Tired, Bruised Hawks to Play Weak Huskers
After spending four week-ends on sleepers between stations and trying to play a little football in between, Coach Henry Shenk's Kansas Jayhawkers will return to their home field Saturday for the bi-annual homecoming fray with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Shenk bemoins the fact that his battered and bruised squad will be

Injuries Keep Down Strength
Injuries may keep the team from full strength in the all-important battle. Sam Hunter, starting tackle and one of the anchors of the light Jayhawk line, is still on the sick list and probably will still be there Saturday. Ken Damneberg is reported as batter, but will very likely miss the fracas. Eight or ten other V-12's and civilians are hob-

Huskers Show No Offense...
with a lot of drilling in fundamentals. Some kind of an offense is being readied for the Nebraskans, with Barrington and Moffett still throwing the football.
No comparison of the two Big Six elevens is possible, for the Huskers have yet to show an offense in their games this fall. The Nebraskans have tangled with Minnesota and Indiana, two strong Big Ten eleven, and came out on the short end of two very lop-sided scores. The Cornhuskers are avowed to be an improvement over last year's eleven which edged by the 'Hawks at Lincoln last fall, 7 to 6, Ray Kaneh, K.U. track coach, scouted the Nebraska-Indiana massacre last Saturday at Bloomington, but he said that the Huskers were on the defense so much that he didn't get a real look at any offence.

Twenty-eight years without a victory over Nebraska. The glaring truth of this statement has become quite evident to KU. football fans as Saturday's game nears. Some are even beginning to wonder if the 'Hawk eleven is capable of doing it this year. Earlier in the season K.U. gridiron followers were saying to one another that this was the year to beat Nebraska, and that it looked as if we'd be able to run up a good score on them.
But during the last couple of weeks fans have begun to wonder. In their last two contests the Jay-hawks have had 52 points scored against them without even producing a solitary touchdown. Though this was against two of the best teams in the mid-west, it still doesn't sound too red hot. Football fans are beginning to point to last year and the debacle at Lincoln. The Kansans went up odds-on favorites to win, and came back on the short end of a 7-6 count.
Looking for a Victory
Just the same, we feel certain that a Jayhawk victory Saturday is practically certain, if only because of one reason. The squad has been literally living for this game since the first padded candidates stepped on the field last August. Spirits are high among the players, even in the face of the last two shutouts, and morale is going to go a long way Saturday. The will to win is more stronger than it has even been so far this season.
Beat Nebraska
If a fan would but study closely the scores of football clashes between "name" teams so far this fall he probably would begin to wonder if college football is currently turning into a track meet. A glance over football scores of last week-end would certainly strengthen such a
Corbin and Theta Are Winners in Volleyball Two Teams Forfeit
Corbin hall and Kappa Alpha Theta were the winners last night in the volleyball games against Alpha Omicron Pi and Alpha Chi Omega. Of the other two games scheduled for last night, Miller hall forfeited to Gamma Phi Beta and Harmon forfeited to E.T.C.
Both games played were won by large margins. The Thetas defeated the Alpha Chis 50 to 18 and Corbin hall won 70 to 17. The outstanding players of the evening were O'Leary, Winter, and Fadler for Theta; Harris for Alpha Chi; Sloan for Alpha O; and Turkington for Corbin.
The intramural badminton games are in the quarter finals. Those women who are playing in this group are Boardman-Lenski, Jacob-Sloan, Sweeney-Land, and Lipple-man against the winner of Harris and Morris.
Tonight IND will meet Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Kappa will play IWW.
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of education, announced that it is necessary that the intramural managers pay their dues before their next games.
Student Advisory System Is Explained to Faculty
Standing committees of the College was included in the communication. The committees are administrative committee, curriculum committee, committee on instruction of superior students, committee on proficiency examinations in English, and reinstatement committee.
A communication has been mailed to all College faculty members explaining the new advisory system of College students.

It is really enough to cause the reader to wonder if college football is reaching the stage where it ceases to become a game and takes on the appearance of a farce. Perhaps, shouts the radical sports fan, the "T" formation and its allied offenses are so coming into use that small difference between teams are amplified by users of the above styles, or that there can be no comparison. And perhaps the same fan will suggest that the "T" has taken from football the brilliant defensive play and turned the game into a fancy running affair that is spectacular only to the winners. These, we believe, may be partial reasons for such lopsided games, but there is more to the story.
The Reason Is More Complex
The shifting of players from one school to another through navy programs probably has more to do with it than anything else. Also a factor is the tremendous pool of players to be had at almost any Naval training station or air base. The war has given certain schools an overflowing supply of trained football players, while leaving others out in the cold. Other schools have had their top coaches drafted into the armed forces or seen them volunteer, and at the present time a coach of any class is at pretty much of a premium.
We will agree, though, with those who wish for a return to the "good old days" when close battles were the rule rather than the exception, but we feel that only the end of the war will see them come.

In Europe, the American first army mopped up segments of the Siegfried line northeast of Aachen, but in the city itself surrounded Nazi troops continued to hold out.
Another futile attempt to break through by the Aachen defenders was repulsed by Yank troops. Tommies On Toward Reich
British and Canadian troops continued their offensive in the Netherlands smashing toward the town of Benray only 8 miles from the Reich frontier.
In Italy American fifth army troops smashed stubborn opposition to reach the town of Monte Belmonte on the road to Bologna. Eighth army forces operating in the Adriatic sector of the Italian front advanced to the Pisciatello river and stood within two miles of the industrial city of Cesena.
Heavy pressure also was brought against the Nazis on the eastern front where Soviet armies pressed their autumn offense at their key points of Latvia down to Belgrade.
