Saturday afternoon in Ames, Iowa, the Kansas Jayhawks will renew a rivalry that dates from the last years of the Gay Nineties. It was in the fall of 1898 that Kansas and Iowa State, then known as Ames College, met for the first time. That meeting saw the Jayhawks (though they weren't Jayhawks then) emerge as 11-6 victors. In the 23 games which the two schools have played with each other since their first encounter, the Crimson and Blue have won eleven contests while the Cyclones have copped only nine, three resulting in ties, Kansas last beat the Ames, Iowa, in school in 1941, coming out on the long end of a 13-0 score. In 1942 and 1943 the Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks by scores of 20 to 13, and 13 to 6, respectively. Away back in 1929 the Kansans piled up a 33-0 count over the hapless Iowans, while the largest margin by which the latter have defeated the Jays was a 20-0 score in 1925.
1960 Kansas has the harder schedule
Kansas has in piling up easy shutouts over Gustavus Adolphus and Doane College this fall, the Cyclones have looked much more impressive than the Jayhawks. The latter have lost to TCU and Tulsa, while tieing Denver 14-14 and swamping Washburn by a 47-0 count. Early season second guessers pretty generally selected the Cyclones to come out on top of the Big Six pile, but a lot of them are back on their pickings and giving Oklahoma' the favorite's crown of thorns. Iowa State has looked strong on paper and against weak college elevens, but has yet to face a severe test. The Cyclone schedule is comparatively easy, for the hardest battles the Ames men will have to face will be with Big Six schools. Kansas has met Tulsa, one of the strongest college elevents in the country, and TCU, a potent Southwest conference school.
Cyclones unscored on
Mike Michalske. Iowa State football coach, believes his eleven should utilize its speed in breaking up pass plays. The Cyclones must have done when they broke up 17 of 21 attempts through the air by Doane last Saturday to allow only 21 vards gained in the air.
When the Jayhwinks cross the Cyclones' goal line Saturday, they will
Marion, Doerr Are Most Valuable Men In Major Leagues
Martin Marion, Cardinal shortstop, and Bobby Doerr, Red Sox second baseman who was leading American League hitter when he entered the service, were named as the most valuable players in the major leagues for 1944 by THE SPORTING NEWS it was announced today.
Creating a special merit class for pitchers, few of whom ever get a chance to win the most valuable player award because of the small number of games in which they participate, Hal Newhouser of the Tigers and Bill Voiselle of the Giants were honored from their respective league.
Marion is credited as being a dominant factor in the Redbirds winning their third successive National League pennant. Doerr's only close competitor, George Stirnsewu, Yankee star, also went to the service in midseason. It was not until after Doerr left, the Red Sox were counted out of the pennant race. No one could be found to take his place, and his team finally wound up in fourth place, 12 games out of first.
