Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The current issue of Collier's contains an interesting article by Tom Siler entitled "Football Ad Libbers," which tells exactly nothing about the contents of the article. It deals with the art of quarterbacking, and more specifically with signal-callers who have on the field of play devised plays on the spur of the moment—sometimes resulting in great successes, sometimes in disaster. As two of the better quarterbacks in recent football history Siler gives us Frankie Albert and Sid Luckman, both brilliant signal-callers with plenty of imagination. There was some complaint earlier in the season concerning Jayhawk signal-calling on just that count—lack of imagination. One team member complained that he could sit on the bench and without error call off the Jayhawk plays before they were run. Signal-calling, however, has showed a definite improvement of late.

Football is definitely a question-mark here for next fall, for the decision as to whether the grid sport will be attempted again next year is still yet to be made, and there is plenty of doubt in the minds of school officials. The calling into service of 18 and 19-year olds seems to many observers to be the death blow to the sport for the duration. Should football be attempted in the Big Six conference again next fall, it is likely that freshmen will be made eligible for competition. From the reserve situation on many conference teams this fall, it seems that there was a mistake made when freshmen were not made eligible for varsity competition this year. Many of the football squads are the smallest in many, many a year.

Some sports writers are already beginning to speculate on all Big Six squads with the conference race not yet half over. One man they are already marking down as a cinch in anybody's backfield is Missouri's speedster, Bob Steuber, who is also a strong candidate for all-American honors. The Jayhawk's Ray Evans is a strong candidate for one of the other backfield positions. From the Sooners come Huell Hamm, Eddie Davis, and Bill Campbell as backfield possibilities. Nebraska offers tricky Al Zikmund and Dale Bradley. Bradley, with Steuber, was a member of last fall's quartet: Iowa State's Royal Lohrry will be difficult to beat out. From Kansas State comes nominations for Earl Williams and Mike "Jug" Zelenek.

Lyle Sturdy, Wichita University fullback, holds the longest run of the season this fall, having returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown . . . "Sailor Boy" Hodges of Baker football fame is better than ever this fall, and is receiving plenty of assistance from a host of capable backs at Baldwin . . . Marvin Vandaveer's coaching chore at Haskell is worthy of considerable applause . . . There is some discontent with the Saturday morning date for intramural football, but the move seems to be necessary in view of the crowded University athletic facilities during the week.

territory in the second quarter before Boots Adams intercepted a pass to end the threat. Evans led the march to the Wildcat 20 where State took over on downs.
Linquist then intercepted Gwin's pass and ran 30 yards to make the count 13-0. Paul Turner missed the conversion and the half ended six plays later.
A punting duel consumed the third quarter. Late in the period Evans to Linquist passes carried the Jayhawkers to the Wildcat five. Ev-

QUIL. HARDMAN
Smashed from side to side by a profusion of fast punches especially by Sue Elliott of the Chi Omega line-up and Peggy Davis of the Theta's, the ball was never allowed to rest.
Kappa Alpha Theta's fought for a hard won victory against the Kappa Kappa Gamma's 21 to 17, Thursday night in Robinson Gym.
It was by far the most thrilling game this year as the narrow margin plainly shows. Both teams were undefeated before they met to play off their division's championship.
Chi Omega's won the last championship division game defeating the Pi Phi's 35 to 25. Both Donna Burkhead, Chi Omega and Barbara Winn, Pi Phi, performed skillfully.
The winners of Thursday's division championships will meet for the semi-finals at 9 p.m. tomorrow along with Corbin hall and IWW, champions of their respective divisions.
Gamma Phi Beta's also won over Alpha Delta Pi, Thursday night 47 to 19.
Alpha Chi Omega's defeated the Delta Gamma's, 31 to 20.

You might say this announcement is late. It can't be late. The need for scrap materials in increasing every day. You may say, "Let George do it." It is too late for that. "George" has turned th job over to you.

Goal-Hi In Camps
The goal's greatest strides have been made in water polo. Today nearly all water polo courts also use Dr. Allen's goal.
Founded In Backyard
The idea for Goal-Hi originated in the Allen backyard. Dr. Allen's sons, Milton and Bob, who made basketball history at the University, had a basketball goal in the backyard mounted on a wooden post. Since the post would not remain firmly imbedded in the ground there was always the danger of the goal falling and injuring one of the par-
Is Now World's Fastest Growing Competitive Game
"Also, the goal can be dismantled and hauled in the family car to picnic grounds, where Goal-HI is taking the place of horse shoes," Dr. Allen continued.
(continued to page five)
Goal-Hi, the game invented by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, is spreading so rapidly that unofficial statistics point to it as the world's fastest growing game.
The game, invented three years ago, has caught on rapidly in the United States and also in the Latin American countries.
Kansas made it 19-0 in the final quarter on an Evans to Baker pass. The Aggies came back immediately
ans scored on the fourth down but a penalty nullified the touchdown and Kansas State held.
Goal-Hi is standard equipment for all Army and Navy training camps. Playgrounds all over the country have bought the goals, and the only reason that sales are falling off at press-
Earl Williams. Merriman and Mike Vargon led the overpowered Aggies, who never had a chance after Kansas' offense began clicking.
"Since the focus of activity is toward the basket and the ball is never out of bounds the game provides exercise that is very valuable to physical conditioning programs," Dr. Allen commented.
Both teams shoot at this one goal, and there are rules concerning the distance a player must be from the goal before he can attempt a shot.
ent is that the government has frozen the materials. The training camps are buying up the present supply of goals.
This new sport is a take-off of basketball. Standard equipment includes a basketball and a single goal that may be regulated to any height up to ten feet. The goal is an all-metal structure with only a ring at the top. It differs from the basketball goal in that Goal-Hi has no backboard and it has flaps on the bottom of the ring to deflect the ball as it falls through. These flaps add a touch of uncertainty to the game and this uncertainty as to where the ball will fall adds interest to the game.
