
Men standing in the way of Mofett's return to a regular halfback post are the shifty Bertuzzi, speed Forrest Griffith, Bud French, and possibly Red Hogan who may be shifted to the left half passing spot.
Jayhawkers Off To Meet Cyclones To Decide Big Six Third Place Spot
The Kansas Jayhawkers will entrain tonight for Ames, Iowa, where they will meet the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow in the game which will decide third place in the Big Six.
Tonight will see the other four teams in the conference squaring off for battles for the ends of the conference standings.
Missouri will be host to the Okla- $ ^\circ $
Missouri will be host to the Oklahoma Sooners, and must defeat the visitors to remain in the race for the championship. A victory for Oklahoma would put the Sooners two games out in front with the title virtually cinched.
If Missouri takes tonight's clash, the deciding factor will be the Jay-hawkers, even though Kansas is out. The Bills are likely to finish as bith as third place.
Also tonight, the Nebraska Conn-huskers will entertain the Wildcats from Kansas State in the deciding game for the league cellar. If the Huskers whip the Wildcats at home, they will pull even with the Aggies in fifth place.
A Kansas State victory would sink Nebraska permanently into the league cellar, as both teams end their season tonight. The Aggies could pull within reach of the loser of the Kansas-Iowa State contest, and might reach a tie for fourth by the season end.
Leading the Kansas scoring attack will be Charlie Black, twice all-American. Teamed with him will be the other members of the Big Three, Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, and center Owen Peck. Wendell Clark is probable starter at guard, although Hal England may get the starting nod at some position.
The Wehde twins, Ray and Roy, will start at forward for Iowa State, with Don Paulsen at center and Ron Norman and John Shepard at the guard posts.

K.U.-M.U. Football Shots
Shown At Sunflower
Pictures of the K.U.-M.U. football game were shown at Sunflower Wednesday night. Wayne Replogle, assistant coach, operated the projector and provided a running commentary for the film. A brief introduction was given by E. C. Quigley, director of athletics.
Huge canyons on the bottom of the sea, extending out from the continents, give every indication of having been cut by rivers on dry land and later submerged in the ocean.
Sooner Sharpie
This is Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma center and top Big Six scorer, who will lead his team against Missouri at Columbia tonight in one of the most crucial games of the league race. A victory for Missouri will give them a tie with Oklahoma for first place.
'Cold Fire' May Warm Up Beaches
San Francisco—(UP) — Girls who would like to look like a "ball of fire" in a bathing suit—and show us one who wouldn't—may start lining up for the revolution in beach scenery.
It's a suit made of "cold fire", a highly secret war-born fabric which produces a color one hundred times brilliant than any previously known.
The fabric actually absorbs the ultra violet from the sun and radiates it on a green light in screaming color. John O. Garrett's bathing suit manufacturer, claims.
The result is visible nearly 10 times as far as an ordinary hue. It was developed by the government for signal flags and ground markers to be visible from bombers flying at stratospheric heights.
Ten Women Make Tau Sigma Tryout

Tyler, Tex—(UP)—The couple approached the Tyler city manager's caution. There had been a bad mistreatment and a birth certificate of their new baby.
Ten women were admitted to Tau Sigma at tryouts in Robinson gym Wednesday night, according to Alice Ackerman, president.
There will be no meeting Tuesday
of the K-U-O-U. basketball game.
"That's wrong," said the father. "What should it be?" asked the secretary.
A secretary dug up the document and reported the child was listed as "Kennard."
And without batting an eye, the father wrote—because he couldn't pronounce it "euothophis Twiska"
Pardon Me, But I Didn't Catch Your Name
The mother said she didn't know what it meant either, but thought it was a fine name.

Kentucky Rated To Win Tourney
Louisville, Ky.—(UP)—The annual Southeastern conference basketball tourney opens here today with Kentucky rated a topheavy favorite to win.
The Wildcats, who swept through their 11 conference opponents during the regular season without a setback, will be gunning for their fourth consecutive tourney championship in the Jefferson county armory.
Way to Phillies' Club Is Through Stomach
Cleanwater, Fla. — (UP) — Philip Kennedy, 19-year-old Brooklynite, a member of the Philadelphia Phillies today, proving that the way to a baseball manager's heart is through his stomach.
Kennedy was turned down cold when he asked the Phils for a tryout, so he took a job as bus boy in the Fort Harrison hotel. At dinner he served Phil coach Cy Morgan two pates of butter and Morgan talked Manager Ben Chapman into giving him another chance. Kennedy took part in infeld practice and so impressed Chapman that the youngster was signed to a Phille contract on the spot.
