KUIn'Dark Horse'Position In Wide Open Big Six Race
34-0 Win Over Kansas State Boosts Jayhawkers Into Four-Way Tie For Lead
Pre-season predictions giving Kansas the dark horse role and an outside chance to finish first in the Big Six conference almost have become a reality as a result of K.U.'s 34 to 0 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats Saturday.
With the conference lead split among Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, the Missouri Tigers remain the only obstacle for the Jayhawkers to overcome for a tie in
hawkers to overcome for a tie in the Big Six.
If Oklahoma and Nebraska wind up in a deadlock Saturday, and K. U. has a successful Turkey day, the conference flag would be on Mt. Oread for the first time since 1920 and the second time since conference play began in 1928.
After a first half in which the Wildcats failed to get past the mid-field stripe but held the Jayhawkers to one score, Kansas broke loose with a four-touchdown barrage in the third period to put K. U. fans at ease and crush the hopes of the Homecoming crowd of 17,000 for the first Wildcat victory of the season.
In defeating Kansas State the Jayhawkers wiped out what was considered to be one of the most formidable foes in the circuit as far as K. U is concerned. The series always has been full of upset possibilities no matter who happened to be the favorite.
Don Fambrough, who kicked four out of five extra points, set up K. U.'s first touchdown opportunity when he recovered a blocked Kansas State punt on the Wildcat 27-yard line. Two 15-yard penalties, one of which nullified a touchdown pass from Ray Evans to Lynne McNutt, stopped the drive.
With one minute to go in the first quarter, K. U. took killer Kramer's punt on its own 43-yard line. On the second play Evans cut across his own right tackle and sped 56 yards down the sideline for the first touchdown. Fambrough's kick for the extra point was wide.
Kansas opened the third period by again proving to the opposition that it's disastrous to make mistakes when there are Jayhawkers around.
The second quarter was a battle with neither team getting into a scoring position. Kansas St ate picked up its second first down when Quarterback Louis Turner drove through to his own 47-yard line only to be thrown for a 5-yard loss on the next two plays.
Hoyt Baker, in at fullback for Frank Pattee, recovered Kramer's fumble on the Kansas State 32-yard line. Evans completed a pass to McNutt on the 26, and Baker drove over for a first down on the 22-yard line.
After two and one-half minutes in the third quarter, McNutt passed to Evans who cut around his own right end and ran 22 yards for the touchdown. Fambrough booted through the uprights to make the score 13 to 0.
Within one minute K. U. had another touchdown when Joe Crawford, right guard, fell on Fullback Norman Rothrock's fumble, and Evans took the ball on the first play, skirted his right end for 12 yards and scored standing up. The placement by Fambrough was good.
The third scoring drive began at mid-field. A lateral from Baker to McNutt put the ball on the 38-yard line. McNutt shot a pass over the center of the line which was tipped by a Kansas State player, and Don Ettinger, K. U. left tackle who played a brilliant defensive game all afternoon, caught the ball and drove for 5 yards to the 33.
Baker went around the Wildest left end to the 23-yard line, and a pass from McNutt to Leroy Robison put the ball on the 3-yard stripe. Baker drove through the center of the line to pay dirt, and Fambrough kicked to make it 27 to 0.
On the last play of the quarter Ted Grimes, Wildcat quarterback, tossed a pass which was intercepted by Bud French, left halfback, who stiff-armed his way 52 yards for a

touchdown. With Fambrough's kick, the scoring ended at 34 to 0.
Kansas State made its only threat in the fourth quarter against K. U.'s reserve line. The Wildcat line charged in to block Pattee's punt and recovered the ball on the Kansas 31-yard line. The drive ended on the 17 when Coach George Sauer sent his Varsity forward wall back into the game.

U.S. Wants United Nations To Tell Armed Force Size
Lake Success. (UP)—The United States was ready today to press its proposal in the UN General assembly that all the united nations make public the size and location of all their armed forces—those stationed at home as well as abroad.
Delegates of the 51 united nations were set to plunge into the controversial matter of allied armed forces, where they are stationed throughout the world and why.
The subject will be Soviet Russia's formal request that the UN require its members to list publicly the size and disposition of their armed forces and bases in friendly countries. It would require the United States and Britain to publicize the facts about their troops in such places as China and Latin America or Greece and Iraq, but would not require much information from Russia.

Phog, On 61st Birthday, Is 'Scared To Death'
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, K.U.'s nationally-famous basketball coach, celebrated his 61st birthday today, and looked back on a winning record of 40 years in basketball.
His coaching job has given him what he describes as his most precious possessions, "excellent health and a host of friends collected throughout the years."
This year he's starting his 30th year at the University of Kansas. In that time he's won 20 Big Six conference championships or co-championships. In 1923, 1936, 1942, and 1945, he coached all-victorious Big Six teams.
He won't make any predictions about the 1946-47 team. "Everyone else is strong, too," he said, "and, frankly, I'm scared to death."
His all-time coaching record at KU, is 626 games won, and 146 lost.
