SUNDAY: NOVEMBER 16, 1941.
BIG SIX VICTORY NO. 2
Saturday in the most exciting game played in years, our Jayhawkers displayed the same courage and fighting spirit they have exhibited in every other game this season, and beat a high-class Kansas Aggie eleven which was good enough to defeat Nebraska and South Carolina.
Dead tired in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, Henry's "ironmen" rallied twice under the hot sun to finally edge out the Aggies. Typical example of the never-say-die spirit of the Kansas team was exemplified in the attitude of their two fine sophomore backs, Ray Evans and Ray Niblo. Evans, sick all week with flu and at present confined in the student hospital, gave everything he had until he could hardly stand up. Niblo, believe it or not, played most of the game with a painful broken hand.
Denzel Gibbens and Ralph Miller, in the opinion of this corner, turned in the greatest performances of their outstanding careers. Gibbens, who sprinted 45 yards to score against Marquette and nearly got away for touchdowns twice last week at West Virginia, had a field day. His 83-yard kick-off return was a masterpiece and his short 12-yard jaunt in the final quarter to win the ball game provided an indescribable thrill. Miller's passing was flawless and his signal-calling in the latter part of the contest was cool and efficient.
Ulrich looked like an All-American, adding pass-receiving to a brilliant defensive performance. George Dick, right end, was also a standout, and was one of the two K.U. 60-minute men. Miller was the other Jay-hawk who played the entire game. All of the Kansas tackles did well—Meade, Merkel, Tenenbaum, and Hodges. No one could ask more from a pair of guards than the ability Bob Fluker and Jay Kern exhibited yesterday. Their all-around play was beautiful to watch.
Paul Hardman looked like another Don Pierce with a line-backing job that would have made any All-American proud. In the backfield, Nible and Evans looked good on defense, and Evans passed well in his brief appearance in that role. Don Follom's fine catch and run for 30 yards late in the final period set-up the deciding Kansas touchdown.
The student body and faculty should certainly be proud of one of the most valiant Jaybawk teams in the history of the school, and equally praising of the best football coach in the valley. Gwinn Henry, who in the face of many obstacles, has given Mount Oread three home triumphs over Washington Iowa State, and Kansas State. Give Henry two more years and like Dana Bible at Texas, he'll have a team which will open everyone's eyes. Regardless of the outcome of the Missouri game next Saturday, it has been a very successful season, and Kansas is assured of at least fourth place in the final Big Six standings.
GAME SIDE-LINES
Saturday was a near perfect day for a football game—sunny, cloudless and warm . . . John Hancock, K-State center and Big Six wrestling champion, was the Aggie line star, backing up the powerful State forward wall in a mastful style . . . Ulrich made the first two tackles for Kansas, and Evans followed up three out of the next five . . . Kern got Rokey for an eight-yard loss which forced the Wildcats to kick . . .
Bill Engelland, rangy Aggie end, dropped Niblo for a six-yard loss just when it looked like Niblo was away for a long gain . . . After Miller had completed three successive passes, Frank Barnhart, Wildcat wingman, hollered, "Keep awake, he isn't much good." . . . Ray Rokey lost his shirt to George Dick. Dick tore it halfway off him . . .
When Miller plunged the ball on 3rd down and eight yards to go, Gwinn Henry nearly expired. However, Miller more than redeemed himself a few moments later with a 67-yard kick . . . On one end run Mike Zeleznak got lose from Ulrich, and then, in turn, dropped the ball, and was lucky to recover it . . . Ray Rokey got away for a 40-yard run in the closing minutes of the first half but the Aggies didn't have time to keep on rolling . . .
During the quarter, Hardman twice was the first man down to tackle the Wildcat punt returner . . . . Miller's 64-yard punt in the third period was a beauty . . . Once when Ulrich was tackled after receiving a Miller toss, Hancock of the Aggies grabbed the ball. Ulrich went right after Hancock but the referee gave the ball back to Kansas . . . .
Kansas State had Gwinn Henry scared to death in the third quarter for the Jayhawks were tired. Henry commented, "the boys are worn out, and there's no one to put in. We sure miss Evans out there." . . . Vandaveer came out of the game and wheezed, "it sure is hot. . . . That sun is really beating down." . . . Was pleased by the vicious tackling of the entire Kansas team . . . Niblo's flying tackle of line-smasher Kent Duwe was typical of the Jayhawkers' defensive work . . .
Joe Crawford, reserve guard, was good in his brief appearances . . . Vandy's deflected kick on the second extra point was the most unusual kick seen in the last four years . . . Miller's open field tackle of Bortka was a shoe-topper . . . Ulrich stopped Wilkins twice in succession to slow up one K-State drive . . . All in all, it was a thriller from start to finish . . .
Knock Phi Delt's Out, 6-0
Beta Score In Opening Minutes
Fighting an even battle after the first minute of play, the Phi Delt's lost to Beta Theta Pi yesterday morning by a 6-0 score. The passing combination of Bill Mowery to John Short stood out all during the game. Sigma Chi tippled before the Phi Psi's 12-7 and the Pfugerville Pflashes rallied to win over Delta Chi 33-0. Phi Gam "B" and Phi Psi "C" won from Kappa Sig "B" and Sigma Nu "B" respectively.
On the first play of the game, Bill Mowery threw a 40-yard pass to John Short and on the next play, Mowery ran six yards to score the only touchdown of the game. Brilliant defensive play marked play all during the game. Bryon Kern and Dave Rrager, Phi Delt's, and Tom Lilliard and Fred Eberhardt, Beta's, were the mainstays of their lines. Bill Mowery and Phil Delt John Wells were the backfield aces.
Bill Hodge passed the Phi Psil's to another win yesterday over Sigma Chi. Hodge threw his first scoring pass to Jack Horner during the opening quarter. Then he tossed one to Bob Siddons for another counter. Both extra points were missed. In the third quarter Van Hartman intercepted a pass and ran for a score. Larry Nelson kicked the extra point. "Sonny" Jones and Bill Hodge sparked the Phi Psil's. Van Hartman and Eldridge King were the best Sigma Chi's.
The Pfugerville Pifashes rolled all over Delta Chi 32-0. Jack Pattle scored 14 points, Harry Huff 12, and Perry Petterson scored 6. Delta Chi Bob Innis and John Pitsch, Pfugerville, starred.

Replogle Has Plenty of Promising Freshmen
A freshman team, which while not up to the caliber of last year's crack squad, will send some fine prospects up to the K.U. varsity, is prepping under Freshman Coach Wayne Replogle.
The yearling mentor is particularly high on the center of his freshman line, where a fine pivot man and some hard driving-guards hold forth. Replogle considers these men superior to the men at the same positions on the 1940 freshman squad.
One of the finest varsity prospects is Junius Penny, former all-state tackle at Lawrence high school. Penny', who played center as a high school sophomore, has been moved back to that position and is doing a great job as a line backer. Other freshman centers showing up well are Lewis Musick of Redondon Beach, Cal., and Bob Barnes of Arma.
Grier Zimmerman of Wellington and John Herron of Topeka top the list of guards. Zimmerman is a made-over fullback. Dick Rosenfield of Junction City, Ivan Keeesse of Coldwater, Bill Skeens of Paola, and Vic Wall of Mahaska are additional prospects at guard.
wingmen are Otto Schnellbacher of Sublette, Bill Brill of Kansas City, Kan., and Bob Dole and Bud Smith, both of Russell.
Six yearling tackles have shown possibilities this fall. They are Dick Channell of Kansas City, Kan. Don Johnson of Toppea, John Bender of Russell, John Reber of Kansas City, Mo, J. C. Monroe of Independence, Mo., and Mark McLain of Sun City. Channell and McLain each tip the scales at around 230 pounds.
Freshman ends run mainly to men who are lanky and not too heavy. The best of the yearling
One of the most promising ball carriers at K.U. in recent years is Gene Roberts, 180 pound halfback from Kansas City, Mo. Other likely candidates at the same position include Joe Roberts of Wichita, Kenneth Adams of Bartlesville, Okla., Robert Stevenson of Tescott, Floyd McHenry of Kansas City, Mo., and Don Smutz of Protection.
Bill Palmer of Topeka and Jim Martin of Wichita have shown varsity possibilities at fullback. Best bets at quarterback appear to be Heath Baker of Peabody, Kenny Thompson of Kansas City, Kan., and Robert Boots of Welda.
