Pressbox Ramblings

Few sports writers thought he could do it, but rookie John Beazley came through, and now the Cardinals are very much back in the series. After resting today, the two teams will tangle again on Saturday at New York, and its anybody's guess as to the starting hurlers. Perhaps the nods will go to Chandler and White. If such occurs, then a pitching battle would seem to be in store for series followers. Cardinal hitting yesterday was once again somewhat disappointing and it would seem that the Redbirds should still have plenty of basehits left in their bats. Only in the ninth inning of the first game have they shown any really impressive hitting. Nevertheless, Beazley proved yesterday that Card pitching is all they said it was. Saturday's game will get under way at 12:15 with Mutual again broadcasting.

Lots of big games this week for the football fan, as the pigskin sport competes with baseball for the spotlight. Most observers are picking them this way — Alabama to take a tough one from Mississippi State, T.C.U. to down Arkansas, Army to beat Lafayette, Tulane to rout Auburn, Baylor to down Oklahoma Aggies, California to nose out Oregon State, Cornell to take Colgate after considerable trouble, Missouri to defeat Colorado, Kansas over Denver by a touchdown, Duquesne to get past Holy Cross, Fordham to beat Tennessee, Georgetown to beat Mississippi, Notre Dame to take Georgie Tech into camp, Pennsylvania to rebound against John Harvard, Indiana to nose out Ohio State, Great Lakes to beat Iowa, Nebraska to take a close one from Iowa State, L.S.U. a slight nod over Rice, Michigan over Michigan State, Minnesota to take the powerful Iowa Seahawks (strictly off the cuff), Navy to defeat Virginia, Texas to edge out Northwestern, Tulsa and Oklahoma even up, and Oregon over Washington State.
At random: Clint Kanaga, former Kansan sports editor, and now of the marines, is on the Campus visiting with old friends. Kanaga was probably best known as one of the best intramural scribes ever to write for the Kansan . . . The intramurtal touch football competition will get underway sometime next week . . . Kenneth Adams, one of the smaller Jayhawk backs, is looking better and better as the season goes on . . . Tip is that Gene Roberts will not be used tonight unless needed to bolster the Kansas running attack . . . Marquette coaches were displeased with their charges showing last Saturday, and their attitude toward tomorrow's big game with Wisconsin has changed from one of optimism to determination . . . Marquette athletic director Conrad M. Jennings states that traveling conditions encountered by the Hilltoppers on their trip here were the worst he ever experienced, and that if the school continues intercollegiate competition after this year it will have to refrain from long-distance schedules . . . Kansas denominational colleges have taken the first step toward discontinuation of interscholastic football next year..
Psychology
Brown Fooled
By Paranoic
Even psychologists are fooled, explained Prof. J. F. Brown, of the department of psychology, in a recent lecture.
Brown went on to describe the time he had been travelling about the country in his car investigating psychology aspects of the depression. He would pick up hitch-hikers and get their views on the prosperity that was just around the corner.
One day he picked up a well-dressed man who carried an expensive-looking leather bag and began to talk to him. Brown admitted he was a psychologist at the University of Kansas, which drew the admission from the stranger that he was a field investigator for Leland Stanford University, seeing the country from the hitchhiker's vantage point. Brown was so inferred that he immediately invited the fellow psychologist to the University and began to gather together a sum of
Brown immediately dropped all preparations when the fellow came into his room one day and tried to sell him some stock in in enterprise that would bring this country out of the depression by selling corrugated iron houses to Peruvian Indians.

A total of 204 individual and team entries will compete in the men's intramural fall sports program this year, it was revealed today by Henry A. Shenk, director of men's intramural sports.
The events, which include both 6 and 11-man football, team tennis, golf, team horseshoes, and handball, will get underway some time the latter part of next week.
Intramural Sports Start Next Week
At 4:30 Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the teams entered in the football events will be held on the intramural playing field, at which the rules to be followed will be explained.
Ten Men Out For Opening Cage Practice
BUY WAR STAMPS
The first basketball practice of the year was held yesterday afternoon in Robinson gym with ten men reporting, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, coach, reported today.
A defensive fundamental drill was stressed by Dr. Allen at the practice session, with each of the men out being required to play the role of solitary guard against two attacking forwards.
JOHN BUESCHER
The last five minutes of the hour-and-a-half session were spent in a short scrimmage. Members of the "irregular" five defeated the "regular" team 8 to 0, with Bill Forsyth, Paul Carpenter, and John Short standing out for the victors. Bill Brill and Bob Fitzpatrick played good ball for the losers.
Dr. Allen announced today that the December 15 game with Creighton would be played here at Hoch auditorium, instead of in Omaha as stated on the basketball schedule. The March game with Creighton

will then be played in the Nebraska city.
The move makes the Creighton game the opening home contest for the Jayhawk cagers. Dr. Allen pointed out that University fans will now be allowed to witness two games before the Christmas vacation period on the home court.
Early Home Games
Marvin Sollenberger and Dick Miller, both lettermen, will not report for the cage game this winter, the basketball coach announced. Sollenberger, regular last year, has but one semester of eligibility left, and decided to pass up the court game this year in favor of concentrating on his studies.
Solly Defensive Ace
Sollenberger was a defensive stalwart on the Big Six co-championship squads of the past two years, and usually drew the assignment of guarding the scoring aces of opposing squads. He came to the University from Hutchinson Junior col-
Miller is the brother of Ralph Miller, ace forward of last year's squad. Miller also passed up football this fall.
Several more men are expected to report next week for the court game. Among them are expected to be John Buescher, ace letterman, and Harold McSpadden, one of the more promising members of the freshman crop.
Cagers on Grid Squad
Dr. Allen pointed out that 11 basketball men are at present out for football, and will not be able to report for the winter sport until after the completion of the football season. This will leave them less than two weeks in which to prepare for the opening game of the basketball season against the Gardner Naval Training station.
Basketball practice sessions will continue to be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons of each week, Allen said. No credit is given in

Frosh Cagers Report On Wednesday
The first freshman basketball practice will be held next Wednesday, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, coach announced today.
The opening practice session will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. in Hoch auditorium. Practices for the first-year men will then be held regularly each Monday and Wednesday evening.
Freshmen reporting for the court game are requested to bring their own equipment, since the rubber shortage has made the obtaining of athletic shoes and other pieces of equipment difficult. Dr. Allen pointed out that most of the freshmen will possess such equipment for their physical conditioning class.
Dr. Allen will personally coach the freshman squad during the first few practice sessions.
Milt Allen, son of Dr. Allen and a former Jayhawk basketball star who coached last year's fresh squad, will not be available for the task this winter, since he is employed full-time at the Hercules Powder company, and does not arrive home from his employment until a late hour each evening.
Murray Brown, hired earlier as freshman coach, has joined the athletic staff at Topeka High School, where he will assist with the basketball tutege.
Dr. Allen indicated that two Jaya-
hawk lettermen who will not compete this year—Marvin Sollenberger and Dick Miller—might later be placed in charge of the freshmen. Both men are well acquainted with the Allen system of coaching.
Pre-season expectations for a freshman squad are good, according to Allen. However, much of the promising fresh material is at present out for freshman football, and will not report for the court game until after the completion of the grid season.
