Jayhawker Eleven Looks Ahead To Oklahoma and Missouri Battles After Meeting Defeat With Aggies
After suffering a startling 18-14 setback at the hands of a game Kansas State eleven Saturday the Kansas Jayhawk football team began looking ahead today to ensuing battles with Oklahoma and Missouri.
In losing, winning, and finally losing a football game all in the last fifteen seconds of play, the Jayhawks are confident that they still have that last minute fight it takes to win football games. The Aggie band had already begun its victory song with but 30 seconds of playing time remaining, when Charlie Moffett, KU. back, who sparked his team all afternoon, returned Dana Atkin's punt 5 yards to the Kansas 20. With time for only one play remaining, the Crimson and Blue went into a spread formation, with Moffett back. Instead of passing, though, the Kansas tailback started through a wide gap in the left side of the line. Behind good intererence he tore through the entire Aggie team, and outrun three Wildecat backs to cross the goal line standing up.
Lance Calls Play Back
But the game was not over. Referee John Lance had detected a clipping on the play, claiming that KU. guard Gene Long had hauled down a wound be tackler from behind. The play then automatically went dead at the point of the foul, and Kansas was assessed the necessary penalty.
Meanwhile, the clock had run out, and Lance, after pausing a few seconds, fired the pistol ending the game. But just as the screaming mob of K-State fans began to swarm the field, Lance suddenly gathered the players into a huddle and advised them that there should have been one more play in the game. After the umpire and headline-man had been recalled from the dressing room, the teams lined up again for the last time. Kansas again used the same spread play, but this time it was a pass from Weatherby to Danneberg which was broken up by the Aggies.
Kansas Tallies First
Moffett's pass to Robison gave Kansas the first tally early in the first quarter after a sustained drive which began on the K-State 45 yard line. Chestnut's kick was good and the Jayhawks went into a 7-0 lead. With the wind to their backs in the second quarter, however, the Aggies began a drive on their own 23 yard line which ended as Webster passed to Weatherby for the touchdown. Webster missed the conversion, and Kansas still led, 7 to 6.
The Jayhawks looked good again in the third quarter on another long drive beginning on the Aggie 44, ending as Moffett carried the ball across for the touchdown. Chestnut made it 14 points for the Crimson and Blue. The Wildcats came back quickly to score another touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but Kansas still led by a 14-12 count.
Atkins Sets Up K.S. Score
Then, with a little over four minutes left in the game, Atkins intercepted a pass from Robison intended for Reynolds and raced 75 yards all the way to the Kansas 6 before Faulkner hauled him down. Ungles passed to Weatherby two plays later to give the Aggies the winning
Meet Considers Foreign Traffic
Chicago—(INS)—The International Civil Aviation conference in Chicago was reported today to have sent to a draft committee questions concerning traffic by foreign air lines within a single country and the right of foreign aircraft to maintain technical stops.
Kappas Lead Teams In Intramural Points
The Kappa Kappa Gammas have garnered 110 points to lead the list of 15 organized teams in intramural points this fall. Marjorie Free has undoubtedly contributed the most points to the Kappa's total score. The A D Pi's are next in line with 76 points and Corbin hall is a close third with 75. The IWW's have 67, Alpha Chi's 37, Pi Phi's 52, Theta's 52, A O Pi's 52, Chi Omegas 51, Delta Gamma's 45, Gamma Phi's 34, IND's 31, Sigma Kappa's 19, Foster hall 10, Watkins hall 6, and Harmon Co-op is in the celler with 2.
The points which have been tabulated so far are results of the tennis singles tournament and the badminton singles tournament. Another summary of points will be posted at the close of the volleyball season and will probably change the standing of the houses.
Anti-Nazi Radio Says Hitler May Have Fled
New York—(INS)—Radio Atlantic, clandestine anti-Nazi radio speculated today on the possibility that Adolf Hitler may have fled Germany. The closing words of Heinrich Himmel's speech in Munich last week the radio said were "certainly suspicious," with the reported statements from Hitler:

Seen At Manhattan Saturday
About all this corner has to offer in connection with last Saturday's freak contest at Manhattan is that Kansas was officially swindled out of a ball game. The general consensus of opinion of the varied assortment of sports writers watching the play was that there was no clipping, the Kansas State player merely tiring and falling in the path of the onrushing Jayhawker. Even Fred Parris, K. State sports publicity director, stated it appeared that way to him . . .
Page the Rule Book
Even more questionable was the extra play that Lance gave to the Jayhawks. Under the circumstances it would appear that Lance was trying to reverse his decision somewhat after realizing that he might have made a mistake. The legality of that play is very questionable. To be sure, time was supposed to stop when the red handkerchief was dropped, and this would have left time for one more play in the game. But the fact remains that Lance, after a few seconds' pause, fired the pistol ending the game, and as far as everyone was concerned, that was that . . .
Charlie Moffett Outstanding
Charlie Moffett, speedy K.U. halfback, undoubtedly played one of the best games of his life on the field Saturday. He was in there on almost every play, making nice gains almost every time he carried the ball. His pass to Leroy Robison was good for the first touchdown, and his off-tackle smash in the third stanza was good for 8 yards and the second K.U. tally. But his spectacular 80 yard run with only 15 seconds left in the game which should have given Kansas the game

was more than sensational. The trick spread formation which was called on that play is strictly a touchdown maneuver, and the Jayhawks had not been counted out . . . Wildears Improving
Kansas State had a number of "T" formation plays which they made look good Saturday. The secret of their success was not the polished ability of the Aggie eleven, but rather the tendency of the Crimson and Blue to go into mental dazes at one time or another. The two flat screen passes which brought both Wildcat touchdowns into the fold saw an Aggie receiver get way behind the Jayhawk defense each time, and make a childish play seem easy. The Staters weren't any too good at tackling, either. They missed many good opportunities which helped to set up the Jayhawk tallies. Give the Aggies a few years though, and they might develop into a ball club capable of a real Big Six performance. The 'Cats are light and inexperienced, but they had plenty of fight Saturday . . .
Digging into the Past
This is off the record, but didn't one John Lance referee a basketball game at Lawrence last winter in which K.U. was participating, and didn't he get booed time and time again for the obvious mistakes he made on the floor? If our memory s correct, K.U. students left Hoch auditorium that evening certain that Mr. Lance was responsible for the Jayhawk's loss. And was this the same John Lance who officiated the Kansas-Kansas State game Saturday? It must be coincidence . . .
Newcomers Club to Meet Thursday
Newcomers Club to Meet Thursday
The Newcomers club will meet with Mrs. Fred Ellsworth Thursday afternoon, Nov. 16, at 1235 West Campus. Mrs. R. T. Fitzhugh will be program chairman and Mrs. Ray Kanehl will be hostess, Mrs. George March has announced.
Standings now show the Oklahoma boys still atop the heap, but two eleveners are still close on their heels. Should the Sooners meet defeat at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawkers at Lawrence next Saturday, the three elevens, Iowa State, Missouri, and Oklahoma, would probably go into a three way tie for the title.
The Big Six football throne swung even more precariously today from one eleven's grasp to another after the Missouri-Oklahoma 21-21 tie Saturday blew up any theories of Sooner shoo-in for the title.
Iowa State began its comeback trail by handing Nebraska a 19-6 defeat at Lincoln. Gene Phels, second string quarterback until game time, engineered the Cyclone victory by scoring all three touchdowns and spearheading the I-State punch throughout the afternoon.
