Fourth Quarter Touchdown Gives TCU 7-0 Victory
Denver university appeared this week as Number 3 on the bill-offare for the Jayhawkers who went down before Texas Christian university at Kansas City Saturday night by a score of 7 to 0. The game at Denver will be played Friday night.
Texas had something the Jay-hawkers didn't have—some good passers and receivers, but it looked as though Kansas would hold them even until the middle of the fourth quarter when they slipped-up on a delayed line plunge which they had been stopping all evening, and permitted the Horned Frogs to score unhindered.
Two Kansas passes failed to gain, however, and TCU took over on a Kansas penalty on their own 35 yard line. From here on the Jayhawks were on the defensive.
After the fourth quarter was well underway, Jackson's fatal kick spelled defeat for the Kansans. Following the TCU score, coach Henry Shenk slipped in practically a whole new team. The last ditch Kansas bid, though, resting on a number of trick pass plays, was stopped as Cox intercepted Miller's pass on the Kansas 34 yard line. Seconds before the game ended the Jayhawks again got possession of the ball, but time ran out on them. Final score—Kansas 0. Texas Christian 7.

It came about in this way: After Jackson's punt had rolled dead on the Kansas 1 yard line, Endecott was forced to kick out of danger. Kucera, tricky TCU back who engineered most of the Horned Frog's scoring threats, returned the ball to the K.U. 34 yard line. On the next play he heaved a flat pass to Merle Gibson who carried it to the twelve. Three plays later the same fast TCU back went off left guard to score standing up.
Moffett Opens With Dash
Moffett opened the game with a 26-yard dash off right tackle, but the TCU line stiffened and the Kansans were forced to kick. Then, with Joe Kuecra at the throttle, the Horned Frogs marched all the way from their own 20 to the Kansas 20-yard line, but here the Crimson and Blue dug in and held. Bergin's two attempts at the line were in vain, and Kansas punted out of danger.
A few minutes later the Texans again started a potential touchdown march, this one beginning on the Kansas 36. With Sherrod and Kucera alternating at running and passing, TCU drove to the Kansas 18-yard marker, but again the Jayhawks stopped them in time. The third TCU drive of the first half was cut short on the Kansas 2 when Charlie Moffett intercepted a Horned Frog pass and returned it to the 15 yard line. The next Kansas offensive developed into a drive which was stopped as Ruff intercepted Barrington's pass on his own 35, seconds before the half ended.
Mid-way in the third quarter Charlie Moffett again gave KU a chance to score as he broke loose for a 42-yard run all the way to the TCU 28-yard line.

It could readily be seen by watching Saturday night's game that Texas Christian had thoroughly scouted Henry Shenk's boys. The holes off tackle through which Kansas backs had slipped against Washburn weren't there the other night. A TCU second-ary man just seemed to know exactly where to wait for the play and, as a result, the powerful Kansas offensive was held to a skimpy 103 yards gained from rushing. Both teams, however, played better defensive than offensive games. Kansas showed real promise by digging in so many times when a Frog touchdown appeared to be in the making. If the Jayhawks had known what sort of playsTCU would pull, they undoubtedly would have been much more successful than they were.
Kansas just couldn't seem to get any of the breaks Saturday night. Jackson's punts only averaged two yards better than those of the Jayhawks', but luck was certainly with the big Texan. Almost every time the ball would bounce from Moffett's territory and roll out near the goal line. Twice the Kansas safety man let the ball roll dead, thinking that it was sure to bounce across the goal line, but a magnet seemed to hold it back. It stopped once on the two, and another time on the one yard line
More KU Women Fill Jobs This Year
"More women students are seeking jobs this year than ever before," said Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the adviser of women. Out of more than 400 students who are working this semester, 145 registered for jobs this month and 49 registered in July. Of those who registered for work this semester, there are less than 20 who have not yet been placed.
Most of the students who apply for work have had typing in high school; some have had good practical experience; and a very small number have had business school training.
Many jobs in University offices, the library, and book stores have been filled. Many applicants have been placed in downtown jobs in retail stores, offices, and grocery stores.
"There is always a place for good stenographers in the offices at the University and in downtown offices," Miss Miller said.
"There is an urgent need for students to work in the University Food Service, especially in the Union fountain at noon and in the mornings, Miss Miller added. "Almost any student who will work where they are most needed will be placed," she said.

Wentworth Band Marched
A very well drilled and organized Wentworth Military Academy band entertained fans before the game and during half-time. The marching exhibited by the MWA lads thrilled and delighted the overflow crowd. For an intersectional game of such size, the field Saturday night was certainly poorly marked. It was virtually impossible to tell on what yard line the ball was resting, and many a fan couldn't make out what down was indicated by the head linesman.
The Jayhawks missed Walt Isaacson, fleet Kansas back who was shipped out the latter part of last week. He might easily have meant a big difference in the score, since the game was so close.
Other Big Six and Valley Doings—
Other Big Six and Valley Bounces-
Missouri surprised the experts by losing to Arkansas Saturday, 7 to 6. The Tiger eleven outgained and outplayed the Razorbacks, but a blocked kick that was recovered for a touch-down by Arkansas' left guard Henry Ford, spelled victory for the visitors.
Oklahoma A. & M. routed West Texas State by a 41-6 count. . Tulsa swamped Texas A. & M., 47 to 6 . . and out in Colorado Springs, Colorado College literally tore Washburn apart as they staged a 67-0 massacre at the Ichabod's expense. Other Big Six schools did not play, all opening their seasons this coming Saturday. We counter Jim Reed, Topeka Capital sports scribe, with this proposed final Big Six football finish: Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska, Kansas State, in that order. Reed has picked Iowa State to cop the title, with Oklahoma second and Missouri third. His second division is the same as ours..
