A revamped Jayhawker lineup, featuring the nation's top passing duo of Evans and Schnellbacher, will tomorrow afternoon tackle a rugged, but as yet punchless, Oklahoma Sooner outfit in the annual Parents Day game.
Three of the members of the starting Kansas backfield quartet were second-stringers but a few days ago, although one started last-week. However, the fourth member is Ray Evans, and upon him the spotlight will once again be turned, for in
his pass-throwing arm rests much of the Jayhawk victory hopes.
Aiding Evans with the offensive chores will be Hoyt Baker, Kenneth "Boots" Adams, and Gene Sherwood. was made necessary by injuries to four Jayhawk backs. Ed Linquist. The revamping of the starting lineup fullback and the team's best gainer on the ground, will not start because of injuries received in the TCU game. Linquist, however if he appears to be ready in tonight's practice session, will see some action tomorrow. Harlan Altman, signal-caller, is out with on infected tooth and a pulled leg muscle, and is not likely to see heavy duty. The Roberts boys—Joe and Gene—will also probably witness most of the game from the bench again.
Sherwood is expected to take over Linquist's plunging duties, while ponybacks Baker and Adams hope to supply the speed which has been lacking in the Kansas backfield this year.
Also moving up into the starting lineup for the first time this fall is expected to be the sophomore sensa-

Sailors Go Rural Volunteer Aid
Machinist's mate trainees at the University Naval Training School, who volunteered their services on weekends to alleviate the farm labor shortage in the Lawrence area, report that they experienced nearly every type of farm occupation in their farming chores last weekend.
These men volunteered as farm laborers when the pressing need for hands to harvest fall crops was made known. One group reported that they were called upon to gather a farmer's pear crop.
Another group spent the autumn weekend, and their only liberty time during the week, bucking and stacking alfalfa and Kansas blue-stem.
Others spent the day helping put up one of the finest Kansas corn crops in years, and some were put to shocking forage crops and filling silos.

The University band will take part in the pre-game and half-time activities at the Kansas-Nebraska contest. Included in the ceremonies will be the presentation of a $25 war bond to the governor of the winning state in the scrap contest between Kansas and Nebraska from the governor of the losing state.

Summer School Not Required For War Loans
a wire received by Henry Werner, adviser of men, from government officials in Washington states that the restriction of required summer school attendance in order to receive government loans has been removed.
The removal of this restriction qualifies any student for loans who meets the other requirements of participation — accelerated study course, scholastic ability, and financial need. Mr. Werner announced that more than 20 additional students would now be eligible.
Additional funds were not granted, but any of the present funds available after making loans to those who had been enrolled in the 1942 summer school session may be lent to others who are otherwise eligible.
KFKU to Broadcast Discussions
A series of programs over KFKU, sponsored by the Forums Board and centered around the general topic "America at War," will begin Nov. 6. The programs will be presented in the form of discussions by three or four members of the Forums panel, which will be composed of students from various schools of the University.
The discussions, which will be broadcast under the program, "K.U. Bull Session," are scheduled to go on the air at 9:30 p.m. Thursday evenings. This fall series is one of three which the Forums Board has planned for the current year.
Plans for these programs were made at the Forums Board meeting last night. Arrangements were also made for three other services by this organization. The first service discussed will be concerning the various departments of the different schools in the University.
These forums will feature out-of-town speakers as well as faculty and student speakers. The Forums Board will also work in cooperation with the Speech department in relation to speech contests and lectures.
The Board will meet Monday evening in the Union building to discuss subjects for the series of broadcasts and to choose a permanent group to serve on the Forums Panel.

Activity Books 'Must' for Game
At least 150 students will not be able to attend the Kansas-Oklahoma game tomorrow if they are depending on activity tickets for admission, for that number is being withheld because of lack of photographs.
Fifty of these persons have failed to have retakes because of the fogging of the first film; the rest are late registrants who did not report at the photographic bureau in the basement of the library as instructed, Miss Burch M. Brown, photographer said. All late pictures are being taken at the photographic bureau.
Without activity tickets, students will not be admitted free to the football game, or any of the series of lectures and concerts offered on the University Concert and Lecture Course.
