THE BOWL SITUATION
Yesterday's game results threw the "bowl" candidates into a dreadful mess. Baylor's incredible 7-7 tie of Texas and Pittsburgh's startling 13-0 win over Fordham rated as the East's top team, dumped them temporarily from post-season gossip. However, before Saturday's surprises Texas was headed for the Rose Bowl and Fordham Rams' had their grips packed for New Orleans' Sugar Bowl.
The Texas A. & M.-Texas battle at College Station a few weeks hence should determine which of these two great Southwestern gridiron machines will journey to a New Year's Day classic January 1.
Stanford's "T" boys will play host to Texas, Texas A. & M., Duke, or Missouri. Missouri, although the odds are against them, may be seriously considered if they can administer shellackings to Oklahoma and Kansas in their closing frays. If Wallace Wade, Duke University, and the team all favor a bowl trip, the Blue Devils might spend the Christmas holidays in Pasadena, California. However, Wade and the University are now strongly opposed to a post-season contest.
Frank Leahy, a bowl coach for the past two years, has gone on record against taking his Fighting Irish of Notre Dame to any bowl. However, if the Irish can whip Northwestern, they may be induced to make a trip either west or south. Mississippi and Alabama more than likely will be the two southern representatives in the Orange and Sugar Bowls.
The two once-beaten service teams, Army and Navy, will not be allowed to consider an offer so Fordham still looms as a threat.
A TEAM STRENGTH YEAR
This year, as never before, has been one marked by a great amount of publicity concerning the relative merits of the standout teams of the nations rather than the building up of individual stars. No single player has monopolized the headlines in the manner Tom Harmon of Michigan did last autumn or in the spectacular way Jay Berwanger of Chicago, on an inferior ball team, rated all-time recognition from his play in 1935.
There are many exceptional backs who have shown all-star ability, but the newspapers have stressed team talent due to the various powerhouses the country around. Despite the presence of Steve Lach, you read about Duke as a team. Minnesota's record has been built up due to a stone-wall line headed by Wildung, Levy, Fitch, and Flick. Against the Gophers forward wall Washington made 85, Michigan 135, and Northwestern 32 yards respectively. Bruce Smith of Minnesota and Pete Layden of Texas were both injured but their substitutes carried on where they left off.
The season has produced many potential All-American backfield men. When the all-star selections reel off the presses in December the names of Nelson of Alabama, Smith of Minnesota, Sinkwich of Georgia, Albert of Stanford, Lyden and Crain of Texas, Hovious and Hapes of Mississippi, Notre Dame's trio (Evans, Bertelli, Juzwik), Busik of Navy, Stiff of Pennsylvania, Kuzma of Michigan, Wilson of Baylor, Jacobs of Oklahoma, Graham of Northwestern, and Dudley of Virginia will rate high, but it has been primarily a season featuring comparative team strength.

Memories of `38 Surprise Upset Of Aggies 27-7
Civil war breaks out in Kansas Saturday as the state splits to line up solidly behind the team of its choice, the Jayhawks or the Wildcats.
It's the thirty-ninth renewal of the gridiron rivalry between the University of Kansas and Kansas State College. History shows that the Jayhawks have come out on the long end of the score 22 times, with the Wildcats victorious in 13 games. Three games have been ties.
The state's two main scholastic institutions began football relations in 1902 in a game which saw K.U. coming out on top 16-0. The teams have met every year since, with the single exception of 1910.
Coach Hobbs Adams of Kansas State having chalked up a victory over the Jayhawks in his first year at Manhattan will be out to keep that record clean. Adams' Wildcats will rank as the favorites Saturday, but dope means little in this game.
Biggest upset in recent years in this old rivalry came in 1938, when an underdog Kansas team rose up to flatten Kansas State 27-7. The Jayhawks were not given much chance of victory that day, but just ignored the dope and went on to win by a decisive score.
The Wildcats have walked off with the honors in the last two clashes, 27-6 and 20-0, a state of affairs which has resulted in the Jayhawks looking forward to this game all season.
Kansas State's rating as the favorite comes through a decisive edge on the basis of comparative scores. The Wildcats' downed Nebraska 12-6 after the Huskers had thumped K.U. 32-0 earlier in the season. Kansas State lost to Oklahoma by a 16-0 count, while the Jayhawks bowed to the same team by a score of 38-0.

Class volley ball games will be played next week, Miss Ruth Hoover of the physical education department revealed today. The freshmen will compete against the juniors and the sophomores will play the seniors at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10. Each girl playing on a class team will receive 100 points toward WAA.
The teams are as follows: Freshmen—Ballard, Hoffman, Burkhead, Donna, McCouggage, Kreider, Hamilton, Shoaf, Wynn, Addams, Snyder, Waters, Huff, Chapin; Sophomores—Davison, Hines, Shartel, Davis, Giles, Peck, Stites, Butler, Taylor, Howell, Lawrence, Shuss; juniors—Rader, manager; Irwin, Dodge, Smith, Fronkier, Schaake, Burkhead, Wells, Strubble, Chapple, Roberts, Charles, Moon, Reber.; seniors—Dodge, Herriman, Demint, McAdoo, Smith, Parker, Bitter, Bingham, Whitehead, Neal, McCrosky, Bartlett, Ruekle, Irvine.
All of which may be wiped out, however, by the fanatical zeal with which the Kansas squad will go into the game. Coach Henry's team would rather win this game than any other on the schedule and they may be able to rise to the heights they achieved in 1938.

ell beofre Alpha Chi Sigma 7-0 and the Union Fountaineers lost a tough one to the Jayhawk Co-Op 7-0.
Passing and running brilliantly, quarterback John Pfitsch paced the Pfugerville lads to an impressive win over D.U. Pfitsch tallied two touchdowns and heaved a 15-yard pass to Perry Peterson for a third score. Jack Pattie ran 25 yards to register the fourth Pfash six-pointer. Dick Schaffer rang up the lone D.U. touchdown, and Jim Gillie was the stand-out D.U. performer.
With Bill Hodge giving his usual fine performance, the Phi Psi's had no trouble chalking up three touch-downs on the A.T.O.'s. Hodge tossed scoring thrusts to Jack Horner and John Hallberg. Horner added two points on a safety. Jack Cadden, Phi Psi, and Max Howard, A.T.O., were defensive stars.
In the six-man games, Bill Mackie scored all 7 of the Alpha Chi Sigma's points against Pi KA. Flashy performers were Vic Rink, A.C.S., and Jack Engle, Pi KA. Rex Hunter led the Jayhawk Co-op over the Union Fountaineers.
A short pass from Bill Mowery to "Dub" Hartley gave the Beta's a hard-earned win over the Sig Ep's 7-0. Tom Faulders booted the extra point.
