Pressbox Ramblings
By PAUL BROWNLEE, GUEST COLUMNIST
Intramural football playoffs take over the spotlight this week. Many good games are on tap with winners as easy to pick as flowers on Mount Oread in December. In the eleven-man race, we like the Beta's. With John Short and Bill Mowery on the firing line, the Beta's have a duo that compares favorably with anything seen in the intramurals in recent years. The Phi Psi's will probably give them the most trouble, with a victory for any of the contenders not to be classed as an upset. A flip of the coin predicts the Blanks will cop the six-man crown. Delmar Green's outfit is due for a victory this year, after losing a thriller in the first round last year. Frank "Whitey" Stannard is our choice for the intramural star of the year. You can't count out Battenfeld hall or Delta Chi—much less the Kappa Eta Kappa team.

At random: To Gene Roberts goes the guts trophy for attempting to play at Iowa State Saturday, although he knew that a hard tackle would put the finishing touches to his football for this year—and perhaps years to come. Roberts was carried off the field after a vicious tackle reinjured his bad knee on his first play. . . A posie to Coach Wayne Replogle for the fine work he has done with this year's star-studded freshman squad.
. . Clint Frank, former Yale all-American, is an aide to Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle in North Africa. . . Because of poor vision Frank was eliminated from combat flying . . . In college he was so nearsighted that he often ran into (and over) opposing tacklers . . . PM's Tom O'Reilly complains about the horse racing game . . . Why do top horses avoid meeting one another he queries? . . . How we'd like to be in Atlanta when Georgia Tech crashes into Georgia.
Tulsa, the team of the Midwest, ranks sixth in the AP's nation-wide poll . . . Officials expect 50,000 to see the Sugar Bowl game New Years. And, by the way, everything points to this game as the game of the year, with Boston College, boasting the strongest line in the nation, probably furnishing one-half of the fireworks . . . West Virginia was good for nine yards through this line last Saturday . . . Does anyone have a ticket to the Ohio State-Michigan natural in Columbus Saturday? . . . Don't be afraid to go because you are ill at ease in a small crowd. You will probably have 80,000 to mingle with . . . There will be no more traveling for the Phillips "66" basketball squad. Only home games will be played . . . Two of its stars, Coach Chuck Hyatt and Angelo "Hank" Luisetti, former Stanford flash, are in the service.

Jayhawk fans should utter a prayer of thanks to the schedule committee for the open date this weekend. With the annual classic coming up with Missouri Thanksgiving day, the Jayhawk squad can use all the rest it can get. Returning from the Iowa State encounter with all backs but Ed Linquist injured, the squad is in no shape for a tussle this weekend. Missouri travels to New York to meet Fordham, rival in last year's Sugar Bowl game, in the best shape the Tigers have been in this season. If no injuries are received in the Fordham game the Tigers will be in good shape for the Kansas game. Captain Don Reece will be able to take over his fullback duties Saturday for the first time since he was injured in the Great Lakes game October 31.
Oklahoma Sooners Meet Temple Owls
Norman, Okla., Nov 19—Clinching a third place berth in Big Six competition with their surprise 6-6 tie of mighty Missouri before 21,000 Homecoming Day fans, Oklahoma travels to Philadelphia Saturday to engage Coach Ray Morrison's Temple Owls.
Temple's outstanding feat this season was a 7-7 tie with Michigan State at the Owl stadium. Temple also played a 6-6 tie with Southern Methodist, and a 7-7 draw with Bucknell and lost to Georgetown 0-7, North Carolina Pre-Flight 0-34, Boston College 0-23 and Holy Cross 0-13. The Owls defeated V.M.I. 7-6.
The Sooner squad, reduced by war enlistments and injuries to 31 varsity players of which 16, or more than one-half are sophomores, will leave Norman Wednesday and arrive in Philadelphia Friday in time for a workout. After spending Saturday night and Sunday in New York city, the Oklahomans will arrive back home Tuesday afternoon.
Despite their sweeping losses of returning varsity player talent to the armed forces Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster's Sooners have braced after early defenses. Nebraska is the only Big Six team to defeat Oklahoma, putting over a 7-0 triumph here Oct. 24. Oklahoma licked Kansas 25-0.
Iowa State 14-7, Kansas State 76-0 and tied Missouri 6-6.
Frye Represents Kansas At Commerce Hearing
Dr. John Frye, of the State Geological Survey, is representing Kansas in an interstate commerce hearing for the reduction of freight rates in the Middle West, which is being held in Columbus, Ohio, this week.
Dr. Frye will present facts gathered in a survey here a few weeks ago as to the location in Kansas of mineral materials and the stages in processing these minerals in their mining locality or elsewhere.
DON FAUROT-COACH
Don Faurot Closes Seventh Year at MU
Don Faurot, dynamic University of Missouri football mentor, will close his seventh season at that school Thanksgiving Day when his charges clash with the Kansas Jayhawkers at Columbia in a game in which the Tigers are favored to win their second straight Big Six conference title.
Faurot is a graduate of Missouri, having lettered in three sports. At Kirksville Teachers he gained his initial fame as a grid mentor, winning seven championships in nine years in the MIAA conference. His squads there ran up a winning streak of 26 consecutive games.
He succeeded Frank Carideo as the Missouri coach, and prior to this year his teams at Columbia had won 40 games while losing only 19. In the past three seasons, the Tigers have twice played in the Sugar Bowl.
The 40-year old coach is six-feet tall, and weighs 150, just two pounds over his college playing weight. He is the oldest of four brothers—all of whom played at Missouri.

Theta Tau, Fiji's Top Intramural Program
Theta Tau and Phi Gamma Delta lock horns in the top attraction of the intramural football play-offs this afternoon.
Second billing is given to the battle between Kappa Eta Kappa and the Blanks. This should prove to be the six-man thriller of the play-offs.
Games between Delta Chi and Battenfeld, and Sigma Alpha
Games between Delta Chi an Epsilon and Sigma Chi will complete the first round of play.
Phi Kappa Psi and Beta Theta Pi drew byes in the first round.
Marshall Hulett, Phi Gam right end, is expected to turn in a sparkling performance. The Phi Gam's after getting off to a late start are definitely championship caliber now and much of the rise in their stock is due to the play of this lad, Hulett.
The Phi Gams, co-champion along with Sigma Chi in Division III, are favored over Theta Tau, winners of Division II.
Ted Moser, Frank Lichty, and Ronald Pittenger will shoulder the offensive burdens for Theta Tau.
Hulett May Star

Cyclone Fans Hail Jayhawker Defeat
Ames, Iowa. Nov. 18.—The game may have involved a pair of second division teams, but the Iowa State-Kansas contest produced a number of noteworthy performances.
Foremost in the minds of Cyclone fans was the fact that it ended a winless streak in Big Six competition that had stretched back to 1940. That year the Iowa State eleven stopped Kansas, 7 to 0, and Kansas State, 12 to 0. Last week the score read: Iowa State 20, Kansas 13.
