Ulrich Heads Quartet of Versatile Ends

RALPH SCHRAKE
HUBERT ULRICH
BOB HAGEN
Coach Gwinn Henry has been well-fortified in ends this fall, with four wingmen, all capable of being regulars on most college elevens. At left ends he has Hub Ulrich and Ralph Schaake. Ulrich is a senior, stands 6' 1", is twenty, and weighs 198. "Hub" has lettered for two years and was rated as one of the finest in the valley last year. Schaake, 6' 4", 192 pounds, a two-
PAUL HARDMAN
The right ends, Paul Hardman and Bob Hagen, have been battling it out for the starting berth, with Hardman holding a slight edge at the present time. Hardman, is a junior, stands 6' 1", weighs 183, and has been used, to some extent this season, as second string center. Hagen, also a junior, is a Lawrence boy, 5' 11", weighs 184, and excels in blocking.
year letterman, showed up well against Temple.
Sports Slants By Clint Kanaga
A bouquet should be handed to each and every member of the student body who turned out in rain and cold weather for the rally at the Santa Fe station last Sunday afternoon. Gwinn Henry remarked at a rally last year that he had the finest student body in America and some 400 loyal Kansas supporters, from W. W. Davis (head of the athletic board) to the campus beauty queens, were on hand to prove the truth of Henry's words.
STUDENTS SHOW SWELL SPIRIT
The members of the football team all sincerely felt the words expressed by Ralph Miller who said that "it was the greatest thing he had ever seen in four years at K.U." If the student body can continue to show such spirit, the team will do its best to justify our loyalty.
THE KANSAN ROSE BOWL TRIP
Ray Evans, Henry Skorga, Kenneth Nicolay, Kenneth Ketchum, and Eloden Beebe are the five leading candidates for the Rose Bowl trip next January 1, 1942, in the subscription contest of the Daily Kansan. One of these students will be very fortunate, getting to witness the most colorful gridiron spectacle of the football season.
The 1941 Jan. 1 encounter was packed with thrills from start to finish, with Nebraska, Big Six champion in '40, falling before the famed "T" formation of Stanford 21 to 13. Skorga, or Evans, or whoever wins the trip, can count on seeing plenty of football fireworks.
Two years ago, Southern California pulled a surprise victory by humiliating a Tennessee team, unbeaten in two seasons, by a score of 14 to 0. A year before, this same Trojan crew dumped another highly touted Southern team, Duke, in the last minute of play, 7 to 3. Two U.S.C. subs, Doyle Nave and Al Krueger, collaborated on a 40-yard pass in the final seconds to spoil a spotless Duke record. Duke hadn't even been scored upon before this contest.
Going back much farther we can remember the Dixie Howell-Don Hutson pass combination which slaughtered a great Stanford team 29-13 in the 1953 game. Also can picture the national championship Pittsburgh eleven of 1936, paced by Marshall Goldberg, trampling a good Washington outfit 21-0. The most famous Rose Bowl incident was Roy Reigel's run to the wrong goal in 1929 which brought about the defeat of his team, California, 8-7 at the hands of Georgia Tech. Some candidate is sure going to get a wonderful trip.
SIDE-LINES
The Kansas freshmen football squad must have quality, as it lacks quantity in comparison with the other Big Six schools. The Kansas squad numbers 44, while Iowa State and Kansas State frosh totaled 94 and 88 members at their respective turnouts. . . . Nebraska has another set of climax runners this fall. Yesterday's practice found Allan Zikmund racing 80 yards for a touchdown on the second stringers, while a week ago, Zikmund's running mate, Dale Bradley, galloped 71 and 74 yards for touchdowns against the scrubs. . . .
John Buescher, sophomore basketball letterman from Beardstown, Ill., is expecting a 'big' year in the cage sport for Kansas and John... Incidentally, one of the best women intramural athletes on the campus, Betsy Dodge, is the new editor of the revised Sour Owl. ... The top four intramural football teams of last season will all depend upon new men to handle the passing position, the newcomers in the aerial field being Bill Mowery (Beta), John Conley (Phi Gam), Kenny Winters (Sig Alph), and Bob Patterson (Phi Delt). ...

Six Sophs Sure to Start
Sophomore Wayne Sundgren, former all-state end from Hays, Kan., learned there had been an error in his understanding of the number of hours he was studying last year, and he would be ineligible for the remainder of the season. Sundgren was rated as one of the top flight ends on the Wildcat squad. The Wildcats will taper off practice in Kansas City, Friday, enroute to Evanston for Saturday's contest with the Northwestern eleven.
Still hard-pressed by injuries, Coach Don Faurot continued to revamp his Tiger lineup, seeking to strengthen weak spots which were revealed in the Ohio State game. Both Jefferson Davis and Darold Jenkins reported for practice with the possi-
To further dampen Iowa State's hopes for a victory of Nebraska Saturday, Bob Lechtenberg and Paul Darling joined Royal Lohry on the Cyclone injured list. Lohry will probably see no action against the Big Six champions but the other two men should be ready, Coach Ray Donels said.
In an attempt to strengthen the Kansas State team for its battle with Northwestern at Evanston, Ill., Saturday, Coach Hobbs Adams made two major backfield changes yesterday. Mike Zeleznak, sophomore quarterback, was moved to the running half-back position and Dick Rodgers, a junior, was changed to the position of blocking back.
To guard against possible injuries in the Cornhusker squad Coach Biff Jones drilled the boys on pass attack and defense, steering clear of scrimmage and its danger of injuries. There is a unanimous belief among the Nebraska players that the Cyclones will be "plenty tough" and the champions have been drilling hard on Iowa State running formations. Nebraska has a total of nine lettermen in its starting eleven.
Injuries Strike Cyclones Again; Jenkins May Play

Coach Wayne Replogle seemed well satisfied with the performance of his squad. The weak position of the freshman line, at present, is at end. Coach Replogle seems to think that with a little more experience, the situation will take care of itself.
Using Washington's version of the Notre Dame shift, the freshmen football team went through an intensive scrimmage yesterday against the varsity. Throwing in an improvised sneaker play now and then, the yearlings hit the varsity line for nice gains. Kenny Thompson, former Wyandotte High School star, was the backbone of yesterday's scrimmage.
Mainstays in the Frost line are Dick Channel, and John Herrin with Kenny Tipps, Bill Palmer and Bob Stevenson doing a fine job in the backfield.
Frosh Rip K.U. Line
Two Men May Bump Regulars
Opening home game of the season for the University of Kansas Jayhawks put Coach Gwinn Henry's team up against Washington University's Bears, here, Saturday afternoon.
Six sophomores will be in the starting lineup for Kansas, but this time it will be with a tough game under their belts. The experience they gained in the game with Temple should show up in their play Saturday.
Only change in the Jayhawk's starting lineup may see Gene Long, 202 pound sophomore, at right tackle in place of Warren Hodges, another second year man, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Temple game. Hodges' injury is minor, however, and he will be ready to play.
Four seniors and a junior will round out the K.U. lineup. The solitary junior to win a starting berth this fall is Paul Hardman, who doubles as first string right end and second string center.
Washington, on the other hand, will field a veteran team, with six seniors and five juniors expected to get the starting call. The Bears' forward wall boasts plenty of experience, with five of the seven first string linemen being seniors.
The weight statistics show Kansas with a substantial advantage in the line and Washington having the heavier backs. K.U.'s forward wall averages 201 pounds to the man, compared to 185 for the St. Louis team. In the backfield, it is the Bears with a $5\frac{1}{2}$ pound to the man advantage, $187\frac{3}{4}$ to $182\frac{1}{4}$.
The battle for starting berths in the Kansas lineup is intense at several positions and Saturday's game will give the second stringers a chance to press their bids.
At right halfback, Don Pollom, a junior, is pushing Rhyne Nibol hard.
