UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
NOVEMBER 21, 1946
By BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Writer
Coach George Sauer and his assistants are getting praises from the Downtown Quarterback club, not only for their work in turning out a top-flight team, but in their interest in developing the club itself.
Due to their "sincere and congenial leadership," the club has become a Monday night institution in Lawrence, boasting a membership of more than 150.
Each member pays dues and carries a membership card which admits him to Monday night sessions. * * *
Coach Don Faurot of the Missouri Tigers is getting his Bengals in shape for an air game against Kansas, with every man in the backfield throwing passes in practice.
The Tiger coach was extremely disappointed in the showing made by Missouri against Oklahoma Saturday. With almost no passing attack, the Tigers held a minus total in yardage until a late drive against the Sooner reserves.
Oklahoma moved up into a virtual eight - man line and completely stopped the Missouri ground attack by smothering plays before they could get underway.
With the football season drawing to a close, eyes are beginning to turn to basketball, both in varsity and in intramural competition.
The finals in intramural touch football will be played tomorrow in Memorial stadium with Henry Shenk, Ray Kanehl, and Reginald Strait as officials.
Intramural basketball will present a 54-team "A" schedule with possibly a few more to be added. Approximately 20 "B" teams will enter competition.

Tomorrow's football predictions:
Coffeyville J.C. vs. Independence J.C.—The Red Ravens from Coffeyville are out of the running for the "little Rose Bowl," but they still have their 37-game winning streak and the conference title to defend. With all that incentive, how could they miss? Coffeyville.
Arkansas City J.C. vs. Fort Scott J.C.-The Ark City Tigers still have a chance at that bunting, provided Independence can pull an upset. The Bengals, with all-State candidate Earl Grinnel in the saddle, will roll. Arkansas City.
Hardin - Simmons vs. Howard Payne—Hardin - Simmons, undefeated and untied, is one of the Sun Bowl candidates. This one won't get in the way. Hardin-Simmons.
Louisiana State vs. Fordham—The Rams don't have what it takes to down one of the Southern conference powers. Louisiana State.
Baker vs. Ottawa—A tough one to pick, but our choice lies with the conference leaders. Baker is on top, and needs this one to stay there. We think they'll get it. Baker.
Chemical Engineers Elect Officers
Gerald McGrew was elected president of the student branch of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers at a reorganizational meeting Wednesday.
Other officers elected were Vernon Foster, vice president; Betty Sand-born, secretary; and George Billuris, treasurer.
Inactive since 1943, the organization is open to all students enrolled in chemical engineering. Dr. S. A. Miller, of the chemical engineering department, is the faculty adviser.
'Mathematicians Are Human'
The human interest angle on famous mathematicians will be presented to members of the Mathematics club by Marilyn Whiting, College senior, at 7 p.m. tonight in 222 Frank Strong hall. Miss Whitting, a mathematics major, will head the program at the club's regular meeting.
'B' Team Prepares For K-State; Varsity Squad Gets Light Drills
The Jayhawker Varsity squad went through light drills Wednesday while the "B" squads got down to hard work and scrimmaged until after dark in preparation for the reserves' game against the Kansas State "B" team Saturday.
A "white" team composed of regular "B" squad members lost to a "blue" team 12 to 13 in the practice ___ condition held on the studio.
session held on the stadium field.
Saturday's game will mark the second time the two "B" elevens have met this year. Early in the season the Jayhawkers defeated the Wildcats 14 to 0 at Manhattan. At that time the reserves were pacer by a strong forward wall which resembled the Varsity starters of 1945
Now the Varsity squad has improved to such an extent over last season's squad that the "B" elevens have made corresponding advances in the improvement of their play.
Coach Wayne Replogle's reserve team boasts a strong running and passing attack with Cliff McDonald, 175-pound quarterback, working from the key position. Other members of the probable starting lineup include Junior Hess, left half; Dale Mallon, right half, and Roland Eilertz, 6 foot 185-pound fullback
In the line Replogle may use Dick Tomlinson, 18-year-old 200-pound guard, John Dickerson, another 200-pounder at a guard position; Ed Lee, at left tackle; Ship Winter at right tackle; Bob Kline at center; and Orbon Tice, former all-state tackle, at left end. The right end position is still open.
The first twenty-five men on the Varsity squad are declared ineligible to play in "B" team competition. That leaves plenty of material to pick from for the tussle this weekend.
The game will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday. Students will be admitted on their activity books.
Kansas is stil mentioned as a bowl possibility. Officials of the Cotton bowl witnessed the Missouri-Oklahoma game Saturday, probably to get a line on the Sooners.
If Oklahoma beats Nebraska, and Missouri whips K.U., the Sooners will likely get the bid. However, if Kansas defeats the Tigers and moves into a tie with Oklahoma for first place, K.U. may get the bid on the strength of the Jayhawkers victory over the Sooners.
Coach George Sauer believes that K.U.'s chances are slim because of the Tulsa rout. The Jayhawkers have shown so much improvement in recent weeks, however, and they do boast some well-known grid stars which would attract the fans.
Kansas already has hung up the best winning record in more than a decade, and a bowl bid would be a fitting climax to a record season.
Cadets Reorganize National Rifle Club
The National Honorary Society of Pershing Rifles was reorganized this fall at K.U. after an absence of three years. The organization is composed of outstanding R.O.T.C. cadets.
The chief aim of this organization, which functions as a military unit and school club, is to promote interest in military service. It will perform during the year at various basketball games and exhibition drills.
Temporarily appointed officers are Capt. R. A. Franklin, 1st Lieut. Theron L. Brewer, 1st Lieut. James N. Winblad, and 2nd Lieut. Ira Dean Jordan. Maj. J. E. C. Witt is advisor.
Colored movies of the K.U.-K. State game will be shown at 5 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas room. Last week, the Iowa State pictures were shown to approximately 150 persons. The music room will be open from 1 to 3 p.m.
The club was originally organized by General Pershing, with national headquarters at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
Meetings are tentatively set for 5 p.m. every Tuesday.
