Two-Team Offense Used By Luster
A rapidly improving Kansas team will meet its toughest competition of the season Saturday, when it journeys to Norman, to engage the giant Oklahoma Sooners. Gwinn Henry's new "spinner-wing" will match deception with Dewey Luster's heralded "A" formation.
When Luster took over the Sooner coaching reins this fall, he was handed six regulars from last year's powerful aggregation, and a wealth of material in lettermen and sophomores. Luster decided to use his best eleven men as starters, mixing some of his first year stars with veterans. In the opening two games, this sophomore-senior combination didn't work, as the Oklahoma eleven needed plenty of breaks to beat Oklahoma A. & M. 19-0, and then were buried under an avalanche of Longhorn points, losing to Texas 40-7.
In Luster's most recent wins, 16-0 over Kansas State, and last week's upset of Santa Clara 16-6, the Oklahoma two best teams are divided as units according to experience. The Sooner first team, known as the "Stallions" is his senior outfit. The
O. U. second eleven, called the "Colts" stacks up as an entire sophomoric team.
Junior Golding shines brightest among the Sooner sophomores with Eddie Davis not far behind. Golding, as an Oklahoma high school player two years ago, scored 71 points in a single football game. Seniors Orv Mathews, Mary Whited,
Learn New Plays ★★★ Gibbens Good
Coach Gwinn Henry, pleased with the gains that Ray Niblo and Ray Evans made through the Iowa State line last Saturday, showed his squad some more new line plays in a crisp workout yesteday afternoon.
The plays are deceptive, and depend upon quick-opening holes in the forward wall. Ray Niblo and Denzel Gibbens made long gains against the freshmen consistently as the first-year players were fooled by the new formations.
Ralph Miller, who turned in a fine performance during the short time he was allowed to see action against Iowa State, did not throw any passes in yesterday's practice session. As yet it cannot be determined whether his arm will be in shape for the Oklahoma contest.
and Jack Jacobs are known as three of the valley's finest backs. Jacobs, star in the Santa Clara surprise, punted 18 times against the Broncos in the mud for an incredible average of 40.7.
According to Harry Lansing, Kansas's efficient scout, two of the stellar performers of the Santa Clara-Oklahoma battle, were Bill Mattox, hard-hitting reserve halfback, and "Fats" Harris a 245-pound guard. Harris isn't the only behemoth in
Missouri To Workout With Barracks Team
While the first team worked on
With Howard Kelley, regular center, and Clarence Herndon, first string tackle, remaining on the sideline, the Nebraska Cornhuskers charged through one of the toughest scrimmages yesterday, since the start of the current season. Forrest Bachman, sophomore reserve center, was in Kelley's position in practice yesterday while Howard Martig worked in the right tackle slot. Kelley, the No. 1 center, is nursing a shoulder injury.
the rugged Sooner line as tackles Howard Teeter, Joe Allton, and Homer Simmons tip the scales at 234, 231, and 240 pounds respectively.
Lansing picked Roger Eason as the superior of Teeter, but went on to say that both Oklahoma tackles were "plenty good." Mitch Shadid, a 167-pound guard, is the midget of the line, but aggressive and tough. Dub Lamb, a junior, and sophomore Jim Tyree will probably be Luster's starters at end. Jack Marsee, center, has more than capably filled the shoes of Novel Wood and Cliff Speegle, last year's pivot men.
Kansas State plays, the No. 2 team ran all over the frost with Kenney Simmons and Howard Debus outstanding on running plays. Herb Von Goetz is still definitely out of action with injuries and the other Husker casualties are coming along slowly, Coach Biff reported.
Max Timmons, blocking back, was outstanding in practice yesterday as the Kansas State Wildcats ran through a snappy workout in preparation for Nebraska Saturday. Timmons slipped through the line consistently to spill the opposition's ball carriers for losses.
Flavin to Pass
The Missouri coaches may get an answer to the Tigers' passing-attack question when the varsity meets the Jefferson Barracks team Thursday at St. Louis. Sophomore Joe Flavin, who was kept out of early season Tiger games, will probably display his passing ability against the Barracks team. Coach Don Faurot has been grooming Flavin for passing duty, but he was not used in the Nebraska game because it was too tough a spot for the Tigers to start experimenting.

College Heads Meet To Consider Morale
Heads of all Kansas Colleges and Universities have been invited to attend a meeting here at the University on Nov. 3, called under the auspices of the United States Office of Education, to discuss the general subject "School and College Civilian Morale Service" as a part of the national defense program. The regional meetings are being set up by the U. S. Office of Education, at the request of President Roosevelt.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott has issued invitations to attend the con- of the Kansas schools.
and Dick Keller, reserve halfback, returned to the Tiger firing line yesterday, bringing the Bengals a little nearer to full strength. Both players have been out with injuries, but will see action against Michigan State at East Lansing Saturday.
The Oklahoma Sooners worked overtime yesterday planning out a defense for the Jayhawks whom they meet next Saturday. The varsity watched the fresh run Kansas plays and the Sooner coaches mapped out a defense to bottle up Ralph Miller, Jayhawk passing ace,
