UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
NOVEMBER 13,1946
BY BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Writer
Once before in the history of the Oklahoma-Kansas grid feud, a field goal gave the Jayhawkers the margin of victory.
A last-minute placement by Kansas' Mackie gave the Hawkers a 10-9 triumph over the Sooners in 1926.
Kansas, trailing 6 to 1 in the second period, uncorked a real bit of deception to score their touchdown. The ball rested on the Oklahoma 1-foot line when the Jayhawkers came up with this one.
Center Davidson of Kansas bent over the ball, but suddenly straightened and turned to talk to a back-field man. Another lineman snapped the ball to Captain Zuber, left half, who plunged over before the startled Sooners realized the ball was in play.
The fourth quarter saw Kansas hopes take a dip as Mooney of Oklahoma drop-kicked a goal to put the Sooners in front, 9 to 7, but Mackie's place-kick with two minutes remaining gave the Jayhawkers a hard-earned victory.

This week, the Jayhawkers take on their ancient Kansas rivals, the Wildcats from Kansas State, in an important game to Kansas title hopes.
Kansas has won 26 of the 43 games played, with 14 ending up on the Wildcat slate, and three finishing as ties. The last Wildcat victory was an 18-14 upset in 1944, in which Charles Mottett ran 80 yards for the winning touchdown, only to have it called back for a penalty.
There have been several field goals kicked in the series, but none of them was decisive in any of the games.
The Jayhawkers are wary of the Wildcats, who have a good chance to knock Kansas out of the title race for good.
The Aggies would like nothing better than to kill pennant hopes for the Jayhawkers. And it can be done.
Coach Sauer's squad goes into a game absolute favorites for the first time this year, but the outcome isn't as sure as some would have you believe.
Only the injuries of Hogan, Penny, and Fry mar the physical condition of the squad as all the rest of the starters are ready to go.
Tickets are sold out, although a few may be offered at the gate. A capacity crowd of 17,000 is expected to fill the Aggie bowl.
The game would be a battle worth watching, as the Cats will be out for blood, and the Hawkers out for another win to add to the string of those we now hold.
Veterans' Families Move Into Courthouse

Jeeps Used In London
Hunt For Jewel Thieves
London. (UP)—American radio-equipped jeeps reappeared on the streets of London today as a detachment of Provost Marshal's troops joined British police in the greatest jewel thief hunt in Scotland Yard's history.
They arrived at a time when two additional robberies had boosted the total haul in recent weeks to more than $500,000.
The Americans ostensibly were seeking the few remaining G.I. deserters still at large in England.
Detectives indicated that among these fugitives there may be some who have reverted to former civilian activities as big time burglar's.

The association wants to increase the standard bed size from 74 to 78 inches.
A spokesman for the organization said the present size was made standard after World War I, when the average height of soldiers was 67 inches. Today the average has increased an inch and the percentage of six-footers has almost doubled, he said.
