Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
The Jayhawk football roster now contains the names of 47 gridsters, as nine new candidates reported for the sport this week. They are Charlie Black, Lawrence; Winton Wilcox, Lawrence; Curt Hinshaw, Lawrence, all ends; Maurice Hill, Eureka, guard; Bill Porter, Wichita, tackle; Bill Chestnut, Beloit; Jack Bryan, Junction City; and Frosty Wilson, Halstead, all backs. Black, in particular, was a welcomed addition to the team, and is expected to be on the receiving end of several of Ray Evans' passes before the season is over. The Jayhawks this week viewed pictures of the Iowa Cadet game, and had their errors pointed out to them. Marquette plays were also diagrammed by coach Henry, and defensive formations outlined to stop the Hilltopter attack.
Avalanche antics: Marquette guard Steve Enich is a cousin of Mike Enich, Iowa's all-American tackle of two years ago . . . End Ray Kuffel is an all-around athlete, having been high-scorer on the Avalanche basketball quintet last winter . . . End John Harrington was high scorer for the Hilltop eleven last fall in spite of being only a substitute . . . Twenty-nine Marquette players were enlisted in service reserves when the season started, and more are signing up . . . Ace sophomore Johnny Strzykalski's last name is pronounced "Struw-cal-ski", with the accent on the second syllable . . . Les Kalchik, big tackle, holds the Marquette shotput record at 46 feet, 7 inches.
Baseball fans on the Campus are almost 100 per cent in their support of the St. Louis Cardinals in the red-hot pennant race in the National League. Dodger fans are few and far between. The World Series, however, will find a sharp division of opinion, as the world's champion Yankees also have their supporters on the Hill. This column will take the Cards over the Yankees in a long series. Biggest source of worry, however, to Card fans is the fear that the pennant race will wear the fine Cardinal pitching staff down. Mort Cooper, Max Lanier, John Beasley, and company have been seeing heavy duty of late, and are likely to enter the series with but little rest, while the Yankee hurling corps will once again be fresh from an easy penultrium.
At random: Clint Kanaga, Kansas sports editor last fall, has received his commission in the marine corps. He expects to be home on furlough in about two weeks, and plans to visit on the campus . . . "Phog" Allen is another University Cardinal rooter, as he is a close friend of the Card's Branch Rickey . . . Morale on the Kansas State campus has taken a tremendous upswing since the easy victory last week over Kansas Wesleyan at Salina . . . South American boy, Hector Gil, slayed the Oklahoma football team and coaches recently when he reported for his first football practice wearing undershirt and drawers beneath his football uniform. Gil had never seen a football game, but had played soccer . . . Jayhawk football fans were favorably impressed last week by the work of sophomore Hoyt Baker, and are expecting him to assist Ray Evans with the scoring chores against Marquette Saturday . . . A good-sized freshman squad is working out daily under the direction of coach Wayne Replogle on the practice field east of the stadium, and will soon be ready for scrimmage duty against the varsity.
Jayhawks Use Seahawk Plays
Coach Gwinn Henry has appropriated a few plays from Bernie Bierman's Iowa Cadets, and is hoping his Jayhawks can execute them as successfully this Saturday against Marquette as did the Seahawks last Saturday against the baffled Kansas squad.
Practice sessions this week have been devoted largely to running through new plays. Particularly stressed has been the running attack, which last week netted only 30 yards and a single first down against the mammoth Cadet line.
Standout in scrimmages this week has been big Charlie Black, basketball forward, whose handling of an end position has been a source of encouragement to the coaching staff. Black is particularly adept at snagging passes, and has also exhibited defensive ability.
In the backfield, little "Boots" Adams has been seeing considerable action with the first string, and has shown promise. Ray Evans, backfield ace, was slowed down somewhat yesterday afternoon by a hip injury, but is expected to be ready for first-line duty Saturday against the Hilltoppers.
Gene Roberts, injured sophomore flash, has not suited up this week, and probably will see no action against the powerful Golden avalance squad. He has worked out some, however, in warm-ups.
Lewis Musick, sophomore redhead
from California, has taken over Gene Long's guard position in practice. Long has been laid up with an injury, but is expected to be ready for action by Saturday. Big Den Johnson, sophomore from Topeka has been working out with the first string line, replacing Carl Hird another victim of a minor injury.
Iowa State Drops Polo For Duration
Iowa State College yesterday further cut down its war-time sports program, as polo was dropped for the duration. The move was announced by Colonel Herbert R. Odell, head of the military department of the college.
During the 1941-42 season the Cyclones, under the direction of Lieutenant Paul D. Strickland, won four and lost two matches. Among the quartet's victories was a 14 to 2 triumph over their Big-Six rivals from Missouri University.
Reasons for the dropping of the sport was given as transportation difficulties, and the shortage of time and materials.
WILKINS NAMED FROSH COACH
Lyle Wilkins, ace Kansas State
fullback of last season, has been
named head freshman football coach
for this fall. The Aggie frosh are
scheduled to begin practice this
week, as soon as Wilkin's assistants
have been named.
Have you noticed that Hitler's boasts and threats have of late turned to excuses and alibies?
Jayhawk Athletes Are Now Wearing Khaki
Many an athlete, who last year wore the crimson and the blue, is wearing khaki gray this fall, a checkup in the athletic office of the University has revealed.
The Jayhawker basketball, football, track,and baseball teams are all represented in the services.
From the gridiron squad to the army infantry has gone big Red Ettinger, whose play at the fullback position as a
From the gridiron squad big Red Ettinger, whose play sophomore last year was regarded as outstanding. Ettinger was also a member of the basketball and track squads. Ray Niblo, Don Pollom, and Irvin Hayden are three other members of last year's backfield who are now in the
BOB JOHNSON
services. All of the men would have been eligible for competition this fall had they returned to school.
Pollom was also a member of coach Bill Hargiss' track team, while Hayden was an outfielder on the baseball nine.
Bob Hogan, first string end last fall is now in the army air corps.

Enrollment In New Program Totals 1,800
Department of physical education personnel and equipment is being strained to the utmost this year to meet the requirements of the University's new war-time physical conditioning program, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, in charge of the program, stated today.
"The department plans to use every available acre of ground in the program." Allen said. "Even then, we will be cramped for space."
In addition to the University students enrolled in the new program, hundreds of navy men and 50 Civilian Pilot Training students must also be given physical education accommodations, it was pointed out.
Dr. Allen pointed out that 1,800 University men had enrolled in the program. The department had anticipated only 1,500 enrollments.
Allen stated that it was the plan
Allen stated that this year the department must handle 1,800 students with the same equipment and a smaller teaching personnel than last year handled 400 men who enrolled in optional physical education courses.
