Shenk Names Thirty Men For Tulsa Trip
Rain again forced the bottles up Kansas Jayhawks to take shelter last night, but coach Shenk hopes that the squad will be able to make up for the loss tonight in a rough and tumble scrimmage. Instead of the usual outside drills, the football team listened to a chalk talk on pass formations in preparation for next Saturday's Tulsa game.
Shenk named this noon the following list of thirty men who will make the long journey to Tula Friday. The group includes Don Barrington, Clifford Brown, Garland Cantrell, Dan Chase, Bill Chestnut, Charles Daigneault, Dud, Day, O. J. Endecott, Donald Faulkner, Wayne Hird, Sam Hunter, Charles Keller, Dorwin Lamkin, Cecil Langford, Bob Miller, Charles Moffett, Gordon Reynolds, Warren Riegle, Leroy Robison, Wallace Rouse, John Schimenz, Theodore Short, Donald Stockdale, Dwight Sutherland, James Weatherby, Ben Welch, Richard Williams, and Ralph Wygle.
With the exception of Hird and Ivory Bird, the squad is remarkably free from injuries for this part of the season.
Among those listed to serve on the "B" squad for the Missouri Valley game here at Memorial stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday are Wilmer Baumann, Larry Benedict, Ivory Bird, Keith Bradley, Keith Brecheisen, Bob Burch, Louis Castein, Robert Gove, James Gray, Lee Gregory, Cliff Hargiss, John McDermott, Ed Miner, Lester Mische, Gene Nelson, George Newton, William Nims, William Spencer, Earl Stanton, John Twente, Matt Zimmerman, Dick Dieher, and Hawley. "No starting lineup has been definitely decided upon for either team, though both squads will be well-balanced.
Fields May Be Dry In Time for Games
Intramural touch football games scheduled for this afternoon on the south athletic fields may or may not be played, depending upon the condition of the fields at game time, assistant intramural director Ray Kanehl announced this morning.
The fields appeared to be drying out rapidly this morning on account of the sunshine, and it is very possible that they may be ready. The reason for the delay lies in the fact that they must be laid out before games can be played, and this requires a dry turf.
In any event, team managers are advised to contact their opponents and make arrangements as to what should be done. If games are not played, they may be played at the soonest possible date on which other matches are not scheduled.
General Arnold Announces Discontinuation of WASP
The Women's air force service pilots (WASP) will cease functioning on Dec. 20, according to Gen. H. H. Arnold. That is the plan "unless there are unexpected and much higher combat losses in the air war over Germany."
The announcement said the decision was based on present indications that by mid-December sufficient masculine pilots will be available to fill all flying assignments in this country and overseas. The WASP's have been largely used in ferrying services.

Enlistments for Women Reopen
Enlistments for Women Reopen
A notice has been received by Miss Florence Black of the Mathematics department announcing the reopening of enlistments for women in the Marine Corps. Enlistment in the SPARS has been closed for some time but the Kansas City district has received a quota that will allow it to enlist women for the next few months. The notice came from Capt. Bernice Wilson, recruiting officer for the Kansas City district.
Cards Favored In Second Game Of World Series
Still wondering about the two runs the St. Louis Brownns made off only two hits yesterday to win the 1944 World series opener with the St. Louis Cardinals 2 to 1, St. Louis sports fans began streaming into Sportsmand park early this afternoon in hopes of a second game of the calibre of yesterday's thriller.
Nelson Potter, winner of 19 games for the Browns this season, is expected to oppose lefty Max Lanier, who hung up seventeen victories for the Cards. Managers Southworth and Sewell have announced no other changes in their teams' starting lineups.
George McQuinn's two run homen in the first half of the fourth inning proved to be the game winning blow in yesterday's opener. It was the second successive hit off big Mort Cooper, Card starter, and it was the last. Gene Moore had single with two away to break the hitting ice, and then came McQuinn's four base wallop. After that Cooper put the screws on, and allowed no more hits until he was pulled for a pinch hitter in the seventh. Blix Donnelly, his relief, also kept the Brownies bats away from the ball, but the damage had already been done.
The Cards' lone score came in the last half of the ninth inning on two sacrificed flies that advanced Marty Marion from second to home. Although the losers collected seven scattered hits in the course of the game, they failed to bunch any of them. The Browns go into today's game 9 to 10 favorites to take the series, but the Cards were given 5 to 3 odds to take the game this afternoon.
Three Sports Included In Fall Intramurals
With tennis and badminton singles in full swing, women's intramurals for the year are well underway. Already the first round and part of the second round of both tournaments have been completed. Some of the tennis matches have been held up because of the rainy weather, but with the two new concrete courts south of the stadium, part of this problem is solved.
The first volleyball games of the year will be Tuesday, Oct. 10. The following teams will play: Kappa Kappa Gamma-Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega-Foster at 7:30, and Delta Gama g a-Watkins. Kappa Alpha Theta-Miller at 8:15. Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 7:30 IWW will play Alpha Omicron Pi and Harmon will play Alpha Chi Omega. Gamma Phi Beta-E.T.C., Corin-BIND, and Pi Beta Phi-Sigma Kappa will play Thursday, Oct. 12.

Again we shall rush in where angels fear to tread and attempt to sustain our last week's record by picking this week-end's football winners. Iowa Seahawks vs. Second Air Force—we have already named the Superbombers as the team of the year, 'nuff said; Purdue vs. Illinois—we like the Boilermakers, but we may be wrong; Iowa State vs. Doane—just another warmup for the Cyclones; Kansas at Tulsa—the Golden Hurricane just has too much in the way of reserves for the Jayhawkers; Missouri at Kansas State—the Tigers will push the Cats all over the Tennessee—will ride the 'Ol Miss; Minnesota over Michigan. Other games of more than local interest; Notre Dame to clean up on Tulane; Oklahoma in a close one over Texas A. & M.; Navy to recover and whip Penn State; Great Lakes to continue its victories by hitting Northwestern hard; and Randolph Field to fly to victory over Texas U.

Our article Tuesday on the merits of the "T" formation has aroused much controversial comment on the Hill. Everywhere it is being pointed out to us that we are over-optimistic in our praise of the "T" and predictions of its future popularity, and that many ways are known of stopping it at present. Cited have been the poor records of such "T" proponents as Missouri and Kansas State, this year, and the victory string of last year's Oklahoma Big Six champions, who fought their way to the top using the single wing entirely. Neither was our article intended as a slant on this year's K.U. eleven, also users of the single wing formation. The Kansas lads have performed exceptionally well in their first three games this fall, holding the Denver "T" to a mere 89 yards gained rushing.
The only ways we can still see of stopping the "T" successfully, provided the teams are of the same calibre, are as follows. First, as we have mentioned, simply forget about defensive tactics and attempt to outscore the other team. This works only when a powerful offensive has been produced. Second, keep every man on the field on the alert all the time, and use a fast charging line. This is most successful when the opponents are not a passing team. We have not yet been informed of

a method of stopping a team cold that passes from the "T", except to have a smarter quarterback in there than the offense does. A man of the calibre of Sid Luckman can practically smell the next play and will have a man or men there to stop it cold. But such football supermen do not grow on trees.
The single wing with the man-in-motions added has proved a most effective offense against the "T", we will admit, but we will string along with coach Henry Shenk, not completely in sympathy with us, when he says that the "T" is here for a long time to come. But we still believe that Kansas and her single wing is the strongest outfit in the state, "T" formation or no "T" formation.

Mica's special insulating qualities are mighty important in communications equipment. No equivalent exists, so war's huge demands caused a critical shortage.
Bell Telephone Laboratories' scientists were assigned the task of somehow finding more mica. They found it—in the very considerable amounts of raw mica which visual inspection had rejected. By developing electrical apparatus to test the two most important electrical properties, they increased the usable amount of mica by half and so stretched current supplies of mica to fill all military needs.
In many such ways the Bell System is serving the nation, constantly meeting the needs of our fighting forces for dependable communications.
