Yes Sir — Good for You
Said scribe Jack Eckhart of the Kansas State Collegian, the Kansan's "country cousin" publication, following the Jayhawk-Aggie game: "Once again after the KU-KS fray, Gwinn Henry, Jayhawk coach, throws a Wildcat scalp to the wolves that congregate around his door howling with the footbelly ache. Letters from Lawrence say that these wolves won't be appeased this year unless they dine on a couple more victory steaks. Take Nebraska next week, for instance." Henry's charges did not rack up a victory against the Huskers, but their fine showing was much more satisfying to fans than their triumph over the Wildcats—who have lost to everybody this fall except the St. Mary's Academy girl's soccer squad. The team played a far better brand of ball in bowing to the Huskers than they did in losing to the hapless Aggies. The game did more for football morale here than early season team followers would have thought possible.

Riding high after their Saturday performance, the Jayhawks will be favored this week to chalk up their second victory of the year for Coach Henry. This writer would pick the Jayhawk squad by three touchdowns. True, for the most part the squad is made up of the same men who met repeated defeats earlier in the season. However, there is a noticeable difference in the spirit of the squad—and this upsurge has also made itself felt among the members of the student body. In practice sessions the backs are running hard, and the linesmen are charging viciously. The return of Gene Roberts to the lineup has certainly helped considerably, for at last the Kansas squad boasts a runner who, if they can shake him into the secondary, is a very definite touchdown threat. Fans are still talking about the speed he displayed on that touchdown sprint against the Huskers.
Jack Gardner's hopes for a great basketball squad this winter at the Gardner Air Base received a severe blow this week when Ralph Miller, former Jayhawk great, failed to pass the physical examination. Miller was flunked because of a sacroiliac sprain. He will now be drafted into the army next week. The enlistment deadline at the base also found another Jayhawk star—Howard Engleman—whom Gardner had been counting on, outside the Air Base fold. Engleman is at present ill in a Salina hospital. Howard Wesche was a third star who did not beat the enlistment deadline. The Air Base squad—manned principally by former Kansas City Naismith League stars—will nevertheless be a tough nut for the Kansas crew to crack.

At random—William F. Krickhan, first lieutenant and chief of the athletic section at Camp Crowder, complimented Jayhawk basketball coach "Phog" Allen upon his willingness to take on service teams—a thing many coaches are reluctant to do since it means rearrangement of schedules already made and taking on squads composed very largely of older men. Gene Sherwood was cavorting around in practice sessions this week in a manner which seems to indicate that he will be ready for fulltime action against Washington. Don Blair, letterman basketballer, will report for the cage game in the near future. The intramural football spotlight now seems to have swung upon the Phi Pi's, who are being called the team to beat.
Ralph Miller is on the Campus this week . . . Ten lettermen have or will report for the Kansas State basketball squad this winter . . . Coach Allen has plenty of confidence in Junius Penny, former Lawrence High star and the sensation of spring cage practice sessions . . . That extra point play in which Baker lateraled to Evans was made up between those two men on their way back to the line of scrimmage from the huddle, according to one team member . . . The Sooner cage squelch this year will be loaded with veterans, including the Tucker . . . The K-State freshman football squad this fall is really a redhot outfit, but then the Jayhawk frosh drilling under Wayne Replogle and Hub Ulrich can take care of themselves also . . . Bernard Passman's parents plan to see the Jayhawk basketball squad in action in Madison Square Garden against Fordham. Passman is from Brooklyn.

Although the IWW's took the lead at the half 16 to 12, both teams fought hard before the Independents pulled away to a safe margin.
