Fiji's Take
A GOOD SEASON FOR K.U.
Missouri gave Gwinn Henry's Jayhawkers their sixth beating of the current season yesterday afternoon and yet, when you stop to consider this fall's showing. Kansas did all right—quite well taking everything into consideration. The coaching staff has nothing t oregret this fall.
That Hubert Ulrich was the only regular that returned from the '40 team and that Gwinn Henry opened every game this season with five to seven sophomores in his first eleven, it is reall ysurprising we did finish so high in the conference standings. No one, with an inexperienced team, should feel bad about losing to veteran teams like Temple, Marquette, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
It was the most successful season since 1937. The Jayhawks cinched fourth place with victories over Iowa State's Cyclones 13-0 and the Kansas Aggies 20-16. If Oklahoma conquers Nebraska Nov. 29, Kansas will close the season in a third-place tie with the Cornhuskers.
We suspect that Gwinn Henry will have a high-class team in '42 and a Big Six championship crew in '43. With juniors Hardman, Hagen, Hayden, and Pollom, and sophomores Evans, Niblo, Ettinger, Hodges, Tenenbaum, Githens, Long, Crawford, Dick, Lowery, and Altman returning for action, Gwinn will have many experienced men. Toss in a few sophomores to-be in freshmen Gene Roberts, Dick Channel, Junius Penny, Bill Brill, Otto Schnellbacher, Kenny Thompson, and Bill Palmer and the Jayhawks will be tough next fall.
MISSOURI TOO GOOD
If this corner ever say a nastier day for football, it doesn't know when or where. Saturday was one of those days when the spectator is glad he is watching the game and not playing, and the bench warmer gets some satisfaction for his predicament in that he has a heavy sheep-skin coat to keep himself warm.
The briefest analysis of Missouri's greatest team in years is—too much Ice and too much Steuber. When this corner witnessed the play of Golding of Oklahoma, Bradley of Nebraska, Kuzma of Michigan, and DeCorrevont of Northwestern in various games this autumn, it never occurred that there might be a pair of backs we had yet to witness that generated enough speed to make the others look like loafers. Yet never, even in the days of Cardwell and LaNoue, has the Big Six had a duo of backs as fast as Ice and Steuber. If, by remote chance Ice was stopped, he lateralled to Steuber and the ball continued to travel. Reverse the situation and you had the same results.
The Missouri line was big and rugged. Much bigger than the pregame weight charts indicated—in fact, according to Missouri figures their starting line was lighter than Kansas'. Tackles Norm Wallach and Bob Brenton of the Tigers were listed as weighing 212 and 205 pounds respectively, and both loomed every bit as big as Oklahoma's 230-pound Howie Teeter. Not venturing rashly, both probably tip the scales at 225. Bob Jeffries, M.U.'s great 192-pound left guard, was larger than his high school and college side-kick, Bob Brenton. Incidentally, along with Brenton and Jeffries, Tigers Ice, Bouldin, Keith, and Greenwood all performed in Kansas City, Mo., high school football.
NO ALIBIS BUT . . .
Missouri won and that's the way it will go in the record book. However, one can't help thinking that the weather certainly aided Mizzou to a great extent. The turf in the stadium was soggy, but just firm enough for Ice and Steuber to run swiftly over it without any apparent trouble. Thus Missouri's potent ground-gaining attack wasn't hindered to any extent.
The cold and the wetness of the ball did handicap the vaunted Kansas aerial attack. Statistics show that Kansas State ran over the Jayhawk line a
The Beta team took the ball to their own 40-yard line where they lost the ball on downs. Conley then tossed 37 yards to Curt Hinshaw who was tagged on the Beta four-yard line. On the next play, Conley flipped a short one five yards to the versatile Chain Healy for a second touchdown. The Phi Gam's led 13 to 0 at the end of the first half.
Football Crown Goes To Phi Gamma Delta For Second Year
The purple-and-white clad boys of Phi Gamma Delta wasted no time in whipping a rugged Beta team which had, before yesterday's game, been strong enough to hold its opponents to 13 points. On the third play of the game, the stellar Conley bulleted a 15-yard pass to end "Swede" Olson for a score. Jim Stuker placekicked the extra point and the Fijis were in front to stay, 7 to 0.
With Werling sparking their offense, Alpha Chi Sigma annexed the six-man football title, edging out Rock Chalk Co-op 18 to 13 in the season's most thrilling sextet contest. Werling tallied one touchdown and passed to teammates Mackie and Edwards for the other two A.C.S. counters. Werts and Kretzmeier each chalked up a six-pointer for the Co-op team.
Intramural Title
By MIKE O'DONNELL
play as he does in making Fiji aerial attack. Conley passed for the two Phi Gam touchdowns, and completed 8 out of 12 passes.
Winning their third intramural touch-football championship in the last five years, Phi Gamma Delta successfully defended its 1940 crown by downing a scrappy but outclassed Beta Theta Pi eleven 13 to 6 in Saturday morning's playoff final. The Fiji's three titles are for the year '37, '40, and '41. In 1938, Bob Allen led Phi Kappa Psi to a championship while Vance Hall paced the Beta's to the title in '39.
Star of the Phi Gam triumph was freshman John Conley, who tips the scales at 200 pounds, and looks as impressive on defensive play as he does in handling the $ ^{*} $
Early in the second half, the Beta's started a drive which resulted in their only score. Bill Mowery, the Beta's fine passer, completed a series of short passes, advancing the pigskin 35 yards for a touchdown. The scoring thrust was on a pass from Mowery to "Dub" Hartley. Mowery completed 6 out of 18 attempted passes. Game
