More about the Iowa State game K.U. made 10 first downs, seven by the ground route, and Iowa State chalked up 12, eight through the air. . . . The passing average of Iowa State was above that of K.U., with the Cyclones completing 13 out of 25, and the Jayhawks connecting on only five of 21. . . . The Jayhawks, however, broke up four of those clicking Iowa State nerials, while I.S.C. made only one interception. . . . Two centers, Ben Wilson and Wayne Hird, and two backs, Dick Bertuzzi and George Gear, were the boys who sneaked in on those interceptions. Kansas returned four kick-offs 91 yards, while the Cyclones were able to travel only 12 yards with two. . . . The Jayhawks, sparked by the running of Leroy Robison, stacked up 197 yards rushing, to 150 for the Iowaans.

A Lawrence resident, Hird commutes six miles to school daily, after helping mom and dad with the farm chores. He is a member of A Cappella choir, K-Club, and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
Brainy as well as brawny, Hird marked up a 1.9 average with a 17-hour load last semester. He plans to enter med-school this fall.

Hank Almost Series 'Goat'
Chicago, Oct. 9. (UP)—Hammerin' Hank Greenberg, a ball player's player, received a "break" from the sports reporters today—from about 400 guys who did not want to see the big Detroit outfielder crucified as the "goat" of the 1945 World Series.
These writers, veteran typewriter punches who have written thousands of words about that "slugging Greenberg boy," lined up solidly in their protests against the official scorsers who charged Greenberg with an error in the 12th inning of yesterday's game, permitting the Cubs to win, 8 to 7, and squaring the series at three games apiece.
The questionable play came in the last half of the 12th inning with the Cubs at bat and the score tied 7-all. Pinch runner Billy Schuster was on first base when Stan Hack rifled a single to left field. The ball took a crazy bounce, jumping over Greenberg's head and rolling to the left field wall about 365 feet from home plate as Schuster scampered home with the "big" run—the game winner and the one that gave the Cubs a ticket into the final game.
The official scoring trio, members of the Baseball Writers' association, credited Hack with a single at the time and charged "the Greenberg boy" with a two-base error.
Thus the handsome, Bronx-born slugger, whose big bat gave the Tigers the American League pennant, was marked down as a "bum," the guy who permitted the Cubs another chance at the world series title.
But five hours after the game, in World Series headquarters, the storm broke as one after another of the sportswriters told their fellow craftsmen, who are serving as official scorers, that it was an unjust decision because Greenberg never had a chance at the crazy, skipping ball. The official threeesome reversed their stand.
In erasing the blot, Haley said the scorer's had "unanimously agreed that the ball took a bad hop," and Greenberg was guiltless.

Historical Odds Hunt Ichabods
Meeting the Kansas Jayhawks for the 35th time since 1891, the Washburn university Ichabods will have historical odds against them. In 35 encounters, the Jayhawks have won 26, lost five, and tied four of the games.
Still displaying ear-to-ear smiles for the feat of keeping mighty Iowa State under control last Saturday, the fighting Jayhawks are looking forward to easier opposition this weekend.
Washburn will journey from Topeka Friday afternoon to be ready for the kickoff at 8 p.m. under the lights in Haskell stadium Friday night.
night. Since 1912, the Washburn Ichabod have failed to humble the Jayhawkers. Rivalry between the two schools dates back to 1891, when both were just little red school houses on a hill.
The 1944 version of the battle saw a confident Jayhawk squad take the season opener easily in a 47-0 score. Constant disappointments by both teams as Uncle Sam called top-ranking players into action, left the 1943 tilt in a scoreless tie.

1938, the Jayhawk squad smothered Washburn, 58-14, in one of the roughest games seen on Mt. Oread. Three players were banished from the game and twice the referee stepped off 15 or more yards for unnecessary roughness. The score, however, was the largest chalked-up by a Kansas team since 1923.
lar players in the majors with his fellow workmen, at no time protested the accusation although he indicated his displeasure.
Later last night, when the United Press informed him of the change, Hank said:
"Thanks a lot fellows. I appreciate it."

handled by health service physicians each year. Sometimes the student is more subtle in presenting his troubles. He comes to Watkins memorial hospital convinced that he has stomach ulcers. After a physical examination and careful questioning, the doctors discovers he is brooding over a girl who has had a change of heart.
From consultations with students, health service physicians have been able to classify student problems according to five basic causes--poor eyesight, family difficulties, economic worries, poor grades, and unsatisfactory love life.
Geologists Take Trip
The bed pan phase of the University health service—bandages, soup and water diets, sterilized instruments, and daily temperature checks is a familiar side of the story. Words in private with a doctor make another angle.
Two field trips were conducted today for the students of general geology to Lecompton quarry by Dr. L. R. Laudon of the geology department. The trips were given both for the morning and afternoon class.
