Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
Even in defeat the Jayhawks' Ray Evans made a great impression upon Iowa State football fans and writers. Said the Iowa State Daily Student columnist: "Cyclone fans saw a great player in Ray Evans Saturday, but he starred in a different light than was expected. Evans has the best percentage of pass completions in the country, but it was his running that impressed the Cyclones. His sweeps on the end of laterals from fullback Linquist gave Harville and Ryan a trying afternoon at the end posts . . . Next to Missouri's Bob Steuber, he's the fastest Big Six back we've seen in action this year." Evans connected with eight out of 14 passes, but gained a net of only 12 yards. His feat of catching one of his own passes also attracted considerable attention.

There seems to be considerable sentiment for Bill Hargiss on the Campus as the next football coach, if the gridiron sport is played next fall at this University. However, Mike Getto and Ed Ellis also have their supporters. So do those who hold that Gwinn Henry has not as yet had a real opportunity to display his ability to handle gridiron talent. He has been handicapped here by the lack of capable material. This is true to a degree, but under the present setup it is beginning to seem unlikely that capable material will ever really be attracted here. Men like Penny and Evans are too few and far between. Eleven or twelve good men must each fall carry the entire burden. Perhaps a more colorful coaching staff would go a long way toward attracting high school talent here. Hargiss and "Phog" Allen certainly fall under this description.
Who was the finest back to perform with a visiting team at Memorial Stadium this fall. This writer will take Bill Schwatzer, the Seahawk ace who was just plain unstoppable. However, there were several others who turned in brilliant performances. For instance, how about Huel Hamm, the Oklahoma big boy who fairly tore the Kansas line to shreds in the second half. Then there were the Marquette sophomores, John Stryzkalski and "Rusty" Johnson. Nebraska had its plunging Eisenhart, and other Seahawk aces included Fisher, Langhurst and Evashevski Tevis of Washington was no slouch. For the top line performance, we will give our nod to Al Klug, Marquette great, who really turned in a whale of a performance here. Vie Schleich of Nebraska, and Bud Svendson of the Seahawks were not far behind him.

At random: Ray Evans adds another success to his record with his coronation at Pep King . . . The loss of Grier Zimmerman, sophomore guard who withdrew from school, was a severe loss to the 1943 Jay-hawk squad if the grid game is played next fall at this school . . .
This boy Hornick, former Carnegie Tech star, who played with the Navy squad against Hopkins Hall, was plenty fast . . . Perhaps the Navy boys will arrange other games with Hill teams, although it is late in the season . . . Iowa State has a large court squash this year, but a green one . . . Opinion of downtown Lawrence business men, with whom this writer talked, seems to be that there is definitely no chance for collegiate football next fall . . . Hats off to a fighting Kansas State team which astonished this writer, and many another by its upset victory over Iowa State.

Oklahoma Meets Southern Team
Norman, Okla., Nov. 24 - The attractive Oklahoma-William and Mary football game here December 5 is sharing interest with a statewide football war bond buying contest.
The person or organization in Oklahoma who buys the biggest war bond from November 23 to midnight November 30 will be presented between halves of the Sooner-William and Mary game with the ball actually booted in the opening kickoff, autographed by players and coaches of both teams.
This ball will be known as the 50th Anniversary Victory Football. It will be dedicated to Sooner players who would have played this season if they hadn't enlisted in the Nation's armed forces.
In spite of its thrilling feat of tying Missouri here last Saturday, the Oklahoma team will be facing defeat in this game. William and Mary, coached by Carl "Dutch" Voyles, former Oklahoma Aggie player who played in the Aggies' 9-0 upset defeat of the Sooners at Oklahoma City back in 1917, first Aggie victory of all time against a Sooner team, hasn't been beaten yet this season.
Voyles' Indians were tied 7-7 by Harvard, but licked Navy 3-0 and annihilated Dartmouth 35-13 besides trimming teams in its own sector by large scores. Already, William and Mary is being mentioned as a bowl possibility.
Large Number of Entries In Table Tennis Tourney
More than 125 women representing fifteen organizations have entered the singles table tennis tournament on the intramural program for the first winter term. Drawings have been made and posted in the east side of Robinson.
Miss Ruth Hoover of the department of physical education, has asked that all games in the first round be played before Nov. 30. The winner in each round must defeat her opponent in three out of five 21-point games.
Basketball Team Will Practice On Thanksgiving Day
No. 6 — Basketball team yill practice Thanksgiving is just another day for the basketball squad. They will practice Thursday afternoon, and listen to the Kansas-Missouri game over the radio at the same time. Practices are also scheduled for the rest of the week according to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach.
The squad must practice any time the courts are not in use, the coach pointed out. Physical conditioning classes and the Navy utilize the floors in scrimmage during practically the entire twenty-four hours on school days.
Due also to this shortage of space the intramural basketball games will be scheduled late in the evening if they will be held at all, said Dr. Allen.
Two days have been added to the Christmas vacation at Louisiana State University to relieve the weekend pressure on transportation facilities. The vacation now extends from 12:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 18 to 8:30 a.m., Tuesday, Dec. 29.
