UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1941
The unexpected finally happened this year when the 12-man football team apparently was recognized by the officials. One instance of this sort occurred in Kansas during the middle of the season when Sterling College played Oklahoma City University. Perhaps as an experiment more than a remedy for poor quarter-backing, the coaches of these two schools called the plays during the game. Their offensive technique worked quite well but as for defense it was the same old story for both teams ran up good-sized scores.
TEAM GETS HELP
One of Kansas' opponents this year, Temple, used the same technique but with a different twist. After taking a 46 to 0 drubbing from Michigan State, Ray Morrison changed his entire offensive system two days before the Holy Cross game. Since Morrison realized that his players had other subjects on their minds and also that he was tired of "this forgetting of the right plays when the occasion arises," he wrote the numbers of the plays on his quarterbacks pants. Temple won, 31 to 13.
When Morrison coached at Southern Methodist he used the same thing "It's legal and has been done before," he said. On rainy days it is necessary to use tape but this is not so good for it peels off.
Allen "Red" Lindow, former Washington University pass-receiving star who performed here against the Jayhawkers this fall, found his football ability was acceptable in the Army as well as in college. He was scheduled to report to the Army Nov. 17 but had delayed his entrance while investigating a Guatemala hemp plantation which he believed important to national defense.
FOOTBALL IN ANY LANGUAGE
He finally appeared for induction Nov. 22 and two and one-half hours later he was performing, not in olive drab but in blue moleskins, for the Jefferson Barracks Blue Raiders as they were downing the College of Idaho, 21 to 0.
HALL STILL HOT
Varsity iottings: Paul Turner still has a red-hot one-handed shot from the side of the court. . . John Buescher, reporting a day late from vacation, shows lack of conditioning. . . "Pass, pass, pass," "Phog" Allen. . . Warren Israel showed flashes of good passing form and then reversed completely. . . Ralph Miller concentrating more on team-work than on shots. . . "Cut out the fancy stuff," "Phog" again. . . Vance Hall, still one of the best shots on the team. . . Jack Ballard finding it difficult to keep from hitting the rim as he goes up to intercept opposing shots. . . Charlie Black the same way. . . Don Ettinger's shots either blocked or held ball.
ULRICH ALL BIG SIX
From here and there: Big Six basketball teams start firing away in earnest tomorrow night. Missouri opposes their freshmen while K-State opens at home against Doane College, co-titlist of the Nebraska Collegiate A.A. last year. . . . The Wildcats opening line-up will include Larry Beaumont and George Mendenhal, guards; Danny Howe, center; and Bruce Holman and Jack Horacek, forwards. . . . Hub Ulrich, who was elected honorary captain of the Jayhawkers grid team last week, was named All-Big Six end by the Associated Press today. He also made first teams of United Press and Kansas City Star. . . . Ralph Miller was named to the A.P.'s second team.
SIMON GETS QUOTED
Most encouraging note of the season was seen last night when Jay Simon, basketball sports editor of the Daily Kansan two years ago, was quoted as the day's guest star in Hugh Fullerton's A.P. "Sports Round-up." Quoting from the Coffeyville Journal: "Minnesota finished its season with a record of 17 straight victories. Coffeyville Junior College's Ravens wound up with an unbroken string of 18 triumphs. Up around Minneapolis the fans are raven about the Gophers; down here they really gopher the Ravens". . . . Kansas was the only school besides Missouri to show an attendance increase in home Big Six football games this fall.
Denver U. Appears in First Game
An approaching, tough 18-game schedule is the reason the Jayhawk basketball team is spending better than three hours a day practicing under the watchful eye of Coach "Phog" Allen.
As defending co-champions of the conference, the pressure will be on the Kansans from their very first game of the season against Denver University until their final clash against Missouri.
The only two games this month will find Denver University of the Big Seven conference coming to the campus Dec. 17. The next night, the Jayhawks will invade the Kansas Conference to tackle the Bethel College Gray Maroons.
Besides the regular ten-game Big Six schedule, Allen has arranged a schedule which includes some of the strongest teams in the midwest on his eight-game nonconference card.
During January each team in the Big Six will face K.U. with the first game against Oklahoma here. Jan. 6. After four more games the Jayhawkers then go on a road trip to oppose the Big Ten Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa City, Jan. 29 and two nights later play DePaul University at Chicago. Next on the trip will be the Wichita Wheatshockers at Wichita Feb. 2.
Back home again, the Creighton University Bluejays come down from Omaha to try to make it two straight over Allen's men. Interspersed between the remaining five conference games are two clashes with Oklahoma A. and M., Feb. 20 here and Feb. 25 there. The latter two opponents are members of the Missouri Valley conference.
The final home game of the season is also the final regularly scheduled game for the year, Missouri being the opposition March 6.
Once again the Reds proved victorious over the Whites as Coach Allen put his men through several five-minute scrimmage periods.
VARSITY PRACTICE
Charlie Black, Vance Hall, and Jack Ballard, the starting front line for the Reds, led their team to victory as each scored four points. T. P. Hunter, starting guard with Charlie Walker, made one basket and Warren Israel, substitute guard,

MARVIN SOLLENBERGER
"Solly" started off the season with a bad break by wrenching his knee last Monday in one of the early practice sessions. A regular guard last year, he will probably team with Charlie Walker or T. P. Hunter in the backcourt again this year. He is as yet unable to report for practice.

sank the other goal for their 16 points.
Paul Turner, forward, was the only starter on the Whites to score a basket. Other starters were guards Don Ettinger and Bob Johnson, center Ray Evans, and forward Ralph Miller.
The substitutes did the bulk of the scoring for the Whites and it was the offensive trio which tallied. Bob Fitzpatrick and John Buescher each made a basket and Browder Richmond dropped one free throw for the Whites seventh and final point.
Don Blair and George Dick were in at guards for a while on the White team and Dick Miller replaced Hunter for the Reds.
Marvin Sollenberger is still unable to report for practice because of his knee which he wrenched last Monday. Allen is keeping "Solly" off the court until the knee is completely healed so as to lessen the possibility of any re-injury.
