Line Matches Pace of Backs Against Wash.
Flashing a good running game to go with its powerful aerial attack, the Kansas Jayhawks applied the finishing touches for their game with Nebraska by downing Washington 19-6.
The Jayhawks' sophomore halfback from Texas, Ray Niblo, took over the starring role in the air, throwing three passes and connecting on all of them. Two of the heaves were good for touchdowns and to make it a big afternoon for him, Niblo also recovered a Washington fumble and intercepted a pass.
Playing on a sloppy field, the Jayhawks threw only seven passes and used their "spinner wing" formation very little. Most of the afternoon saw K. U. using either single wing or double wing plays.
On the first play he was in the game, which was just as the initial quarter was drawing to a close. Niblo flipped a short pass to Miller, who ran 45 yards to a touchdown, behind superb blocking.
Ralph Miller, Kansas' All-American candidate, sparked the running attack, displaying the best ball carrying of his career. On one run Miller got loose for an 18 yard jaunt. "Rifling Ralph" tried only four passes on the muddy field.
The Texan also tossed the last Kansas touchdown. His 25 yard pass to "Red" Ettinger, sophomore fullback, was taken on the 3 yard line by "Red", who stepped across the goal line for a tally.
Pleasing to Jayhawk fans was the improved play of the line. Kansas' forward wall made the going rough for Washington ball carriers, holding them to a net gain of 57 yards by rushing.
Standouts in the line once again were Hubert Ulrich, 198 pound left end, and Bob Fluker, 211 pound left guard. Ulrich has few superiors at pushing back wide plays at his end and at making vicious tackles down the fields under punts.
Gene Long, Indian sophomore, continued to show improvement and has won the starting call at right tackle, at least for the time being. Steve Meade, 228 pound senior, was the starter at left tackle against Washington and probably will alternate at that post with Jack Tenenbaum, rugged sophomore.
Newsreels throughout the country some time ago featured the good will trip made by two American warships to the Australian port of Brisbane. Word has reached the University that an alumnus, Lieutenant Commander Edward Dolecek, commanded one of the vessels on the history-making trip.
The Jayhawks' sophomore center, Bob Githens, appears to be the answer to the center problem, without much question. After starring against Temple, Githens came back with another good game, Saturday.
Dolecek had under his command the battle-cruiser, Salt Lake City, and its personnel. He is a member of the class of 1918, and is a veteran in naval service.

New Frosh Cage Coach Son and Pop
A father and son combination will coach the University of Kansas cagemen this season.
Milton Allen, law student and basketball star of a few years back, will be freshman basketball coach this winter according to an announcement made today by Dr. Forrest C. 'Phog" Allen, varsity coach.
"Mit" will receive no compensation for his first coaching job, for there is a regulation prohibiting the head of a department from employing a relative. However, he has consented to take time out from his studies to groom the yearling cagers since Gordon Gray and Francis Kappelman, last year's freshmen coaches, are gone and due to the national emergency there are very few boys taking advanced work in physical education.

"Mit," anxious to get things shaped up, announced that the first freshman practice will begin tonight at 6:45 in Robinson gymnasium. His team's first appearance will be in the freshman-varsity game to be played shortly before the official season begins.

Ralph Miller nearly dumped a great

Team comparison finds Nebraska's starting lineup full of veterans while Kansas will be starting six sophomores in its first eleven men. Let's take a look at the positions with an eye to comparative men, records and weights.
Fred Preston (190) and George Kathol (185) will be 'Biff' Jones' selections against 'Hub Ulrich (197) and Paul Hardman (183) of Kansas. Preston and Ulrich were two of the best flankers in the valley last season. Tackles for the Huskers are Capt. Clarence Herndon (200) and Vic Schleich (230). Gwinn Henry will probably start Jack Tenenbaum (215) and Gene Long (203). Both are sophomores, lacking in experience.
George Abel (200), Nebraska's successor to All-American Warren Alfson for all-star honors, and the lone sophomore in the Husker line, Herb von Goetz (191) will be the starting guards. Kansas will call on two letterman, Monte Merkel (212) and Bob Fluker (211) for the guard slots. Pivot men will be Fred Meier
Harbur to Play More Midweek
The third Scotch Varsity of the year-will take place from 7 to 8 tomorrow night in the Memorial Union ballroom. Clayton Harbur's band will play.
Admission is free for dates and 10 cents for stags. The usual stag limit of 200 will be enforced.
The Scotch Varsities formerly known as "Midweeks," are sponsored by the Student Union Activities Board.
Both teams will have fancy back-fields with a brilliant array of ball carriers present on both teams. Starting foursome for Kansas will probably be Ralph Miller (174) at quarter, Ray Evans (180) and Ray Niblo (185) as halfbacks, and Don Ettinger (190) at fullback.
(180) of Nebraska and Bob Githens (185) of Kansas.
The Nebraska backfield will have sophomore Marvin Athey (195) at the signal calling post, Allen Zikmund (180) and Dale Bradley (185) at the halfbacks posts, and Vike Francis (200) at fullback. Bradley will be the man to watch as he was the standout Cornhusker back against Iowa State.
