UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1942
--copped off his college career with his brilliant performance Saturday . . . Even Aggie fans gave him a cheer as he left the field . . . Gwinn and Hardman were the captains for the game . . . Baker showed some real punting ability in the game . . . The sophomore back also brought Williams down once with a nice tackle when he was the only man between the Aggie fullback and the Kansas goal . . . The Aggies used almost twice as many substitutes as did Gwinn Henry . . . Mendenhall, Wildcat basketball ace, saw some action in the last quarter . . . The way Paul Hardmann and Otto Schnellbacher stopped Aggie reverses was encouraging to Kansas fans who had in previous games seen just those same plays work for touchdowns . . . Johnny former teammate at Wyandotte, looked plenty good
Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
A day in Dairydale:: Jayhawk rooters almost drowned out Aggie cheers at the dime dance rally held in Nichols gym Saturday morning . . . Admission was by a ten-cent defense stamp, and 50-cent purchases brought a smooth from an Aggie coed . . . Saturday morning the Aggie campus was alive with Jayhawk visitors . . . This writer attended the Manhattan- Herrington High school game Friday night, and was greatly impressed by the fine Manhattan squad which won 31 to 0 . . . Manhattan blocking was at times almost unbelievable, while little Marvin Miller turned in some broken-field running which was out of this world . . . Prevailing opinion of downtown Manhattan business men seemed to be that the Jayhawks would win easily . . . Aggie students, however, were more confident.

The Wildcat Homecoming queen was introduced between halves, and Governor Ratner spoke briefly . . . An army mobile unit paraded around the field between halves . . . Most impressive of the K-State players to this writer was Mike Vargon, a sophomore end who has all the earmarks of greatness . . . Earl Williams is a fullback who hits that line savagely . . . Mike Zeleznak had been ill the previous week and saw but little action . . . On one occasion he was tossed for a 22-yard loss by the charging Jayhawk forwards as he dropped back to pass . . . Many scribes believed the real difference between the two teams lay in the superiority of the Kansas linesmen, so Hardman, Crawford, Hird, Johnson, Penny, and company can take a bow . . . Hardman in particular was outstanding.

Bortka, Ray Evans at times.
Altman and Eaker both left the game with leg injuries . . Evans received a cut on his face and left the game temporarily, but soon returned . . While Evans' flinging was outstanding, don't forget this boy, Merriman, of the State squad . . The little rabbit-back was amazingly cool when rushed, but was handicapped somewhat by poor receiving . . Big Warren Hodges is making a definite bid for conference honors with his play at a tackle position . . Carl Hird fitted nicely into the guard position to which he was assigned, while Don Johnson handled the vacated tackle post splendidly . . Once again Frosty Wilson saw but little action . . . The injured Gene Roberts was not even in the traveling squad . . Not only did Evans toss some passes, but he was on the receiving end of one from Baker.

The Jayhawk party which gathered at the Aggie cafeteria after the game was a tired, but happy one . . . Wearing the biggest grin was Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, basketball coach . . . Mack Betton's fine orchestra played for dances Friday and Saturday nights for the Homecoming crowd . . . Disappointed fan—the alumnus who made the trip to Manhattan "just to see the band I used to play with perform" . . . Our thanks to the hospitable Aggie journalists, publicity men, and Western Union manager who helped make coverage of the game possible . . . Also to Milo Farneti, who handled the story on this end of the wire . . . Jack Gardner, former Aggie basketball coach and now coaching the Gardner Naval Station quintet, was in the pressbox . . . One Aggie sports writer predicted after the game that the Kansas squad could take Iowa State into camp, if Hoyt Baker's leg injury is not too serious.
With an emphasis on speed in place of the power once stressed by the Lincoln squad, the Nebraska team has been showing improvement with each game.
Forming the nucleus for a scintillating backfield are two of last year's top Big Six performers, Al Zikmund of Rose Bowl fame and Dale Bradley, all-conference halfback last fall. Those two men, however have been receiving plenty of offensive aid from sophomore stars Wally Hopp and Kirwin Eisenhart. Other capable backs include Fred Metheny, Wayne Sindt, Bob Cooper, Marvin Athey, and Roy Long.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Big Six's anly serious challenger to the domination of the mighty Missouri Tigers, will afford Gwinn Henry's rejuvenated Jayhawks their opposition at Homecoming Day activities Saturday.

Heading the tackles is of course mammoth Vic Schleich, perhaps the top tackle in the Big Six. He receives plenty of support from junior Joe Beyler. Bob Deviney, Charley Duda, and Herb von Goetz make up a trio of top守兜技.
The Nebraska line, with the exception of the center post, is strictly of the stone-wall variety. At ends are speedy Jack Hazen and Marvin Thompson backed by plenty of aggressive substitutes.
Attempting to fill in at the center post are Wayne Stranathan and Forrest Bachman, both squadmen from last year's outfit.
Gone is coach Biff Jones who in the past has directed the Cornhusker's play, but filling in for him is
Cyclone Games to Start at 2 p.m.,
Veenker Announces
Ames, Iowa. Oct. 27—Iowa State's remaining home football games will start at 2 p.m.
(continued to page five)
Originally scheduled for a later hour, Athletic Director George F. Veenker made the shift in game time at the suggestion of Cyclone fans. The extra hour after the game is needed, many feel, much more than the extra hour before the game.
Remaining home games for the Cyclones include the Homecoming contest Saturday, Oct. 31, with Oklahoma, and the Dad's Day event, Nov. 14, against Kansas. Both will start at 2 p.m.

"This is the kind of stuff we KU alumni have to put up with in Oklahoma," wailed Donald Judd, a member of the class of '30, in a letter to the Kansan sports editor containing a clipping from the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman deriding the Kansas football setup.
"What's the answer?" Judd demanded. "Is the state of Kansas proud or ashamed of the football situation?"
"The answer is proud," declared Dr. Forrest C. Allen, chairman of the University physical education department today.
man of the University physi. "We are proud of our football team because they are one of the few truly amateur squads cannot whip their opposition--too often professionalsdoes not make us ashamed, merely disappointed."
The clipping contained in Judd's
letter was from the "Once Over Lightly" column of the Daily Oklahoman. It was written by John Cronley, well-known Sooner sports writer.
