UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
NOVEMBER 1,1946
BY BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Writer
Polish up the crystal ball as your seer goes into action. Here are our predictions of things to come in the football world this week.
BIG SIX
Missouri-Nebraska: The Tigers go into action as 6-point favorites in the "game of the week" which will knock the loser out of a first place tie. We'll string along with the bookies. Missouri.
Kansas-Oklahoma A & M: The Aggies with Bob Fenimore at full strength look too good for a battered Jayhawker eleven. We can hope, but it looks like A. & M.
Kansas State-Iowa State: The cellar battle of the league. Each team is going after its first conference win, but it looks like the Wildcats will be the ones to get it. Kansas State.
Oklahoma-Texas Christian: Not as bad as the Iowa State game, but still a breather for the Sooners. Oklahoma.
THE EAST
Army-West Virginia: The firststring Cadets will get plenty of rest this week. Army.
Notre Dame-Navy: The Irish warm up for Army with the Cadets ancient rivals. Still a warm-up. Notre Dame.
Princeton-Pennsylvania; Kiddin' huh? Penn.
Also, Harvard over Rutgers, Columbia over Cornell, Holy Cross over Brown, Penn State over Fordham, and Yale over Dartmouth.
THE SOUTH
Duke-Georgia Tech: Any team which holds Army to three touchdowns takes a beating, but the Blue Devils are a hardy lot. Duke.
Texas-Southern Methodist: The Longhorns will be out for blood, and probably will come out with a lot of it. Texas.
Texas Tech-Rice: Two of the top teams in the Southwest tangle in this one. Rice rates high in the country, but the Red Devils rate high with us. Tech, by a whisker.
THE WEST
Also, Georgia over Alabama, Kentucky over Michigan State, Tennessee over North Carolina, L.S.U. over Mississippi, and Texas Ags over Arkansas.
U. C.L.A.-St. Mary's: The Bruins are minus one of their best backs, while Wedemeyer is ready to roll. The Gaels are out for an upset and may get it. St. Mary's.
Southern Cal-Oregon: The Trojans won't make the Rose Bowl this year, but still they rate over Oregon. Southern Cal.
Denver-Utah State: Strictly the Pioneers all the way. Denver.
Also, Utah over Colorado, California over Washington State, Oregon State over Stanford, and Nevada over Montana State.
THE MIDWEST
Northwestern-Ohio State: One of two big hurdles between the Wildcats and the Western title is the Buckeye eleven. This one will trip them up. Ohio State.
Illinois-Iowa: Battered by Notre Dame, the Hawks won't fare much better against the Illini. Illinois.
Michigan-Minnesota: Another big gun in the wide-open race is the Wolverine squad. A breather before next week's clash with State. Michigan.
Oklahoma City-South Dakota: The Chiefs go marching along—to their seventh straight win. Oklahoma City.
Also, Indiana over Pitt, Wisconsin over Purdue, Wichita over Washburn, and Tulsa over Cincinnati.
Kilroy Was There
Topeka. (UP)—Kilroy, the phantom GL got into politics today.
A campaign sticker pasted on the street entrance to the Daily Capital building, said. "Qualified through experience and fortitude, Kilroy for state sanitation commissioner."
Hal Moore, K.U.'s Cross-Country Speedster, Still Beats 'Em All
By JOHN FINCH (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Herold "Hal" Moore won his seventh straight Big Six cross-country run at Missouri Saturday, but there was a time when his high school coach said the two-miler "wasn't good enough" to compete on the track team.
Moore is the distance specialist for the Jayhawk harriers who ran his way through the 1945 season undefeated and has been a consistent point winner in the spring track seasons.
At the Ohio state conference meet last year he made his best time for the two-mile course. 9:58.
A 20-year-old Muncie, Ind., product, Hal didn't do any running until he entered the college under the N.R. O.T.C. program in Denison, Ohio.
"My coach at Central high school in Muncie didn't think I was good enough to go out for track," he said, "but when I went into the V-12 program I went out for track rather than take physical training."
Moore decided to go in for distance running because he "couldn't run fast enough" for short distances. He almost gave up the mile when he finished in 15th place in V-12 competition.
Hal came to K.U. in July of 1945, when he was transferred by the navy, and is now an Engineering junior. He prefers to stay here because he likes the school and the track team. He is unmarried, in fact he "hasn't even got a steady." His regularity in training probably takes care of that.
Training is a ritual for Moore, who had an unpleasant experience in his first race. Over the 880-yard course at Denison, Hal was running abreast of the top contender for the race.

"He forced me to run on the outside of the curve," he recalled, "and I couldn't catch him. He beat me about a yard, but that wasn't the worst part of it. I had eaten some sausages before the race, and I really did get sick. I think I learned a lesson from that."
At the beginning of the week Hal warms up by running twice the distance of the race in which he is to compete on Saturday, usually about 4 miles. Later he runs a half mile at "pace time" in around 2:25. The day before the meet he doesn't eat too heavily.

Three hours before the race he has toast and tea with plenty of sugar.
"If you have a tendency to become fat you have to watch the pastries," he said, "but I eat all I want and never get above 130 pounds.
"I don't think running is hard on a person," Hal said. "I think it builds him up."
