Injuries Beset Big Six Teams; N.U. Loses Two
Injuries again confront Big Six squads as they return to practice this week. Nebraska suffered two mishaps in Saturday's victory over the Jayhawks.
Clarence Herndon, first string tackle, and substitute halfback Howard Debus were injured in the game, but it is expected that they will play in the Indiana game next Saturday. Herndon complained of a shoulder injury and Debus suffered a bruised back.
Yesterday the Huskers watched movies of the Kansas game and last year's battle with Indiana. The Cornhusker coaching staff described the homecoming Indiana game as "our first real test."
Kansas State settled down to serious defensive drill yesterday as they resumed practice. Coach Hobbs Adams stressed the importance of stopping Orv Mathews, speedy Sooner back. Harry Merriam, freshman quarterback, played the role of Mathews and scampered through the varsity line and secondary consistently.
The Wildcats kept plugging away, trying to build a defense until it was necessary to light the arch at the north end of Memorial stadium. They will meet the Oklahoma Sooners at Manhattan, Saturday.
Missouri emerged from last week's trouncing of Kansas State with only one injury, a charlie horse suffered by fullback Don Reece. Reece failed to appear for practice yesterday but it is expected he will see action this weekend against the Iowa State Cyclones.
With Reece absent, Leo Mills, sophomore back, was in the backfield along with Harry Ice, Bob Steuber, and Harold Adams. Darold Jenkins, who played some in the K-State game, will probably start against the Cyclones, Coach Don Faurot said. The remainder of the week will be spent in offensive and defensive drill.
The Oklahoma Sooners suffered no injuries in the Texas game and settled down to intensive blocking and tackling practice yesterday. Coach Dewey Luster said yesterday that the Sooners "need plenty of work on pass defense, tackling, and offensive plays."
Dr. Allen To Speak For American Legion
Initiation for new members of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, will be held at 5:30 o'clock tonight in the English room of the Memorial Union building, Stan Stauffer, president of the organization, said today.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, varsity basketball coach at the University, will address the William J. Bland post of the American Legion tomorrow evening at the University club in Kansas City. His subject will be "Dr. Naismith and basketball."
Sigma Delta Chi To Initiate Four
The new initiates will be John Harvey, college senior; Glee Smith, college junior; Charles Pearson, college senior; and Bill Feeney, college junior.
They've Got Deception ★★★ ★★★ Ask Scout Replogle
After scouting Marquette in their 7-13 defeat at the hands of Michigan State, freshman coach Wayne Replogle, describes their play as "very impressive." According to Replogle, the Jayhawkers will be in for a busy afternoon this Saturday at Milwaukee.
The Marquette Hilltopppers boast of three veteran backs who bear the brunt of the attack. Coach Tom Stidham, who last year at Oklahoma stressed power plays, is this year developing a team at Marquette that mingles passing and deceptive plays with it's running attack.
The University of Kansas pass defense will have to watch Bob McChill and Jim Richardson. Both backs have an uncanny knack of hitting their pass receivers. Bob Goodyear and Bob O'Hagan are two more backs that are as equally hard to stop on the ground.
Women's Intramurals
Schaake on the Independent team scored often, but not enough to offset the I.W.W. power play.
The E.T.C.—T.N.T. teams were rather evenly matched. The T.N.T. won 36-23 with Gladys Bitter and Dorothy Smith as the outstanding players.
The Delta Gam-Watkin's hall volley-ball game ended in a tie last night. The Delta Gams led the first half 20-9 with Van Blarcom and Hogan piling up scores. Watkins Hall came back the second half and scored twenty points to tie the game 29-29. Althea Shuss and Betty Charles were responsible for much of the scoring of the Watkins hall team.
The I.W.W. team, one of the most powerful teams in women's intramurals, proved their strength last night by defeating the Independent team 46-27. Marge Rader and Evelyn Herriman were stars for I.W.W.
Fred Harris, former state senator from Ottawa, spoke yesterday at Rotary on the founding, development, and conduct of the nine state institutions now under the control of the State Board of Regents. Senator Harris is the chairman of the board.
Harris Speaks On State Institutions
"Lawrence and other cities which possess state institutions are all alike in thinking that the institution in that particular town should be the chief concern of the regents," Senator Harris said.
Two of the schools under the reagents are vocational schools for colored youth; five boarding schools; a school for the blind; and a school for the deaf.
Operating the nine institutions costs the state about $5,000,000 a year, according to Senator Harris.
On defense Marquette employs a five man line with a roving guard. This defense will vary according to whether the Jayhawkers are using a running play or a pass. The Hilltopppers have inexperienced ends, but they make up for lack of competition by excellent pass-receiving and blocking.
Table Tennis Entries Are Due Tomorrow
Hill table tennis experts will meet in the game room of the Memorial Union building at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow to plan for the annual fall tournament. Both men and women's singles will be run off.
"This tournament is held annually in the fall in keeping with the Intramural committee's policy of providing entertainment for the greatest number of students," said Bob Hodgson, chairman.
Medals will be awarded to first and second place winners. Tournament winners will make up the Student Union table tennis team which will play in interstate matches this year.
There is no entry fee and equipment is furnished. Names of contestants must be turned in not later than 5:30 tomorrow at either the Student Union Activities office or at the hostess desk in the main lounge of the Union building.
Pairings will be announced in the Kansan Thursday.

Advance Sale Tickets — Jayhawker Office
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 14. — (UP) — The University of Georgia's membership in the Southern University Conference was revoked today because Gov. Eugene Talmadge had Dean Walter D. Cocking of its School of Education fired for allegedly advocating "racial equality."
The conference, composed of 41 southern colleges and universities voted last night ot drop the University of Georgia and denounced Cocking's dismissal as "both a contradiction of the ideal of education anda threat to Democracy in America."
to Democracy in America."
Talmadge charged that Cooking had proposed establishment of a school near the university campus at Athens, Ga., for white and Negro students. He had to reshuffle the board of regents in order to get a majority that would fire Cocking and Dr. Marvin S. Pittman, president of the South Georgia Teachers college. Both denied that they had advocated racial equality.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Universities prepares the accredited list of southern schools; i.e., schools which recognize each other's credits and degrees. Memberships of the association and conference overlap, and the association may take up charges of "political intrusion" at the University of Georgia when it meets in December.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 14 —(UP)—
When students of the University of Georgia learned last night that their school had been voted out of the Southern University Conference, 1,500 of them burned Gov. Eugene Talmadge in effigy.
