Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The Jayhawks' encouraging showing against Washington seems to justify making them a one-touchdown favorite over the Iowa State Cyclones in their coming tussle at Ames Saturday. The Kansas squad continued its somewhat surprising reversal of form to in its third straight "good" game. For six veteran Jayhawks—and very possibly for the entire team—it was their last game on home soil, and they did themselves proud. Seniors on the squad are Harlan Altman, Bob Githens, Paul Hardman, Grant Hunter, Ed Linquist, Lloyd Svoboda. It was too bad there wasn't a larger crowd present to watch them close their football careers here in a triumph, but when they play their last college game November 26 at Columbia against Missouri you can safely bet there will be plenty of fans in the stands watching the doughty Jayhawks attempt to upset the mighty Tigers.
Game Notes: Hoyt Baker, quarterback, was driving particularly hard on his off-tackle smashes . . . Harlan Altman, reserve halfback, made two nice low shoestring tackles on Bear backs . . . Zimmerman and Passman, also both substitutes, came through with neat tackles in the fourth period . . . Obermark and Wisman were tough Washington linesmen to handle . . . Warren Hodges repeatedly moved in from his center position to foil Bear smashes at the center of the Jayhawk line . . . This boy Don Johnson is looking better and better at his tackle slot, and with Hodges gives Kansas one of the better tackle duos in the Big Six . . . Radio announcers raved about the performance by Ray Evans . . . The big boy would drop back to block for Baker's brilliant punting, then would race down the field like an antelope to nail the Washington safety with one of his vicious tackles.
--exercises, which was followed by a blocking drill supervised by Replogle. A short scrimmage was held during the last few minutes of practice.
For a time "Frosty" Wilson, former Halsted star, seemed to be covering the entire Kansas secondary as he batted down passes and nipped Washington ball-carriers . . . Too much cannot be said for this boy Tevis who certainly turned in a splendid game for the visitors . . . Ed Linquist's running is deceptive, for the Kansas City star hits the line with what seems to be no excessive power and doesn't even bother to dodge opposing tacklers . . . Yet he almost unfailingly emerges into the enemy secondary . . . Those in the pressbox were amazed at the announcement of the Oklahoma, Kansas State score . . . Ray Evans has now intercepted eight passes, only three short of the record . . . George Dick was the Kansas game captain . . . Watzig. Bear end, made on brilliant play as he broke through to throw Linquist for a loss . . . The cheer for Evans as he left the game in the third quarter was tremendous.
Walt Sheridan displayed his talent of two years ago in pass interception as he snagged one in the final quarter . . . Kansas has met more than its share of good fullbacks this fall, and Washington's Seith was certainly no slouch . . . Linquist saved a touchdown in the first quarter when he nailed Winkler from behind just as the runner was breaking out into the open . . . Paul Hardman Saturday answered his critics who had claimed he was weak on pass receiving . . . The turf was slippery and backs from both squads repeatedly fell as they cut too sharply . . . Evans was jarred up considerably in the first quarter, but nevertheless the durable back continued in action until late in the third quarter . . . Hats off to the Kansas band which under Director Wiley really put on a first-class demonstration between halves of the game.

Art Edson, AP scribe, gives Ray Evans chances for national recognition a boost in a widely-published story saying that the Jayhawk is an all-American on a losing team. Edson states that Evans probably won't rate national honors this fall because he is on a below-par squad, but quite plainly implies that he should. In outlining Evans talents, in addition to his passing, 9dson says: "His running is Kansas' best ground weapon. His defense work is spectacular, particularly when he backs up the line. And since he stands out like Lady Godiva at an Eskimo whale fry, he takes a terrific beating, both on offense and defense." A few more topnotch stories like Edson's, and don't be surprised if Evans runs a close race for an all-American berth.
Frosh Look Good To Coach Replogle

Small Freshman Squad Works Out
A small freshman basketball squad of 20 players is working out regularly under Marvin Sollenberger and Dick Miller.
Many of the freshmen are spending most of their time studying and they can not find time to participate in freshman ball.
"There are many openings and everyone is welcome to come out," Sollenberger said.
John Dewell, last year all-state center with Newton's state champions, reported for the first time last week. He is rounding into top shape. Dewell is also a member of the freshman football squad.
The squad is now studying fundamentals—how to use them and also the reasons for using them. The overhead pass, hook pass, pivot, and dribble are being stressed. The players are also learning the fine point of passing down court and the correct way to move the ball down court.
A few minutes at the end of every practice session is devoted to scrimmaging.
Don Burt of Dodge City is looking particularly good. He has a very good set shot. Ellis Nicolet, a former Cimarron star, is one of the squad's flashiest men.
Kirk Scott, Dewell's teammate on Newton's squad last year, is living up to advance notices. Don Diehl from Smith Center is another likely looking candidate.
Archie Garfield has come all the way from Wolf Point, Mont., to play freshman ball here, and the boy is looking very good.
From Sublette, home of former Kansas star, Ed Hall, and Otto Schnellbacher, comes Elton Winters. Hutchinson sends two of its former stars, Fred Shaffer and Walt Quiring.
Jack McCoy, former Emporia star, is serving notice that he intends to see varsity action before he leaves Kansas.

Cyclones Prepare For Jayhawks
Ames, Iowa, Nov. 9.-Iowa State, its non-conference campaigning brought to a close, will turn its entire energies to Big Six competition and the chance to get out of the cellar spot it occupied last year.
Following the 32 to 7 loss to Villanova at Philadelphia last week, the Cyclones have two games left, both with Kansas teams. On Nov. 14, the team closes its home season with the University of Kansas and a week later ends the year at Kansas State.
A repetition of history is all that the Cyclones ask of the rest of the 1942 season. That would assure them of the highest finish in the league since 1938 when they landed second place. During the 1940 season Kansas bowed 12 to 0 in the last home victory

Three Jayhawks Are Injured In Game With Bears
Coach Gwinn Henry's Kansas Jayhawks yesterday afternoon began tuning up for Saturday's decisive tilt with Iowa State at Ames, in which the Kansas squad will attempt to cinch fourth place in the final conference standings.
A victory would give Henry's charges the same record and position in the standing they held last fall—with a chance for further advancement in their Thanksgiving Day battle with the mighty Missouri Tigers.
Three Jayhawk regulars were on the sidelines yesterday with injuries received in last week's game. Paul Hardman, veteran wingman, has been slowed down by a severe charley horse. Junius Penny, sensation sophomore center, suffered a broken finger, and Kenneth Adams has a sprained ankle.
The men yesterday afternoon ran through only a light drill without shoulder pads. Serious work will get underway this afternoon.
These three men join three other first-stringers—Gene Sherwood, Joe Crawford, and Otto Schnellbacker—already on the injury list. Coach Henry, however, stated that he expected his squad to be at near fullstrength by game time Saturday.
Coach Henry hopes this week to device a Jayhawk defense capable of checking the offensive efforts of the Cyclones' Royal "The Ace" Lohr. Lohr rates with Ray Evans and Missouri's Bob Steuber as one of the three best backs in the Big Six. Other Iowa State backs, who are expected to give the Jayhawks trouble are Howard Tipppee and Paul Darling.
In the line the Iowa Staters beast of two of the best front-wall men
