SEPTEMBER 30,1946

Several important changes in rules governing intercollegiate football have been made this year by the rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic association.
Under the 1945 rules the quarterback or man nearest the center in a T formation doesn't be to be a yard behind the line of scrimmage if the pass from center isn't intended for him. He can have his hands in a position to receive the ball when passed back between the center's legs, but the ball can be passed directly to another backfield player.
This new ruling puts more deception in the T formation and is definitely a concession to offensive football. The defensive team will have to play smart football to offset the advantage gained by the offensive eleven.

Many fans and coaches have registered complaints about the many intervals during the game when time is out or the teams are slow in lining up for play. The other new rules were made with the idea of speeding up the game.
The ball must be put in play 25 seconds after the referee has spotted the ball under a new regulation. The committee also increased the number of legal time outs to four for each team in each half instead of three.
This sounds as if it would increase the idle time spent on the field, but the new ruling was made with the hope that it would result in less loss of time than under the old arrangement. When legal time outs are not exhausted, substitution from the bench while time is in or after the ball is ready for play, results in a charged time out which, instead of being two minutes long, will be long enough only to complete the substitution.
If the team captain requests a time out, his team will be ordered to get ready for play at the expiration of one and one-half minutes so that actual playing will start at the end of the two-minute interval.
The committee also tried to reduce the time necessary for substitution by having the new player recognized by an official instead of reporting to him. Another change made this year is the deletion of all regulations concerning communication by a substitute on his first play after entering the game.
These rules may not seem so important, but I believe that they will increase the interest in the game from the spectator's viewpoint. If there are any rules of play which you don't understand or any official's decisions in games this season, write me a letter, and I'll try to clear it up for you.

K.U. Wins From Denver But Hogan Will Be Out For Most Of Season
By BILL SIMS
(Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
The Jayhawkers won a football game but suffered a serious loss Friday night when Bill Hogan, first string quarterback, was lost for most of the season with a fractured right leg as the Crimson and Blue defeated Denver university 21-13.
Hogan's loss leaves the Jayhawkers with only two quarterbacks, Lynne McNutt and Tip Mester. George Gear, last year's first string signal caller, has been drafted.
Fumbles were frequent in the game Friday night, and both teams were stopped on what appeared to be touchdown drives when the opposition recovered bobbles. The Jayhawkers fumbled seven times and Denver six times. The Pioneers recovered four of the Kansas bobbies, and Kansas capitalized on three of the Denver miscues.
The second half was packed with action as five touchdowns were scored, the first on the second play from scrimage in the third quarter. Evans to Schnellbacher, a combination feared by every Kansas opponent in 1942, accounted for the first Jayhawker score after Kansas recovered a Pioneer fumble on the Denver 31. Schnellbacher caught the toss on the 20 and galloped across the final marker standing up.
Don Fambrough, converted full-back playing guard, came in to convert his first of three points after touchdown. Fambrough was injured in the T.C.U. game and saw much of Friday's game from the bench.
On the second Denver play after the kickoff, the Pioneer fullback dropped the ball and Hugh Johnson recovered for Kansas. Five plays later Weber, the Denver center, intercepted one of McNutt's heaves and raced 75 yards to paydirt. The kick was good, and the score was deadlocked at 7-all.
The Jayhawkers were not to be denied a victory and started a touchdown drive from their own 34. Bertuzzi gained 19 yards and Evans 16 to put the ball on the Pioneer 31. McNutt was thrown for a two-yard loss, but Evans picked up seven on the next play.
Evans lateraled to Pattie who fumbled and recovered on the 21 for a five-yard advance. Griffith picked up four, and Evans added three. Griffith and Evans combined on the next two plays to put the ball on the Denver two. On the next play, McNutt carried over on a quarterback sneak. Fambrough added the point to make it 14-7.
the third Jayhawker touchdown drive carried 80 yards. French, subbing for Evans, gained 13. Bertuzzi drove to the 40 and lateraled to McNutt who was downed on the Denver 39. French picked up 19, and Griffith and Baker carried to the 15. French gained nine yards, and Griffith lugged to the one. French plunged over left tackle for the final Kansas tally, and Fambrough added his third conversion.
The second Denver score came with only 15 seconds remaining to be played. The Pioneers passed on six consecutive plays, completing three. The last pass, from Pavich to Browning, was good for eight yards and a touchdown. Miller's try for the extra point was blocked.
The Kansas line came through with another fine performance as it held the Pioneer backs to a total of 81 yards gained rushing. The hard-charging Jayhawker forward wall bottled up Karamigios, star Denver ball-toter and one of the best backs in the Big Seven conference, and the Pioneer offense seemed unable to get started without his breakaway plays.

Notre Dame Is Top Team
New York. (UP)—Rolling back the years with its old coach and a host of war veterans, Notre Dame returned to its familiar role as the top football team in the nation today with Texas, Alabama and Army running a dead heat for second.
The conclusive manner in which the Irish throttled Illinois, 26 to 6, indicated Coach Frank Leahy has fashioned another terrific team at Notre Dame in his first season after a hitch in the navy.
Both Alabama and Army had to scramble Saturday to stay up near the top, but Texas unleashed another touchdown avalanche that obliterated Colorado, 76 to 0, and confirmed the unanimous prediction of all the Southwest that Dana X. Bible has achieved his coaching masterpiece. Further evidence: Missouri, trumped by Texas, 42 to 0, held Ohio State to a 13 to 13 tie Saturday.
With Felix "Doc" Blanchard on the sidelines with a leg injury. Army reeled under Oklahoma's savage line play but pulled out its 20th straight victory over a three-season span, 21-7, on an 85-yard run with a recovered fumble by Quarterback Arnold Tucker at a critical moment when the Sooners were threatening to tie the score. Oklahoma outrushed the Cadets, 129 yards to 83, but Tucker gave Army a passing edge of 82 yards to 33 and his 85-yard run showed only on the scoreboard—which was balm enough.
This weekend, Army meets Cornell, which defeated Bucknell, 21 to 0; Notre Dame plays Pittsburg, which thumped West Virginia, 33 to 7, after losing to Illinois by the same score; Alabama plays South Carolina which bumped Newberry, 21 to 0, and Texas tangles with Oklahoma A. and M., victim of an "upset" Saturday when tied by Arkansas, 21 to 21.
Clyde Scott, former Navy star,
turned the trick for Arkansas with
a pair of touchdowns which Bob
Fenimore matched for Oklahoma A.
and M. before his third period
injury.
Texas Christian defeated Baylor, 19 to 16, in the only conference game in the Southwest, but Rice lost an important intersectional game to Louisiana State, 7 to 6.
