TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1943
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansas Sports Editor
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
This column, along with the report of the game, yesterday represented the average coverage of a grid encounter. "So what," you ask Well, just this: As happens very often, our game coverage and comment was devoid of any mention whatsoever of those forgetter heroes, the linemen. So we will now give credit where credit is due Veterans Junius Penny and George Dick came through with as fine performances as any players on the field and surely deserve commendation, especially on their stellar defensive work. The line play of Guards Dreher, Chase, and Bush was also acceptable and deserves praise, for the Crimson and Blue forward wall, though weak in blocking at times on the offense was always potent and nearly unpenetrable on the defense. Chase performed very well at center, playing nearly all of the game. Frank Gruden came through with his expected "rugged job" at a tackle while Ends Riegle, Stucker, and Young all were anything but disappointing. Young, a freshman of Dodge City's undefeated high team last year, especially should receive attention for his defensive play at the end spot. For Washburn Reid who started to attend school her last summer, and Herron, guard seemed to come up with the most tackles and were always giving Jayhawk backs a lot of trouble.
****
Coaches Shenk and Schaake help special kicking practice last night in order to find someone who might be able to come through with an acceptable job of booting. Miller, who was in sad form Friday night when he averaged only 28 yards a kick, showed some improvement last night as he got off a few good kicks. Weatherby and Moffett also got in some good boots.

The Denver Team Surprises
Expecting little or nothing from the youthful Pioneers, Denver fans were given a pleasant surprise last Friday night when Denver U. came through with a 26 to 7 victory over Colorado Mines. The Pioneers rang up the surprising total of 309 yards gained—208 of it from scrimmage—as against 93 for the Mines. As Jack Carberry, Denver Post Sports editor said: "The Pioneers looked good, better by far than their brothers of 1942 in their opener against practically the same Miners." And as it will be remembered that the Jayhawks bowed 0 to 17 to the Pioneers of Denver last year, just how do things size up for this week's game?

Denver Loses Three, We Lose Barrington
Three of the top men for D. U. were lost to the navy during the week so that won't hurt matters any for us. However, Jayhawker Don Barrington has joined the "outlaws" and will not be eligible for the Denver game, so that about evens things up.
Counselor Shortage at Cal.
A shortage of men counselors for freshmen at California University is reported.

Machinists' Mates Eat Watermelon
Nearly two and a half tons of Kaw Valley watermelons were consumed by trainees at the school for machinists' mates Monday afternoon in the area behind Strong Hall, in a watermelon feed provided by the Navy's welfare fund. Allocation of these funds, which are raised from canteen profits, is made for the welfare of the men and the commanding officer may determine the cause for which the money can be spent.
The melons were purchased from a farmer near Lawrence, and placed in cold storage until time for the feed. Knives were supplied by the Union Building and the carving done by the ship's company.
Bids on the melons were received by the navy and the purchase made from the grower making the most attractive bid.
A total of 170 melons weighing an average of 28 pounds were supplied the hungry machinists' mates and their officers.
School of Business
Olen Roark, assistant professor of business law has resigned his position to assist his father in ranching operations in Scott county, Kan.
Leslie Waters, associate professor of economics, has returned to the University after a year's leave of absence during which he was employed at research work by the Sante Fe railroad.

Bring on Your Cobs
Corn cobs are badly needed by the navy, but the mariners explain that the cobs are ground for cleaning engines of carbon. They replace more costly materials.

AN IRISH SAILOR----
It was not baby cry that this giant of a man indulged in. He roared as he wept, interpolating into his bawling a lot of disconnected complaints against Providence. He finished sobbing loudly, and crying to the buzzing locusts, "I wisth I was in hell!"
(continued from page three)
never had learned to read and write,
and he never was able to understand
this new world. Transplanted 2,000
miles from the sea on a windswep
prairie farm, he was more puzzled
than ever, and his helplessness he
roared and cursed and howled.
The whirlwind was a mere annoyance, but, coming at the end of the hot day and in a time of depressed spirits, it upset the big Irishman's equilibrium. He sat down upon the hot ground and burst into loud and turbulent weeping.
The Driscolls had little money to spend and whenever it was necessary to make an outlay the Old Man would explode.
When we boys needed shoes, dad would cry out, "For the love of God, Woman, more shoes is it?
"Sure, 'tis only the other day that I brought home a pair of shoes from Tom Lynch's store for each of them. All right if you say 'tis three months, there lave it. Three months, in the name of God! Sorra the day! Sure, God knows that knows me heart, I have a pair of boots in there that has lasted me these 30 years! And as good as new they are today. Oh, oh, oh, oh! So I must be bringing home more shoes, to kape the doother away."
After such a demonstration, he would rush out, hitch up a team and make for Wichita. When he returned, there would be shoes, and, in all likelihood, a 5c bag of hard candy.
It's a candid realistic story, this saga of the Driscolls. There is humor in it, as well as pathos. The ridiculous intrudes even in some of the most tragic scenes. It has the suspense, swift action and dramatic climax of fiction, and makes excellent reading for a hot summer day.
