Crippled Squad Betters Offense For Cyclone Duel
Jayhawk football coach Henry Shenk sent his crippled squad through a number of offensive and defensive formations yesterday in preparation for next Saturday's Big Six opener with Iowa State at Ames.
The Kansas mentor believed that Charlie Moffett, star half back who was injured in practice just before the Tulsa game, would be ready to take the field against the Cyclones, while he was doubtful of the condition of Wayne Hird and Dutch Schimzen, both of whom are sporting bad knees. Schimzen has been bothered with his leg since before the Washburn game, while Hird received the injury at Denver. The latter was rejected by the army Saturday while at Leavenworth, so will probably be around for the rest of the current grid season.
Offense Is Emphasized
A total of 7 yards gained from scrimmage in the Tulsa game led Shenk to emphasize an offense in this week's practice sessions. The coaches are trying to develop a passer and, consequently, a pass defense, two things that have been lacking in games so far this year. A few new plays have been introduced to the squad for use in the Iowa State game, also.
"Cyclones Good" Says Kanehl
Shenk was enthusiastic over the play of end Warren Riegle, and guards Charles Keller and Chief Long in the Tula game Saturday night. Riegle's alertness in falling on a Hurricane fumble on the Tula 7 yard line gave the Jayhawks their only real scoring threat of the game. Robinsons' punting was also outstanding.
Ray Kanehl scouted the Iowa State-Doane contest Saturday, and has reported that the Cyclones are just as good as their game winning margins indicate. The Iowa Big Six entry operated Saturday from both a "T" and a single wing formation, giving Shenk the opportunity for a little worry.

Selective service orders went out to the nation's draft boards today virtually removing the threat of induction from three large groups of registrants—the 38 to 45 year olds, those classified for limited service and discharged service men.
Although the armed forces have not been calling men in these categories for some time, their fate has been uncertain until issuance of a new ruling.
Concerted Action Against Reich?
London, (INS)—Diplomatic quarters in London believed today that the main object of discussion between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Joseph Stalin was aimed at bringing about concerted offensive action against Germany from the East and West.

Sportorials
Before you criticize, first consider the facts. KU's trouncing at Tulsa Saturday night was not nearly so bad as the score and statistics might indicate. First of all, the Jayhawks were playing without three first string stars, Charlie Moffett, Wayne Hird, and John Bergin, whose appearance might have made a 14-point difference in the score. Then too, as some of you may already know, the Tulsa eleven is strictly a bought and paid for team, playing for the express purpose of winning games. Such names as Shedlosky and Wade have been gracing football headlines for some years now. The former was on the Fordham team that met Missouri in the 1942 Sugar Bowl game, while Wade was a Missouri All-America candidate of two years ago. The semi-professional Hurricane line outweighed the Jayhawks some twenty pounds plus to the man, which no doubt was the reason the Jayhawks could gain only seven yards from scrimmage the whole game.
Your columnist was also "impressed" by the number of penalties which the Tulsa eleven drew during the game. At 115 yards, for every offense listed in the rule book, we lost count. If the announcer was to be trusted, it certainly must have been a rugged game.
Our average in games picked slipped a bit this week, but the weekend was crowded with sensational upsets. Out of twelve contests forecast, we netted nine right and three misses. The second air force - Seahawk upset came as a surprise to nearly everybody, while Michigan's victory over Minnesota was a mild one.

An interesting sidelight to the 1944 American League pennant chase—The Denver Post for Sunday, Oct. 8, printed almost a week and a half ago for release last Sunday, ran a story date-lined Oct. 7 on the marvelous efforts of the Detroit Tigers in winning the American League pennant. The sports editor of the Colorado journal evidently considered the Tigers a shoo-in when he wrote the article, never dreaming the Brownns would come back and win it. Chalk one up in the error column!
UNION CLUBS BALLOT

Ghost of Great Lakes—The Tulsa announcer kept giving Walt Isaacson, former K.U. back, now at Great Lakes, credit for taking part in many of the Kansas offensive and defensive plays Saturday night. Wonder what Walt thought of himself in action, if he was so fortunate as to be able to listen to the contest?—P.S. It seems there was a slight mixup in jerseys among the Jayhawk squad Saturday.
NAZI REFUSE----
The fall of Corinth, ancient Greek city, brought to a climax the Allied campaign to liberate the Peloponnesus area and an immediate drive toward Athens. 50 airline miles distant, was considered imminent.

BIG SIX SLANTS
By
BOB HAMILTON
The Kansas Jayhawks held the Tula's Golden Hurricane eleven to four touchdowns last Saturday evening in Tulsa. The final score, 27-0, did not look too bad for the Kansans, playing against a highly favored team.
The Kansan "E" team held the Missouri Valley Vikings to a 12-12 tie. This was their first game and they made a good showing.
We admit we made a very poor choice in choosing Kansas State to win over Missouri University in their Big Six conferences opener Saturday. Missouri had a very easy game, judging from the score, 33-0. Bill Dellastatious, back, and Paul Collins, his partner in the Tiger backfield, sparked the victory, each crossing into pay dirt twice. Robert Hopkins, substitute in the backfield, scored the fifth touchdown. Dellastatious stopped K-State's only real threat, a 64-yard run by Ronnie Webster, on the Missouri 17.

Iowa had its easy victory over Doane College, 59-0. It was a game between a smashing, driving Cyclone team and a little team that had a lot of heart, but not enough punch when yards meant touchdowns. The Cyclones tallied once in the first quarter, and four times in the second. A reserve quarterback, Bene Phelps, accounted for two of the three touchdowns in the third quarter, and one more was added in the last quarter. The Iowa team, strong contender for the Big Six championship this year, allowed Doane to complete but three of 21 attempts to pass, and intercepted one in the third for a 45-touchdown run.

The University of Oklahoma eleven defeated the Texas Aggies in a very hard fought battle, three touchdowns to two for the boys from the Lone Star state. Both teams made good on every try for conversion point, the final score ending 21-14. This is the first victory of a Big Six team over a Southwestern team this year, after two previous defeats, one by Kansas at the hands of T.C. U. and a beating Missouri took from Arkansas.
Iowa State breezed to their second victory of the cross-country season Saturday, when they defeated the
Cardinals Win World Series Taking 4 of 6
The St. Louis Cardinals are the World Series baseball champions for 1944.
Behind the brilliant pitching of Lanier, the National League champions turned loose the power that they had possessed all season to turn in a 3 to 1 victory yesterday over their fellow townsm, the Brown. It was their second series victory in three years.
It wasn't a walk-away. Not until the last Brownie was out in the ninth inning was the championship won. The Cards had visions of a circumstance earlier in the series when the Browns cut loose after two men were out to win the game on five straight singles.
The Browns took an early lead with one run in the second, but from then on they were at the mercy of Lanier and Wilks. On the other hand, Potter was knocked from the mound in the fourth inning by the Cards who scored their three runs which were sufficient to win. Moncrief, relief pitcher, had them well in hand the rest of the game.
There was no surprise that the Cardinals were the series winners. Their easy winning of the pennant made them the favorites. But the spirit of the Browns made the series as exicing as a cities series could be, and the interests of the fans—at least those not listed as died-in-wool National League sympathizers—was with the Browns as the underdog.
The Browns won the first and third games and the Cardinals, the second, fourth, fifth and sixth. The crowd of 31,630 yesterday was the smallest of the series.
Peru State Teachers track team, 18-37. Henry Schwenk, a Navy V-12 trainee came in first.
