Team Emphasizes Pass Defense As T.C.U. Contest Draws Near
The mid-western football spotlight this weekend will be turned on the intersectional encounter Saturday night between the surprising Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Christian university's Horned Frogs at Ruppert stadium in Kansas City. It will mark the first time the Jayhawks have played in Kansas City since 1910, when Missouri held the boys from Lawrence to a 5-all tie. The Horned Frogs will be showing their wares before Kansas Citians for the first time.
for the first time.
Fresh from their triumph over Washburn last Friday night by an overpowering 47-0 score, the Chimson and Blue are rapidly getting in shape for the week-end battle.
Coach Henry Shenk has been experimenting all week in an attempt to find a method of dulling the Horned Frogs passing attack, heralded as one of the finest in the nation. Shenk still plans to give the fans more of the thrilling ground and aerial display that was so evident at last Friday's game, and he promises some "surprises" for the Texans to digest.
Injuries One of Problems
Injuries have not been the least of Shenk's worries. "Dutch" Schiimenz, Johnny Bergin, and Bob Miller, are all troubled with injured feet, Pergin's mishap coming at the start of the Washburn massacre. This may be more serious than it sounds, for Miller and Bergin are 1-2 men in the wingback slot, and Shenk may have trouble finding replacements if the boys are not in playing condition. Otherwise the lineup will be about the same, with Riegel at left end, Rouse beside him at tackle, Keller at left guard, Hird at center, Day at right guard, Hunter at right tackle, and Schimenz's right end position in doubt. Backfield starters will probably be Moffet at quarterback, Endecott at right half, Barrington at fullback, with the left half slot to be filled by either Bergin or Miller.
Mever Strategy a Puzzle
Dutch Meyer, veteran T.C.U. mentor, will furnish the big question mark of the evening. The Horned Frogs will be taking the field for the first time, and although it is pretty definite they will ride the air lanes, little else is known about the Meyer's strategy. Shenk has not been able to get a line on what the Fort Worth players may attempt, whereas TCU scouts are on hand Friday night to view the Jayhawks in actual competition.
Frogs Have Injuries Too
Coach Meyer also has been having his injury headaches. Clyde Flowers, 200 pound 4-F tackle, is a doubtful starter next Saturday because of a leg injury, and George Gartner, a Houston, Texas, Navy V-12 tainne, is definitely out with a bad elbow. Both men had been counted on for heavy duty. The T.C.U. squad is composed of 18 17-year-olds, 3 4-Fs, one 4-D, one 18-year-old, 11 Navy men, and 8 players with medical discharges from the Armed Forces. Scotty Rainey and Johnny Sherrod, Forth Worth aspirants for the quarterback slot, are classified 1-A, and may not be around very long. A unique player on the T.C.U. squad in Dub Garren, 17-year-old letter man, who earned his varsity "T" at end for the 1943 Frogs. Merle Gibson of Parosors, Kan., probably will be at the other end position.
Texans to Arrive Friday
The Texas boys will arrive in Kansas City in time to practice at the stadium Friday night, and Shenk and about 35 men will leave Lawrence sometime Saturday afternoon. Officials for the game will be House, referee; Minton, umpire; Miller, head linesman; and Haskins, field judge.
Only previous meeting of the two teams was in 1942 when the Jayhawks were handed a 41-6 spanking,

Women Begin Hockey Practice
Colleges Plan New Buildings Of 143 colleges 114 are planning 426 new buildings after the war.
The first hockey practice of the year began at 3:30 yesterday afternoon at Robinson gymnasium. Any girl who is at all interested in learning this game should come out for practice urged Miss Hoover, because there will be very few old players returning, and the chances of making the team will be greater. The practices will be held at 3:30 every Tuesday and Thursday in the Robinson gymnasium.
