UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN; LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SEPTEMBER 28,19
A recent survey revealed that 83 former Big Six athletes gave their lives for their country in World War II. And this list may be increased, when schols that haven't close tab on their athletes turn in full reports.
The University of Kansas lists 13 Gold Star athletes.
Kansas State's total of 19 is the largest in the conference, with Oklahoma and Nebraska universities reporting 17 each. Iowa State college has 10 athletes who died in the recently concluded war, and the University of Missouri has seven.

Regulars on this week's Pickograph are athletic director, E. C. Quigley, and Head Coach Henry Shenk, plus your Kansan sports editor. Guest star is LeRoy Robison, letterman at fullback and captain for the T.C.U. game last Saturday.
The four prognosticators were asked to pick the winners of the following Big Six contests to be played this weekend:
Kansas vs. Denver at Denver.
Kansas State vs. Wichita at Manhattan.
Oklahoma vs. Nebraska at Lincoln.
Missouri vs. Ohio State at Columbus.
Iowa State vs. Iowa State Teachers at Ames.
Despite the fact that there was no collaboration among the previewers, all four picked the same teams to triumph. When the Big Six race gets a little tighter, you'll undoubtedly be seeing much variation of opinion among the campus "exports."
The winning teams, according to the progmosticators;
Kansas over Denver; Oklahoma over Nebraska; Ohio State over Missouri; Iowa State over Iowa State Texas; and Kansas State over Wichita.
Trainer Dean Nesmith personally volunteered the opinion that Wichita will take Manhattan on their home territory.
We shall see.

'Give 'Em Hell,' Is Rally Yell
With the wind and the rain in their hair and shouts of "Fight, Kansas, Fight" in the air, the first post-war football rally last night was one of the peppiest send-offs the Jayhawk eleven ever has seen.
Before the West-bound streamliner rounded the curve, at least 300 spirited Jayhawkers had assembled at the Union Pacific station for the send-off.
A steady chant from the crowd called for Coach Shenk.
"The rain hasn't dampened your spirits, I see," the coach volunteered. "It hasn't dampened ours either!"
Meanwhile, girls peered from beneath drooping bangs and stomped on dirty saddle shoes, filled with sanders dug up, as the train pulled into the station.
"The boys are going to Denver determined to win," the coach continued. "With the experience they got in last week's game, they can do it!"
Wilted raincoats, turned-up pant legs, and useless umbrellas spotted the water-soaked platform, as the train pulled out to the tune of "Give 'em hell, Kansas!"

Kansas Faces Denver Tonight
Thirty-three Jayhawk gridsters left Lawrence last night for Denver, where they plan to upset the Denver university Pioneers for the first time in three years.
Amidst cheers from 300 students standing in the rain at the Union Pacific station, team members and the coaching staff boarded the train grinning their determination to have revenge upon the Denver throng.
With a flashy backfield, boasting reserves at practically every post, the Kansans hope to set up a dazzling passing offense. Working from a combination T and single wing formation, the Jayhawkers will be counting on freshman Dick Bertuzzi and fullback Leroy Robison to advance the ball via the ground route.
Frank Pattie of Smith Center will be tossing most of the aerials, with Bill Morrow, Oklahoma V-12, on reserve. On the receiving ends will be Dave Schmidt and Norman Pumphrey, ends, and Robison and Bertuzzi.
Herb Foster will be at the pilot's post, with George Gear, all-state freshman from Hutchinson, to relieve him on the signals. Strong backfield reserves include Lynn Leigh, Stan Jervis, and Bill Collins.
Denver, which was listed by preseason prognosticators, as having the best football team in a decade, dropped one to underdog, Colorado college, last week, to the tune of 12-0.
