Three Shutouts And 72-0 Score In Intramurals
Three shutouts were chalked up in intramural touch football play Tuesday afternoon.
In the day's thriller, the Blanks edged past previously undefeated Sigma Nu, 6 to 0. The lone touch-down came in the first quarter when Dale Greene fired two successive passes to Frank Stannard for 43 yards and a touchdown.
Four plays after the opening whistle, Alpha Tau Omega completed a pass into the Physical Education department end zone for a lead which they never relinquished.
The ATO's went on to score 30 points in the first half, but Physical Education tightened up to hold them scoreless for the remainder of the game.
Scoring at least two touchdowns in every period, Beta Theta Pi rolled up the highest score of the current season as they whitewashed Battenfeld club, 72 to 0.
The Beta's intercepted seven Battenfeld passes, three of which were run back for scores. The losers completed only two tosses during the game.
Hub Hall, big Beta end, led the scoring parade with four trips over the final line. Other touchdowns were registered by Hartley, Schwanze, Joseph, Schnell, and O'Neil.
That Man Brecheen Is World's Best, Dizzy Dean Thinks
BY DIZZY DEAN
St. Louis. I hate to keep on bein a bragadagio but I jest caint help it I percived that the Cardinals would
wins the series and it took a lot of hard thinkin but I also suspected they would take this here last game when the knot was tied and they did but I never thank for a second that Harry (Cat) Brecheen would come back to win his third game of the series it jest wasnt in the Cards or so I thot.
But the Cards let me down the deck ones not the Redbirds that Cat guy was called up to duty with two out in the 8th inch and really done a job he set them Red Sox back on there wore heels.
I thought it was the first time a pitcher won three games in a world series until I got to thinkin and then I looked up it it has happened nine times the last time in 1920 never mind who done it it was before the days of Dean and Im sure I never done it incidentally though this was the 10th world series to go to the serpentine limit and the Cardinals have been in four of em and won all four—which is water over the dam.
To git back to that Cat man there aint nothin like him in modern baseball I said he was a great pitcher the other day and I also got to worrin about these modern throwers not being able to come back after a little rest I shouldntive said her look at that guy would hardly no rest a-tall he said that he was ready and willin to come back to start even well they didnt start him but I betcha they could have he was down all oiled up waitin for the call.
Murry Dickson did himself a pretty good job but got in a small jam in the 8th innin and they had to take him out no disgracefulness to any pitcher they done it to me manys the time.
The real hero though was my friend Harry Walker he teeballed off on one in the 8th innin connectin fer a double which scored Country Boy Slaughter with the winnih Cardinal run and the series.
This writen stuff is new to me but its gittin old too young. Tomorrow I'll git down there to Texas quick as I cin to take care of them long horns and hound dawgs of mine—

Five Jayhawkers On Sidelines
A Kansas team plagued with injuries as a result of the game with Iowa State continued to work out Tuesday minus the services of Ray Evans, Dick Bertuzzi, Frank Patthe, Ed Egnatic, and Forrest Griffith.
Evans and Pattee suffered slight concussions in the tussle at Ames. Although considered "physically fit" by the team's physician, Dr. Robert Allen, they may not see action against Nebraska.
Bertuzzi is out with an injured left foot and has not put on a suit for practice this week. Egnatic received an injury in the Denver game and has not reported for practice.
Forrest Griffith who was slated for a backfield slot has a sprained ankle which may make him a doubtful starter against the Cornhuskers.
Lynn McNutt probably will see action from the quarterback position. McNutt was reported ill Monday, but is out for practice now.
The varsity squad went through light drills Tuesday and concentrated on passing offense, kicking and blocking.
Fireman's Holiday
The "B" team, using Nebraska defense, held the reserves to three touchdowns in a 60 minute scrimmage.
Medford, Mass. (UP)—On the first night of his vacation, fire broke out in the home of Fireman Charles Booker, and it took him two hours, with the help of other firemen, to quell the blaze.
Lawyers, Medics Met On Gridiron During By-Gone Homecoming Days
K. U. Homecomings in the past have featured more than one football game.
Fred Ellsworth, Alumni secretary, recalled that in Homecoming's early stages the celebration included a football game between students in the School of Law and the School of Medicine.
The game was played on the Friday afternoon preceding the varsity contest. Challenges and acceptances to the interscholastic grid battle were couched in legal and medical terms.
Players checked out full equipment and although few were in proper-physical shape for the game, t was rough and exciting.
Far from the touch football of today, the game between the two schools was played according to variety rules.
Injuries to players because of inadequate training and poor physical conditions forced the athletic department to discontinue this feature of Homecoming.
Hobo day, which has been a somewhat sporadic feature of Homecoming since its inception, has not been a part of a K.U. celebration since 1941. Its abandonment was prompted by lack of interest and active participation by students.
When Homecomings were held on Thanksgiving day, many students who might have taken part in Hobo day activities, went home instead. It finally came to a point where scarcely more than 300 students took an active part and the custom lost much of its savor.
A wide variety of Homecoming stunts have characterized past celebrations, including a duck race with real ducks on Potter lake and a cross-country race for organized houses on the Friday preceding the
game. Turkeys were given as prizes to winners.
Mr. Ellsworth recalled the big "smoker-rallies" of the 20's which were held in Robinson gymnasium with speeches by old-timers, and programs with cheers and songs dominating the occasion.
"After the Memorial union was built, many rallies were held there," Mr. Ellsworth continued.
With the construction of the north bowl of Memorial stadium and the growth of student interest in the rallies, the locale was shifted to the stadium. Enthusiasm among students, alumni and townspeople ran high and the crowds always took an active part in the activities.

band, a benefit concert to raise
money for band uniforms.
The concert came on the eve of the Homecoming game and Professor Wiley led the band and parade down the Hill to the stadium rally.
