FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1942
Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
Football fans tomorrow afternoon at Memorial stadium will do well to keep their eyes on one Al Klug, Marquette tackle, who is slated to get plenty of mention this fall for All-American honors. Klug, a shot-putter on the varsity track team, is rangy and very strong. He began his football career at Marquette as an end, after playing fullback in high school. It did not take the Golden Avalanche coaching staff long, however, to see his possibilities as a tackle, and for the better part of two years he has mauled enemy linesmen from that position. The game tomorrow afternoon will be broadcast over a Milwaukee radio station—WISN. Parke Carroll of Kansas City has been named as referee. Other officials will be John Waldorf of Missouri, umpire; Robert Miller of Missouri, field judge; and Bill Day, Nebraska, head linesman. Marquette players will be numbered according to positions, so as to help fans, newsmen, and officials in identifying the Hilltoppers. Ends wear Jersey numbers in the eighties, tackles in the seventies, guards in the sixties, centers in the fifties, quarterbacks in the twenties, fullbacks in the thirties, right halfbacks in the teens, and halfbacks in the forties. Lone exception will be left halfback Johnny Strzykalski, who insists on wearing his old high school number—17.
Grid warfare gets underway throughout the nation this week with a bang. Several games of mid-season caliber are on top for the morrow. Dopesters are pretty generally stringing along with Georgia Tech to nose out Auburn, California to beat St. Mary's, Colorado to beat Colorado Mines fairly easily, Cornell to roll over Lafayette, Holy Cross to nose out Dartmouth, Duke to beat Davidson, Iowa State to take a close one from Denver, Fordham to take Purdue into camp, Georgetown to bow to Temple in one of the day's best games, the North Carolina Cadets to triumph over Harvard, Nebraska to take a tough one from Iowa, Texas to romp on Kansas State, Texas A & M to squeeze out a win over Louisiana State, Great Lakes favored very slightly over Michigan, Minnesota to defeat Pittsburgh, Missouri to win over St. Louis, Iowa Cadets to beat Northwestern but not without trouble, Southern California to take a thriller from Tulane, Tennessee to win over South Carolina, T.C.U. to whip U.C.L.A., and Oklahoma to defeat Oklahoma Aggies.
At random—Wally Hopp, Nebraska back, is a brother of Johnny Hopp, Cardinal first-sacker, who seems headed for World Series play this fall . . . T.C.U. will depend largely on passing this fall, so it is a safe bet that the Jayhawks are in for plenty of drilling on pass defense before they make the trip to Fort Worth . . . Bob Balaban, Kansas boy, is still going great guns with the Horned Frogs, and will probably start Saturday against U.C.L.A. at one end position . . . Kansas fans will keep their eyes on tonight's contest between Denver and Iowa State, as both squads are on the Jayhawk schedule this fall . . . Don't be surprised to see Charlie Black grab himself a starting end position before the season is over. The boy is a wizard at snagging passes . . . John Dewell and Bud French are two among many fresh team candidates who will bear watching in the future . . . Only two states—Kansas and Missouri—are represented on the freshman team . . . The slight hip injury suffered in practice this week by Ray Evans is not expected to slow down the big boy a whit, which is bad news for Tom Stidham . . . Fans can get no really accurate picture of the Jay running attack till they see Gene Roberts in action, for the entire ground-gaining offense has been built around the speedy sophomore.
HILLTOPPERS MEET—
(continued from page one)
Crawford will start again at the guard positions. Lewis Musick is scheduled to see considerable action, however, at one of the guard posts.
Against the Jayhawk line, averaging better than 199 pounds per man, will be pitted a Hilltopper line consisting of six juniors and one senior, and averaging 195 pounds per man. The lone senior in the Marquette lineup will be Al Klug, one of the best tackles in the nation. Maceau Injured
Absent from the Golden Avalanche lineup will be first string center Mel Maceau, who has been laid up with a foot injury. He will be replaced Saturday by lanky Bob Fritz, who lettered last fall.
The starting Marquette backfield quartet will consist of two juniors and an equal number of rookies, averaging 187 pounds per nan. The Kansas starting backfield averages but 178 pounds.
ED LINDQUIST
Expected to
spark the Hilltopper attack is Johnny (Tenstrike) Strzykalski, one of the greatest prep school aces ever to perform in the city of Milwaukee. Teaming with him at the other halfback spot will be junior Ray Carlson, a regular end last fall. Carlson was switched to a halfback position this season so that the Golden Avalanche aggregation might have the advantage of his running ability.
Bobby Dams, a letterman, will be in the blocking back position, and will call signals for Stidham's team. Carl Schuette, hard-working sophomore, will handle the fullback position.
Only class A six and eleven man intramural touch football will be scheduled this year, Henry Shenk, director of men's intramurals, announced yesterday evening at a meeting of the various organization representatives.
Wayne (Rusty) Johnson is another
Intramural Football Begins Next Week
(continued to page eight)
He went on to explain that, due to the lack of facilities and time, there would be only one touch football team accepted from each organization—more points being awarded to the eleven man team winners.
All football entries are to be in Shenk's hands by Tuesday. The season should get under way by next Thursday.
Varsity men may take part in all intramural sports other than those in which he is participating for the University.
It was stressed that due to tire and possible gas rationing some varsity sports might be discontinued, and at such a time men connected with the terminated sport would be allowed into the intramural sport.
The idea of the department is one of not excluding a man from intramural activity merely because he is adept, it was pointed out.

It was brought out by Shenk that should all inter-collegiate sports be discontinued, intramural sports would take their place for the duration. Shenk stressed that anything is likely to happen in the present world condition.
Referring to the 1942-43 policy, Shenk stated that as few ineligibility ratings as possible would be made.
"Touch football will not only have it's place in intramurals this year but will be brought into the conditioning classes as well." Shenk said. The quality of the game is likely to go sky-high, and competition become very stiff as the above changes go into effect and fall intramurals roll underway.
