Predictors say the Kansas - Nebraska game will be the most exciting Big Six game this weekend.
Other Big Six tussles Saturday are:
Oklahoma vs. T.C.U. at Norman.
Kansas State vs. Iowa State at Ames.
Missouri vs. Michigan State at E. Lansing.
Guest prognosticator this week is LeRoy Robison, who will miss his first game of the season tomorrow because of injuries. "Bobby" picks Kansas, Iowa State, Oklahoma, and Michigan State as winners in this round.
Other seers in this guessing game, Coach Shenk, "Ernie" Quigley, and your editor, agree with Robby's predictions.
HUSK THE HUSKERS
Kansas will not be without a cheering section at Lincoln tomorrow. Busses sponsored by the Jay Janes and the Ku Ku's will take about 70 Jayhawkers to the land of the Cornhuskers. Station WOW, Omaha, will broadcast the game beginning at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
Jap Plane Missed NROTC Captain By Just a Foot
There were some close calls, but he brought his ships home undamaged, with the loss of only one man in almost two years convoy duty in the Pacific.
That's the enviable record of Capt. Chester A. Kunz, commander of the University N.R.O.T.C. unit. Captain Kunz, a veteran of 23 years in the navy, came here to take command just two months after his return from 100,000 miles of escort duty.
His division of six destroyer escorts is credited with at least eight Jap planes and two submarines. In all this action, from Guam to Iwo Jima to Okinawa, Captain Kunz lost one man. A gunner's mate, standing by his station, was killed when struck by the wing tip of a Jap suicide plane. The Jap missed the ship and plunged into the ocean.
In another attack, a Japanese torpedo bomber turned suicide plane dove on Captain Kunz's flagship. The plane missed the ship's bridge by a foot, and hit the water five feet from the hull, the captain declared.
Commanding six destroyer escorts shuttling back and forth across the Pacific is no easy job, but the Captain said his hardest job was that of protecting San Francisco bay the week before Pearl Harbor. Three destroyers were ordered to allow only ships identified as friendly into the key.
It counts simple, but the dense fog, coupled with the facts that the old destroyer couldn't use the radio and that none of the merchant ships knew they had to be identified, really made it difficult. The captain said that one ship nearly ran aground, and a navy tanker almost was blown out of the water during the week.
The navy commander was graduated from Annapolis in 1926. He was on the rifle team and participated in football and wrestling while in school. Commissioned an ensign, he remained in the navy two years seeing service in the second Nicaraguan campaign. He took a commission in the organized reserve until 1940, when he went on active duty as a lieutenant. His home is in Overland Park.
AD Pi Beats Pi Phi's, 34-29
The Alpha Delta Pi's won a torrid volleyball game with the Pi Phi's last night, to squeeze out a 34-29 victory.
Nine points behind the Pi Phi's at the half, the ADPI trio of Lucille Land, Elizabeth Schindling, and Bobette Sellers started a set-up routine which the Pi Phi's could not overtake.
Corbin hall took Delta Gamma for a 38-21 win. Edith Boehmer, Marie Horseman, Margery Stubbs, and Coral Park were star players for Corbin hall.
Chi Omega beat IND's 44-19 and Gamma Phi Beta beat Tipperary hall 46-35. The Gamma Phi's used substitutes most of the game.
Hockey Team Whips Ottawa, 2-0
The K. U. women's hockey team defeated Ottawa University, 2-0 here Thursday.
Violet Conard dribbed the ball down the sideline into the Ottawa goal twice, with the consistent help of Mariorie Free, forward.
Edith "Speedy" Boehmer played the picture of her nickname by keeping the ball on the move in the wing position. The few times the Ottawa team brought the ball near the K. U. goal, Joan Lippleman, goalie, knocked it out of the danger zone.
Evans Carries On For Superbombers
Colorado Springs, Colo. (UP)—Ray Evans, Jayhawker '41-42 football star held top honors for the leading ball carrier of the Second Air Force Superbombers with an average of five yards each time he carried the ball.
The former All-Big Six halfback has occupied the spotlight since the injury of Frankie Sinkwich. Evans has netted 285 yards in 57 attempts from scrimmage in the six games the team has played this year.

The result of the four days we have had to do this will be shown Saturday. Milford Collins, who played most of the Wichita game, will get the starting assignment. Although he lacks Robison's speed, I am confident he will do his best.

The squad suffered a body blow last week when LeRoy Robison, dependable fullback, received a broken collar bone which will keep him out of football for the rest of the season. Our biggest problem has been developing replacements for Robison from new boys who have reported this week.
This week it is Nebraska. No longer does the K.U. football team have to face the tremendous psychological handicap of not having beaten Nebraska since 1916. But it has been 29 years since Kansas has defeated Nebraska at Lincoln! We hope to turn the trick by beating the Cornhuskers this year —at Lincoln.
Wayne Hird and Dick Bertuzzi, our other cripples, should be able to play some this Saturday, although they are not in the best shape. Max Kennedy, one of the ends who started in the Wichita game, will be unable to make the trip due to injuries. The rest of the squad is in good shape.
We Have the Stuff To Win, Shenk Says
By HENRY SHENK Head Football Coach
735 Mass. Street Lawrence, Kansas
"Potsy Clark," my old coach, will have his boys keyed high for this game, but we are going to "shoot the works" against Nebraska. We want a win. Nebraska is rated a favorite but we have the stuff to beat them if we have the will to win. It should be a great game with victory going to the team that makes its breaks.
B-29's Fly Nonstop Japan to Washington
Washington. (UP)—Four B-29's completed the first non-stop 6,544-mile flight from Japan to Washington last night, and today the air forces are planning a new test for the super-bomber-an assault on the British-held nonstop distance record, 7,158 miles.

his more speedy secondary mates.
Jack Rader, hard-driving, 160-pounder, has flashed more drive than any regular halfback on quick-opening thrusts and wide reverses off Coach Shenk's standard single-wing. Bob Ulrich will see plenty of action in relieving regulators Dave Schmidt and Norm Pumphrey.
Gridders Set To Break Jinx
The Jayhawkers may present a revised lineup by kickoff time Saturday. Probable starters will include Norm Pumphrey and Dave Schmidt at ends; Duke Burn and Bob Moore, tackles; John Dickerson and Frank Burke, guards; and Tex Langford, center. Marxmiller is slated to take over for the battered Bertucci at right half and Charles Conroy will open instead of George Gear at quarterback. Milford Collins, Robison's 23-year-old understudy, will start at fullback, with Patte at tailback.
This crew averages 181 pounds in the line, five pounds less than the Nebraska front wall weight standard. It scales 175 pounds in the backfield.
The Cornhuskers have scored only one touchdown in three Big Six games.
Other Jayhawkers who will make the trip include John Armstrong, end; Rusty Baltis, center; Bobby Burch, tackle; Lawrence Channell, guard; Albert Chase, end; Neal Cramer, quarterback; Dud Day, guard; Bob Dvorak, end; Herb Foster, quarterback, Robert Gove, guard; Pat Green, fullback; James Irwin, guard; Don Jarrrett, tackle; Stan Jervis, halfback; Duane McCarter, guard; Dale Morrow, halfback; Joe Samet, tackle; and Ben Wilson, touch.
