UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SEPTEMBER 23,1946
By BILL SIMS
Kansas played a great game Saturday night, defensively and offensively. It was the finest performance I've ever seen a Jayhawker outfit display, and it gave promise of better things to come. Every man who saw action did a creditable job, but the game showed that the squad still needs a lot of work.
Sauer was happy that his charges held the Texans to a tie. He undoubtedly learned a lot about the weaknesses that must be corrected by watching the Jayhawkers in action against some first class opposition. By the time you see the team next against the Wichita Shockers, I believe you'll be watching a greatly improved aggregation.
The coaching staff has turned in a wonderful job in bringing the Crimson and Blue gridders along since fall drills started. I still don't think we'll have conference champions this year, but the Jayhawkers are going to cause plenty of trouble for any other team in the league.
It's still too early to decide about our line, but the forward wall looked mighty good against a heavier, more experienced gang from the cow country. Perhaps the Kansans were playing over their head, but we'll know in a couple of weeks.
Notes from the stands--The crowd, pro-Kansas for the first time since I've seen the Jayhawkers play in Kansas City, went all out for the aggressiveness and fight of the Kansas team. .Fans cheered when Micklick stole the ball from T.C.U.'s Lucas, a trick the Texans had engineered a couple of times. . .
Quotes from the fans after the game—Sauer is really going to turn out some teams at K.U. . It looks like a Kansas year. . The Jay-hawkers are going to win the Big Six conference this year. . That line looked mighty good to me out there tonight. . Either T.C.U. is not what it's cracked up to be or Kansas is going to be hard to beat. . Wasn't Schnellbacher terrific tonight? . . That Bertuzzi can really scat when he gets the ball. .
T. C.U. had 12 men on the field when the Texans recovered a K. U. lateral in the last quarter, but the officials didn't discover it . . Joslin, the boy who almost single handedly beat the Kansens last year, broke his shoulder, three ribs, and injured his groin when he collided with a Jayhawk.
.. .
I'm glad I started the football season by picking the wrong team since I chose T.C.U. to win. Starting this week, I'm going to try my luck in picking all of the Big Six games and some of the top contests over the nation. Perhaps my percentage of picking the winner will be a little better.
Race Track Pays Off On Wrong Horse
Portland, Ore. (UP) - Waste baskets and the littered floor in front of the pari-mutuel windows today became a $12,000 bonanza after Portland Meadows race track announced "a once-in-a-lifetime" occurrence: the track had paid off on the wrong horse.
The track had to be closed to the public Sunday. Crowds descended on the raceway to look for mutetuet tickets on Dark Lassie after photo finish pictures disclosed that the entry had placed second instead of third as was erroneously reported to the mutetuet windows in the eighth race Saturday night.
Track Candidates Meet Daily At 3:30
Candidates for the 1947 K.U. track team may met Coach Ray Kanehl at the stadium every afternoon from 2:30 on.
Last year's Jayhawkier thinclads won the Big Six conference title, as well as placing many men in outstanding meets around the country
Cincinnati Upset Of Indiana Shows Season Will Be Topsy-Turvy One
New York (UP)—Little Cincinnati set a gridiron tempo today which increased the pulse rate of such prospective powers as Army, Notre Dame, Alabama and Texas.
An overlooked atom in the collegiate football scene, the university of the Rhineland rose up out of its obscurity Saturday to knock over Indiana's defending Big Ten champions, 15-6. It comes as a tip-on on what to expect in a season turned topsy-turvy by stars home from the service.
Any team is likely to run into an unexpected stone wall. Particularly the top teams which take on powerful rivals from week to week. Army, Texas and Alabama romped home in their openers but Notre Dame was looking forward shakily to its inaugural next weekend against a fit Illinois eleven which may provide one of the games of the year.
Army, a 35-0 victor over Villanova, showed it still was plenty of ball club, particularly with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis operating in the backfield. But the reserves are weak and Oklahoma, coming up next, is pointing for the Cadets with every hint of malice aforethought.
Miami, O., followed the Cincinnati nani trend although it fell short in dropping a close 13-7 game to Purdue. Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin upheld the Big Nine name in easy romps.
Texas stood by its reputation with a 42-0 win over Missouri and Kentucky turned in a mild upset with a 20-6 win over Mississippi. But from here the road gets rockier.
The top games this week are Army - Oklahoma, Illinois - Notre Dame and Tulane-Alabama, but every section has a full card of close ones.
In the East: Navy-Villanova; Columbia-Rutgers; Pitt-West Virginia; Cornell-Bucknell; Yale-Kings Point; Harvard - Connecticut, and Holy Cross-Dartmouth.

Eight freshmen, four sophomores, two juniors, and one senior will be chosen. Applications are being received at the intramural office, Robinson gymnasium, and selections will be announced in about ten days, he said.
Oversupply of Bears
Milo, Me. (UP)—There is one thing that Maine is definitely not bare of—bears.
Citizens are having little difficulty collecting the $10 state bounty offered for each bear killed. Nine were shot recently near a lumber camp at Ray Town, several have been run over by motorists on the highway near Patten, and four were shot from an apple tree by Hadley Kneeland of Lincoln.
Prof. Karl Mattern of the drawing and painting department was awarded a $400 prize for his water color, "River Bend in Winter," at the 57th American exhibition in Chicago this summer. The painting is now owned by the Art Institute of Chicago.
Geography Is a Snap To Gypsies' Children
Canton, Ohio. (UP)-Six new pupils who enrolled recently at the Burns grade school in Canton may be a little short on the three R's, but they are plenty long on geography.
Ranging in age from six to 12, the youngsters belong to three gypsy families who have decided to stay awhile in Canton. The new students keep their classmates interested with stories about such places as Boston, Mexico, California, St. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia.
And they hastily add that their mothers do not tell fortunes and that their fathers earn their living as metal workers.
