25 Years Since a Kansas Win
Sports Slants By Clint Kanaga
WORLD SERIES DOPE
The American league continued to hold its dominance over the World Series as the powerful New York Yankees cinched the "nickel-series" yesterday with a 3 to 1 win over the colorful Brooklyn Dodgers. Maybe the Yankees had the "breaks" in this particular series but they won by the decisive margin of four games to one which is hard to match. It was the 13th American league triumph in the last 21 years of World Series.
The Yankees seem to be invincible. From 1936 to 1939, Joe McCarthy's boys took everything the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs, and Cincinnati Reds had to offer, and tore them apart. After a year's lapse, which saw the passing of Lou Gehrig, one of the finest men of sports history, the Yankees came back this summer. With two rookies, Johnny Sturm and Phil Rizzuto leading the way, they proceeded to annihilate the American League and continued at a formidable clip into the World Series.
It was the fifth world championship for the Yankees in the last six years, and for that reason alone, the majority of the sporting public was rooting for the 'bums' from Brooklyn.
The toughest single thing to take was Mickey Owen's bobble of the third strike in Sunday's climax do-or-die game. This was the turning point of the series. If Owen had caught Casey's last strike, it would have deadlocked the count at two games apiece. It was a hard way to lose the series, but the Dodgers did their best and it wasn't enough.
MISSOURI LOOKS GOOD
Don Faurot's Missouri Tigers were boosted in prestige Saturday, more from the result of the Ohio State-Southern Cal. game, than their own 21 to 6 victory over Colorado. Ohio State, under a new grid mentor, Paul Brown, had a tough time defeating Missouri two weeks ago 12 to 7. Yet a weekend later, Ohio State crushes a supposedly fine U.S.C. eleven 33 to 0. Missouri must have a pretty fair country ball club.
In wrapping up a Colorado Buffalo for their first victim for the season, the Tigers from Columbia achieved their ends in a spectacular manner. The three Missouri touchdowns were long runs of 64, 65, and 73 yards by "Red" Wade, Bob Steuber, and Harry Ice respectively.
OKLAHOMA TEST AHEAD
The Oklahoma Sooners, idle last week, tangle with Dana Bible's great Texas team this Saturday in the Big Six's feature contest. Texas trampled their first two opponents, Colorado and Louisiana State, by score of 34-6 and 34-0 respectively. In contrast, Luster's boys from Norman needed plenty of breaks and fumbles to down the Oklahoma Aggies 19-0.
It will be Texas' Jack Crain and Pete Layden pitted against Oklahoma's Orv Mathews and Jack Jacobs. Texas will have the advantage of a veteran line from end to end, while the Sooners will depend upon a trio of potential All-Americans, tackles Roger Eason and Howie Teeter, and guard "Fats" Harris, to bolster their uncertain defense. It promises to be a whale of a game.

The All-University golf and tennis tournament rules and regulations have been announced by the intramural board, and all those interested in competing must have their entry blanks in by October 10.

Huskers Loom Strong Enough to Retain Jinx
For 25 long years, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have held sway over the Kansas Jayhawkers and although tied on several occasions, the boys from Lincoln have never lost to Kansas in the last quarter of a century. Cool, confident, and smug

from being on top for such a long period of time, the Cornhuskers are rating this year's Kansas game, as their usual pushover, or breather.
The Jayhawkers always play their best brand of football at Lincoln. In the last three trips to Lincoln, the Kansas team has come close

Big Six Teams Breath Easy As Rain Prevails
With the rain halting practice in most of the Big Six camps, moving pictures of Saturday's games were studied yesterday while actual field practice was temporarily postponed.
At Lincoln, Coach Lawrence M. Jones reminded his Huskers of their leaky pass defense. With the showing of moving pictures taken at the Iowa State game, Coach "Biff" Jones pointed out the mistakes in pass defense which allowed the Cyclones to complete twelve tosses. Also, Jones stressed defense against Ralph Miller's passing talent which will be on exhibition next Saturday in Nebraska's opening game with K.U.
The Iowa State Cyclones rested yesterday and watched movies of the Nebraska game. Having an open date this weekend, Coach Ray Donals will have two weeks in which to prepare the Cyclones for their homecoming game with Missouri, October 18.
After a week of comparatively light practice Coach Luster's Oklahoma Sooners are bearing down this week with heavy signal drill, priming themselves for the dreaded Texas Longhorns. Trainer Ted Owens reported that the squad is in good shape after the frosh game last Saturday.
Returning home after their crushing defeat at the hands of Northwestern, the Kansas State Wildcats continued practice behind closed gates yesterday. A picked squad of freshmen ran Missouri plays against the varsity, tuning up the Wildcats for their contest with M.U. next Saturday at Columbia.
Drilling on offense and defense, the first and second teams of Missouri sloshed through the mud yesterday in preparation for the Kansas State game Saturday. The entire squad viewed movies of the Colorado game.
Added emphasis on home economics training is expected to boost enrollment of women students at the University of California college of agriculture.
