Tulsa Saturday Toughest Game; Denver Tied 14-14
The Kansas Jayhawks, fresh from a 14-14 tie with Denver last Friday night, invade the recesses of one of the strongest teams in the nation Saturday when they meet the Tulsa Hurricanes, undefeated so far in season play, on the latter's home field. The Golden Hurricanes, with their 27 returning veterans of last year and a wealth of well-selected players from all parts of the United States, will probably be the university's strongest opposition of the year.
The squad came home from the Denver game in good condition, with the exception of Wayne Hird who again injured his knee and will be unable to play this week. Hird's injury, while not fatal to the team's chances, took the edge off the playing in the first half and placed it on the defensive.
It was a determined Jayhawk team that came back to score as rapidly as the Pioneers did Friday, and only a limited amount of time seemed to stand in the way of a last-minute touchdown which would have given Kansas the game.
Denver scored first in the second quarter when a 39-yard pass was followed by a 7-yard pass into the end zone. Between them, Barrington and Moffett dragged the ball to the one-foot mark in the third quarter and Moffett went over for the tying score.
tying score.
In the same period, Denver again took the lead on a 54-yard pass to the 4-yard line and a series of line bucks which carried the ball over. Kansas' tying score came in the fourth quarter after Gordon Renolds' recovery of a Denver funnel. Then followed a drive from the 34 to the 23-yard line and a pass from Moffett to Riegle tied the count again. Hans Brucker place-kicked both extra points for Denver and Bill Chestnut dropkicked the extra points for Kansas.
points for Kansas
The fans are giving the players great credit for their efforts in view of the fact that they had a long trip just before the game and were playing in a higher altitude. Kansas has not defeated Denver since 1932 when our best team in years won by only one point.
Browns Will Meet Cards Wednesday In World Series
It will be an all-St. Louis affair when the World Series in baseball opens Wednesday.
Jens Wendelstedt.
In the most spectacular endings in baseball history, the Browns won the American league pennant Sunday through their 5 to 2 defeat of the Yankees at St. Louis while the Detroit Tigers were taking a beating from the lowly Washington Senators.
1018. It was the first pennant for the Browns in the 43 years of the league's history. There were all kinds of rejoicing and celebration among the St. Louis fans as the result.
In winning the pennant, the pennant, the Browns took three of the four games from the Yankees while the Tigers were merely splitting even with the last-place Senators.
The Cardinals are favored to win the series, but with the determination shown by the Brown's last week, anything can happen.
Because both St. Louis teams use the same park—one of the smallest in the major leagues—both teams will be playing at home. Both teams have the same batboy whose allegiance will be strained at times.
Sportorials
By Earl Barney
The outstanding football game in the nation next Saturday appears to be the meeting of two service elevens, the Iowa Seahawks and the Second Air Force Superbombers at Lincoln, Nebr.
The past record of the Seahawks is too well known to many college elevens. Last year the navy eleven rolled up 277 points to their opponents 98, losing only to Notre Dame in a 14-13 heart-breaker. Their nine victories were scored over such outstanding teams as Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa U., Iowa State, Missouri, Ft. Riley, and Minnesota. Though this year's team is not conceded to be of the calibre of last season's champions, their past two games with Michigan and Minnesota have proved they are definitely one of the better clubs in the nation this year.
The Superbombers are the talk of nationwide sports circles this year. Though fielding no team last season, the second air force really went to work this fall, combing air fields all over the second air command for all kinds of talent. With a backfield built around Glenn Dobbs and Ray Evans, both All-America breasts of the past few years and two of the greatest passers of all time, the Bombers have rolled over all opposition, piling up tremendous scores without even having their own goal line touched.
Although the battle appears a close one, this department prefers the air corps lads from the west. Seahowk power isn't up to last year, and we believe the Superbombers will be one of the two or three top teams in the nation this year. With two such backs as named above in the same backfield, no team can hope to hold them down to a reasonable number of touchdowns, and the Iowa navy lads just aren't going to be able to out score them.
Looming broadly on the sporting horizon this coming week is the classic of the great American sport, the American-as-apple-pie baseball World Series. And looming almost as broadly in the events of the day
are the powerful St. Louis Cardinals, winners of the 1944 National League pennant by a very comfortable margin. It would appear to us that the St. Louis lads are almost a sure bet for the 1944 World Series also, though some may not agree with us. True, during the lost month the Cards have been playing almost entirely for the sake of getting it over with, and may have lost some of the sharpness that goes with a down the stretch battle for a pennant as was witnessed in the American League this season. But with an outfield built around such a player as Stan Musial, and with Slats (Mr. Shortstop) Marion in the infield supporting a pitching staff of all-around ability, the Cards are in, for all we can tell. Southworth has been very wisely resting his stars for the coming classic, and they probably will be in tip top shape again before long. If the Browns can muster enough stay-ability to come out on top, our hat is off to them.

Paths Are Not Being Cut in Grass
Parents and school teachers would begin to have hopes for their young charges if they could see the results of the long hours of patient remonstrances which begin to take effect when the young people get to college. For instance, have you ever noticed how very few students cut across the grass on their way to and from classes? It took a lot of drilling when they were youngsters, but results have finally been produced.

New Curtains to Be Bought For Fraser Theater
Dr. Allen stated that this year's basketball five probably won't be recognizable by old K.U. students, for only Charlie Moffett and Dean Corder of last year's squad will be around in December. Most of the positions will be wide open, and there will be plenty of opportunities for new men. Little is known about the calibre of new men on the Hill, but Dr. Allen promises that K.U. will again put a wide open, fast ball club on the floor.
