UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
DECEMBER 3. 1946
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
All that's left of the 1946 football season are some happy memories and the New Year's Day bowl games.
Eyes are now turning toward the bowl games on Jan. 1.
Kansas finished the season with its best record in many years, and its second conference championship in the history of the school.
For a while, some Kansas fans anticipated a bid to one of the bowls, if the Jayhawkers downed Missouri, but other happenings in nationwide games sealed the 'Hawkers out of a major bowl.
Which may be just as well for Kansas after all.
Ray Evans, captain and backfield mainstay of the Kansas squad, also holds down a high position on the cage squad, a perennial Kansas power.
After arguing with Coach Allen that they needed to get back in basketball condition, the two grid stars hurried back from a grueling football game to spend Friday and Saturday on the boards.
Otto Schnellbacher, another grid star, also is a key man in Coach "Phog" Allen's plans. The big boy was an all-conference forward last year, and looks like a good bet to repeat.
Both these players thought so much of their basketball careers, now that the football season has ended, that they returned from Columbia Friday to work out.
The Jayhawker cage squad is still working on fundamentals, especially for football players who just started to work on the things which have been drummed into practice since September.
SPORT magazine rates Kansas as sixth in national basketball according to a pre-season poll. At the top is Illinois, followed by Kentucky and Indiana. Oklahoma A & M rates tenth, and the Sooner powerhouse from O.U. is not mentioned.
Here is the bowl picture as it stands now:

Cagers Open Season Friday At Emporia
With the basketball season opener less than a week away, Coach Forrest Allen's cagers continue to drill on fundamentals and set plays.
Several football players recently have been added to the squad, and the problem of timing is receiving more concentration. Set plays and defensive tactics take up the major portion of practice time.
The Jayhawkers will open the season at Emporia Saturday, with both "A" and "B" team games. Their opponents will be Kansas State Teachers.

Group Fights School Law
Topcka. (UP)—A "Kansas Rural School association" has been formed by representatives of 27 Kansas counties here to fight certain features of the state school reorganization law.
The association favors consolidation of rural schools but claimed that the reorganization committees set up in each county had too much power and the rural district electors did not have enough in reorganization.
Aptitude Tests Point Toward Engineering, But Charles Roter Writes Plays 'On Side'

by the school drama society, the Masques club. Roter says.
The play revolves around a high school teacher, who, tiring of the rigid conventions imposed on her by society, dreams of throwing off the shackles and letting her suppressed desires assert themselves. When the devil says "yes", her dreams come true and there's hell to pay.
Phi Delta Theta took the measure of 941 Club by a score of 41 to 16. Mitchell racked up 15 points to pace the victors. DeLongly counted 5 times for the losing team.
"The Devil Said Yes" is Roter's first play and it has a cast of 15 characters. If the play meets his expectations, he says it won't be his last. At present, he is toying with an idea for another play, but has not yet had time to write it. "The Devil Said Yes" is the fruit of the past summer's work, he says.

"I would like to bring the play to K.U. and rewrite it as a musical comedy since several students have expressed a desire to see a musical comedy produced on the campus," he says.
