Patched-Up Jayhawks Will Be Tough
Five Lettermen Hampered By Hurts-Sickness
A patched-up University of Kansas football team seeks its first conference victory of the season Saturday against Iowa State, with a spirit which may more than make up for the battered condition in which the players will go into the game.
Confident that some breaks are due to come their way and that they are a good deal better than past scores indicate, the Jayhawks look forward to the game with the Cyclones with grim determination.
Six or seven of the Jayhawks will go into Saturday's game still showing the battering which they have taken in their last two contests. Although none of the men are definitely lost for the clash with Iowa
State, they may not be able to play up to par.
Six Stars Out
On the convalescent list are Ralph Miller, quarterback; Bob Githens, center; Gene Long, tackle; Monte Merkel, guard; Don Pollom, half-back; and Ralph, Schaake. end.
back; and Ralph MONTE MERKEL
Schaea. end.
With Githens' knee a doubtful quantity, Paul Hardman, regular right end, probably will be held in reserve for center duty. Hardman's post will be taken over by Bob Hagen, rugged junior, who has been coming like a house afire lately.
Figures on the weights of the two
teams, show Kansas with an advantage in the line and Iowa State possessing the bigger backs. The Kansas line average 200 pounds to the man, with Iowa State at 196. In the backfield, Iowa State averages 1841/4
BOB HAGEN
Kansas 182.
Coach Gwinn Henry of Kansas has seen his Jayhawk teams win one game and lose one against Iowa State. Ray Donels, new coach at Iowa State, will be sending a team against the Jayhawks for the first time.
First Time For Donels
Both teams are hopeful of favorable weather conditions, as they rely considerably on strong passing attacks. Given a dry field, the result should be an aerial duel of no mean proportions.
Kansas fans will have a particularly critical eye on the Jayhawk defense, which was not very satisfactory in earlier games, but was reported much improved in last week's game with Marquette. A weakness on pass defense hurt in that contest, but should be more easily remedied than the previous difficulty in stopping running plays.

NEBRASKA AND MISSOURI
WHEN the Scarlet Scourge from Lincoln Invades Columbiaand this coming Saturday something is sure to give way. Up in Nebraska they say the Cornhuskers will rebound from the Indiana upset and take the Tigers to town with Allan Zikmund and Dale Bradley uncatchable. Press agents from the M.U. campus say that Faurot's boys are cocky and confident, figuring that Harry Ice, "Red" Wade, and Bob Steuber will more than match the Jones' speedsters.
The Missouri record-book is impressive with excellent showings against Ohio State, Colorado, Iowa State, and Kansas State. However this corner will string with the Huskers until the Missouri Bengals prove they are best. THE REST OF THE BIG SIX.
THE REST OF THE BIG SIX
TWO days ago the prediction from this column was Kansas over Iowa State. Despite the probable loss of Ralph Miller, the prediction still holds, although the bookies spot the Jayhawkers six points. The Kansas Aggies remain idle, resting up for their clash with Nebraska November 1.
The only unbeaten, untied team on the Pacific Coast, Santa Clara, will tangle with Oklahoma at Norman. Orv Mathews, Sooner climax runner, raced 55 and 85 yards for two touchdowns last winter, only to see his team-mates defeated by the Broncos' 33-13. Call it an Oklahoma revenge upset, they're about due.
A FORECAST ON THE HARD ONES
WITH 44 right out of 60 predictions, an attempt will again be made on 20 of the weekend's toughest contests. Take them for what they're worth, here they are. With Pete Kmetovic back in the line-up, Stanford will finish ahead of Washington in a thriller. Northwestern's power will be too ruthless for Paul Brown's Ohio State Buckeyes. Michigan's Wolverines will carve a niche for themselves at the top of the country's ranking lists by surmounting Minnesota in the day's spotlight tussle.
Bertelli, Evans, and Juzwik will breeze over Illinois to give the Fighting Irish from Notre Dame their fifth straight victory. Alabama, sparked by two of the nation's best in Hal Rast and Jim Nelson, should be too potent for Georgia's Sinkwich. Cornell over Colgate in a tossup. Marquette by a nod over Duquesne. Loss of Jim Jurkovich, star of the St. Mary's game, has been too rough on California, so the edge goes to Southern California.
Columbia to give Army its first setback. If Jack Wilson is out, Texas A. & M. should romp over Baylor. Spike Nelson's Yale lads are a little too experienced for Dartmouth. Jackrabbit Crain and Pistol Pete Layden will get a real test this Saturday when they show their wares to Jess Neely's erratic Rice eleven. Texas b ya single touchdown.

Women's Intramurals By Nancy Prather
Dr. Allen to Speak For Minn. Lions Club
The Lions Club of Minneapolis, Kan., has invited Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen speak at its football banquet the evening of Nov. 19, it was learned today.
The banquet will be under the direction of Dr. N. P. Neilson, national executive secretary of the American Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation.
Dr. Allen is serving on the student section committee of the Association.
Another round of uneven volleyball games took place on last night's women's intramural program. Lone exception to this statement was the Delta Gamma-Alpha Chi contest. The final score was Alpha Chi 27, Delta Gamma 26.
The Alpha Chi's lead the Delta Gam's at halftime 19-9. However, the Delta Gam's came back in the second period to make the game exciting by piling up 17 points. Jane Beal and Mary Hogan, Delta Gam's, gave the Alpha Chi team a scare but brilliant play by Margaret Whitehead and Lucille Gillie pushed the Alpha Chi's ahead by one point as the battle ended.
The Theta's thoroughly outplayed Miller hall, winning by the one-sided count of 51-19. Contestants showing up well for Miller were Ruth Sheppard and Barbara Reber but the combined playing strength of Margaret Neal, Peggy Davis, and Dorothy Fizzell was too much for them to match.
The Chi Omega's downed the Gamma Phi's 44-20. Margaret Kreider and Anna Jane Hoffman were outstanding players for the Chi Omega's. A second half Gamma Phi rally, led by Doris Twente, failed.
