Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
---
No team is taking intramural football more seriously this fall than Hopkins Hall, which has something of a standard to maintain. The house was originally intended as a residence for varsity football men, and at present no less than 10 varsity and fresh players reside there. Upon the other men at the house falls the task of keeping the football standard up in intramural competition. The colorful Hoppers have at present won one game and lost one in six-man competition. At quarterback Phil "Secooper" Dynan operates, and is one of the most dangerous passing stars in intramurals. Dynan was formerly a gunner with the Ferry Command, and has a German plane to his credit. He takes his intramural football just as seriously, as he did his gunning. Hopkins Hall was named the first Jayhawk football coach.

The Kansas line apparently played hob with Mr. Emery Nix, TCU ace, at Ft. Worth, for the Horned Frog star took a big tumble in his ground yardage average. Nix dropped from third to fourth in the Southwest conference standings in that department. He had previously carried the ball 38 times, and gained 223 yards. Against the Jayhawkers, he lugged the leather seven times, and picked up but 16 yards. Little Dean Bagley increased his punting average, however, bringing it up to 42.1 yards per boot. In passing, Nix is now fourth in the conference, and Bagley ninth in yards gained through the air. Montgomery of the Horned Frogs is seventh in total points scored with 13 points, all of them pushed over against Kansas.

At random-Dean Nesmith has now been fulltime trainer of the Jayhawk athletic squads for five years, and if there is a better muscleman anywhere, we would like to see him . . . Those Beta's appear to be the team to beat in intramural football, but there are plenty of other squads who may do just that thing . . . The spirit shown at the Nighshirt Parade rally was encouraging to both the coaching staff and team members. Freshman spirit did not seem to be affected in the least by the recent losses . . . It's K-State next week, and anybody's guess as to the outcome is as good as the next person's . . . Grant Hunter, senior tackle, is a medic and carries a heavy scholastic load in addition to his football activities . . . About as popular with his teammates as any man on the squad is fullback Ed Linquist.
Pachacamac Smoker Tonight In Union

The annual Pachacamac freshman smoker will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Principal speakers will be Vernon McKale, president of the MSC, Fred Coulson, president of the Pachacamac party, and Gene Whetstone, former student at the University.
Faculty Will Conduct Extension Classes In Service Training
Regular extension classes in service training, organized by the University, started yesterday in Topeka and Kansas City, Mo.
Members of the University faculty will go to these centers and teach regular classes giving two or three hours credit.
Representatives from the University are J. W. Twente, C. B. Althaus, Bert Nash, R. A. Schwegler, A. H. Turney, F. O. Russell, F. P. O'Brien, and T. L. Collier, all of the school of Education; R. S. Howey of the department of Economics; Miss Esther Twente of the department of Sociology; and Maurice McGaugh of the department of Geology.
Petroleum Vital To Synthetic Rubber Adams Tells Club
"The oil industry," said Roy Adams, instructor of chemistry who spoke at the chemistry club meeting Friday, "stands above all others in relation to cost and importance in the manufacture of synthetic rubber."
Gas rationing, for which all drivers which must register on Nov. 9, is a result of insufficient transportation facilities and not a result of gasoline shortage, Adams pointed out. Production of aviation gasoline and constituents of TNT are two other outstanding accomplishments of the petroleum industry since our entrance in the war 10 months ago. Adams stated that, indirectly, fifty per cent of today's wage earners are research workers.
Kissell Leads Phi Psi's to Victory
With Max Kissell leading the way with his sensational passing the strong Phi Psi overwhelmed Kappa Sigma yesterday morning 20 to 0 in their second intramural football fray.
The undefeated Phi Psi team looked like a powerhouse all the way with Bob Siddons, Ralph Dockstader, Miller, and Kissell standing out in the victory. Dole and Forney played their usual fine game and their Kappa Sig teammates fought back hard, but they were no match for the faster Phi Psi boys. The Kappa Sigma line leaked against the powerful onslaught, while Phi Psi's line seemed undentable.
Theta Tau downed Sigma Phi Epsilon in their game yesterday with an 8 to 0 score. It was the best game of the day with both teams playing their hearts out.
The Blanks, led by Del Green's passing, downed a stubborn Rock Chalk Co-op crew 12 to 0 in a game that had been postponed from a previous date.
Otto Teichgraeber and Larry Stream of the Sig Ep team were the game's stars, but could not match the all-around performances of the Theta Tau squad. Stream was injured in the game.
Dr. McQuarrier was in China just a few months before the war broke out, and during the Japanese invasion. So, though Dr. McQuarrier will speak primarily to those interested in medicine, his subject should appeal to the entire student body.
Overseas Doctor,
Worker in China,
Will Lecture Here
Dr. Irvine McQuarrie, professor of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota, will lecture in Fraser hall on "Medical Experiences in Beseiged China."
Dr. McQuarrie will give three lectures, two of which will be at the University of Kansas hospital, Kansas City, Kan. The topics of the lectures on Nov. 3 are "Experiments of Nature and the Advancement of Medical Knowledge" and "Diseases of Adrenal Glands in Children."

Send Telephoto Shots of Game
Acme Newspictures, Inc., yesterday sent action pictures of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game in what was believed to be the first time that direct telephoto service has been operated on the Hill.
Operating a portable unit attached to a direct line to Ft. Worth, Texas, the company provided spot pictures for this morning's papers all over the nation. Taking photos during the first half, Bill Humphrey, manager of the company's Kansas City branch, and his assistant, Joe Russo, developed them in the darkroom of the Daily Kansan, and sent them over the wire from wet negatives. Using four by five inch plates, it took from seven to eight minutes to telephoto one print.
Humphrey said that Bert Brandt, University graduate and former Acme manager at Kansas City, has been transferred to Washington, D. C. Humphrey remarked that it was a very desirable spot, since all pictures taken in war zones and of military subjects must be checked by censors in Washington, where they are telephotoed.
