FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1941.
--or Lounging.
The floral wreath for the day goes down Columbia way. For today Darold Jenkins, 190-pound center of the Tigers, was named to the post of first-string center on the Associated Press All-American team.
There are many All-American teams named but from year to year the AP team is recognized by the majority of fans as the one, truly All-American. For that reason, Jenkins should be especially acclaimed. This is not the first team that he has made. Far from it. But it seems, to this column, the best.
Jenkins, a 22-year old senior from Higginsville, Mo., didn't even letter as a sophomore. He was one of four of the present Missouri squad that played in the Orange Bowl two years ago against Georgia Tech.
He was out of the first ame of this season when the Tigers lost to Ohio State, 12 to 7. Seeing as he made All-American it leads one to think that if Jenkins had been playing, the score might have been different. But that is mere supposition. The point that he did play in the majority of the remaining games and the team was victorious in all of them is an established fact.
With linemen the caliber of Wallach and Jeffries to flank Jenkins and backs such as Steuber, Ice, and Wade to follow them with the ball, it appears as if Missouri should sweeten their coffers by bringing home the Sugar Bowl victory money.
Once again, hats off to Darold Jenkins, the greatest player in the Missouri Valley and the greatest center in the country this year.
19 OF WEST TEAM SELECTED
Only four players remain to be selected by Coaches "Babe" Hollingbery of Washington State and Major "Biff" Jones of Nebraska to complete the 23-man West squad for the East-West Shrine game New Year's day.
A list of players already selected by positions includes Gentry, Washington State; Kutner, Texas; and Stanton, Arizona—ends; Conley, Washington; Reinhard, California; and Eason, Oklahoma—tackles; Frankowski Washington; Thornton, Santa Clara; Daniel, Texas; and Abel, Nebraska—guards; Lindskog, Stanford, center; and backs Albert, Stanford; Sewell Washington State; Casanega, Santa Clara; Jacobs, Oklahoma; Francis, Nebraska; Brumley, Rice; Wilson, Baylor; and Robertson, Southern California.
In running over this list it appears that one more end, tackle, and center will be chosen for certainty and the other player will possibly be a back.
That still leaves the possibility open for Hub Ulrich to receive a bid. However, there are many good ends remaining that also have a chance. Beals of Santa Clara and Meyer of Stanford were two of the very best ends on the coast this year. And then there is Nick Susoeff of Washington State who rated third-team All-American from the AP. A 1 to 4 chance isn't the safest bet in the world but in the case of Ulrich it is certainly worth hoping for.
18 BIG SIX PLAYERS MENTIONED
On the honorable mention list of the AP team were included the entire first team of the Big Six as selected by the Associated Press. This includes Ulrich. Other Big Six players named were Herndon, Nebraska; Teeter, Oklahoma; Harris, Oklahoma; Blue, Nebraska; Lohry, Iowa State; Mathews, Oklahoma; Wade, Missouri; and Zikmund, Nebraska.
The all Big Six players were, as you remember, Ulrich and Preston, ends; Eason and Wallach, tackles; Jeffries and Abel, guards; Jenkins, center; and backs Jacobs, Bradley, Ice, and Steuber.
MORE JAYHAWKERS GONE ASTRAY
Another note of interest on the AP squad was the selection of Ernie Blandin of Tulane as a second team tackle. Blandin was chosen on the first team by United Press was Jenkins.
Blandin is just another example of a Kansas boy making good. He was a star at Leon High School before transferring his talents down South. He is now listed from Keighley, Kan.
Another Tulane player of a year back is tackle Millard White of Arkansas City. He proved his worth time and again for the Green Wave. Other Kansas players of this year or the past who have performed on the gridiron for other state universities include Bob McNutt, Colby, a tackle who went to Nebraska; Wilmar and Leo Bledsoe, flashy Great Bend stars who cavorted for Southern Cal.; Lou and Junior Brock, the Stafford gridsters, who attended Purdue; and of course the Kansas contingent at Missouri—Jeff Davis, Vernon Lightfoot, and Irwin Pitts, all from Coffeyville.
To add to this final list is the news that Gene Spangler, all-state junior college back, is headed for Missouri. First reports had him attending Tulsa but the Coffeyville star who gained 1,004 yards in eight games is leaning towards the Tiger lair at present.
ANOTHER FATHER-SON COMBINE
ODDS AND ENDS: Pete Layden, the all-Southwest Conference fullback from Texas' great team, is a natural all-star. He was chosen centerfielder on the All-American team picked this summer at the National Semi-Pro baseball tournament in Wichita. . . . N. A. Keithley, all-Missouri Valley conference halfback from Tulsa, has been called by the draft. . . . Dick Weber, teammate of "Red" Lindow's at Washington U., teamed up again by enlisting at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis this week. . .
Shades of the Allens: At Richmond U. this year Mac Pitt, j. will play forward on his father's basketball team. The center is Dick Thistlethwaite, son Richmond's football coach and athletic director.

Engineers and business students renewed their rivalry last night as A. K. Psi won a close contest from Kappa Eta Kappa, 19 to 15.
The game, which was rough and delayed by numerous fouls, showed a very even score all the way until Chet Lebsack and Ken Harden each tossed in a field goal for A.K. Psi in the closing seconds. Up to that time, $ ^{c} $
The game, which was rough showed a very even score all the Ken Harden each tossed in a fieing seconds. Up to that time,$^{6}$ neither team had ever had a lead of more than three points.
Lebsack was high score man for A. K. Psi with 7 points, while Vernon McKale tied this total for Kappa Eta Kenne
Jayhawk Co-op took John Moore to the tune of 33 to 13 in a slow game in which Sommers and Gilliland, Jayhawk guards, kept the John Moore five too far away from the basket. Clarence Rutherford led the Jayhawk attack with a total of 10 tallies.
Phi Psi "C", led by Bob Barton, who tossed in 20 points, swamped Delta Tau "C" 42 to 6. Delt's were too well-guarded, and didn't have time to get set for shots. Harold Van Slyck, Delt standout, made four of his team's six points.
In the "C" division, T.K.E. "C" won from their hapless opponents, Beta "D", 30 to 3. Mackie and Rosenfield, Teke guards, held Beta scoring down, while their teammates were piling up an average of six points per man. Dick Royer sank a free toss for the Beta's early in the game, and Jud Townley made the lone Beta field goal in the second half.

Firing in baskets with uncanny rapidity Herb Kauffman and Kenny Thompson paced the freshmen in their practice scrimmage last night. Kauffman was teamed with Lewis Musick, Bob Heaston, varsity player Charlie Black, and Coach "Mit" Allen. Kenny Thompson played with Bill Brill, Armand Dixon, Stan Hansen, and Otto Schnellbacher.
Brill continued to play a game which definitely stamps him as the best defensive man on the squad. Kauffman played the best last night of any time since he has been out
"Mit" Allen said Kauffman was developing in good shape.
Several players were unable to be out again last night because of excessive quizzes. "Mit" stresses the importance of good grades to every man on his squad.
