UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS
OCTOBER 4,1946
BY BILL SIMS (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
It seems that Friday, game-picking day, rolls around all too soon each week. Upsets were common last week, and even the favored teams had a rough time winning in most cases.
My record last week was 11 right, two wrong, with two ties for a 846 per cent correct. Here goes on games to be played tomorrow.

The Jayhawkers should beat the Wichita Wheatshockers tomorrow in Memorial stadium. It will be the first home appearance for the 1946 Kansas eleven, and the team should give the home folks a good show.
It may be a close game, but I'll take the Crimson and Blue to win by three touchdowns or more. The Jayhawkers may start slow, playing without the services of their No. I quarterback, Bill Hogan, but I believe they will send the Shockers back to Wichita with their third straight defeat.
***
In other Big Six games I'll pick Nebraska over Kansas State, Oklahoma to beat the Texas Aggies, Missouri to wallop St. Louis, and Iowa State to win their first game by beating Iowa Teachers.
Nebraska and Kansas State tangle in the first Big Six conference game at Lincoln. Both teams lost last week, but the Cornhuskers played the Minnesota Gophers while the Aggies lost to little Hardin-Simmons. The K-Staters may surprise the Nebraskans, but it looks like the Cornhuskers should come out on top by a couple of touchdowns.
Oklahoma should take the measure of the Texas Aggies without too much trouble unless the Sooners have suffered a severe letdown since the Army game when they put up a game fight before succumbing to the Cadets' reserve strength. Missouri and Iowa State should win easily in their games tomorrow.
***
Skipping over the big games in the nation, I'll take Notre Dame to wallop Pittsburgh, Alabama to win easily over South Carolina, Army to roll over Cornell, Michigan to beat Iowa, Illinois to bounce back against Purdue, and U.C.L.A. to whip Washington.
It looks like Navy over Columbia, Minnesota to hand the Indiana Hoosiers their third straight defeat. Northwestern to upset Wisconsin, and Arkansas to defeat the T.C.U. Horned Frogs.
* *
For the Game of the Week, I'll take the Texas-Oklahoma Aggie battle. The Aggies were surprised by a fighting Arkansas eleven last week, and they'll be out to upset a favored Texas team which has had little trouble in mauling two opponents by overwhelming scores.
Texas has rolled up 118 points in two games while holding their opponents, Missouri and Colorado, scoreless. Coach Dana X. Bible used 63 men last week in an effort to keep the score down, but the reserves ran wild and the final score was 76-0.
This game should present a great battle between two potential members of this year's All-American teams, Bob Fenimore of the Aggies, and Bobby Layne of Texas. Fenimore, the nation's leading ground gainer the past two years, suffered a bip injury last week and may not be at his best.
I'll have to stick with the boys who make up the odds this week and take the Longhorns to hand the Aggies their first defeat in 22 games, but I don't believe it will be a runaway.
