Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
Now it seems that the Jayhawk showing was murh better Saturday than early wire releases indicated. Said one observer of the game: "For the first time I felt we had something." Evans in particular was brilliant, turning in a performance of the kind which makes all-Americans. Some scribes muttered "Shades of Jay Berwanger," as Evans, like the former Chicago University ace, looked great even on a losing team. Texas scribes have gone overboard for the Jayhawk acr. Superlative adjectives were abundant in their descriptions of Evans' play. TCU backs, and they are the best Kansas has encountered this year in the collegiate ranks, were neglected as sports writers paid tribute to Evans.
Game notes—Schnellbacher, also redhot on the defense, was Evans' favorite receiver as he took seven passes . . . Charlie Black caught three of the tosses . . . Montgomery gained 107 yards in 18 attempts for the Frogs, and completed six out of nine passes . . . Evans also outpunted his Frog rivals by three yards . . . In passing out bouquets for Jayhawk performances Saturday don't forget Warren Hodges, the big likeable Lawrence boy, who finally came through with the great game Kansas coaches have considered him capable of turning in. He was described by one observer of the game as the best tackle on the field . . . Harry Viner, former Missouri star, was the referee, and turned in an exceptionally excellent and fast officiating job . . . Evans, Sherwood, and Linquist saw action through most of the game.
For the first time this year the Jayhawks turned in the kind of a game which pleases the spectators. From start to finish they held the interest of the fans . . . The T-formation did not work so good for the Kansans. Kansas made 12 first down, TCU 18 . . . Bad center passes were mainly responsible for the negative number of yards gained by the Jayhawks from running plays . . . The usually dependable Eob Githens made one bad one in the first period when he led Altman the wrong direction, and Penny later also made a bad snapback which was costly . . . Bagley, not Montgomery, was the TCU back who impressed Kansas fullback Ed Linquist . . . Montgomery, however, appeared to be the class of the Frog backfeld men to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, who was in the pressbox . . . Gene Sherwood saw a lot of action, and, while he looked bad when he went to "sleep" on one pass play, on the whole turned in a creditable performance.
Junius Penny saw some action at a guard slot, and thus has played tackle, center, and guard this fall for Gwinn Henry . . . From the press-
WALT SHERIDAN
guard this fall for Gwyn Henry . . . From the pressbox Walt Sheridan looked like a natural center as he floated with the plays cagily while backing up the line . . . The train was very late getting into Ft. Worth, not reaching there until after 1:30. Troop trains were responsible for part of the delay . . . The train car had been hot and uncomfortable throughout the trip, and most of the Jayhawks were exhausted before they reached Ft. Worth . . . Frosty Wilson saw only a few minutes of action against TCU, but while in, he threw some blocks which made the fans gasp. Charlie Black made the block which made possible Schnellbacher's touchdown run . . . Altman did his best job of signal-calling this fall, as he mixed them
up nicely.
The TCU ends looked particularly good . . . Kansas ends, however, ran into their old difficulty of solving reverse plays, which the Frogs relieved upon heavily . . . Evans intercepted a Frog pass in the clear for what should have been a touchdown, but tripped over Wilson's leg after leaping to snag the toss . . . Gene Roberts was in for but one play, and once again his trick knee was wrenched. The limb was first injured in his high school days . . . TCU used a double wingback plus a flanker . . . TCU tried but few line plunges . . Linquist was game captain for Kansas. There was absolutely no breeze in the stadium, and the 95 degree temperature soon fock its toll of the tired Kansas players . . . Linquist received a cut under one eye . . . Steve Karnowski, who has turned out some pretty fair intramural football and basketball teams himself for the Newman club, was back on the campus yesterday visiting. He is working for the U.S. Engineers.
Little Beecher Montgomery, 163 pounds of explosive dynamite in broken field, was one of the principal reasons for the Jayhawks downfall at Ft. Worth Saturday. Montgomery is also a passing and punting star. Relegated to the third team by coach Dutch Meyer this year, he was the outstanding Frog back on the field Saturday.

ay Evans Is a Standout Texas Scribes, Fans Praise Top Passer
"TCU 41, Evans 6," was the way the final score of Saturday's football game was announced over the loud speaker at Ft. Worth, and the announcer wasn't so very far wrong.
The 185-pound junior back, right smack in the middle of the greatest passing conference in the country, gave fans and the opposing Frogs alike a lesson in aerial gridfare which will likely never be forgotten by the Tex-
TCU rooters, accustomed to such brilliant slingers as Sammy Baugh, Davie O'Brien, and Emery Nix could do nought but gasp as Evans, a one-man team if there ever was one, time and time again dropped back, cocked his arm, and sent a

Oklahoma Hopes To Break Scoring Ice This Saturday
Dewey "Snorter" Luster's Okla-
Dewey "Snorter" Luster's Oklahoma Sooners so far this fall have shown none of the power the Oklahoma eleven generated last fall in downing Gwinn Henry's Jayhawks 38 to 0 at Norman. So lacking in punch have the disappointing Sooners been, that they have as yet failed to cross their opponent's goalline in three games. They hope to remedy this situation, however, Saturday when they meet the Jayhawkers at Memorial Stadium.
The Sooners opened the season with a 0 to 0 tie with the Oklahoma Aggies. However, another state rival, Tulsa University, shellacked Luster's charges 23 to 0. Saturday the Sooner's dropped their second game, 7 to 0, to the Texas University Longhorns.
However, observers saw in the Sooner showing against Texas indications that the Norman outfit has one of the toughest defensive lines
