The Jayhawkers tangle with Iowa State in their first Big Six conference game of the season tomorrow.
Coach George Sauer has announced four changes in the Kansas starting lineup will be made for the Cyclone game in an effort to improve the Jayhawker attack.
Kansas will have to play a better game against the Cyclones than it did against Wichita if its undefeated record is maintained. I believe the Jayhawkers will be "up" for this game, but the Cyclones are always tough to beat on their home field.
I'll string along with the Jayhawkers to win their first Big Six encounter under Sauer's tutelage. Kansas should win by two touchdowns or more if it plays the kind of ball it is capable of playing.
Incidentally, my batting average on predictions is .862 for the year, and .875 for the past week's guesses.
In the only other conference game, Missouri should take Kansas State without too much of a fight. Injuries may slow the Tigers down, but the Aggies don't have the power to upset Missouri.
Oklahoma journeys to Dallas, Tex. to meet the Texas university Longhorns. There should be little doubt as to the outcome of this game. Texas has one of the great teams in the nation, and they should trample the Sooners with ease.
Nebraska tangles with the surprising Iowa university eleven. I'll stick with Iowa to take this game.
Looking over the top games in the nation, I'll pick Notre Dame to defeat Purdue, Northwestern over Minnesota, St. Marys to topple California, Arkansas to beat Baylor, Illinois to eke out over Indiana, and Ohio State over Wisconsin.
I'll take Columbia to whip Yale, L.S.U. over Texas A. and M., Rice over Tulane, Southern Cal to come back against Oregon State, Mississippi State to take Michigan State, and Texas Tech to upset the Tulsa Hurricane.
Army and Michigan battle in what should be the Game of the Week.
Army was surprised by a fighting Oklahoma eleven a couple of weeks ago and had a hard time winning the game. Michigan has a better team than the Sooners, but the Cadets will have the services of Doc Blanchard again this week.
It should be a good game and a close game. Army has a long winning streak to keep intact, but Michigan has a chance to be the first team to defeat the Cadets in almost three years. Each team should have equal incentive for winning the game.
I'll take Army to win by two touchdowns or more if Doc Blanchard is back in his old form.
K.U. Band Will Go To Manhattan Game
The 1F3-piece University band will accompany the football squad to Manhattan for the Jayhawker-Aggie game Nov. 16, Russell L. Wiley, band director, said today.
The band may make the trip to Columbia, Mo., for the final Big Six game with Missouri, Mr. Wiley added.
Besides playing for all athletic events, the band will present two concerts during the year, Jan. 15 and May 26. Plans for the spring include a series of three short tours to Kansas and Missouri high schools.
Jacobs, Husted Improving From Auto Crash Injuries
Jo Anne Jacobs, College sophomore, who was operated on Tuesday for internal injuries received in an automobile accident Sunday, is progressing well, health service officials said today.
The condition of Shirley Husted, Fine Arts sophomore, another accident victim, was termed "good and improving". Miss Husted is at the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City.
K.U. Track Men To Race Iowans Before Game
K. U. will open a five-meet cross-country season tomorrow in a duel against Iowa State at Ames.
Six harriers from each club will match strides over the Cyclones' two and a half mile course in a preliminary for the Iowa State-Jayhawker Big Six football clash.
Hal Moore, who rambled through the 1945 season undefeated, will lead the Jayhawkers. Moore placed sixth in the national cross-country trials at East Lansing, Mich., last November and was a consistent point winner in the distance runs during the spring track season. He ran second to Nebraska's Bobby Ginn at the Big Six outdoor meet in May to help K. U. win the title. His best time is 9:58.7.
Andy Lunsford, senior letterman, and four freshmen will complete Coach Ray Kanechl's club. Lunsford was a steady point winner for the thinclads last year in the half mile, running sixth at the outdoor carnival at Lincoln, Neb. He also ran the third leg on K. U.'s championship mile relay team.
The yearlings include Earl Jones Missouri state prep record holder from Kansas City; Leon Ackerman, Marysville 440 and 880 product; Darrell Brown, former Oxford high middle distance runner; and Eddie Lunsford, twin brother of Andy who wore Wichita North colors before entering the navy.
Pushing the top six for positions on this season's distance team are Norris Artman, Marysville freshman, Al Brimer, a freshman from Wichita North; David Crowley, senior from Shawne Mission; Wallace Desterhaft, letterman and 440-yard dash star; Don Diefendorf, Waterville freshman; Carl Engwell, first year man from Shawne Mission; and Whiten Godfrey, Shawne Mission junior.
Other contenders are Ross Morrison, Lawrence junior; Dick Rugles, Wichita freshman; Virgil Schmidtberger, former Hays high runner; Royce Johnson, former El Dorado junior college middle distance performer; Harold Cogswell, freshman from Washington Rural high; and Claude Brimer, former Wichita East miler.
In addition to Iowa State, the Jayhawkers will meet cross-country runners from Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and possibly Oklahoma A and M this season. The revived Big Six cross-country meet is booked for Norman, Okla., Nov. 16.

Juncau (UP)—Alaska's hope for statehood were expressed by a two to one margin today as returns from Tuesday's territory-wide elections filtered in from remote areas.
