From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas Jayhawks have the best defensive team in the Big Six, believe it or not! As figures don't lie, this statement is given firm substantiation from the fact that the Crimson and Blue has had fewer points scored against them than any other team in the league, and is also the only other team besides Oklahoma to turn in a shutout. The Jayhawks have given up 67 points, but have blanked Washburn twice. Iowa State, with 101 points against them, and Kansas State, with 148 fall at the opposite extreme. It has been that offensive punch which on most occasions the Jayhawks have lacked.
An equally interesting and cheering fact is that only ONCE this season have the Jayhawks been out first-downed by opponents. Although the Shenkmen have gone down in defeat in four of their seven games to date, only in the Iowa State encounter did the Jayhawks fall short on first downs when final statistics were tabulated. Yes, it is surely too bad that first downs don't win football games.
Coach Shenk, who viewed the Washburn - Warrensburg deadlock last Friday, states that the Mules from Missouri are a pretty rugged band of tacklers. He expects them to present a tough defense in Saturday's game. Two big ends snag passes off Warrensburg's passing attack, which Shenk describes as "pretty fair." The Mules had a touchdown called back in the Washburn game because of an offside penalty.

Don Barrington will be missed in there at fullback, but his absence will be more sorely felt at linebacker. Barrington is the better on defense. Hence, with Junius Penny, other regular linebacker also out for the season, a big responsibility will be left for other Jayhawks. Hird, who has taken over on one side, has been turning in a good job of linebacking. It will probably fall to Robert George to fill Barrington's shoes at the other back-up slot. On offense, either Bill Mowery, Lewis Miller, or George will take over at the fullback. Weatherby has also been showing up pretty good at that position. Whoever takes over will find himself in unfamiliar shoes. Miller, former William Jewell full, has the big job of getting thoroughly acquainted with the Shenk system in the space of only a few days, while the other three are converted halfbacks. George will also be used a lot at tailback, his home position. When George takes over at full, it will probably be Moffett, Bob Miller, or Williams in there at left half.
The Fort Riley CRTC game which was originally scheduled for November 27, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, has been moved up to Thanksgiving Day, the 25th. This is so that holiday entertainment can be provided for the Fort Riley soldiers. The game will not be played at the camp because of limited seating capacity, but instead in Junction City on the J.C.H.S. field.
Federal Sales Tax Is Radio Subject
Three professors of economists will discuss the question, "Should we have a federal sales tax?" at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow evening on KFKU's University of Kansas Roundtable, according to Paul B. Lawson, chairman of the roundtable committee. The speakers are F. T. Stockton, R. S. Howey, and Leslie L. Waters, all of the department of economics
CVC Officers Meet Tonight at Union
Lieutenants and sergeants of the Coed Volunteer Corps will meet at 9:30 tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, Major Jean Hoffman, announced today.
"We were unable to announce the promotions in rank at our general meeting yesterday," Miss Hoffman said, "as all of the lieutenants have not yet turned them in from their respective houses. If the promotions are not turned in by tonight, they will not be considered effective," she added.
Cheerleader Tryout Will Be at Union
"Anyone interested in cheerleading should be at the tryouts at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, in the Kansas room of the Union building," Ruth Krehbiel, head cheerleader, announced today. These tryouts will be a form of application, and election will not be held until later, she said.
Quack Club Tryouts Will Be Next Week
Two civilian men will be needed as assistants at the Homecoming football game, and there is also a vacancy for more service men, Miss Krehbjei said.
Quack Club tryouts will be conducted at 7:30 next Wednesday and Thursday evenings, at the pool in Robinson gymnasium. Irma Lee Hasty, Quack Club representative, announced today.
Since the club will be able to use the pool only a short time, tryouts had to be scheduled for two nights. The method for dividing the group has not been decided, but those girls who are playing volleyball games on either of the two nights will try out on the other night, Miss Hasty said.
Formerly, the Quack Club has worked on water carnivals and water ballet; but owing to the difficulty in getting the pool they plan to study life saving and instruction, classifications for minor and major Quack membership, and perfection of strokes this year.
Homecoming Committee To Make Friday's Plans
The committee in charge of the Friday evening activities for homecoming will meet in the Alumni office at 4:30 today, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, announced this morning.
Members of the committee are Ruth Krehbiel, president; Dr. F. C. Allen, George Hedrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Russell L. Wiley, band director; Fray Jones, Don Ireland and Reed Whetstone.

Southwest Pacific trailed the airfields on New Guinea, pounded Kieta and Vuka.
In Italy the American fifth army penetrated German defense lines at several points in new assaults along the upper reaches of the Volturno river. The British eighth army was said to have completely isolated the Nazi operational base at Agnone.
Furious counter assaults were unleashed by the German high command in effort to halt the Allied drive but the Anglo-American forces pressed ahead despite the added handicap of extremely bad weather. Russian troops also drove forward, fanning out from Kiev to come within 32 miles of the Korosten-Vhtomir railway, last important north-south rail line east of the Polish border. The Red army siezed Ivankov and also captured Grebenki.
POST-WAR---

(continued from page one) not animals, he explained. If they are half starving, they cannot be expected to think humantarianly when questions arise.
"Democracy is like a flower that must have favorable soil to prosper. Will it survive here," he questioned. "Economic prerequisites were not in China, India, and some parts of central Europe along with pre-war France," he pointed out, "so democracy could not live."
Frontiers No Longer an Escape
In the United States it is different, he said. Until the 1890's we have had the frontier where men could settle if they became dissatisfied with their present locations. Mr. Krueger explained that at that time no thought was given of Washington. Men were practical and let public affairs manage themselves. But today we are in a new period where, according to Mr. Krueger, "The Welfare of man depends on his ability to master the affairs of the government. This leads to the mass unemployment problem and the solution of distribution of income."
This is a period of science over education according to most people, when every question of importance can be answered by a slide rule," he said. "But this is not right, for we must not be practical or we will sell out the future for the present. If we expect a post war democracy, it is time we say and do things that don't add up by the slide rule. We need a code of social morality operated through a body of an economic and political system as we have a code of personal morality in the family," he declared. "If a conclusion is not drawn within the next four years, it will be too late," he warned. "It will take moral courage, and the common man must have it, to solve every moral stupidity we have developed in the past if we expect to have a post war democracy."
