Maddox Dies Of Heart Ailment
The professor who helped plan the proportional representation plan of voting for K.U. students is dead.
He was a member of Kappa Sigma, Phi Mu Alpha, and Phi Sigma Alpha, professional political science fraternity.
He was William Rolland Maddox,

Mr. Maddox called the proportional representation way of voting "a valuable laboratory for civic education." He helped set up the plan for the old Men's Student council, which was a student governing body on the campus before the All-Student Council was formed.
He has been on the University faculty since 1931. Mr. Maddox is survived by his widow and a daughter, Margaret, 10, at 1701 Mississippi street, and his parents, Dr. and Mrs. W H. Maddox, Wauseon, Ohio.

Through the games with Texas Christian and Denver, Schnellbacher has grabbed seven passes for a total gain of 178 yards. Second in the nation is Neill Armstrong of Oklahoma A. & M. whose pass receptions have netted him 161 yards.
Also high in the national rankings is the Iyahawk quarterback, "Red" Hogan now sidedeline with a broken leg. In total offense (gains from both rushing and passing) Hogan holds the fourth spot with a net of 234 yards. In percentage of passes completed he is ninth in the nation with a mark of 11 completions in 24 attempts.
Moving on to the Big Six rankings, Schnellbacher and Hogan give K.U. the top spots in their respective fields of pass receiving and forward passing. Second to Hogan in the latter department is the Jayhawk ace, Ray Evans, with three completions in six attempts for 78 yards. In eight place, same category, is Dick Bertuzzi, first string wingback, who has heaved two aerials and completed one good for 20 yards.
Bertuzzi ranks No. 1 in another department, punt returns, where his one effort was a neat jaundit of 24 yards. Hogan's average on punt returns, 10 yards a try, gives him the third spot, and freshman Forrest Griffith is ninth with one runback for six yards.
Hopkins of Missouri tops the bell carriers, with Evans and Bertuzzi next in order. Rankings on rushing are on the basis of net yards gained with Hopkins amassing 120 yards in 12 attempts. Evans has 101 yards in 24 tries and Bertuzzi's tally is 100 yards on 16 carries. Griffith also is in the running here, ranking seventh with 50 yards gained in nine attempts.
As further evidence of Evans' value to the team, he is found second only a Schnelbacher in the Big Six as a pass receiver. Ray has ripped off 107 yards on the three passes he has hauled in, to date. His alternate, "Bud" French is 10th in this field, with one pass caught for 10 yards.
In sixth spot among the punters of the conference is fullback Frank Pattete, whose 10 kicks have averaged 37.7 yards. None of the five men ranking above him has punted more than twice.
