UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1942
Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The showing of the Jayhawk line on the defense Saturday was definitively encouraging, although there was still much to be desired on the offense as Marquette forwards, led by the great Al Klug, persisted in swarming through and nailing slow-starting Kansas backs for losses. The Jay's short punt formation was duck-soup for the Hilltopppers, as they constantly nailed the Kansas tailback before he reached the line of scrimmage. Playing the greatest game of his college career so far for the losers was Joe Crawford, junior guard, whose hard charging was a big factor in the Jay line's good show. Assisting him quite capably were big Gene Long, before he went out with an injury, and sophomore Lewis Musick. Don Johnson's showing at tackle was also outstanding, while still another sophomore, Otto Schnellbacher, turned in a fine game as substitute end. Badly needed by the Kansans was a dangerous seat-back to add variety to the Jay attack of Evan's passing and very little else. Should Gene Roberts be back in uniform against Denver this Friday night, that need should be very well supplied, for Roberts is tops as a broken-field runner. With him in the lineup, Kansas should ring up its first victory of the year over the Rocky Mountain aggregation.
Game Notes: Evans' poor punting amazed observers, for last year as a sophomore his boots averaged 48 yards per kick . . . Carlson, Avalanche game captain, proved to be a dangerous spinning back, but nevertheless was kept well in hand by the Kansas defense . . . Best run of the game was the 44-yard dash of Strzykalski to pay-dirt, which was called back for a penalty . . . In high school, Strzykalski was noted more as a passer than a runner . . . The Marquette shift was tricky, but cost the Avalanche several 15-yard penalties . . . Watching the Kansas team from the pressbox was a Denver scout, who was impressed by the work of the Kansas line . . . Time and time again big Al Klug came within inches of blocking Evans' punts . . . Paul Turner, reserve end, looked good for the Jayhawks on the defense . . . Carl Hird, injured tackle, will be ready for heavy duty against Denver . . . Wayne Johnston, fine sophomore half-back, performed at Coffeyville Junior College, before going to the Milwaukee school . . . Dams, Hiltopper place-kicker, was death itself on extra point boots, and also during pre-game practice booted field goals steadily from the 30-yard line and at an angle . . . Hoyt Baker, sophomore back, did not seen action, but is counted upon to provide plenty of trouble for opposing squads yet before the season is over . . . At center Henry has three good men, and he used them all against Stidham's Hilltoppers.
It will be Mort Cooper against Ernie Bonham tomorrow afternoon at 1:15 as the first game of the 1942 World Series gets underway. University baseball fans will stick close to their radios, as Mutual's Red Barber and company bring the colorful event over the air waves. While in the East the Yankees rate as favorites almost 2 to 1 odds, betting in this section is much closer. Primary reason for the Midwest's faith in the Redbirds is apple-cheeked Mort Cooper, probably the greatest National League hurler since the heyday of Dizzy Dean. Principal worry of Cardinal fans is the fear that the St. Louis team will suffer a letdown following their terrific stretch-drive. Cooper is also liable to get plenty of hurling assistance from one Howie Pollet, who is very largely being overlooked by sports writers in their pre-series stories. Pollet has not had a sensational season, it is true, but the youngster has been looking very good in recent starts. Like Cooper, he has a burning fastball, and would seem to this writer to be a better starting choice than rookie John Beazley.
Fashion Magazine Wants College Women Editors
University students are given an opportunity to join the College Board of Mademoiselle, fashion magazine, Miss Meguiar announced today. Tryouts for guest editorship in New York next summer is part of the plan.
Membership of the College Board entails five assignments throughout the year. In addition students may send in ideas, snapshots, and trends of her particular college suitable for Mademoiselle's use. The quality of the work counts toward guest editorship on Mademoiselle in June when guest editors come to New York to work on the August college issue.
Guest editorship on this magazine is a stepping stone to fashion artists, copywriters, radio workers, department store buyers, and magazine writers. Mademoiselle is particularly interested in English and journalism majors, students working their way through college, and girls who have creative ability slanted toward publication work.

Big Six Teams Lose Prestige; Seek Comeback
GWINN HENRY.
After a rocky Saturday afternoon, Big Six squads will settle down this week to the task of regaining some of their lost prestige against very worthy opposition.
Only Missouri was really impressive last week as they scored their second lap-sided victory of the year in running over the St. Louis University Billikins. Iowa State was the second Big Six squid to come through with a victory, downing Denver University 7 to 0.
A highly-regarded Oklahoma University eleven was held to a 0 to 0 tie by a sophomore-dotted Oklahoma A & M squad, and that team's prestige took a sudden nose-dive. Even a bigger disappointment was the Nebraska squad, which was soundly trounced by Iowa University's team from the Big Nine.
At Kansas State, football prospects hit a new low following the Texas debacle. A week earlier the Aggies had shown offensive power against Kansas Wesleyan, but last Saturday was a black day for the Staters as they

Freshmen Must Don Caps On Campus
All freshmen are required to wear their freshmen caps on the Campus until after the Homecoming game, Paul Turner, K-Club president, announced today. Wearing of the caps is to begin immediately, he added. Homecoming has been scheduled for Oct. 31, when the Jayhawks will meet the Nebraska University Cornhuskers on the gridiron.
K-Club members, equipped with paddles, will be charged with the enforcement of the ruling, as in the past. The K-Club, an organization of lettermen in University varsity sports, is annually placed in
PAUL TURNER ally placed in charge of "freshman education."
Freshmen who have not as yet obtained their caps may purchase them at downtown clothing firms, Turner said. Already some of the caps have made their appearance on the Campus, but their wearing has not as yet become general, it was pointed out.
Fundamentals Are Stressed By Jayhawks
It's back to fundamentals for the Jayhawk football squad this week as they practice on the simpler rudiments of the game, which seemingly stood between them and victory last week against Marquette.
The Jayhawks gained more total offensive yardage and more than doubled the number of first downs their opponents earned, but still were unable to stop Tom Stidham's Hilltoppers. With this in mind as Friday night's Denver game approaches, Coach Gwinn Henry is stressing blocking and tackling in an effort to bring the Kansans into the victory column.
To supplement the improved defense which he is hoping for, Henry also added several new scoring plays to quarterback Harlan Altman's signal-calling list. The varsity backfield is still undergoing (continued to page eight)
