Oklahoma Manages to Win 26-13, But at Expense of Mauled Team
Swept off their feet by a three- touchdown first half blitz by the Oklahoma Sooners, the Kansas Jayhawks came back in the last half in Saturday's game at Norman to drive across two touchdowns while barely missing two more, as the Oklahomaans finally came out on top, 26 to 13.
Six thousand homecomers viewed this Big Six duel which saw the Sooners keep their slate clean, all ready to take on the Missouri Tigers in their crucial Big Six Championship game at Columbia next Saturday.
The Jayhawks will play host to the Warrensburg Teachers here next Saturday afternoon. In a game Friday night at Topeka, Warrensburg and Washburn battled to a 0-0 dead-lock.
The Jayhawks were very rough on the Oklahoma lads as eight of the Sooner's starting lineup had to be taken out because of injuries. However, only wingback Charles Heard, Tackle Lee Kennon, and center Bob Mayfield may be lost for next Saturday's game as the others were not hurt very seriously.

The Jayhawks out-first downne their southern enemies 13 to 9, and had a great supremacy through the air, with 234 yards gained passing to the Sooners' 48. It was the Oklahoma rushing attack, however, that brought Kansas' downfall, the Sooners gaining 216 yards on the ground to the Kansas 45.
With a "40-mile gale" to their backs, Oklahoma drove across two touchdowns in the first quarter, marching to touchdowns the first two times they got their hands on the ball. Derald Lebow punched across the goal from the 6 yard line after only three minutes of play. Brumley missed the conversion. Less than two minutes later, Lebow uncorked a forward to Omer Burgert, sophomore end, for 41 yards and a touchdown. Protected by good blocking, Burgert sprinted down the left sidelines. Brumley place-kicked the point.
Score Threatened in Second
Coming into benefit of the wind, Kansas fought back cooly and twice threatened to score. With Bob George on the throwing end, the Jayhawks moved through the air all the way to the Sooner 6 yard line where Brumley intercepted George's pass to cut short the Kansas threat.

Oklahoma counted a third touchdown in the second quarter with a magnificent 83-yard rushing offensive square into the fierce north wind. Running off Coach "Snorter" Luster's tricky "A" formation, the Oklahoma's scored when Brumley, from the Kansas 40, hid the ball on his hip and after sneaking around the end, streaked to a touchdown.
Only Robert George was left in his path, and the elusive Brumley faked around him with a hip swing and sidestep. Brumley converted.
Kansas Dominates Second Half
The Jayhawks dominated play in the last half, gradually coming into control with aggressive line play in which their reserves wore down the Sooner subs who replaced the

Rail Strike Looms Despite Wage Offer
Washington, (INS)—The threat of a war-crippling nationwide railroad strike grew more ominous today despite approval by Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson of a new schedule of wage increases.
Shortly after Vinson announced that he had approved a sliding scale of wages for 1,100,000, non-operating workers. Bert M. Jewell, chairman of the wage negotiations for 15 railroad unions, declared emphatically that such a plan actually settled nothing.
The government thru a presidential board set up to handle the new wage negotiations had offered a four to 10 cent sliding scale increase. But, said Jewell, this would not settle our difficulties at all.
Vinson's approval came at a time when the non-operating union had decided to conduct a strike vote in an effort to enforce their demand for a flat 20 cent a day boost all along the line.
Kansas scored six minutes after the last half began on a 57-yard drive. George crashed over from the Sooner ten. John Bergin missed the extra point.

Then the Jayhawk aerial show boomeranged as Burgert of Oklahoma intercepted another Kansas pass by Bergin and dashed 39 yards to a touchdown. However, only 50 seconds later the Crimson and Blue struck again as George pegged a pass to Bergin deep in the Sooner secondary. The former Washington State star outran all pursuers in his 60 yard dash to the goal. George drop kicked the extra point.

Victory Speakers Program to Continue
The Victory Speakers program will be continued this year. Prof. E. C. Buehler, of the department of speech and drama, has announced. A meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Green hall to make plans for choosing materials and setting up the personnel for this year's program. Professor Buehler said anyone interested in participating in the Victory Speakers program should contact him early this week.
"The Victory Speakers program is designed primarily to present interesting, worthwhile information to the public, that has some bearing on the war effort," Professor Buehler explained.
Victory Speaker teams, composed of three student speakers accompanied by a faculty member, give programs for civic clubs, high schools, churches, and off-campus organizations. The purpose is to speak objectively on current issues rather than to discuss or argue controversies.
Some topics being considered for speeches are lend-lease and how it work, new geography, medicine on the battlefront, customs and traditions of the navy, the miracle of Russia, how tanks are made, and postwar world cooperation.
Last year's program was a complete success, he said. Eighteen speakers presented a total of 66 programs. Letters received by Professor Buehler from high school principals and organization leaders express appreciation of the programs given last year and indicate interest in victory speeches for this year.
Snow, Cold Herald Coming of Winter
The 24 degree temperature this morning and the first snow this year was the first evidence of the season that winter is on its way. Students shivered and slid as they walked to school when camouflaged ice on the sidewalks made walking hazardous.
The blustery snow throughout the day was more than a novelty to some of the navy trainees on the campus; it was a new experience, especially for those from California where the only snow they had ever seen was upon a distant mountain.
Those students lucky enough to have a ride to school had their difficulties, too. Cars skidded in an effort to reach the tops of the hills leading to the University. Many drivers were forced to back down the hill and walk up with the rest of the crowd.

Germans Fire Gaet
Dispatches from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters meanwhile disclosed that the Germans had put the torch to the port of Gaeta on the Tyrrenian Sea. Obviously anticipating the loss of this key point between Naples and Rome the Germans touched off demolition charges and set huge fires in an effort to render the harbor useless to the Allies.

Russians 40 Miles Past Kiev
On the Adriatic end of the battle line, Allied forces reached points within five miles of the Nazi Sangro river defenses.
On the Russian front the Germans continued to be beaten back steadily, suffering enormous casualties. Latest reports from Moscow said the Soviets had advanced 40 miles beyond liberated Kiev. With the Russians beating their way steadily toward the old Rumanian frontier, serious disorders were reported in Rumania, where the population fears serious reprisals from Soviet forces because of aid given to the Nazi cause.
Additional details were awaited from General Douglas MacArthur on the latest attacks by Allied airmen on two Japanese cruisers and 11 smaller vessels, believed part of the huge threat the enemy is bringing down from Truk in a desperate effort to save the great base of Rabaul on New Britain from being overwhelmed.
