Ft. Riley Wins Cavalry Title
The crack cavalry replacement team from Ft. Riley will furnish formidable opposition to the squad of the Kansas All-Stars in a grid contest played at Manhattan this Saturday.
Ft. Riley's cavalry replacement center eleven won the nation's cavalry football championship Sunday by routing Ft. Bliss gridsters, 32-0, in Austin stadium in El Paso. Ben Sheridan, Notre Dame's breakaway back with All-American honors in 1939, passed to Albie Litwak for the first score, Brown scored twice, Trosko, and Henderson completed the scoring. Clint Meadows drop-kicked for two points after touchdowns.
Ft. Riley made 17 first downs to 7 made by Ft. Bliss, in total yardage gained from scrimmage, Ft. Riley led 334 to 89.
The 34 senior football players named from 12 Kansas colleges will include gridsters who were outstanding on college gridirons this fall. Keith Caywood and Gordon Hoyt, Emporia State's twin backfield stars; Kayo Emmot, seat-back who for three years sparkplugged and called the signals for Washburn; John Hancock, K. State's 60 minute center; Frank Barnhart, K. State's all-Big Six end; Larry Timmons, fast Baker guard; and Don O'Connor, St. Benedict's fullback and leader in scoring in Central Conference competition, will be just a few who will see action Saturday.
The All-Stars held their first practice Monday, with a morning and afternoon session. Two practices were held yesterday and today. Tomorrow and Friday the squad will taper off training periods to one daily. All drills will be conducted in the Kansas State College Memorial stadium.
Missouri Cinderella Boy Makes Good, Wow! ★★★ ★★★
'Red' Wade Makes 2nd All Big Six
From a boy who was declared to be a cripple for life to a place on the Associated Press' second All Big Six football team as a sophomore is the record of Maurice "Red" Wade, University of Missouri quarterback.
Hargiss Starts Tryouts For Indoor Tracksters
Melvin Seeyle, star of the K-State-K.U. game here two years ago when the Aggies were beaten in the final seconds, 33 to 32, was recently appointed freshman basketball coach at Kansas State. Seeyle has been
At the hospital they performed four operations. The ankle improved with each operation. He stayed in bed for five months and then wore a brace around the hospital for three months.
His ankle was swollen to twice its normal size but "Red" gritted his teeth and waited. After two years of crippling around, he was taken to a hospital in St. Louis. His family was very poor but friends saw to it that he was provided for.
He was finally allowed to go home. He soon discarded the brace and started taking long walks to strengthen his leg. He went back to school that fall and tried out for the Mountain Grove, Mo., junior high team. John "Hi" Simmons was high school coach then and is now scout for the Missouri football team.
In 1932 after "Red" had injured his ankle, the doctor told the Wade family that there was nothing to be done, the boy would be a lifelong cripple. The doctors did not know what the trouble was although they called it inflammatory rheumatism, tuberculosis of the bone, and osteomyelitis.
He never made the grade at Mountain Grove so he transferred to Monett, Mo., where his brother, Lowell, had been appointed coach. Here he blossomed into a real star. He returned to Mountain Grove in
Thirty men answered Coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss' first call for practice at Memorial stadium Monday night in preparation for the indoor track season.
The indoor schedule has not yet been completed, but coach Hargiss hopes to have it arranged by the last of the week.
Trys Out for Team
Hargiss explained to the track candidates that they will
pend this week limbering up with intensive conditioning start-
ing next week. ___
In the dashes will be lettermen Ted Scott, Don Pollom, and Fred Eberhardt; Pollom also runs the hurdles. John Michener and Jim Cordell are the returning lettermen in pole vault. The only letterman in the weights will be Ralph Schaake who also high jumps.
This year's squad will be built around the eight returning lettermen from last years teams. Hargiss will be counting heavily on Dick Edwards, outstanding Big Six miler and two miler, in the distance runs. Clarence Miller will be Edward's running mate.

was any work he could do. It seems there was and "Red" became a candidate for the Bengal frosh team in 1939.
He created a near-riot on the squad with his feat of punting and passing with either nand. His ability was recognized and he was allowed to lay out last year to strengthen his body.
Faurot from Same Town
Not having the money to attend the state university, Wade approached Don Faurot, football mentor of the Tigers and also a Mountain Grove boy, and asked if there
This year he started playing varsity ball and the rest is pretty well known. During the season he carried the ball 105 times for a total of 681 yards. This was an average of 6.49 yards a try.
In a year marked by the presence of an unusually large number of brilliant sophomore backs, Wade led them all, especially as far as offense was concerned. "Red" would have been a started on any other team in the conference but was forced to do substitute work for the scintilating Harry Ice.
"Red," who still has a deep scar on his ankle, has one more game to play this season. The Tigers will face the Fordham Rams in the Sugar Bowl New Year's day.
Wade, in his next two years of collegiate competition, should prove to be one of the greatest backs ever developed at Missouri, if not in the entire Valley.
