Tulsa-KU Clash Tomorrow Night
Set with the hope that they will give the Tulsa Golden Hurricane a stiffer battle than sport scribes are crediting of being capable of doing, the Kansas Jayhawks will leave tonight at 6:50 for their fourth game of the season at Tulsa tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.
Coach Henry Shenk announced today that Wayne Hird will not make the trip as previously announced. Either Dan Chase or Cecil
ROBISON
Langford will fill in for him at center, Shenk stated. Donald Faulkner will be starting in the wingback slot in place of John Bergin, and O. J. Endecott or Leroy Robison will start at the blocking back position.
Shenk ran the squad through a
number of pass offense and defense plays last night in attempt to find some way of stopping the Hurricane tomorrow. He stated today that while the Jayhawks held the Denver team down to a minimum of yards gained on the ground, it was the Pioneer passing game that nearly spelled defeat for the lads from Lawrence. Shenk praised the work of Cecil Langford, 18-year-old V-12 from Kilgore, Texas, in pass defenses during practice sessions. The tall center can really move around over the short pass zone, and his height serves him to great advantage. Whether he or Dan Chase will start at guard tomorrow night will probably depend on whether the Tulsa team decides to take to the air.
Before leaving tonight, a short workout will be held on the practice fields, with the emphasis again on passes. The Crimson and Blue will leave Tulsa immediately after the game at 11:50 Saturday night from where they will return to Lawrence sunday morning. A rally was held this afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Union Lounge to fire the squad up.
Tulaa coach Henry Fmka was still somewhat undecided today as to which men he should use tomorrow, because his second team looked even better than his first team. Camp Wilson, 200 lb. fullback, was tearing both lines and backfields to shreds in a grueling workout in the afternoon. Fruka will operate tomorrow from a single wing formation with a balanced line.
Probable starting lineups:
Kansas Pos. Tulsa Reynolds R.E. Goodnight Hunter R.T. Stanley Long R.G. Buda Chase C. Prewitt Keller L.G. E. Jones Wygle L.T. Burgeis Riegle L.E. White Endecott Q. Mitchell Moffett R.H. Shedlosky Faulkner L.H. Wade Barrington F. Wilson

Kansas Seconds Ready for MVC Game Tomorrow
The Kansas "B" football squad will run through its first practice as a unit this afternoon in preparation for the tussle at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow with Missouri Valley College of Marshall Mo.
George Dick assistant K.U. coach who will be in charge of the Crimson and Blue seconds announced the following tentative lineup this morning:
Dick Dreher at center, Robert Gove and Matt Zimmerman at guards, Bailey and Spencer at tackles, and Schroll and Gregory at ends. Backfield starters will include Starch at quarter, Knuth and Wantland at halfs, and Nims at full. Many changes may be made before and during the game in these positions, with the backfield being jugged around the most.
Little is known about the strength of reserve power of the Missouri Valley squad, except for the beating they took last weekend at the hands of Warrenburg Mo. Teachers, Dick stated that the Missouri school would probably be operating from a single wing with an unbalanced line, much the same as does the Kansas team. Otherwise he knew little more about what his eleven would have to face.
Admission to the game is free and all students are invited to come. It will be the first opportunity to see a KU. team in action in the daylight and the first time that Missouri Valley College has made an appearance in Lawrence. Game officials will be Mitt Allen, Clarence Douglass, and Armin Woestemeyer.
Gridmen Get Send Off
With thunderous cheers students gathered in the Union Memorial building at 1 p.m. today to send the grid stalwarts of Kansas off in high spirits to do battle against the Tula Hurricanes.
At the afternoon rally the crowd roared through the traditional University yells. Dutch Schimenz and Bob Miller said the team would do all that it could to return from the Oklahoma school victorious.
Students will meet again at the Union Pacific station at 6:50 tonight to put the team and coaches on the train for Tuka for the weekend fray.
The rally ended at 1:15 with the resounding "Rock Chalk."
BIG SIX SLANTS

The University of Kansas meets one of its mightiest foes of the pigskin season tomorrow evening when it takes the field against Tulsa University at Tulsa. This will be a non-conference game but would give K.U. a good record for early season dopesters to ponder over, if we can defeat the famed Tulsa squad. According to the large percentage of pre-game guessers, K.U. is definitely the underdog, but Kansas has one of the finest teams it has known for several seasons. This column is hoping for an upset. K.U. has one of its best chances this year.
**
\* \* \*
Iowa State College should have a fairly easy victory over Doane this weekend, although Doane does have a fine record for season openers. They handed Kearney Army Air field its first defeat. Although Kearney is not known for stellar players, it does have a good team. The Iowa Cyclones are boosted by many fans as the 1944 Big Six champions, and this game may be some indication of their power. We pick the Cyclones to win in a not too close game.
Most fans who don't pick Iowa for top honors, stick with the Sooners, from down Oklahoma way. We'll know more about them after seeing how they show against Texas A. and M. this week. We choose to yell for the Big Six and expect a close fight all the way. If Oklahoma can turn the trick, they will be the first of the Big Six teams to defeat a Southwest Conference club this season. Previously, Missouri lost to Arkansas, and K.U. to T.C.U.
***
Missouri and Kansas State open the Big Six Conference at Manhattan this weekend. Neither team has shown exceptional promise. Missouri has lost two pre-season games, the Arkansas game and a 54-0 shellaking at the hands of Ohio State. Kansas State can claim a tie with Wichita U. in last Saturday's game. These two teams should be evenly matched, but while we're picking, we'll chose the Kansans to edge out a narrow victory over Missouri.
Nebraska has an open date this weekend, luckily, perhaps, as they, as well as most of the other midwestern teams, were kept indoors most of the week by rain.
***
Just to see how lucky we are in our pre-season doping, we pick Iowa to top the Big Six Gridiron this year, with Oklahoma giving them a good run for their money. Kansas should come in about third, but Missouri may prove the surprise of the season, moving into one of the top positions. From here, it looks as though Kansas State and Nebraska should wind up in the cellar, even though we did pick K-State over Missouri. We just don't expect the Tigers to get started until later in the season, after they gain some valuable experience.

Donnelly Saves Second Game For Cards, 3-2
Perfect baseball weather greeted sports fans who began trailing into Sportsman's park early this afternoon to get set for today's third World Series battle between the Browns and the Cards, now standing tied up at one all after the Cards' 3-2 eleven inning victory yesterday afternoon.
Jack Kramer, seventeen game winner for the Browns during the past campaign will face rookie-of-the-year Ted Wilks on the rubber this afternoon. Wilks is also a seventeen game winner for the Cardinals. The game will be broadcast over the Mutual network at 2 p.m. (CWT). O'Dea Brings in Winning Run
Ken, O'Dea, Cardinal catcher pinch-hitting for Verban in the last of the eleventh, pasted a clean single to right to drive in Sanders with the winning run. The Cardinal first baseman had singled through second to open the fatal inning, and advanced to third by Whitey Kuroski's bunt. After Marion was walked intentionally, O'Dea plastered his game winning hit.
The Cards had previously scored in the third and fourth innings to go into the lead, 2-0, but the Browns hadn't given up. After two were away in the top half of the sixth inning, Moore singled to center for the second hit off Lanier. Hayworth then blew one into the outfield for two bases scoring Moore. Mancuso, batting for pitcher Potter, laced the third consecutive hit off the stumbling Lanier for a single, scoring Hayworth, and tieing the game at two all. Blix Donnelly, Cardinal relief hurler yesterday, became today's hero as he stopped the Browns cold after the near fatal sixth inning.
Cards Favored as Winners
Yesterday's victory made the Cards the 2-1 odds-on favorites to win the entire series. The Cards are also quoted as $81\% -5$ favorites to take this afternoon's thriller. Scribes are not predicting how many games the
