Ever heard of nine-man football. Well, neither did we, but you're liable to see it on the K.U. field almost any day now.
Al Steinhauer got the team off to a good start by breaking a leg earl'y in the fall practice session, and in the T.C.U. game Duane Cochran received a broken collar bone. Dave Schmidt, though back on the squad list, is still nursing an arm injury
All the above named are ends. That's what we say—nine-man football. No ends!
RALLY TONIGHT!
Most notable is the penalty for an out-of-bounds kickoff which caused fans some consternation at Saturday's game in K.C.
With the 1945 football season under way, it might be well for football fans to brush up on the rule changes.
You will remember that Lymn Leigh kicked off twice for KU. Instead of bringing the ball in on the 20 when the ball went out-of-bounds on the kickoff, KU. had to kick again.
The new rule provides that there is no penalty for the first kickoff going out of bounds, but the ball must be kicked again. If the ball goes out on the second try, unless touched by an opponent, it will be the opponent's ball on the yard line from which it was kicked.
BALLY TONIGHT!
A few more changes in the grid iron code:
(1) A forward pass may be tossed from any point behind the line of scrimmage, instead of five yards
(2) A player's hands must be in contact with the body in blocking. "Locked hands" is prohibited.
(3) The center shall have no part of his body ahead of the forward part of the ball and his feet must be behind the ball, when snapping the ball back.
(4) Incoming substitutes may report to any of the three or four officials, instead of only to the umpire.
(5) On the kick-off or in place-kicking the ball may be elevated one inch from the ground. A new "toe" has been provided for this change.
RALLY TONIGHT!
Tomorrow the Kansan introduces a new Friday sports feature—the Pickograph.
The four members of the coaching staff, athletic director E. C. Quigley, and each Saturday's game captain will join this column in picking the winners of Big Six games for that weekend. Results will be announced each Monday, and a running score will be kept.
At the end of the season you will be able to tell just how much your coaches and players—and your spe.—writer—know about the Big Six gridiron picture.
RALLY TONIGHT!
Civilian members of the football squad outnumber the navy squad-men for the first time in several years, including the "A" and "B" teams. The "A" squad consists of 27 navy men and 23 civilians, the "B" of one navy man and 19 civilians.
Last year's squad listed 14 civili- iams—the rest navy.

Students Rally at Station Tonight As Jayhawks Leave for Denver
Students will stage the first rally of the football season at 7 p. m., when they gather at the Union station to give 33 members of the Jayhawker squad a rousing send-off to Denver.
The University of Kansas tangles with the Pioneers of Denver university tomorrow night.
The Jayhawkers will be out for revenge against the Pioneers, who have bowled them over twice and tied them once in three years. The Kansans lost 19-6 in 1943 and ended in a 14-14 draw last year.
Coach Henry Shenk will run his players through one more rugged practice session this afternoon, with emphasis on aerial attack. The Jayhawker offensive combines single wing and T formations this year.
"I think the game's just about a tosse-up." Shenk commented this morning. If we were playing Denver here, I'm sure we would take them, but that 13-hour train ride won't rest our boys any."
The team will leave Lawrence at 7:25 this evening and leave Denver early Saturday morning, arriving in Lawrence about 10 c'clock Saturday night. While in Denver the team will be at the Shirley-Savoy hotel.
Coaches Shenk and Huffman and trainer Dean Nesmith and the following squad members will make the trip.
V-12 Traincés-Dan Arata, John Armstrong, Ken Arnold, Bob Burch, Frank Burke, Milford Collins, Neal Cramer, Dud Day, Herb Foster, Bob Gove, James Irwin, Don Jarrett, Starley Jervis, Ceill Lunford, Lynn Leigh, Duane McCarter, Robert Moore, William Morrow, Norman Pumphrey, LeRoy Robison, and David Schmidt.
Civilians — Rusty, Balthis, Dick Bertuzzi, Duke Burt, Charles Conroy, John Dickerson, George Gear, Hub Hall, Wayne.Hird, Rex Maxmiller, Frank Pattie, Joe Shamet, and Merle Zeller.
Clyde Hubbard, head Denver mentor, recently discharged from the army, is smiling over the return to the squad of flashy halfback, Johnny Karamigios, and tackles, George Miller and Ed Schneider.
Some individuals advanced the theory that a Jayhawk is a combination of the jay and the hawk, with the quarrelsome instincts of the latter. Most persons, however, have been content to treat the animal as purely a creation of tradition. Jayhawk Had a Mission
Jayhawk Myth Lives On to Fight With Kansas Spirit
Through the years on Mt. Oread there has been much speculation as to the actual nature of the Jayhawk, traditional symbol of Kansas and her University.
"The Jayhawk is a creation of mythology," wrote John. Ingalls. "Every nation has its myths, human and animal, and they are accepted as facts. There was an age when the Jayhawk flew in our troubled
atmosphere. It was a bird with a mission. It was an early bird and caught many a Missouri worm. It did not allow salt to be put on its tail."
You Need a Billfold to carry "on campus" and we have them
The earliest use of the word Jayhawk seems to have been in 1849 when a party of adventurers from Illinois, who called themselves Jayhawkers, made the nickname famous in California's Death Valley. The name became common during the territorial troubles and was at first applied to both sides. Jennison's regiment of Free-state men, as well as Quantrill's raiders, were at one time called Jayhawkers. The name finally stuck to the anti-slavery side and eventually to al the people of Kansas.
The Jayhawk is peculiarly an expression of the spirit of Kansas. Like the state, it was born in adversity and its flight is to the stars. It is a fighting bird, full of the tough humor of the territorial soldiers who first made it their mascot.
When World War II ended, the Jayhawk had fought in the Philippines, and had flown over Berlin and Tokyo. Its free fierce spirit flew with Kansans on every battle front, most notably, perhaps, in Europe above the armies of a victorious Kansas soldier.

1,414 Take X-Ray Tests For Tuberculosis Check
X-ray tests for tuberculosis were given at the Watkins Memorial hospital to 1,414 persons, including new students, upper-classmen, faculty.
and employees, houseroofers, and food handlers, Dr. Ralph J. Cancionson, director of the student health service, reported today.
