From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
A note to ye ed yesterday takes us apart for having used the head, "Jays Are Held To Scoreless Tie," stating that the Junction City High Schoolers are sometimes called Jays and that the Creighton Blue Jays are often called just plain Jays for short, but as for Kansas, exclaims our friend quite exasperated, "they have never been Jays in the past, they are not now Jays, and we hope never will be—but are, JAY-HAWKS." As a good excuse is better than none, we thought that since it has been used in Kansan sports reports last year that it would be all right to use it now since the word, "Jayhawks," is pretty long to use in a five column spread and still get anything said. So we apologize if we have offended you and promise to do our best not to make that error again.

Write In!
Incidentally, if you disagree with us on something, have some red hot sports story you would like to contribute, or perhaps if you would like to write this column yourself some time, just write in care of the Kansas Sports Editor. Yes, if you think we are writing up Joe Jones, the halfback, too much and have been doing grave injustice to Sam Smith, do write and tell us about it!

Pioneer Patter
The game Friday night between the Jayhawks and the Denver U. Pioneers will mark the third time that these two teams have taken the field against each other . . . Both clubs have each won one game so this week's duel will break the tie . . . In 1932 Kansas won 13 to 12 and last year the Pioneers upset the KU boys 17 to 0 . . . Head Coach Mark Duncan of the Rocky Mountain school coaches a razzle-dazzle type of game, running off the tricky "T" formation with a man in motion or the alternate spread shift designed to keep opponents guessing . . . Four boys from the Sunflower state, three from Lyons and one from Sterling, are on the Denver roster . . . Jack Carberry states that if Denver's 100 per cent civilian team whips Kansas' trainee loaded eleven it will be one of the major upsets of the country . . .
Where does he get that, we wonder . . . The Pioneers got a sock on the chin during the week when the navy called three of its top players Harold Hand, Chet Latchem, and Homer Frederic, a center . . . The former two, first string backs, will be sorely missed . . . Star of the Denver team is Johnny Adams, powerful fullback . . . Denver's team is built mostly of freshmen since they have no navy trainees . . . The Pioneers will play none of the former Big Seven teams because of a ban declared against them by the conference . . . The other schools have boycotted Denver because of her withdrawal from the conference, forcing them to play an independent schedule with Army teams, a few non-conference Colorado teams, and several from the Midwest.
