Jayhawks Build Aerial Offense Against Denver
A new Kansas Jayhawk offense began taking shape in practice yesterday designed to throw a few monkey wrenches in Denver Pioneer hopes for a victorious season opener next Friday night on the Colorado college's home ground, Hilltop field.
Henry Shenk, Kansas head coach, intends to show the mountain boys that the Jayhawks can beat a Pioneer team, a thing that has not happened since 1932. Cac Hubbard's squad is slated to be much stronger than last year, when the Denver team outscored Kansas, 19 to 6.
Shenk's offense will be built around forward passes. Charlie Moffett, Don Barrington, John Bergin, and Jim Weatherby will probably share the job of tossing them, while Dutch Schimenz and Charles Daigneault will be on the other end. These well-laid plans may go astray, however, for Moffett, Bergin, Schimenz, and Bob Miller are currently on the injured list, and Shenk may not take them along next Friday.
Major Clyde (Cac) Hubbard, Denver head man, is pleased with his pre-season workouts. His line will be a vast improvement over the forward wall of 1943, permitting the somewhat heavier and definitely faster backs to shake loose on occasion. Hubbard's starting backfield probably will consist of Johnny Karamigos, Bob Hazelhurst, Gene Mapelli, and Johnny Adams. All of these men are holdovers from last year's team. Mapelli has been pulled out of the line into the backfield to assume the duties of the blocking back.
Line prospects include Wayne Flannigan, letterman last year, Dick Yates, Nate Feld, Hans Brucker, and John White. The squaw is drilling on the tricky "T" formation this week, hoping to use it to advantage against the Jayhawks.
WAA Pow Wow Set For 4:30 Tomorrow
Plans are under way for the WAA Sports Pow Wow to be held at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon in Fraser theater, Roberta Sue McCluggage, WAA president, announced today.
The program will consist of the presentation of awards won last year in women's intramurals and a short program. Two freshman women from each organized house will take part in the entertainment.
The first rehearsal for the Pow Wow was yesterday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. The second and final rehearsal will be this afternoon. "All University women are invited to attend the Sports Pow Wow, even if they are not members of WAA," Miss McCluggage said.
Allies Pledge Italv Support
The chairman of the committees responsible for the Pow Wow are Marjorie Free, stage manager; Lucy Smith, property manager; Kathryn O'Leary, door committee; Margaret Kreider, music committee; Lavone Jacobson, art committee; Joan Burch and Charlotte Price, program committee. Violet Conard and Miss McCluggage are also assisting.
Washington—INS —The strong pledge of support for Italy issued by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill is interpreted in diplomatic quarters as a move to strengthen the government of Premier Bonomi against vociferous opposition and thus prevent a political collapse in the midst of direct economic confusion.

Intramural Football Begins Next Tuesday
Two touch football leagues of five teams were drawn up at the initial intramurals meeting of the year yesterday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. Play will begin next week, and managers will be notified when their team is to play.
Organizations in the "A" league are residence halls, Sigma Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Beta Theta Pi. Those entered in the "B" league are John Moore Co-op, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Nu, and Phi Gamma Delta. Each team will meet the other teams in its league once, with the winners of the two leagues clashing for the intramural football championship. Games will be played twice each week, at 4:30 Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The deadline for a team to show up will be set at 5 p.m.
The teams, consisting of from six to eight players, are to be under the direction of an intramural manager who will be responsible for the presence of the team at each scheduled game. Teams must furnish a referee also. A list of rules governing the general method of play has been given to each manager, and team members are asked to become familiar with them.
Plans for a tennis tournament after he football games are finished were mentioned, but details were left for a later date.
Team Will Wear Crimson-Yellow Suits
Soon to appear in place of the current well worn models are a complete set of brilliant new football uniforms, Henry Shenk, coach, announced yesterday.
There will be no difficulty, he commented, in identifying Kansas players from now on. The jerseys are a white satin, while the easily read letters are emblazoned with a dazzling crimson. The pants are bright yellow with a wide crimson stripe running down the back.
New York-INS—Severance of diplomatic relations with Hungary, last Germany satellite Balkan nation, was announced today by the Bulgarian-Sofa radio.
The uniforms were to have been ready for the TCU game, but wartime transportation held up the shipment. University students will probably see the gaudy jerseys and pants for the first time at the homecoming game with Nebraska on October 21.

Among former K.U. students and instructors heard from in the past few weeks was Major E.B. (Bert) DeGroot, Jr., former teacher in the department of physical education, who is now physical training officer for fourth air force headquarters in San Francisco, Calif. Major DeGroot also supervised practice teachers at University High during his stay here.
His father, Dud S. DeGroot, was a pioneer in physical education having worked with James Nesmith. He is now a director in Boy Scout work on the West coast. A younger brother of Bert's was an ace javelin hurler at the University of Southern California, while Major DeGroot himself lettered in the pole vault at Leland Stanford.
Major nad Mrs. DeGroot have recently announced the birth of a second son, Donald Forrest. The DeGroot's present address is Office of the Physical Training Officer, 180 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco 6, Calif.
Others in the service—Bill Arnold,
on the Hill in '42, is now a second lieutenant in the air corps—George

It's still dog-eat-dog in the AL pennant chase today. Dizzy Trout won number 27 yesterday to keep the Tigers up there, while the Brownies hung on to their first place tie with the Detroit gang by edging the Bosox 1 to 0.
Although the Cards have clinched the National pennant, little plans have been made for the 1944 World Series. AL moguls are delving into rules and statutes governing the case of a tie in the regular season of play. With Detroit and St. Louis each having but 5 games to play, such a possibility is not far from a reality. True, the Browns have sterner competition to face, but they will be playing at home, a big entry in the other side of the ledger. The stay-ability of the New York Yankees may well decide the race, for the Browns have four games to play with them.

Ward Hayley believes his K-State charges will win a game or two this fall. . . . And up at I-State they're gleaning over some of the brightest Cyclone prospects in many years. . . . Over in Columbia, M.U. coach Chauncey Simpson is having his troubles. Unsatisfied with the Mizzou showing against Arkansas last week, the Missouri mentor has shifted Ed Quirk, 215 lb tackle, to the fullback slot, and Jack Donell, regular tailback, to the right half back post. This would give Missouri tremendous power and speed in the backfield, if it should work. . . JEB.
Former K.U. Music Student Makes Debut In European Town With Fast Concert
Kansas musical art penetrated far afield and in strange circumstances when Sgt. Marshall Butler, a student in 1942, made his European debut recently in a hurriedly arranged concert in a French town.
He emerged from an armored motor column passing through the town, which had been taken from the German forces only a few hours before, to perform two DeBussy selections and a number by Chopin. His instrument was the only one that could be found—a piano in the school auditorium. The town people cheered him wildly, but the column was starting forward again and Sergeant Butler had to make a run for his lace after kisses and hand shaking.
"It was the most attentive audience I ever had," he said.

Arrangements for the program were made by a French girl who told Butler's buddies that her father was an orchestra conductor at the conservatory of Le Mans and that her mother was an opera singer

Plan to Have Jerome Davis
The committee is also planning to arrange for the appearance of Jerome Davis, educator, author, and correspondent, who will be available to speak in the spring on "Russia as I Saw it in 1944," and other timely subjects.
The committee also hopes to bring to the campus the eminent leader of the young conservative party in England, Robert Boothly, who is reputed to be the best speaker in the House of Commons. Mr. Boothly was formerly private secretary to Winston Churchill. He has taken an active part in the war, and is a member of the house of commons. He is also one of the most popular political figures and public speakers in Great Britain today.
Bob Hope will broadcast Sunday evening from Topeka.
Allen Will Be MC At War Dads Meeting
Dr. F.C. Allen of the department of physical education, will be master of ceremonies at the county-wide meeting of the War Dads tomorrow night in the Community building. The principal speaker of the meeting will be Nat Milgram, founder of the War Dads organization.
The University band will play at the meeting, and Prof. Joseph Wilkins, of the School of Fine Arts, will lead the singing. Parents, wives, sweethearts, brothers, sisters, and friends of men in the service are invited to attend the meeting, Dr. Allen said.
