TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
On the "Exploring Your University" series over station KFKU last night the Kansas football coaching staff of Henry Shenk, Elmer Schaake, and Dean Nesmith were interviewed by Ernie Pontius of the Lawrence Journal World.
After discussing the playing and coaching records of these three former Jayhawk athletes, Pontius asked Shenk and Schaake their opinion of the improvement the 1943 Jayhawk edition had made since the start of the season. Both stated that the punting most of all had improved and likewise the blocking, which still, however, had much more room for improvement. The passing had improved and the boys were running harder, the coaches exclaimed, but we still are far from satisfied.
Elmer "Dutch" Schaake was ribbed by the others about the way he gets "het up" over games. Nesmith told how his shoulders were sore from Schaake's pounding after Kansas won their first game last Saturday. Shenk also added that Elmer got so excited one spot in the Denver game that he whirled around and hit him in the nose. Pontius had just been wondering whether Schaake still had the old "jumping jitters" he used to have when he roamed the sidelines as coach of the Lawrence High gridders.
The Kansas Squad
Shenk stated that the size of the squad had fluctuated during the season and that now 68 were regularly going out. In this group were 32 V-12 boys, 18 V-5's, and 18 civilians. Nearly half of the V-12's, however, were ineligible until November 1 because of the Navy freshman rule, Shenk added. Thirteen states are represented on our squad, he continued, with 32 from Kansas, nine from California, four from Washington, three from Missouri, and either one or two from Florida, Montana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Wyoming, Louisiana, Nebraska, and New York.

New Players November 1!
Shenk stated that two or three V-12 freshmen would step into front line jobs when they became eligible in three weeks with the Oklahoma game their first competition. Two Washington boys, Robert George, a back, and Joe Kelleher, an end, both will be used as will Joe Dickey, nephew of the Yankee great, who is a halfback from Kansas City Southwest. Shenk commented that there is always the chance that a good footballer might slip this way in the next group of V-5 cadets coming next month.

Beat Nebraska!
Nebraska games of by gone days were brought back to light in the radio discussion and it was the mind of all that this was the year to break the ice after all these 26 years of defeat. The word around the dressing room last night was "Beat Nebraska" and the boys mean it in earnest. Even Junius Penny reported an hour and a half early for practice for as he stated when questioned about his behavior, "The Nebraska game is this week—didn't you know?"
Last Night's Practice
After punting and passing drill, Coach Shenk took the players that participated in last Saturday's game over to the dummy for tackling practice, while Elmer Schaake and Dean Nesmith divided the subs up for a scrimmage game in the stadium. Taking only what remained after Schaake had picked his team from the scrubs, Nesmith fielded a team that gave Schaake's eleven quite a tussle.

Sevens, Fours Win; Fours, Ones Lead
Taking advantage of two breaks that came its way, PT7 defeated PT1 last night, 14 to 0 in the V-12 football league. The first score came on the last play of the first half when a PTI player backed into Gordon's punt in the end zone and Ketterman of PT7 recovered the blocked ball. Woollcott place-kicked the extra point.
Midway through the second half, Mason, PT7 halfback, intercepted Corder's pass just behind the mid-field stripe and raced to the 10-yard marker before lateraling to Itzen who carried it over. Woollott passed to Woolf to complete the scoring. Outstanding men in the

Farm Leaders Split On Subsidy Measure
Washington (INS)—A White House conference on agricultural subsidies ended today in sharp disagreement among farm leaders following their meeting with President Roosevelt and his economic advisers.
James G. Patton, president of the national farms union, clashed with representatives of three other farm groups. As leader of the pro-subsisyid block, Patton charged that the trio formed "an unholy coalition of spokesmen for big agriculture, processors, distributors, and the US Chamber of Commerce" to nullify the Economic Stabilization Act.
Representatives of the three farm groups heatedly denounced Patton's charges.
