Injuries Plague the Jayhawkers
Henry Needs Guards For Husker Clash
The center of his line in doubtful physical condition, Coach Gwinn Henry of Kansas is looking forward to Saturday's game with Nebraska at Lincoln in none too optimistic a frame of mind.
string right guard
The 212 pound senior suffered a bruised knee in the Washington game and it has failed to respond to treatment.
Probably unable to see any action at all will be Monte Merkel, first
His running mate big Bob Fluker, left guard, was in the student hospital from Saturday MONTE MERKEL night until Wednesday morning with a heavy cold. He will be ready to play against the Huskers, but likely will be weak after his stay in the hospital and may not play long.
To add to the woes at guard, Joe Crawford, promising sophomore, ran his hand through a glass door at his fraternity house Tuesday and nine stitches were required to sew up the gashes. Crawford will be able to see
action, but is not expected to be at his best.
**Only One**
**Guard**
Only four guards have been in action this fall and Jay Kern is the lone man of the four who will be in top shape Saturday. He will start at right

Lloyd Svoboda, 183 pound sophomore,
will be ready if needed.
Sophomore Bob Githens, who has been doing a bang-up job of filling Don Pierce's shoes at center, is bothered from time to time by a knee injury. The coaches are hopeful, however, that the knee will stand up throughout the clash with the Huskers.
Nebraska will go into Saturday's game with a weight advantage in both the line and the backfield. It will be a slim edge in the forward wall, only half a pound to the man, but in the backfield the Huskers will outweigh Kansas seven pounds to the man.
The line averages show the Jayhawks at 161 $^{1/2}$, with Nebraska at 197. In the backfield it is 182 $^{1/4}$ for K.U. and 189 $^{1/4}$ for N.U. Kansas has no regular linemen to compare in size with Vic Schleich, 234 pound Husker righ tackle.
A big item in the Cornhuskers favor is the greenness of the Kansas team. Six sophomores dot the Jayhawk lineup and there is no substitute for experience.

WANTED: NO RAIN SATURDAY
If Kansas meets Nebraska on a dry field in Lincoln Saturday, its anybody's ball game. It will be a Jayhawker passing attack matching wits with a Cornhusker ground-gaining offense. In mud and rain, passing wouldn't function and Kansas would suffer immeasurably.
Kansas success at Lincoln has always fallen just short of winning. The Each time the Jayhawkers outplayed Nebraska, only to come out on the short end of the score.
In the first two games this fall, Henry's boys broke even. Temple downed them 31-9 and then K.U. knocked off Washington 19-6. In predicting the scores of these two games, this column set the pre-game scores at 33-13 for Temple and 20-7 for Kansas against Washington. Success was too much, so this column takes Kansas over Nebraska on a dry field 19-14 for the first Jayhawk win from the Cornhuskers in 25 years. If the weather is bad, Nebraska will be victorious by two touchdowns.
Nebraska will have the edge in weight, experience, reserves, and the home crowd psychology. However, the Huskers will meet a Kansas team which is not in awe of them. They will meet a Kansas team that thinks it has a chance of winning. Kansas is much improved over last year and Nebraska, although well-fortified, hasn't two great teams as a year ago. Kansas will win!
THE REST OF THE VALLEY
THE NATION AT LARGE
The batting average of ye ed for last weekend was 16 right out of 20 predicted outcomes. Those results signify that we may go out on a limb again and try a few games this Saturday.
Leahy's Notre Dame powerhouse will be too much for Georgia Tech. Yale will upset Pennsylvania. Michigan State will fail to solve Marquette's Stidham plan. Clemson, with Blalock leading the way, will nip Boston College. Navy will crush Lafayette. Fordham in a breeze over North Carolina, Stanford's Albert and Kmetovic will be too much for Oregon State, Mississippi State to whip L.S.U., and northwestern by Wisconsin easily.
