Jayhawks Invade Cyclone Land Saturday In Big Six Opener
Head football coach Henry Shenk named 33 Jayhawkers to make the jaunt to Ames, Iowa, tomorrow for the Kansas Big Six opener with the Iowa State Cyclones. The squad of civilians will leave via the Union Pacific train at 2:40 p.m. Friday and will stay all night in Des Moines, Iowa. The team will be back in Lawrence by 11 a.m. Sunday.
The men who have been selected
have been selected to go are Charles Daigneault, Warren Riegle, Gordon Reynolds, Keith Bradley, George Newton, Dorwin Lamkin, Wallace Rouse, Ralph Wygle, Gene Long, Tom Bailey, Charles Keller, Donald Stockdale, Dud Day, Dick Dreher, Garland Cantrell,
John Schimenz Ivory Bird, Robert Pendleton, Wayne Hird, Dana Chase, Cecil Langford, Don Faulkner, Dwight Sutherland, Robert Miller, Leroy Robison, O. J. Endecor, Ben Welch, Don Barrington, Ted Short, Jim Weatherby, Milford Collins, Charles Moffett, Kenneth Danneberg, and Bill Chestnut.
Schimenz Hunter Absent
Conspicuous by their absence are Dutch Schimenz, starting end, and Sam Hunter, outstanding first string tackle, who are forced to stay behind on account of injuries. Daigneault will probably start in place of Schimenz at the end post, while
Hunter's alter- mate is Dorwin Lamkin. Wayne Hird, letterman center, who visit- ed Leavenworth last weekend, will make the trip, but his knee is still bothering him and may not permit him to start. Dan Chase or Cecil Langford will be around just in case.
Sam Hunter
Shenk stated that the last practice session before the trip will be tonight, with special attention being paid to a defensive formation against simulated Iowa State plays. The Cyclones are known to be users of both the "T" and the single wing. Iowa Coach Drills Team
William Joseph Latham, S/2/C, who became ill on a westbound train yesterday morning and was taken off at Lawrence, has been released from Watkins Memorial hospital, Lt. Comm. M. E. Gross, V-12 medical officer, stated today.
Iowa State coach "Mike" Michalske spent some time yesterday drilling his starters against supposed Kansas plays as run by the frush squad. Those practiced included both single wing and double wing formations. Fullback Meredith Warner was kept practicing on conversions after missing four out of nine in the Doane game last Saturday. Dana Omer, sensational freshman back, saw plenty of work on the Iowa reserve guard last night, indicating that Michalske might be intending to use him against the Jay hawkers.

Latham was enroute from his home in Akron, Ohio, to Norman, Oka, where he is stationed. He was suffering from acute bowel infection. At liberty today, Latham will leave for Norman tomorrow.

Basketball Squad Drills Fundamentals In Early Practices
Basketball practice has picked up some momentum in the last week and a half. Almost all of the 39 candidates reporting on October 2 are still out, with the number varying between 35 and 40, Dr. F. C. Allen announced today.
Sessions have been shortened somewhat on account of the various events that have been held during the practice times, which are at 4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but some improvement has been noted among the candidates. Only an hour has been available each night so far, but more time will be utilized after the winter semester starts. Last night the squad worked on such fundamentals as pivots and passes. Another one of the several short scrimmages was held.
"Big men are conspicuous by their absence," Dr. Allen commedated, but the crop seen so far is very fast and shifty. Allen indicated that some weight men may be added after the football schedule has been completed.
Game Winners Urged To Turn in Scores
Although seven or eight intramural touch football games have been played in the last two weeks, only two scorecards have been turned in to the intramurals office, assistant director Ray Kanehl announced today. He reminded teams playing games that the winning group is responsible for returning the score sheet. Until this has been done, no scores can be posted on the standings sheet which is located opposite the intramurals office, he explained.
Four games have been scheduled for tonight, and Kanehl urged that the summaries of them be deposited at the office this evening if possible.
Rally to Cheer Team Into Iowa Victory
Of 40 women who participated in the second Quack Club tryouts last night, five were selected to become pledges, Martha Woodward, president of the organization, announced today. These girls are Patsy Nees, Jean Hamilton, Mary Longnecker, Phyllis Ann Ellis, and Audrey Harris.
This week's pep rally will be at 2:15 p.m. Friday at the Union Pacific station, Jim Conard, head cheerleader, announced today.
There will be a conflict with some classes Conard said, but every student not having a class at this hour should be present to see the team off for their first Big Six battle with Iowa State.
Quack Club Picks Five Swimmers at Second Tryouts
The train will leave at 2.30 p.m.
Iowa Has Third Scrap Drive Iowa State College entered its third scrap paper drive this week. Goal for the drive is 15 tons.
The club still does not have its quota of pledges for the year. The members decided to have another tryout in November when the regular semester starts. This is to give the new women who are not yet at the University a chance to become pledges.
Sportorials
By Earl Barney
In tabulating the pre-game football winners picked by this column during the last two weeks, we have listed the following results: games picked correctly—16, games missed—3, games tied—3. This gives us a percentage (not including ties) of 842 so far this season. In looking over Saturday's duels, the following contests appear as most interesting to local fans.
Again we have crawled out on the prediction limb and attempted to shoo a few winners home. Drake at Washburn—those Ichabds just don't have eleven football players to field at one time; Colorado College at Denver—a close one, but we like the Buffaloes; Norman NAS at Arkansas—the Zoomers aren't going to find the way easy, but they have the better leeen; Colorado U. at Utah U—the Coloradoans are too experienced; Colgate vs. Cornell—give us the Big Red Team; Notre Dame to smother Dartmouth; Navy to sink Duke; Illinois in a Western Conference battle over Iowa U.; Army way over Pittsburg; the Iowa Seahawks to meet not too much trouble at Purdue; Randolph Field to fly right away from SMU.
Texas-Sooner Classic Will Be On Saturday
Neither has been beaten in collegiate play. Each lost to a powerful service foe, the Sooners to the Norman Navy Zoomers and the Steers to the Randolph Field Flippers. Texas beat Southwestern, which defeated it last year, 20-0 in its opener. Oklahoma won an offensive thriller Saturday from Coach Homer Norton's Texas Aggies, 21-14.
Norman, Okla., Oct. 12—The Southwest football classic that frequently outdraws the New Year's Cotton Bowl match, the 1944 renewal of the 45-year old Texas-Oklahoma rivalry, will start at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Dallas Cotton Bowl before a surprisingly large wartime crowd of nearly 30,000.
The Sooners, as they have all season, will move along their Lebow road." The Sooner triple threat is Derald Lebow, 170-pound tailback who gained 102 yards, scored three touchdowns, and hit four of six passes against the Texas Aggies. Luster's single wing attack, which also features a pinch of T and A, is designed to hit fast anywhere along the scrimmage front with Wingback Charley Heard, who tore off one gallop of 62 yards against Texas A. and M., shooting back to the weakside and Fullback Louis Dollharide sweeping the wings or running off tackle.
Coach Dana X. Bible's Steers from Austin, defending Southwest conference kings and undefeated in Cotton Bowl play the last two seasons, and Coach Deway "Snorter" Luster's Sooners from Norman, defending Big Six loop champs, are rated 50-50 for the clash.
The crowd is measuring up as the
And now for the Big Six teams: Nebraska to suffer badly at the hands of Indiana; Kansas State a nice loss to Michigan State; Minnesota to trounce a game Mizzou eleven (can't these Big Six teams ever hope to win one?); we hate to say it, but Texas will come out over Oklahoma by a hair; and last but not least, we duck the flying towels and Jayhawk buttons and select Kansas to edge by Iowa State (call it patriotism if you will).

A tabulation of the top football teams in the nation as released by Associated Press has reached our desk. Imagine our surprise to find that Oklahoma, Big Six Powerhouse, and most probable eleven to win the title this fall, was not even listed, while Iowa State and Missouri both received votes. Evidently the AP sports writers haven't seen the rugged Sooners in action yet. —And another thing. The 2nd air force Superbombers and the Iowa Seahawks, two of the most powerful of all service teams, weren't even listed among the first ten. By the way, have any of you writers ever heard of Tulsa?

WLB Faces Crisis Over New Decision
Washington—INS—Strong political repurchases were anticipated today following a war labor board decision to sidestep modification of the Little Steel Wage formula, and it is thought by some observers of a possible impairment of the WLB is in prospect.
The decision, announced yesterday with labor members dissenting referred the matter to the president by Stabilization Director James E. Byrnes without recommendation.
The changed situation, attributed to isolation of Spain from her former German market by successful invasion of France, creates an acute economic condition which threatens the security of the Franco regime in Spain.

Referral of the wage question will defer action until after the November election.

Battenfeld hall purchased the services of Prof. Hilden Gibson, department of political science, for $12. Just what those services will be has not yet been determined, Battenfeld residents remarked today.
The auction had a surprise ending. With a "turn-about's-fair-play" philosophy, Hilden Gibson took over the auctioneering, and placed the services of Allen Crafton as singing waiter on the block. Corbin hall, solving the help shortage, immediately bought them for $26, and were entertained last night by Professor Crafton.
Mrs. Edith Malott, wife of the Chancellor, contributed $5 for a horseback ride with Miss Florence Black, department of mathematics.
