Phi Psis' Spring Surprise
The Kappa Sigs lost a heartbreaker to the Phi Psis, 6-3 in yesterday's feature intramural game. An under-rated Theta Tau battled the Phil Delts to a 6-6 tie in the other eleven man tilt on the afternoon's program.
Bill Hodge sparked the Phis to victory. He kicked, ran, and stood out on defense, par excellence, in addition to passing to Mike Sheridan 35 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Two Larrys', Hensley and Spencer, sparked the Kappa Sigs. Spencer's bullet passes
and elusive ball carrying kept the Kappa Sigs in the ball game. Hensley put the Sigs in front in the third period when he split the uprights with a beautiful 31-yard dropkicked field goal. The Phi Psis came back to win, with Hodge heaving to Sheridan for the tally.
Playing on a field that more than faintly resembled a swamp, the Theta Taus matched the Phi Delts, scrapping to a 6 to 6 draw. "Ribbie" Woodbury, Phi Delt end, intercepted a Theta Tau pass in the third quarter and galloped 60 yards for a
score. In the fourth period, Domingo passed to Weldon to even the count at 6 apiece. Stars on the defense were Grant and Carpenter for the Theta Taus and Prager and McClure for the Phi Delts.
In the six-man division, the A.K. Psis came out on the long end of a 13-0 score over the Pi K.A. sextet. Chet Lebsack passed to Lewis Medlin and Joe Gregory for the two Psi six pointers. Jack Engle stood out for the Pi·K.A. while "Ripples" Collinson was tops for the Psis.
Valley Teams Ready For Big Weekend
All Big Six teams wound up practice and drill yesterday in preparation for tomorrow's games. Tomorrow's schedule features two conference battles and Oklahoma's invasion of Texas U., with the Iowa State Cyclones remaining idle.
The Kansas State Wildcats and the Tigers of Missouri U. may find the going very heavy in the game after a one inch rain at Columbia yesterday. The Tigers worked out on an already water-soaked Memorial stadium field yesterday in final preparation for the invading Wildcats. Coach Don Faurot is not worried over the muddy field, however, for last week the Tigers turned in a splendid showing in a driving rain. "It can't be any worse," commented Coach Faurot, "and I don't believe the rain will hinder us any more than it will Kansas State."
Kansas State worked out lightly yesterday in a short drill. Don Shaffer, injured center-guard, watched proceedings from the sidelines, but Earl Williams, also injured, joined the Wildcat squad in the light drill. Both may be expected to play tomorrow at Columbia, according to Coach Hobbs Adams.
The Oklahoma Sooners held only light signal drills yesterday, as they completed preparations for the Texas Longhorns. The Sooners left for Dallas this morning. Coach Dewey Luster, who stated that the squad was in excellent shape and ready for Texas, named Harold Teeter, tackle, as game captain.
Fully aware of Ralph Miller's passing ability, the Nebraska Cornhuskers worked on some pass plays of their own yesterday. More drill on pass defense took up part of the practice, also. Vike Francis, sparkplug of the Husker's drive, stayed out of practice yesterday with a head cold which had settled in his sinus. However, Trainer Elwyn Dees said the powerhouse full-back would be ready for action against the Jayhawks tomorrow.
Regular first-string men were back at their posts yesterday in the Iowa State lineup. Coach Ray Donels, seeking for a more potent offensive drive, had juggled the lineup, replacing regulars with second and third-string men. The Cyclones went through a long signal drill and Coach Donels called a full-dress scrimmage for today.
Physical Fitness Marks Trend of War-time Games
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, who stated not long ago that big time athletics could not exist in their present condition after the present national emergency, today pointed out another indication of the decline of large-scale athletics.
Dr. Allen referred to a paragraph in the contract between DePaul University and the University of Kansas, which provides for a game at Chicago during the coming basketball season. The paragraph reads:
"It is agreed that in the event this country shall be involved in war on or before January 31st, 1942, this contract may be declared void by either party upon sending written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days from the playing date."
The effect of the war has already

been deeply felt in athletic circles. Almost every major school has lost a dependable player or two to the new army. In the event that the situation gets to be any more serious, athletics will be further deemphasized.
Kansas' frosh football squad of 41 players will leave on the special train tomorrow morning at 6:30 for Lincoln, Nebraska, to witness the Jayhawk-Cornhusker football fray. Assistant freshman coach Ed Hall will accompany the squad which will return tomorrow evening.
"During the last war," recalled Dr. Allen, "the government advocated a 'business as usual' policy. Schools were urged to carry on their athletic programs as though nothing had happened.
General Sylvanus Thayer's successful superintendency of West Point from 1817 to 1833 earned him the title of "the Father of the United States Military Academy."
Men making the trip are Kenny Adams, Bob Barnes, Bob Boots, Max Banks, Lee Battershell, John Bender, Hoyt Baker, Bill Brill, Dick Channell, Bill Chivis, Bob Dole, Bill Ferguson, Wesley Hughes, John Herron, Joe Holmes, Sid Jaggar, Don Johnson, Bill Kiene, Ivan Keese, Frank Lesch, Mark McLain, Floyd McHenry, J. C. Monroe, Lewis Musick, Jim Overman, Palmer, Junius Penny, John Reber, Frank Rengel, Gene Roberts, Joe Roberts, Dick Rosenfield, Bob Stevenson, Jim Stoker, Bill Skeene, Dun Smutz, Bud Smith, Kenny Tipps, Kenny Thompson, Victor Wall, and Grier Zimmerman.
"This time, however, if war does result, a more experienced public will not try to deceive itself. Athletics, if continued during the emergency at all, will be conducted without unnecessary expense and fanfare. The emphasis will be upon physical fitness and not upon spectacular contests."
W.A.A. Holds First Meeting With Plans Made for Prom
W. A.A. held its first meeting Thursday afternoon. Lo Smith, president, welcomed the new girls. Alta Bingham was elected secretary and Mildred Wells hockey sports manager.
Mary Beth Dodge, vice-president, reviewed points in the constitution on attendance and dues for the thirty-four girls present. Plans for the Puff Pant Prom to be held on November 7 were discussed. All girls attending the university are invited to this party.
The group then adjourned to the women's gym and watched an exhibition badminton match given by Ken Shedd and Miss Ruth Hoover.
Replogle To Scout Marquette
Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, left for Lansing, Michigan, this morning, where he will scout Marquette in the Marquette-Michigan State football game Saturday. Kansas meets the Marquette Hilltoppers at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Oct. 18.
At Murray (Ky.) State Teachers College, 156 students hold "workshops" under which they earn $22,-993 a year.
SURPRISES IN FOOTBALL
Someone said the other day that Kansas didn't have a ghost of a chance against Nebraska Saturday. True, the Jayhawkers haven't won a game from the Cornhuskers since 1916 but the streak will come to an end sometime, and this Saturday may be that glorious day. The unpredictable happens when you least expect it, and the writers up Lincoln way have labeled this game as "the Creampuff Contest."
Football fans of the last half a dozen years will never forget the impossible victory Notre Dame rang up over Ohio State in 1935. The Fighting Irish went into the fourth quarter of that game, trailing the Buckeyes 13 to 0. Incidentally, seven of Ohio State's first eleven were All-American, all Mid-west, or all Big Ten. Yet Andy Pilney, Bill Shakespeare, and Wayne Millner collaborated, tallying three touchdowns in the final ten minutes to produce the greatest rally and upset in football history. The final score was Notre Dame 18, Ohio State 13.
In 1937, Kansas again jumped into the spotlight of gridiron glory by deadlocking a great Nebraska team 13-13, and battling a vastly superior Missouri eleven to a 0-9 tie. It was this same autumn that the Jayhawkers spoiled Oklahma's title dreams with a story book finish, Don Ebling tossing a 40-vard pass to Dick Amerine in the last five seconds, to triumph 6 to 3.
In recent years, the Crimson and Blue elevens of Lawrence have figured in plenty of startling games. In '35, K.U. nipped Oklahoma in the last half minute to win 7-0, and then outplayed the defending Valley champs, K-State, to the tune of a 9 to 2 count. A weak Iowa State bunch then proceeded to jolt the Jayhawks back to normal two weeks later, beating them 21-12.
LYNN WALDORF, EX-BIG SIX MAN
Kansas startled the conference in '38, when they nosed out a tough Texas squad 19-18 with little Chet Gibbens kicking the game-winning extra point. The Jayhawkers also crushed Kansas State that fall 27-7, a bigger score than the champion Sooners ran up against the Aggies. In the last couple of seasons, Henry's lads haven't sprung an upset. Maybe its been saved for tomorrow at Lincoln.
Reading the story of Northwestern's humiliating 51 to 3 walloping of Kansas State last week, brings back memories of Northwestern's present coach, Lynn Waldorf, and his coaching feats. Waldorf came to Kansas State in 1934, and grabbed the Big Six championship in his one and only year at Manhattan. In Waldorf's line-up at K-State, seven sophomores were starters. In the Big Six title game they defeated Dana Bible's veteran Nebraskans 19-7. The next two years with Wes Fry as coach, these same sophomores, as upper classmen, had trouble maintaining a .500 average.
Botanists Display Rare Funqus Growth
Speaking of seasonal upsets, Waldorf was the toast of Evanston in his first two years, '35 and '36, at Northwestern. In 1935, Waldorf, with just a fair team, knocked off an unbeaten Notre Dame team 14-7. This was the same Notre Dame team which had dumped Ohio State. The next fall, Lynn's Wildcats snapped Minnesota's consecutive winning streak at 22 games and climbed upon the Big Ten throne.
Of an unusually large size and bright coral color are the two rare features of a fungus now on display in Snow hall. The department of botany has this specimen in its collection of parasitic plants on the east end of the third floor. The name of the fungus is Polyporus sulphureus. The growth was found on an Acer saccharinum (Sugar Maple) tree in front of the Moody

Apartments at Fourteenth and Tennessee.
The plant is of a coral color on top and yellow underneath. It is thought that the plant had only been growing for three or four days.
According to "Host Index of the Fungi of North America," published in 1931 by Semour, this is the first time this fungus has ever been found growing on a sugar maple tree, although it is listed in "Semour's Index" as growing on many other similar deciduous trees.
