UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
OCTOBER 9,1946
BY BILL SIMS (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
The Jayhawkers face a tough game Saturday when they tangle with the Iowa State Cyclones at Ames. The Cyclones always have been hard to beat on their home field, and Saturday should be no exception.
The Iowans have a fine back in Ron Norman, the boy who caused the Kansans plenty of trouble on the basketball court last spring. He is a shifty runner and hard tackler and is the sparkplug in the Iowa State backfield.
Coach George Sauer has scheduled stiff workouts the rest of this week for the Jayhawkers. The Kansas team seemed to be a little overconfident in the Wichita game even though the coaches had told the players it wouldn't be an easy game. Sauer said after the game that the Crimson and Blue eleven wasn't mentally ready for the Shocker tussle.
Perhaps the bobs will be "up" for the Cyclone game since they seemed to be "down" for the Wichita contest.
The stadium probably will be filled for the Homecoming contest with the Nebraska Cornhuskers if the crowd which turned out for the Wichita game is a criterion. It also might be packed for the Oklahoma Aggie battle.
The Jayhawkers will have to show a₁ lot more fight and drive to win the game Saturday than they did in the Shocker battle.

E. C. Quigley, our genial athletic director, may be able to pay off the rest of the stadium debt this year if attendance at the remaining games holds up. "Quig" inherited the job of paying off the stadium debt when he came here as athletic director two years ago, and he has done a wonderful job in lowering the debt.
Perhaps when the stadium is paid for, plans for a fieldhouse will progress more rapidly. A bond issue sounds like the best way to get a new fieldhouse since the legislature will not appropriate any more money for University buildings for another year and a half.

Now that the World Series is even at one-all for the Red Sox and Cards, I can predict the winner. It won't be a new prediction because I picked the same team last April when I stuck my neck out in forecasting the final standings in the two leagues.
I was pretty lucky with the first division teams because they turned out the way I thought, but the second division clubs fouled me up.
1 picked the Red Box to win the Series, and TIL stick with them now. They had to fight to win the first game, and they were completely outplayed Monday. The Cards aren't going to go down without a fight, and they might surprise the Red Sox enough to upset all the dovesters and take the title.
Boston will be hard to beat on their home field, especially with that short left field wall in Fenway park. The Red Sox probably will toss their ace hurler, big Dave Ferriss, at the Cards today hoping to forge ahead. Ferris had the best average in the junior circuit with 25 games won and 6 lost.
The Red Sox still have my vote to win the World Series and maintain their undefeated record in Series play.

Jayhawks Expect 'Tough' Iowa State Team In First Big Six Encounter Saturday
Though not rated high in the Big Six standings, Iowa State should be an adequate test as to how far the Jayhawkers will progress in the conference standings.
Jayhawkere practice sessions are pointed toward Ames, Iowa, this week for what is expected to be as tough a game as K.U. has played this season.
Utopia Is An Impossibility Church Council Secretary Says
Coach George Sauer, who termed the Jayhawkers performance Saturday as "terrible," concentrated on blocking and tackling practice Monday. Scrimmage was held Tuesday.
Sauer expects the Iowa State Clones to be plenty rugged. Mike Michalski's boys have a lot of drive and they employ a wide open style of play, Sauer said. It is hard to tell just what to expect from them.
The Cyclones, defeated by Colorado and Northwestern, came through Saturday with a story book finish to defeat Iowa Teachers 20 to 18.
Sauer hopes to have his men in a better mental condition" than they were against Wichita. The boys are having a tough work out this week. The game Saturday is the first Big Six encounter.
Iowa State supporters say the team which "looked worse winning than it did losing" must regain the edge it lost Saturday if it is to stay in the same game with Kansas.
The Cyclone coaching staff seems to be worried about the same thing as the K. Ü. mentor.
The Jayhawkers, in their game with Wichita, dominated the game only in the second quarter. They seemed to lack the necessary scoring punch and blocking proficiency.
Against Iowa Teachers the Cyclones, except for the first 12 minutes of the second half, were not up to the team that played at Evanston against Northwestern. The smaller Panthers tore the defense to shreds and scored three first half touchdowns and then blocked every scoring effort after the third quarter. The game's winning pass connected 25 seconds before the final gun.
"There can be no Utopia," the Rev. Milton Vogel, secretary of the Kansas council of churches, stated at Tuesday's Y.M.C.A. Town Hall meeting.
"Utopia cannot be, so long as limited human beings have charge of the world's economics," he said. "Too many of us live by the rule that 'What's mine is yours if we can share it.'"
