THEY'RE TOUGHER EVERY WEEK
Another weekend of rugged soothsaying lies ahead, and it looms tougher than ever. Picking last week's winners found 14 successful attempts out of 20 "big" games, bringing the season total to 59 called correctly out of 80 predictions.
Due to unawarranted luck, this corner named the results of the Oklahoma-Santa Clara and Kansas-Iowa State right. Getting out on a limb again, with Orv Mathews threatening to cut it off, how about Kansas over Oklahoma in an upset which will rock the nation? Here's two more valley representatives favored to win, Iowa State over South Dakota, and Missouri over Michigan State.
KANSAS STATE TO TROUBLE NEBRASKA
Kansas State sports writers seem to think that the Wildcats have a faint chance of upsetting Nebraska this Saturday, and state the factors which have caused rays of hope to blossom on the Manhattan campus.
The Staters gained 169 against Missouri while the Cornhuskers traveled a measly 52 yards in their fray with the Tigers. Kansas State's 16-0 defeat at the Sooners hands wasn't much worse than the Santa Clara's 16-6 loss at Norman. If Mike Zeleznak, sophomore quarterback, continues to improve, he may give someone a bad afternoon. Finally, Nebraska has always had tough time winning from the Aggies at Manhattan. Call it Nebraska in a close battle.
Ray Morrison's Temple eleven to chalk up victory No. 6 in downing Boston College. Army, spotting Notre Dame eight points on the parlay cards, should spring one of Saturday's surprises and dump Frank Leahy's Fighting Irish. Navy to nose out Pennsylvania, Yale is two touchdowns better than Brown, and Fordham over Purdue.
A GLANCE AT THE SOUTH AND EAST
Down in Dixie, Tennessee will get going and romp to triumph with L.S.U. serving as their victim. In the other big games, Tulane by a nod past unbeaten Vanderbilt, and Georgia Tech to give Duke a rigid test but Duke by a touchdown. In Texas, Bible's Longhorns have too much speed and power for a crack Southern Methodist team. Texas A.A.M. to mop up the earth with a weak Arkansas outfit.
THE COAST AND MID-WEST HAVE TOSS-UPS
Billy Hillenbrand gives Indiana the edge over a greatly underrated Iowa team. Minnesota's all-around strength will be six points better than Northwestern's offensive total in one of the day's feature attractions. Michigan to barely win from a fair Illinois eleven. Two years ago, Zuppke's Illini upset Tom Harmon and company at Champaign-Urbana 16 to 7. It could happen again.
In a real thriller-diller, Stanford by a scant point margin over Santa Clara. Last fall, the Broncos outplayed the Rose Bowl heros, only to lose 7-6. Oregon to take Washington State, conqueror of Oregon State a week ago. California a shade better than U.C.L.A.
Two Women Experts To Show Golf Skill
Patty Berg and Helen Dettweiler, who are nationally outstanding in women's golf, will visit the University Thursday.
Miss Berg has established a record in her last 60 games of winning 29, being runner up in 14 contests, reaching the semifinals in 4 and placing as medalist in 30 matches.
Miss Berg began tournament play the first year that she was on a fairway. She played her first game in 1932 and qualified for the Minnesota State Championship. That same year she won her first tournament shooting an 89 during the Breezy Point tournament.
Her equipment up to this point had been a brassie, mid-iron, mashie and putter.
Has Won Western Open
Miss Dettweiler has won the Maryland state, District of Columbia and the Middle Atlantic titles several times each, winning the first Maryland State in 1934, when she was 18. During the winter circuit in Florida in 1937 she won the Augusta, Georgia Open, and the Aiken S.C., invitation. In the match play at Palm Beach she was runner-up to Patty Berg.
At the present time Helen Dettweiler holds 32 course records. Her biggest win was the Western Open in 1939 immediately after she turned (continued to page seven)

Women's Intramurals By Nancy Prather
Kappa Kappa Gamma successfully defended their intramural volleyball championship for the organized houses by defeating Corbin hall in the season's most exciting game last night 29 to 26. Both teams played exceptionally good volleyball with the Kappa's just a little too good in the tight spots.
Building up a good halftime margin, the Kappa's were in front of Corbin at the intermission 18 to 10. Corbin rallied early in the second half, chalking up nine straight points. However, Shirley Irwin served six consecutive counters for the Kappa's to put the ball game on ice. Strongest players for the Corbin hall were Alta Bingham and Mildred Wells. Stars in the Kappa's victory were Mary Beth Dodge, Lo Smith, Margaret Butler, and Kathryn Hines.
Next Monday night at 8:30 L.W.W. clashes with the Kappa's for the all-school intramural title. The L.W.W. team will include girls from Corbin, Miller, and Watkins halls, as well as independents who are chosen to participate. However, the Kappa's have an edge, in that their team has been playing together all season, and consequently is well organized.
Miss Hoover wants all intramural managers to turn in the names of the girls who are interested in playing in class volley ball games. Names of those desiring to take a part in these contests, must be submitted by Monday afternoon.
Seniors have stack privileges in the Midland college library for the first time in recent years.
Forwards Will Give Oklahoma A Battle
The backfield, whether good or bad, always seems to grab the newspaper headlines when it comes to giving out credit for gridiron play. The Kansas line, however, has been doing a splendid job this fall and should be in top-notch form when it tangles with the Oklahoma forward wall at Norman Saturday afternoon.
Fans have just taken it for granted all fall that there was nothing to worry about in regard to the backfield and have kept their eyes on how the line was coming. Each game has seen the line improving and measuring up more to the caliber of the backs. Particularly did the coaches feel that the line looked good against Marquette and Iowa State.
WAY KERN! BOB FLUKER
Inexperience at the tackle posts was the main problem the Jayhawk coaches had to contend with this fall. Three of the top four tackle candidates were sophomores and the other was a senior with only 14 minutes playing time to his credit.
The senior, Steve Meade, was a
junior college transfer and played his first varsity ball at K.U. last year. During the nine Kansas games, his total playing time amounted to less than one quarter. But the 228 pounder has been coming along this fall and pushed sophomore Jack Tenenbaum out of the starting lineup at left tackle.
Right tackle has been disputed by two sophomores, Warren Hodges and Gene Long. Hodges looked like the best K.U. tackle prospect of the decade as a freshman, but couldn't get going this fall. In the Marquette game he finally began to show signs of his old form and the Iowa State game saw him further making a comeback. Long has started the last four games, but may have to yield that spot to Hodges soon.
Two Fine Centers
Center was another worry, but one that was alleviated in short order. Filling the shoes of Don Pierce, all-Big Six center last year, looked like a big job, but sophomore Bob Githens took over in fine style. When Githens was injured, Paul Hardman moved in from right end and played a bangup game at the center post.
Left end and the guard spots were three positions which have caused the coaches no concern whatsoever. Hubert Ulrich, left end, is the best end in the conference in the opinion of Kansas fans.
At guard, the Jayhawks have Bob Fluker and Jay Kern as starters, with Monte Merkel, a third senior, and Joe Crawford, a sophomore, as able replacements. The troublesome right end position is now being handled by Bob Hagen, a junior.
Central college, Fayette, Mo., has a college chorus of 80 voices.
