Kansas Power Overwhelms Olathe In Sensational 33-14 Victory; Wildcats Are Rugged Saturday Foe
After proving to their coach they are still capable of winning ball games through their 33-14 trouncing of the Olathe Clippers last Saturday at Memorial stadium, the revamped Kansas Jayhawks will begin a series of grueling workouts this afternoon leading up to the Big Six affair with the Kansas State Wildcats next Saturday at Manhattan.
Even Coach Henry Shenk himself was amazed as the Kansas eleven scored twice in the second quarter
and once each in the first, third and fourth. The Crimson and Blue swept up and down the field to amass a total of 452 yards from scrimmage and to collect 24 first downs. Kansas was forced to kick only twice during the game, averaging 35 yards per punt.
Charles Moffett First Score Comes Early
The first K.U. tallly came soon after the opening gun. The Clippers kicked off to open the game, and Charlie Moffett returned the ball to his own 12-yard line. Then the speedy Kansas halfback and Leroy Robison, playing the contest at fullback, lugged the pigskin to the Olathe 12 where halfback Dwight Sutherland heaved one of the pickets for the point. Chestnut's dropkick was wide.
A Kansas drive late in the first stanza played out on the Oatmeal 1
yard line, and the Clippers punted out. Moffett returned the ball 20 yards to the Clipper 17 as the first quarter ended, and Robison crossed the goal line standing up on a fourth down line buck seconds after the second quarter had begun. This time
was good.
Leroy Robison
Sutherland in 54-Yard Run
Robison poured into pay dirt for the third K.U. tally late in the same quarter to climax a drive that began on the Clipper 44-yard line after the Kansas fullback had intercepted an Olathe pass. Again Chestnut converted.
The third stanza saw Dwight Sutherland go through a hole in the Clipper line behind perfect blocking to scamper 54 yards for the fourth Kansas touchdown. The final score, then, came on a 15-yard pass from Bib Miller to Moffett midway in the last period to ice the game for the fighting Jayhawks.
Clipper tallies came just before the ends of the half and the game, climaxing long drives engineered by backs Herkal, Fuste, Langner, and Lithwin, the last score came on a pass from Fuse to Langner who scampered the remaining 65 yards. The game ended with Kansas returning the Olathe kickoff 20 yards. The lineup:

Intramurals to Resume
Intramural touch football play will resume tomorrow afternoon on the south athletic fields, weather permitting, assistant director Ray Kanebl announced this morning. Schedules are in the hands of all intramural managers, and play should be finished by this weekend. Playoffs will begin next week. Kanebl asked all team managers to turn scores as soon as possible after the contests to avoid delay and error in posting results.
Practice Enters Second Stages In Basketball
Jayhawk basketball practice is swinging into its secondary stages now that the winter semester has begun, head coach F. C. Allen announced today.
About 25 men are out for practice at present, with other possible candidates now working out with the football squad due to report after November 23. Back in the fold are four lettermen from last year's squad, with many more experienced men from other schools. Dean Corder, Louis Goehring, and Don Diehl are the holdovers, with regular forward Charlie Moffett due to report after the football season
Other men out include Jim Briley, Owen Peck, Everett Hill, Odd Williams, Sam Harris, Herb Heim, Gus Daum, Jim Baska, and Gerald Werner. Peck played for Kansas City, Kansas Junior college; Hill was a Lawrence high regular last winter; Williams saw service at Culver; and Heim played on the Immaculate of Leavenworth five.
Allen bemoans the loss through transfer of Bob Dick, regular for Ottawa U. and a fine rebounder, and Dutch Schimenz, football end who was a basketball team in himself. Practices are being held every day at 4:30. Some civilians report before that time.
Allen promised that he will work harder than he has ever worked before to produce a team of which Jayhawks everywhere will be proud. He promised a fast, flashy five full of surprises.
KU ASTP'S—
Another Jayhawk meeting is scheduled for Wednesday night. Pfe. Mahon said. The meeting will be the anniversary of the arrival at K.U. of the "second-termers" a year ago.

Kansas football mentor Henry Shenk was especially well pleased with his team's showing on the field Saturday against the Olathe Clippers. He commended the performance of Leroy Robison, Lawrence lad familiar to Jayhawkers as the KU. blocking back, in his first role of fullback, "Robby" packs dynamite in his 170 pounds, and starts very fast for a fullback. He cracked the Clipper line wide open time and time again Saturday, picking up some nice long gains. Robison is able to out run the secondary when he gets past the line, which accounted for his 30-yard-plus gains he got during the afternoon. Leroy had the support of a fine line, too, which opened up some gaping holes in the Olathe line.
Sportorials
Gene Long, 220-pound Indian playing his third year on the K.U. eleven, was a main gun in the Jayhawk line, ripping the Clipper linemen into shreds most of the afternoon. Charlie Moffett continued his ground gaining through the tackles, picking up no little yardage in the course of the time he was in the battle. He also caught two touchdown passes, one from Bob Miller and the other from Dwight Sutherland. The Best Is Yet To Come
Shenk is certainly not selling Kansas State short, even though the Aggies have won but one game this fall. He feels they are on the up grade, and will be primed to the hill for next Saturday's game. The K.U. football coach is already singing the blues in view of the Oklahoma contest here the week after next. Sooner power was evident last Saturday in their 14-7 conquest of the Cyclones from Ames, virtually assuring them of the Big Six football throne. In fact, Shenk believes that the three toughest games of the season are yet ahead of the Jayhawks. He sees a little improvement in the K.U. offense, but thinks the defense has slipped a little.
The Superbomber Story
Ever notice how you don't hear much about the Second Air Force Superbomber football eleven any more these days. The Superbombers were clipped by the Norman Navy Zoomers a week ago Saturday for their second defeat of the season, and the Associated Press football rankings failed to list them. The team could very easily be called the

prize dud of the 1944 season. Before the firing started this September, the Bombers were being built up as the dream team of all time, and no one was even supposed to come close to them all season.
Well, no one did for a while. The air force lads really turned on the coals for the first few weeks, trouncing severely every first class team in the Rocky Mountain area, and it looked as though they were really grade A stuff. Then, lo and behold, they met defeat in the form of a 12-6 debacle at the hands of the Iowa Seahawks, who aren't nearly as good as they were last year.
Reasons for Defeat
This must have taken something out of the Bombers, for they haven't shown the stuff lately. Their recent defeat at the hands of the Norman Navy Zoomers merely added insult to injury, though the Zoomers are far and away the best ball club in this territory.

MILITARY—
This column has no way of knowing why the Bombers couldn't keep up the work over the weeks, but one thing stands out. The Second air force club is made up of players from all over the Rocky Mountain area, and it must be some job to get the boys together, especially for practice. Fans here-abouts were swindled out of seeing the Bombers in action when the latter called off their scheduled game with Washburn College of Topeka not long ago.

Bernard (Poco) Frazier Sees Wallace Kunkel in New York
Bernard (Poco) Frazier, former University instructor in design, has been in New York a week arranging to show New York works of sculpturing in Tulsa, Okla., where he is now teaching. His presence there was noted by Wallace Kunkel, journalism graduate who met Mr. Frazier in Greenwich village and later at the Associated Press building. Mr. Frazier told Kunkel he intended to visit the University in a few days.
