Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
There was a wide diversity of opinion in the pressbox Saturday afternoon following the Iowa Cadet debacle as to the showing of the Jayhawkers. Some visiting scribes described the Kansas play as "lousy," while one writer stated that the Jays made a better showing than any team he had ever seen get beat so badly. To this observer it seemed that the Kansas squad made neither a particularly good nor particularly bad showing—it just didn't get a chance to show. Very little could be learned of the team's strength, so powerful were the sailors. Certainly the running attack is as much a question-mark as ever, with men like Altman, Roberts, Baker, Linquist, and Sherwood still largely untested this fall. About all the crowd learned of the Jayhawks is that Evans' passing will be a definite threat to any opposition, but that was conceded before the season opened. The rest of the time, it was all Bernie Bierman's great outfit.
Interested spectator at one of the Jayhawk football practice sessions last week was Ray "Archie" Harris, one of the greatest middle-distance runners in the track history of this university. Harris is still co-holder, with Mitchell of Kansas State, of the Big Six outdoor two-mile record. He is at present employed at a Kansas City quartermaster's depot, where he is engaged in defense work. It was Archie's first return to the campus, where he made such a name as a runner, in more than a year. Harris is still a great admirer of his old track coach, Bill Hargiss, now on the coaching staff of the Brooklyn Dodgers for the football season, and of the greatest of all Kansas runners, Glen Cunningham. Said Harris, never noted for his good luck himself as he was handicapped through most of his college career by an ankle injury: "I've never seen a coach who could get so many bad breaks as Bill (Hargiss), and still come smiling back for more." Harris last year did some coaching at Maryville college in Missouri. He is expecting to be called to army service by the first of next year.

Jawhawk football fans have already seen their season's quota of stars on the Seahawk aggregation alone, but many more brilliant gridsters are scheduled to perform here before the season ends. For instance this Saturday brings Johnny (Tenstrike) Strzykalski, Marquette's running and passing sensation, who is expected to make Hillitop followers forget the exploits of last year's Jimmy Richardson. Al Klug, big tackle, is another Marquette star who is scheduled to gain national recognition this fall. On October 17, the Oklahoma Sooners will display such stars as Jim Tyree and Dub Lamb, scheduled to be the best end duo in the Big Six; Clare Morford, sturdy guard; and Jack Steele, a really great blocking back. The Nebraska Corhuskers, scheduled to perform here October 31, will be headed by A Zikmund, who may give Missouri's Bob Steuber a run for his money as the conference best back. Aiding Zikmund will be Howard Debus, the gifted junior; Joe Byler, and Vie Schleich, top-netch tackles. Not to be forgotten, of course, in the list of candidates for national honors to be observed at Memorial Stadium this fall is our own Ray Evans, who will be second to few backs in this section.

Beta's Hold Intramural Championship
F. BAUSCH'
By Earl Shurtz
in high point singles awards, charms were won by Larry McSpadden, Chain Healey, Roscoe Hambrie, and Swede Olson, all Phi Gam's and Warren Newcomer, Phi Delt. The awards are presented annually to the five men who compete the largest number of times in the intramural program.
Phi Gamma Delta will be the defending champion when competition in eleven-man football gets underway. The Phi Gam's last year took the Division I title, winning five games and tying one. The Division II leadership was shared by the Beta's and Pfugerville Pflashes.
Intramural competition this year finds a new sweepstakes champion, Beta Theta Pi, in the driver's seat. The Beta's last spring nosed out the then defending champions, Phi Gamma Delta, massing a total of 1,333.43 points. The Phi Gam's finished second with 1,310.35 points, and Phi Delta Theta took third place in sweepstakes competition with 1,162.35 points.
In six-man football competition, Alpha Chi Sigma won the Division I, and the Alpha Chi Sigma team finished in front in division II. In "B" competition, top honors went to he Betas, with the Phi Gam's finishing in the runnerup position. Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Delta were division leaders. Weather Storms Tennis
In tennis competition, 14 teams competed, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Kappa Sigma reached the semi-finals, but further play was prevented by inclement weather. Bad weather also prevented the completion of the tennis singles. Phi Delta Theta, however, was named winner on a point basis. Men reaching the semi-finals were Thoront, Sigma Nu; Harvey; SigmaNu; Stauffer, Phi Delta Theta; and Lindeman, Phi Delta Theta.
The Newman Club horseshoe pitchers beat out Phi Kappa Psi for the team championship. The Newman men and Rock Chalk Co-op were divisional winners. The singles championship finals was an all-Newman affair, with Perry Fleagle defeating John Tweed. Newman was also the organization winner.
Tom Wallon, Beta Theta Pi, won

K. O. Kuersteiner, director of the University symphony orchestra, reports that there are still openings for violins and 1 violas in the string section and that additional brass instruments, particularly French horns, are needed. Anyone playing any of these instruments may contact Kuersteiner at his office, 125 Frank Strong hall.
The first fall rehearsal was held this afternoon. The concert schedule was discussed and plans were completed for a picnic to be held Saturday at Tonganoxie, the first of a series of social events for the group.

Juniors Dominate Marquette Lineup
Eight juniors, two sophomores and one senior loom as the personnel in Marquette university's varsity football lineup as Coach Tom E. Stidham's Hilltoppers open their arduous 1942 campaign against the Jayhawkers here at Lawrence Saturday afternoon.
Stidham, as usual has no comment of his varsity array but his continued use of certain players, many of whom as sophomores last fall had fought their way up to first-string positions by mid-season, indicates which way the Hilltop gridiron winds are blowing. In fact, the big Indian apparently is so well set
*on his starters that he has been devoting more than the usual attention to his second team in recent drills.
Lone senior in the Marquette startling lineup here next Saturday will be speedy Al Klug, Milwaukee, left tackle. The sophomores who appear to be sewing up varesity berths are Johnny Strzykalski, Milwaukee, or Wayne (Rusty) Johnston, Lubbock, Tex., at left halfback, and Carl Schuette, Sheboygan, Wis., or Johnny Rudan, Racine, Wis., at fullback.
BOB STEUBER of Missouri
Juniors will round out the Golden Avalanche line combination with John Harrington, Milwaukee, at left end, and Ray Kuffel, Milwaukee, on the right wing; Les Kalchik, Milwaukee, at right tackle; George Groves, Rossville, Ill., at left guard; Charles Reger, Toledo, Ohio, at right guard; and Mel Maceau, Milwaukee, at center.
Bob Steuber Saturday began a campaign which Missouri University fans hope will gain him national recognition, as he led the Tigers to a 31 to 0 victory over the Ft. Riley Cavalry Replacement Training center squad at St. Joseph, Mo. Steuber scored his team's first touchdown, and was an offensive threat throughout the game.
Junius ready for action include Jack Hildebrandt, Milwaukee, right end; Jimmy Sullivan, Chicago, and Fritz, center; Aloys Vogt, Milwaukee, quarterback; Bob O'Haran, Arlington Heights, Ill., and Clair Voss, Antigo, Wis., halffaces, and Hal Eigner, Milwaukee, fullback.
Working with the two sophomores in the backfield will be a pair of Milwaukee juniors - Quarterback Bobby Dams and Right Halfback Ray Carlson. Last season Carlson was first string right end.
Maceau, however, has been on the casualty list and if he remains out of action next weekend he probably will be replaced by lanky Bob Fritz, Milwaukee junior who earned a letter last fall.
Maceau Is Injured
Only senior among Marquette's immediate varsity understudies is Franklin Schweers, Shawano, Wis., who has shown vast offensive and defensive improvement at left end.
Sophomores round out the remainder of the immediate replacements with Bill Caldwell, Durant, Okla, and (continued to page four).
