UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1942
Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The Jayhawks will be putting an undefeated record at stake when they clash with Thomas Gorman's Washington University Bears here at Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon. The two teams have met 14 times, with the first game having been played in 1891—the second year of football at this school. Of those contests, Kansas has won 11, and the three remaining games have ended in ties. In only five of those games have the Bears scored, tallying one of their touchdowns last year on the passing of Bud Schwenk, last year's leading finger in the nation. The highest score a Kansas football team ever chalked up—83-0—was made in 1923 at the expense of Washington. The Jayhawks seem likely to continue their domination of the Missouri Valley eleven tomorrow in a game which may see both teams largely depending upon the aerial route for their scoring threats.
There are big games aplenty this week, with every section boasting of some topnotch struggles. For instance, the Big Six has its Nebraska vs. Missouri, with this writer leaning toward Missouri by at least two touch-downs. In other games we'd take Alabama to topple South Carolina, Rice to nose out Arkansas, Notre Dame to roll over a tough Army eleven, Georgia Naval to edge out Auburn, Boston College to wallop Temple, Brown to get past Holy Cross, Clemson to whip George Washington, Utah to defeat Colorado, Colgate to beat Columbia, North Carolina to massacre little Davidson, St. Mary's to lose to Duquesne, Duke to beat a good Maryland team, Georgia to roll over Flordia, LSU to bow to Fordham, Citadel to outlast Furman, Georgia Tech to top Kentucky, and Wisconsin to whip Iowa.

Johnny Strzykalski. Marquette sophomore sensation who is as hard to stop as he is to spell, gets a writeup in this week's Football News. The sophomore performed well here, but that was just a start, and he has rapidly been getting better with each game. In his first five games the youngster made five touchdowns, passed for five more, averaged 4.6 yards per rush, averaged better than 35 yards on his punting, and is the leading punt returner in the Middle West, having brought back 14 kicks for a distance of 250 yards. Strzykalski is a good man to keep your eyes on for future reference for all-American honors, although that honor is probably at least a year off for the Hilltopper. If he gets to finish his college career, however, he should make Golden Avalanche followers forget the exploits of the great Buzz Buivid.

Nebraska, Tigers In Crucial Game
Attention in Big Six conference circles this week will be concentrated on Lincoln, where the Nebraska Cornhuskers, stinging from the humiliation of last week's dismal showing against the Kansas Jayhawkers, will take on the Missouri Tigers, who also had a bad Saturday last week while losing to the Great Lakes Naval Training station.
The Tigers will take the field favorites to win by two touchdowns. However, the enthusiasm of Tiger followers has been dampened somewhat by the long Missouri injury list which includes Tiger ace Bob Steuber. If Missouri is deprived of his services, the game might be a close and grueling contest.
The winner will be overwhelming favorites to take the conference title this fall.
Oklahoma will attempt to cinch the third-place spot in the Big Six as the Sooners take on the Kansas State squad at Norman. On their home field the Sooners, continuing to operate with Eddie Davis and Huel Hamm in the backfield, are expected to have but little trouble with the hapless Aggies. The Kansas State team is hard-hit by injuries and will present a patched-up starting lineup.
Iowa State moves east to Philadelphia, where they will take on the high-geared Villanova football team. The Cyclones will once again be depending upon their ace back, Royal Lohry, to more than compensate for line weaknesses. The Villanova forward wall is big and capable, and the Wildcat backs are also of better-than-average caliber.
In the second non-conference game of the week, the Kansas Jayhawks will be in the unusual role of favorite as they take on the Washington Bears on their home gridiron. With Ray Evans doing the flinging, fans anticipate a topnotch aerial show.
The Audio-Visual Aids Center of the University of Connecticut has been designated as the war information film depository for the state.
Page's Son Drowns At Kansas City
Barton Lee Page, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Page, drowned in a three-foot fish pond at Kansas City, Mo., yesterday. Mr. Page was a star basketball player under Dr. F. C. Allen in 1930-31-32.
Barton Lee fell into the pond while playing with a neighbor boy. The boy ran to the Page home. After calling the police, Mrs. Page waded in after her unconscious son. Oxygen and adrenalin were administered by an ambulance crew, but the child showed no sign of life after an hour.
Police recovered two rag dolls and a stocking cap that had slipped from the boy's head, at the bottom of the pond.
Members of the Women's Rifle Team have been asked by Mary Lou Nelson, president, to pay the membership fee by noon Thursday at Fowler shops. Arrangements for those women who did not complete their preliminary tests will be made later.

Navy Football Team To Meet Eleven From Hopkin's Hall
H. S. & M. Camels Hair Coats
$50
An eleven-man touch football game between trainees of the Navy Training station and University men of Hopkins hall will be played Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock at Memorial Stadium, it has been announced.
The Navy squad is expected to contain men with varsity football experience from Duke, Fordham, and Colgate Universities. Hopkins hall will counter with a lineup consisting of varsity football men, fresh squad candidates, and members of the Hall's six-man team.
Expected to star with the Hopkin's squad are such men as Bernard Passman, John Monroe, and Bob Barnes—all varsity men, and Bob Pierce and All Capito, freshman stars.
Beta's Wallop Teke Squad By 56-0 Score
There were eleven men on each side, but from a glance at the score, a spectator would have thought that all 22 men were Beta's yesterday afternoon as the undefeated Tekes were humbled, 56-0.
Long Beta aerials from the passing arm of Hall to the glue-tipped fingers of Mowery were the downfall of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Five times, Hall uncooked a long pass which seemingly led the receiver too much, only to be snagged by Mowery's outstretched arms.
