UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1943
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Everybody out Denver way, even the parlay card man, doesn't for some reason figure that their local boys—the green but tricky Pioneers—even have a look in against our Kansas Jayhawkers in their battle tonight. If you like the Jayhawks, the little fellow with the pasteboards wants you to give him six points. The funny thing of it is that all Denver felt the same way last year only to see the Pioneers hand the Jayhawks a 17 to 0 shellacking.

This is one game in which the home team should have a distinct advantage. Why? Just suddenly find yourself running and puffing a mile above sea level after knowing nothing but the Kansas prairies and see if you don't agree with me. The Jayhawkers will have only a few hours to get acclimated to the high elevation, but that should be enough, we think.

With the loss yesterday of half-back Jack Adams to the U.S. coast guard, three of the four backfield men who started last week's game for Denver University are gone and the fourth, Fullback Johnny Adams, is favoring a bruised instep, so Pioneer Coach Mark Duncan has had to whip up an entirely new back-field to throw at the Jayhawks.
Denver will use the same "T" formation that worked so well for them against the Jayhawks last year. In practice sessions this week Coach Henry Shenk had the ineligibles try out the "T" against the first team. Naturally, the "outlaws" could not, in only a couple night's practice, present a very smooth-functioning "T" and hence could not reel off any very good gains. However, the ineligible boys did perform well on the defense and held the first team in check most of the time. The Jayhawker coaching staff has worked up a "crazy," as they call it, sort of defensive formation to take care of the razzle-dazzle boys from Denver. However, they are still dubious as to whether the Jayhawks yet have that needed scoring punch on the offensive.
Pfc. Harry Evans, line coach of the Fort Riley team which the Jayhawks will meet near the end of the season, still is wondering about the
last play of his team's 19 to 20 defeat at Great Lakes. Great Lakes had the ball on its own 32-yard line and Steve Juzwik was chased back toward his own goal by several Centaurs. During the hot pursuit, the final gun sounded. Thereupon, according to Evans, Juzwik stopped on his own 5-yard line and handed the ball to a Centaur who stepped over the goal. The referee disallowed the Riley score, saying his whistle had blown. But the Centauras heard no whistle, according to Harry, and they did not have Juzwik within their grasp—he definitely was not down. Yes, many who saw the game are saying the same thing so maybe Fort Rily was another one of these teams that "got gyped."

Tournaments
Under Way
Except for the V-12 tournament, there are no intramural programs on the Hill. Both the army and the V-5 have their own recreational programs, the army taking their games in their regularly scheduled physical education classes. No plans for civilian intramurals have been made.

In yesterday's contest, PT4 poned out PT8, 39 to 37, after leading throughout, and holding, at one time, a 33 to 19 advantage. Sparked by Homer Sherwod and Lewis Goering who hit 19 and 12 points, respectively, PT4 staved off a last minute rally to win and move into third place. Star of the losers was Charley Crandell, intramural star for Batten-fall hall last year, who connected for 14 points. The B team of PT8 downed PT4's B in the other game, 31 to 19. Godfrey took scoring honors for the winners with four field goals and a charity toss.
Although fall arrived just a week ago, the V-12 intramural basketball tournament is well under way, the third week of competition to be completed today. Only two teams, PT's 1 and 2, Chief Brummer's two houses, remain unbeaten; PT4 rests in third place with PT3 in fourth; PT5's 6, 7, and 8 bracketed in fifth, and PT5 in the cellar with three losses.

An old fossil, contrary to the general college belief, is not your trigonometry or your physiology instructor, but an organic body which, by burial in the earth's strata, has become petrified. Fossils, like the cadavers on which medical students carve, are dug from the earth, and are objects of extreme interest.
Curators Find Fossil In Kansas
E. S. Riggs, honorary curator of the Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Claude Hibbard, Dyche curator, have recently returned from a successful fossil hunt in western Kansas. This hunt has become an annual affair, with this year's trip being Dr. Hibbard's seventh excursion into that section of the state.
By PAT PENNEY
The expedition, which lasted 15 days, was conducted near Garden City and Meade. Dr. Hibbard and Mr. Riggs were accompanied by Henry Fierner of the University and were joined in the trip by Dr. T. G. McLaughin of the geological survey, who was working in that area.
The expedition discovered fossils of some extinct animals and some not yet extinct. Most of the uncovered masses of bones were of prehistoric animals that existed in Kansas before the Ice Age. The largest fossil brought back was a
Mr. Riggs, former curator of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, stated that this tusk is one of the largest he has seen in 50 years' experience. The trip, much shorter than previous ones, was made in the early part of September, and yielded fossils of horses, bison, mammoths, mastodons, and camels. In previous years, rhinoceros bones have been discovered in the marshes of Kansas.
