Rainy Weather Slows Practice For KU-Tulsa Clash Saturday; 'B' Team to Meet Missouri Valley
Three days of rainy weather and wet fields threatened to whittle down even more the Kansas Jayhawks' already slim chances of edging out the Tulsa Hurricanes next Saturday night when the two teams meet on the latter's home field. Practices have been held up enough during the last few days that the squad may lose its edge before the all-important Saturday encounter.
A good workout was held last night, but the mud and mist hampered passing and kicking no little bit. The Crimson and Blue lads are concentrating especially on passing, both offense and defense, for the Hurricanes are known for their very potent air game. Line play also received emphasis last night.
Shenk was bothered over injuries again today. Ivory Bird, stellar second string guard, received a dislocated shoulder in last night's

this week. The star center had previously been injured in Friday's Denver game to the extent of not being able to start next Saturday. Shenk hopes that the big 200-pounder will be around for a little while yet, at least for his twenty-one day period.

Head Coach Henry Frnka's big Tulsa squad is in very good condition for the Kansas game Saturday. In contrast to the cryings usually heard from the Oklahoma school, Frnka announced that the Hurricane was ready and raring to rear.
Tulsa Men Too Confident
Over-optimism may be the team's only fault, Frnka warned. He fears that his boys will get to studying the press clippings too much and forget they have a game to win Saturday. The Golden Hurricane has had only one regularly scheduled game this season, and that was with a grossly outclassed North Texas Aggie eleven. The boys need action, Frnka remarks.
The Tulsa starting lineup will probably include Clyde Goodnight, 185 end; Barney White, his 180 pound running mate; C. B. Stanley and Glen Gurgeis at the tackle slots; Carl Buda and Ellis Jones at the guard posts; and 195 wound Felto Prewitt at center. Backfield starters will include Charles Mitchell, Maurice Wade, Ed Shedosky, and Camp Wilson. Most familiar of the last four probably is Maurice "Red" Wade, former Missouri great who was mentioned two years in a row for All-America honors.
Tulsa Soccer Comments
The Hurricanes operate from a single wing much the same as the Jayhawks, except that the former make use of a balanced line. Buddy Brothers, Tulsa scout who has followed the Jayhawks through their first three games, reports that Kansas will be the team to beat Oklahoma if the latter intends to keep its Big Six title.
WBAA. student radio station at Purdue University, has arranged for special news coverage and programs when Germany surrenders.
Assistant coach George Dick prepaired his "B" team charges for the first such game of the season next Saturday afternoon with Missouri Valley college from Marshall, Mo.
Game time has been set at 2:00 p.m. instead of 2:30 as previously announced.
The Kansas "B" team will be composed of the remainder of the squad which will not make the trip to Tulsa. About 33 are expected to

journey south Friday, which will leave Dick with a fine assortment of material from which to draw.
The Missouri Valley eleven has played but one game this year, a contest with Warrenburg, Mo. teachers in which they were edged out but the Mules after taking an early lead. The former has a V-12 unit stationed at the university, and consequently will be able to place a potent team on the gridiron.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics at KU., announced yesterday that other such matches for those boys who do not get to make the out-of-town trips will undoubtedly be announced at a later date. All students and local fans are urged to come, for there will be no admission charge.
All-St. Louis Series Opens This Afternoon
Today was the day!
The opening day of the World Series, the first in history to be played in St. Louis, with a move to another town. This is the first time in the history of the American League, 43 years, that the Brownies have grabbed the pennant. They clinched it the hard way, even now, by not clinching it until the last day. This fighting American League team had to make a clean sweep of the last series of the season, a four game series with the New York Yankees, while the second place Detroit Tigers lost their final game of the season to the cellar team, the Senators, from Washington.
Manager Luke Sewell, who guided the Browns into their first pennant, plans to start Denny Galehouse on the mound instead of Potter, as was previously expected to be the choice. He will not doubt oppose Mort Cooper, Cardinal. Manager Billy Southworth's choice for today's opener.
Both teams are eager to take the first game and both would like to have the decided edge that goes with it.
No games were played in the intramural touch football leagues last night on account of rain and wet fields. If the rain keeps falling, there probably will not be any tonight, for the fields have not even been marked for playing yet and won't be until the weather clears up a little, Raymond Kanehl, assistant director of intramurals said today.
Intramural Openers Rained Out Yesterday
Team managers are advised to consult their opponents and to select a suitable night for playing the matches, he added.
The "no smoking on the campus" tradition at Kansas State College was abolished this summer.
Moffett Will Head K-Club This Year; Club Plans Initiation
Charles Moffett, outstanding basketball and football player of last year, was chosen president of the K-Club last evening, to succeed George Dick.
Other officers elected at this meeting of the University's athletes are:
ng of the University Dick Dreher, football letter man vice-president; Dan Chan, football man, treasurer; Lynn Leigh, track man, secretary; and Bob Miller, football man, sergeant-at-arms.
Plans are being made to obtain pictures of athletic captains to bring the group now in the K-room up to date. The club decided that anyone not receiving his letter before the K-Club dance last spring would be initiated and an initiation committee was appointed to take charge.
No action was taken at the meeting regarding the wearing of freshman caps although the matter was discussed.
Plans for a picnic at Hokum's grove at 4 p.m. Sunday were discussed.

Chief Hayes Gives Call for K.U. Boxers
All civilians and V-12 students interested in varsity boxing are asked to meet in Robinson gymnasium on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays at 4:30 p.m., boxing coach Chief Ralph Hayes has announced
Boxing has recently been made an intercollegiate sport at K.U. in answer to many requests of local fans and athletes. Meets have been scheduled in the near future with the Olathe naval air station both here and there.
From the show of boxers last spring in bouts with the Haskell squad, a powerful group of punchers will probably be wearing the Crimson and Blue this winter, Hayes said.
Mates' and these same personnel in the academic training in Fowler Shops. V. P. Hessler and R. P. Stringham instructed electrical engineering for the Electricians' Mates. All visual training was supervised by Mr. Montgomery.
The reserve section of the Army Specialized Training Program has been for 17-year-old boys who wish to take advantage of such training before induction into the Army. All have been permitted to complete any 12-week term that is started before the trainee's 18th birthday. The program was started a little more than a year ago and these boys were quartered and administered with the Army Specialized Training students while the latter were on the campus before March 1944. Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris has been in charge. Results of examinations in school work done have shown Army trainees at the University of Kansas have been outstanding in this area and even throughout the whole country.
Last Group Leaves Oct. 28
The last contingent arrived in August. Their term ends Oct.28. Those who have further work to do will be transferred to other colleges. Those who are completing their last term will go directly into the service.
"I do want to assure you that the Service Command is very appreciative of the splendid and superior manner in which Kansas conducted the Army Specialized Training Program," wrote Major Elverson E. Baker, director of the Army Specialized Training Division in Omaha.
