UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1942
Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
It's Friday, and the day for forecasting. Here's hoping we do better this week than we did last. We'll take Alabama over Vanderbilt, Baylor over SMU in a close one, Boston College over Boston U., Stanford to defeat California, Davidson over Citadel, Colorado State to beat Brigham Young, Dartmouth to top Columbia, Tulsa to trounce Creighton, Missouri over Fordham, Ft. Hays over Kansas Wesleyan, Georgetown to beat George Washington, Georgia Tech to win from Florida, Holy Cross over Manhattan, Great Lakes to take a thriller from Illinois, Iowa Cadets to crush Nebraska, Iowa State to down Kansas State, Lafayette to beat Lehigh, South Carolina over Miami, Michigan State over West Virginia, Notre Dame to whip Northwestern, Michigan to beat Ohio State, Oklahoma Aggies over Drake, and Oregon State to topple Oregon.

Penn State to get past Pittsburgh, Army over Princeton, Indiana to run over Purdue, TCU over Rice, Syracuse over Rutgers, Oklahoma over Temple, UCLA to beat Washington, Wyoming to down Utah State, North Carolina over Virginia, Washington over Missouri Mines, Western Reserve over Ohio Wesleyan, North Carolina Cadets to lose to William and Mary. Minnesota over Wisconsin, Yale over Harvard, and Idaho over Portland. This week's gridiron offering is the smallest of the season, with some squads already having ended their seasons. Still others—like the Jayhawkers—are resting up for their Thanksgiving day tussels. There are scheduled to be some good games on Turkey Day this year, so the football fan on his day off from school, if he desires, can take them in on his radio.

The Football News carried an interesting feature this week—a three-deep, all-time, all-American football team, picked by Stan Carlson. Only Big Six man to be named was Ed Weir, Nebraska tackle of 1925. Honorable mention went to Link Lyman, still another Nebraska tackle. Back-field choices were at quarterback: Walter Eckersall, Harold Grange, Illinois; David O'Brien, Texas Christian—halfbacks: Chris Cagle, Army; Willie Heston, Michigan; Jim Thorpe, Carlisle; Jay Berwanger, Chicago; George Gipp, Notre Dame; Bobby Grayson, Stanford—full-backs: Edward Coy, Yale; John Kimbrough, Texas A&M; Ernie Nevers, Stanford. Biggest surprise to this writer was the failure of any of the famed Four Horsemen, or Yale's Alain Booth to be named.

Did you notice where our Ray Evans is still tops among the nation's passers. The boy has now hit 83 passes for a total of 881 yards gained through the air. His closest rival for number of completions is Columbia's Paul Governali, who has connected with 76 tosses. Governali holds a lead in the yards gained by passing department, with 1,218 yards. Frank Sinkwich also leads Evans in that department, having massed 1,123 yards. Sinkwich is far ahead in total yardage gained both on the ground and in the air, and is followed by Governali, Dutton, Steuber, and Mobley in that order. In fifth place is Evans, who in addition to his passing prowess has run up 234 yards on the ground, for a total of 1,115 yards. We can't see how those Eastern scribes can ignore him so easily when they pass out the national honors.

At random: That fine satirical feature story on compulsory physical education for faculty members which appeared on Tuesday's editorial page was done by Cliff Blair, College sophomore who can really write . . . Intramural managers are urged to get their ballots in at once to the intramural office if they wish to vote in the Daily Kansan all-intramural squad selection . . . Jeff Davis and Ervin Pitts, Missouri grid stars, both hail from Coffeyville in this state . . . Several readers have pointed out to this writer that Bob Dove, who was placed at a guard position by this writer on his all-American selections, is in reality an end . . . However, he did see action in two games at guard, and competition at that position is much less severe . . . Robinson gym seems awfully dead with the colorful "Phog" Allen in Lincoln.
Tennis Meet Into Finals Tomorrow
The university's woman's intramural tennis championship will be at stella tomorrow morning when Cordellia Murphy, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Peggy Davis. Kappa Alpha Theta, meet on the stadium courts for the last match of the women's intramural tournament. Unless the weather is prohibitive the match will be played at 10:30.
Davis, defending champion, and Murphy, both slated before the tournament opened to see action in the final brackets, have advanced to championship competition dropping only a minimum number of games. In the semi-finals played last week Davis defeated Esther DeBord, Watkins hall, and Murphy defeated Mary Morrill, also of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Touch Football Contest Will Be Played Sunday
The postponed touch football game between Hopkins Hall and the Naval Training Station will be played at 10:30 Sunday morning at Memorial Stadium, it has been announced. There will be no admission charge for this first contest between the sailors and University men.
On the Hopkins starting lineup will be such men as Bernard Passman, varsity end; Bob Pierce and Forrest Meyer, members of the freshman football team; Delmar Green, ace of the Blanks intramural squad; and Phil Dynan, Maurice Beringer, Tom Manion, John LoPinto, Albert Sbordone, and other Hopkins intramural squad members.
Jack Ross will head the navy squad. Almost every member of the Hoppers is a member of the army reserve or army air corps reserve, so the game will have an Army-Navy tinge.

Cagers Will Take Train Rationing a Problem
Gasoline rationing, the nemesis of traveling, is the sore thumb of athletic teams all over the nation.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen has solved the transportation problem for the basketball team of the University of Kansas by making arrangements with railroads to transport the basketball players.
The Jayhawkers will travel in chair cars on all trips. The trip to New York, always before made in pullmans, will be made in chair cars. The squad will spend one night in Chicago and another night in either Detroit or Buffalo before they reach New York City where they will play Fordham University in Madison Square Garden.
Will Leave Early
In order to play the Big Six games the team will leave a day earlier and spend a night in the opponent's city before the game. Dr. Allen does not like to take the players away from their school work this extra day, but under the circumstances this plan is the only possible one, it was explained.
High schools over the state are having difficulties in arranging transportation to their games. One plan that is very popular calls for the staggering c. the use of cars. A group of cars will remain idle and the gas they save will be used to transport the players. The cars that carried the players then will have to remain idle in order to pay back the gasoline debt.
Officials A Problem
The problem of transporting officials to the games has not been solved. This is probably the biggest problem the high schools have.
Mr. E. A. Thomas, editor of the Kansas High School Activities Journal, says: "The need for a reasonable supply of gasoline and tires in order to keep the competitive athletic program going is apparent, but owing to the maze of red tape and the great American game of "passing the buck" which is being played

Nebraska Meets Iowa Seahawks
Big Six schools this weekend take on an ambitious schedule, with Nebraska drawing the toughest assignment as they face the powerful Iowa Seahawks at Iowa City in the Cadets' only home game of the year.
Bernie Bierman, Cadet coach, has expressed apprehension concerning the game, since his squad has been virtually depleted of its once-powerful reserves by recent graduation. Glenn Pressnell, Nebraska coach, has indicated he will start a backfield composed of several newcomers — Eisenhart, Long, Grubaugh, and Hopp. Evashevski, Fisher, Langhurst, and Jankowski are scheduled to start for the Seahawks.
Between halves a brilliant martial pageant has been planned. The entire regiment of aviation cadets at the Pre-Flight School, and its band and ship's company will perform.
Kansas State will send eleven men out on the field at their Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon to meet the Iowa State Cyclones, but nobody knows why. The Wildcats are expected to suffer their fifth straight conference mauling.
Zeleznak Hurt
The Aggies will be without the services of Mike Zeleznak for the game, but Iowa State's Lohry and Darling will be very much present. (continued to page five)
