UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
SEPTEMBER 26,1946
BY BILL SIMS
Kansan Sports Editor
The Jayhawkers broke a precedent when they elected Ray Evans captain for the 1946 gridiron season. The Kansas team has always chosen a captain before each game during the season and then elected an honorary captain after the last game.
Evans' election was a tribute to one of the greatest athletes in Kansas history, and it was justly deserved. Evans, an All-American in football and basketball, is one of the most popular men ever to wear the Crimson and Blue.
Riffin' Ray has been paid tribute by coaches and players alike as a real gentleman, both on and off the playing field. He is a great competitor and always plays a clean game.
Ray plays to win, and he instills his winning spirit in his teammates. The Kansas squad couldn't have made a better choice for a man to lead it through the toughest schedule a Jayhawker team has ever faced.
Mike Getto, chosen to serve as assistant line coach, has made a great name for himself in gridiron warfare.
Line coach under Ad Lindsey Getto turned out some fine forward walls when Kansas was shy on backfield material. His advice and knowledge of the game undoubtedly will help strengthen the Jayhawker line play.
Getto was an All-American tackle at Pittsburgh and played professional football after finishing his collegiate competition.
He was line coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers for two years and moved up to head coach the next year. Mike turned down a professional coaching offer this fall under his old coach, Jock Sutherland.
The Jayhawkers will benefit from this latest addition to the coaching staff. His experience and know-how will come in handy when Kansas tackles Oklahoma and Missouri.
Don Faurot, the Mizzou headman, claims the hot weather down Texas way made his Tigers so groggy that they couldn't play good football. Perhaps the Longhorn players had something to do with their inability to make a better showing.
Mr. Faurot went a little farther to say that he believed the Tigers wouldn't be sufficiently recovered by this weekend to put up much of a fight against Ohio State. He probably didn't want to take another chance on the weather.
Jayhawker fans shouldn't put too much stress on the first games Missouri plays this fall. They were overwhelmed in their first three contests last fall, but the Tigers came back to go through the conference season undefeated and end up in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's day. If you remember that game, it was another Texas university outfit that waltzed over the Tigers 40-27.
He could have said it was too cold in Ohio if his Tigers didn't do so well against the Buckeyes.
Temporary First Team Of Rifle Club To Meet
Let's hope this first defeat is a sign that Mizzou won't be so strong as pre-season dope indicated, but, on the other hand, don't build up any false hopes for a Kansas victory until the final gun ends the contest with the Jayhawkers out in front!
The temporary first team of the Women's Rifle club will hold its first practice session at 7 tonight in 203 Military Science building, Frances Chubb, secretary, announced today. Two more practice periods for this team will be held Tuesday and Thursday. Practice periods for all other members of the club will be announced later, Miss Chubb said.
VA Office Open
The branch office of the Veterans Administration in Lawrence, located at 1035 Massachusetts street, is open every weekday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., including Saturday afternoons.
Eight Players, Two Coaches Leave For Denver, Rest Will Go Tonight
Coaches Bob Ingalls and Don Pierce and eight Jayhawker gridders left last night for Denver where Kansas will meet Denver University tomorrow night. The second group, composed of the other coaches and 31 players, will leave tonight.
Leroy Robison, Bryan Sperry, Jim Stevens, Charles Penny, Orbon Tice, Bob Kline, Junior Hess, Les Monroe, and Chet Laniewski accompanied Ingalls and Pierce.
Ray Evans, Bill Hogan, Dick Bertuzzi, Frank Pattee, Dave Schmidt, Junius Penny, Don Fambrough, Don Ettinger, Dick Tomilinson, Hugh Johnson, Otto Schnellbacher, Joe Crawford, Tip Mester, Ed Bray, Paul Turner, Warren Reigel, Duke Burt, Marvin Small, Bud French, Lynne McNutt, Jake Fry, Kenneth Sperry, Howard Fischer, Forrest Griffith, John Dewell, Jo Guinta, Hoyt Baker, Andy Bertuzzi, Carl Hird, Ed Egnatic, Dick Channel, and Don Johnson will make the trip tonight.
Small and Laniewski have been out with injuries for two weeks and will not see action in the Denver game. Both are expected to give first team members plenty of competition when they recover.
The Jayhawkers spent a lot of time in skull sessions this week and were drilled on Denver formations by Coach Wayne Replogle who scouted the Denver-Oklahoma A. and M. game last week. Coach George Sauer also ran his charges through outdoor drills against these plays.
Kansas offensive attack, lacking the extra push necessary to score against T.C.U. last week, was stressed in practice sessions this week.
Jayhawk defensive play also drew a lot of attention from the coaches
Ralph Wygle, 230-pound tackle from Chase, checked out a suit Wednesday. A freshman in 1944, he was just recently discharged from the army.
He played tackle on the 1944 team under Coach Henry Shenk. Wygle should add strength to the tackle position. He played football on a service team last fall.
