Big Six Teams Point For Openers
Coach Hobbs Adams has been grooming his Kansas State huskies for their opening tilt with the Fort Hays State College Tigers. "Remember 1935" has been the Wildcats' battle cry, for in 1935 the Hays gridders upset Kansas State by a field goal, 3 to 0. With Max Timmons out with a sprained ankle Coach Adams may give the starting call to a brother combination. Ray Rokey, senior letterman, has been at the quarterback post with his sophomore brother, Ned, replacing Timmons.
Timmons is expected to see little if any action tomorrow. Ned Rokey at left half will be paired with John Bortka, sophomore right halfback, and either Kent Duwe or Lyle Wilkins at fullback. Concentrating upon long defensive drill Coach Adams

12-year-old Hiker Finds Ride Home
Lower Merion, Pa., Sept. 26.—(UP) Joseph Walter Jones, 12-year-old Kansas City, Mo., boy whose parents notified police he would have to get home the same way he left - by hitch-hiking - started back in style today.
Joe was picked up by Camden, N. J., police Tuesday but his parents said to turn him loose and let him return the same way he started out "to see the world." So Joe started his thumb-jerking trip back to Kansas City.
Lower Merion police picked him up yesterday as he plodded along the Lancaster Fike and gave him supper and a place to sleep. Sgt James Smythe raised $5.90 among his mates and then found a welfare agency to make up the difference for train fare.
"Gosh," Smythe said, "if every police department on the way stopped him, the poor kid might not get home for Christmas."

-Down at Norman the Oklahoma Sooners have been spending most of their time in skull practice on Coach Dewey Luster's secret plays. The Sooners open against their arch rivals, the Oklahoma Aggies, and Coach Luster believes his squad is in good physical condition.
Tapering off with light offensive and defensive drill, the Missouri Tigers finished preparations for their game with Ohio State.
With a squad of twenty-nine the Iowa State College football team will take the fie'd against Denver University tomorrow at Denver. The Denver griders downed the Cyclones 14 to 7 last year and Coach Ray Donels indicated he would rely on a team of ten lettermen and a reserve from last year's squad to avenge the defeat.
Nebraska remains idle, opening their season against Iowa State next week at Ames.
Badminton Star To Give Exhibit Here Tomorrow

SPORTS SLANTS----
As coach of the Evanston Country Club in Chicago, Shedd developed some of the most outstanding players in the Mid-west. His fame for the great part, rests on his extremely deceptive and tricky shots.

ANDY TOMASIC OF TEMPLE
"Handy Andy" Tomasic has been balleyhoed for the past two weeks in the Kansan. Now at last, figures on Tomasic's 1940 record have been obtained, and Jayhawker fans can read and judge for themselves. Tomatic gained 718 yards by rushing, completed 50 out of 89 passes for 650 yards (8 touchdown pegs), ran back punts and kickoffs for 456 yards, tallied 46 points personally and had a hand in registering 58 other points.
In compiling this splendid statistical record, Andy was performing against the best teams in the country. Boston College, Georgetown, Villanova, Penn State, Oklahoma, Michigan State, and Holy Cross. In his team's 33 to 20 defeat at the hands of Boston College, Tomasic outshone the Eagle's great Charley O'Rourke.
One football scout who saw both Frank Reagen of Penn and Tomasic in action, insists that the 180-pound Temple hurricane was much better. Three of the East's best coaches told Frank Graham of the New York Sun that Tomasic is the most outstanding back they saw all season. Mark down Tomasic as a 1941 All-American and a member of the Jayhawker's all-opponent team.

Dodger Fans Go Wild As Brooks Win Title
Brooklyn, Sept. 26 — (UP)—The patience of the country's most loyal baseball fans had its reward today—the National League pennant bestowed upon the erstwhile bums of the sports world, the Brooklyn Dodgers, at the end of a frenzied, nip-an-tuck race.
910 Mass.
Next Wednesday these Brooklyn Dodgers open the 1941 World Series in Yankee stadium against the New York Yankees, again champions of the American League. It will be another of the "subway world series" which have been deplored before as centering baseball in this one city, to the detriment of baseball in the rest of the country. But this one will be different. The sterling qualities of the Brooklyn fans who had remained doggedly loyal to "our bums" through the lean years, had won practically the entire country to their side.
There was a tumultuous celebration in Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan last night when the team arrived from Boston where it clinched the pennant by defeating the Boston Braves, 6 to 0, while the Pittsburgh Pirates were defeating the runner-up St. Louis Cardinals, 3 to 1. The hysterical, frenzied mob tore the shirts off their heroes, waving such placards as "our bums done it," and "Durocher for mayor." It would have done more but there were too many policemen on hand.
Heights, but on the whole the night passed without major incident. The fans had waited 21 years for their pennant and now that they had it, they found it difficult to believe.
There was tumult on a smaller scale at the various hotels here where the players live, when they arrived from Manhattan, but police kept it mild. Until bars and taverns closed at 4 a.m., fans filled the night with a frenzied jabbering, intermingled with cheers. There were impromptu parades along Flatbush avenue and even through wealthy and sedate Bay Ridge and Brooklyn
The loyalty of these fans challenges language. Not since 1920, when "Uncle" Wilbert Robinson brought a team down in front, have they had a team they could take pride in. They have had to remain loyal to some of the worst teams to participate in the major leagues, to submit, uncomplainingly, to clownish ineptitude that earned those past teams the well deserved appellation, "the bums." It seemed that the stockholders felt there was no need to spend money on the team, since, no matter how bad the team was, these fans filled the Ebbets field stands.
This state of affairs lasted some 15 years. Then there began a drastic falling off of attendance and the stockholders engaged Larry McPhail, baseball's ace troubleshooter, as general manager, and loosened their purse strings. McPhail bought players with a lavish hand and attendance bounced up. McPhail presented his fans with the championship.
The phenomenon of Brooklyn and Brooklyn fans is understood unthinkingly by New Yorkers and is rarely explained to outsiders. Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, across the East river from the borough of Manhattan which is all of New York most visitors see, and it has a national reputation of being a mad-house sort of place where the citizens speak a peculiar dialect, indulge in strange antics, and tolerate horror-ridden slums.
Actually, it is the borough where the resident of Cleveland or Minne-
