Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The Denver defeat was by far the most damaging to Kansas prestige thus far suffered. The Iowa Cadet debacle was easily explained by the tremendous power of the sailor crew. The sting of the Marquette defeat was eased somewhat by the fine defensive showing made by the Jayhawk line. However, in the Denver game, they faced an outfit rated no better than themselves. The Pioneer contest would have seemed to have been one of four opportunities for Jayhawk victories this fall. Now but three—Kansas State, Iowa State, and Washington remain. It would seem, now, off the comparative scores against Denver, that Iowa State might just as well be erased from that list.
Without a doubt this year's Jayhawk forward wall is an improvement over last year's line as a whole, with most of the men benefitting from last year's experience. However, the backfield has yet to show anything to compare with last fall's foursome of Miller, Evans, Niblo, and Ettinger. Even the pony backs have so far lacked the speed so essential to the operation of both the T-formation and the short punt formation used by the Jayhawks. Both systems rely principally upon a good passer and at least two fast-running scatbeeps. The passing chore is handled capably by Evans. There are no such running backs, however. At least, not until Gene Roberts' bad ankle is healed. Even then, the Kansas City lad would need some assistance with the ball-lugging. Only man in sight who might possibly aid him is Hoyt Baker, who is a better-than-average ball-carrier.
Jayhawk fans are just beginning to realize what a tremendous blow it was to University football hopes when Don Pollom, senior letterman, enlisted in the services this summer. Pollom was just the type of back needed this fall to give the Jayhawk ground attack zip. Along with Gene Roberts, sophomore, he would have given Kansas a duo of fleet halfbacks who could have made the T-formation go places. Now coach Henry has neither Roberts nor Pollom, with Roberts laid up now for several weeks with a bad knee suffered in an early practice session. Said Henry of the Roberts injury: "I scrimmaged my boys less than most coaches in fear of injuries, but you can't get by without some scrimmaging. And when you do, things like this (Roberts' injury), are liable to happen anytime."
"Phog" Allen is more than a little bit enthusiastic about the basketball possibilities of Junius Fenny, sophomore from Lawrence who is at present holding down a position on Gwinn Henry's grid team. "The boy never makes a waste motion, or a wrong move. He just seems to do everything right naturally," marvelled the good doctor. Penny played intramural ball last winter with the Newman I squad, and was an all-intramural selection. He can be expected to see plenty of action on the court with Allen's high-powered Jays this winter.
At random—Jack Marsee, Oklahoma center, has been the standout of the Sooner squad so far this season, with his fine line-backing . . . Emery Nix, T. C. U. passer whom the Jayhawkers will face Saturday, is just about toads as a finger, but can also run with the best of them . . . Touch football is part of Iowa State's conditioning program, with 1,600 men competing . . . Two other basketball boys from whom "Phog" Allen is expecting great things are Paul Turner and Bob Fitzpatrick . . . Denver coach Ellison E. Ketchum was an all-Rocky Mountain football choice for three years as an end while an undergraduate at Denver . . . Art Quinlan, Denver assistant coach, attended Kansas State for one year, and starred there in baseball.

Jayhawks Lose To Denver, 17 To 0
There will be a meeting of all Ku Ku's at 9 o'clock Tuesday evening in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union Building.
Third Game Is Won By Cards 2 To 0
The St. Louis Cardinals, behind brilliant shutout pitching by left-handed Ernie White, yesterday afternoon took a two to one lead in the 1942 World Series, as they downed the New York Yankees in their own park, 2 to 0.
White went all the way, giving up but six hits to the Yankee sluggers. Sharing honors with the young pitcher was a brilliant fielding Cardinal outfield, which time and time again pulled down long drives which seemed destined to be extra base hits.
Spurgeon Chandler, on the mound for the Yankees, also pitched brilliant ball, giving up but three hits in the eight innings he worked. The lone run off him was scored in the third inning without a ball being batted out of the infield. The other Cardinal run came off Marvin Breuer in the ninth inning, with Enos Slaughter's single driving it across.
Max Lanier Today
The two teams will clash again this afternoon at Ruppert stadium, with the game starting at 1 p.m. Max Lanier, another left-hander, is slated to be on the mound for the red-hot Cards, while Atley Donald or Marius Russo will probably get the starting call for the Yanks.
First Inning:
Cardinals — Brown rolled out, pitcher to first to start the game. Moore struck out on three pitched balls. Slaughter also went down swinging. No hits, no runs, no errors.
Yankees—Rizzuto bunted the first pitched ball, and beat it out for an in-field hit. Hasset f'als it out to catcher. Cullenbene was called out on strikes. Rizzuto stole second and then reached third as catcher Walker Cooper threw wild over the second baseman's head. DiMaggio worked the count up to 3 and 2, then went down swinging as White bore down. No runs, one hit, one error.
Cardinals — Hasset, who had received a thumb injury while batting in the first inning left the game. Priddy moved to first, and Frankie Crosetti took over third base. Musial grounded out shortstop to first. Cooper and Hopp also went out shortstop to first. No hits, no runs, no errors.
Second inning:
Yankees—Gordon struck out, Keller grounded out, first baseman unas-

Kansas Team Again Is Held Scoreless
Failing repeatedly to take advantage of their scoring opportunities, Gwinn Henry's football eleven Friday night dropped their third straight game, losing to Denver University 17 to 0. It was also the third straight game in which the punchless Kansas squad was scoreless.
