KU Drills For Battle; Last Fray For Nine
Still praying that his battered squad would be in shape for Saturday's big homecoming game with Nebraska, coach Henry Shenk ended a series of heavy scrimmages last night and announced that practices tonight and tomorrow night would be devoted to
Barring further injuries, the eleven to take the field Saturday will be about the same as the start-

ing lineup against Iowa State last week with the exception of a few injured men. The backfield will probably be Charlie Moffett and either Don Faulkner or Dwight Sutherland at halfs, Leroy Robinson at quarter, and Dan Barrington at full. On the line will be Warren Riegle and either Charles Dalgaunt or Gorden Reynolds at ends, Gene Long and Ralph Wygle at tackles, Charles Keller and Dud Day at guards, and Wayne Hird at center.
Injury Keeps Out Hunter
Injuries will probably keep Sam Hunter, regular tackle, from starting at his post, but the freshman from Leavenworth will probably get to see
some action during the game.
Husker Coach Adolph Lewandowski is planning on starting virtually the same eleven that met Indiana last week. He said that the same seven lineemen that matched

blows with the Hoosier line would take the field, but hinted that he may make greater use of Ken Hollins, first string back whose play thus far has been hampered by a bad elbow.
Indiana Runs K.U. Plays
The Indiana eleven ran their plays from the same formation which the Jayhaws use, so Lewandowski's Huskers were able to garner only one first down against the Bomen last Saturday, and will be out to even up the count against the Crimson and Blue eleven.
Shenk is looking for a better team to face his Jayhawks Saturday than the previous Nebraska scores indicated. Although shut out by lopsided scores twice this season, the Cornhuskers have met in Minnesota and Indiana two of the top teams in the Big Ten, always a rugged conference. Indiana has walked on every foe so far this season.
No O'Kane Successor Has Been Named Yet
No new executive secretary of the YMCA has been named to replace Harry O'Kane, who resigned Oct. 9, it was announced today. O'Kane will leave Nov. 1 to take a position with hte YMCA in Houston, Texas. While at the University, Mr. O'Kane was director of the YMCA employment bureau. This bureau will be managed temporarily by Henry Werner, adviser of men.
Professor Sees Stars
N. W. Storer, professor of astronomy, saw stars a few days ago, but it was not through a telescope.
While trying to drive a nail with a hammer he hit the nail of his left index finger instead. As a result the bone of the first joint was broken and the finger is in a splint.
K. State Enrollment Same
Enrollment at Kansas State College at Manhattan is about the same this yeas as last, the Kansas State Collegian reports.
Nine members of the Kansas football squad will be playing their last game Saturday for K. U. it was learned today through the V-12 office. This group includes both seniors on the campus and men who will be transferred to other colleges for further training.
The list includes Don Barrington, fullback; Ted Short, fullback; John Schimenz, end; Charles Daigneault, end; Warren Riegle, end; O. J. Endecott, quarterback; Bob Pendleton, halfback; Louis Casteix, back; and Ben Welch, back.
Barrington and Riegle were members of the Crimson and Blue eleven last fall, seeing two years of service for Coach Henry Shenk. While the other men are first year squad members, most of them have been playing regularly and their loss will leave large gaps in the K.U. line and backfield.
Barrington, having completed his college work, will be sent to midshipman's school, while the remaining eight are being transferred to other V-12 units in the United States.
Sooners Open Big Six Season With Wildcats
Norman, Okla., Oct. 19—After finishing a three-game strengthening ordeal that was tough as a marine boot camp, Oklahoma's Sooners open defense of their 1943 Big Six conference championship when they engage the Kansas State Wildcats in the 30th annual game Saturday.
Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster's lightish Sooners lated 14-28 to the Norman Navy Zoomers, beat Texas A. and M. 21-14, and lost to Texas 0-20 before 25,501 at Dallas last Saturday, out-running Coach Dana Bible's Steens 117 to 74 net yards but permitting themselves to be bombed off the field by three Texas throwers who, protected by the 211-pound Texas line, could have rolled themselves a cigarette before releasing each forward pass.

Sportorials
Eyeing this week's list of college football battles over the nation, we come across the following interesting clashes at which we'll do a little prognosticating. These include Big Six clashes and other games between nationally known teams. Tennessee over Albama; Texas in a close one over Arkansas; Colorado College over Colorado U.; Navy to continue its usual winning habits with a victory over Georgia Tech; Illinois in a romp at Pittsburgh; Purdue hands down over Iowa U.; Tulsa to keep up the victory string it has to date with a nice trouncing of Mississippi; Notre Dame to meet a little trouble, but not very much, at the hands of Wisconsin; Great Lakes at Ohio State—this may well prove to be the game of the year, and for some strange reason we choose to ride with the Bluejackets; Indiana over Northwestern; Oklahoma A. & M. over Denver; Texas A. & M. over T.C.U.; Norman NAS well over Amarillo AAF; and the 2nd Air Force to administer another of its trouncing this time to No. Texas Ag. Kansas Over Nebraska
By Earl Barney
Big Six battles: Missouri over Iowa State in a real ball game; Oklahoma over Kansas State—an easy one for the Sooners; and Kansas to end a 28-year drouth and come out on top of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, jinx or no jinx.
big, green aggregation that was tied 6-6 by Wichita in its opener, then lost to Missouri 0-33, to Ohio State 0-54 and to Michigan State 6-45, will be shooting for their first conference victory. The Kansas Staters haven't beaten the Sooners in the past ten years nor scored on them in the last five, statistics show.
The rivalry between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 53 years old Saturday, is one of the oldest existing annual football battles in the United States. Of the 50 games that have been played between the two schools, the 'Hawks have netted only nine while dropping 38. The remaining three duels ended in ties. The strange part of the historic meeting between the two schools is that no matter how good a Jayhawk eleven may be, they have nearly always been clipped by the fast moving Cornhuskers. In fact, during the 1930 season the only year in history in which the Crimson and Blue have ever pushed to the top of the Big Six heap, they nevertheless met defeat at the hands of the Scarlet and Cream, 16 to 0. One of the main reasons why the Nebraskans are the all-time champions of the Big Six (since its inception in 1929) is the fact that the 'Huskers always win one victory a year from the hapless Jayhwaks.

Kickoff will be at 2:30 p.m. with station KDMA carrying the game.
TO DEVELOP AND USE ways and means for saving time and effort is a typical American trait. You see it among your classmates and you exhibit the same shrewdness when you send your packages, laundry and baggage, home and return, by Railway Express. The pick-up and delivery at your door, and the quick forwarding by fast trains, or by superspeed Air Express planes, is a shipping service unique in American life. It has saved time and effort for generations of college students.
SAVING AMERICA TIME AND EFFORT
These nation-wide facilities are now being utilized to their utmost by the government, industry and the public. You can help Railway Express to carry its share of this war-time load by doing three simple things: Wrap your packages securely—address them clearly—express them early." A shipment started right is half-way there."

—Beat Nebraska—
Since the beginning of Big Six play, the Kansans have never beaten the Cornhuskers and have only tied them once, 13-13, in 1927. What we want this year is a convincing defeat of the proud Cornhuskers, one that will say to them that a Kansas squad is not just another victory in the bag.
Saturday Is the Day
This is our best opportunity in some years to turn the trick. The Huskers are at their lowest ebb in some years, and Kansas has turned in some nice performances, though defeated, in the last month. At least seven men will be playing their last contest for the school on Mt. Oread, and they will certainly want to give the school something to remember them by. Don Barrington and Warren Riegle, two V-12's that won't be around after the first of next month, were part of the Kansas squad that took a humiliating 7-8 defeat last autumn from an underdog Husker eleven, and the boys don't want to see the same thing pulled day after tomorrow.
