Elbel Plans Intramural Rule Demonstration

Along with these blanks a list of rules and directions was sent which is intended to help speed up the program by keeping the intramural managers well informed on the fall sports program.
The general rules are much the same as last year, no major change being made. The list of names of boys for football must be turned into Watkins Hospital by Saturday, Sept. 27. By Monday all entry blanks for handball, horseshoes, tennis, and football must be at the Intramural Office.
Again this year there will be a demonstration and interpretation of touch-football rules. Dr. Elbel urges every man who expects to play intramural football to be present. This demonstration will take place Thursday, Oct. 2.
All football games are officiated by qualified students. Anyone may volunteer for officiating. There are rule interpretation classes being conducted for new officials. These classes start today.

(continued from page four) has another week of practice before opening against Iowa State at Ames Oct. 4.
Kansas State's Wildcats tore a select freshman line to shreds as cool weather brought ideal football weather to Manhattan. Max Timmons, blocking back, will be lost to Coach Adams for the Wildcat's debut against Fort Hays State.
Big Doin's Planned For Game
Big plans are being made by the Milwaukee, Wis., alumni members for the entertainment of the Kansas delegation in that city for the University of Kansas-Marquette university football vame to be held there October 13, according to word received here at the alumni office.
Goest of honor for the day will be Chancellor Deane W. Mallot. Other important University faculty members and graduates will be in attendance.
Headquarters for the day's crowded activities will be at the Ambassador hotel. The gridiron tilt which will climax the day's events will begin at 8 o'clock. Seats have been reserved along the 50-yard line for the Kansas delegation.
Miller, Evans, Niblo, Ettinger JayhawkBackfieldPacksVersatility
A star-studded backfield, in which not one but four triple-threat men cavort, is the gridiron picture at the University of Kansas this fall
Sizeable, as well as versatile, the Jayhawk backs can hold their own on defense as well as when they have possession of the ball. Shortest of the four first string backs is Ray Evans of Kansas City, Kan. at 6 feet 1.
Evans has lost some weight since practice began, with all of the other three backs picking up pounds. The latter three all reported weighing less than their usual playing weight and have been getting back to that level.
With Evans at 181, Ray Niblo of Dallas, Tex., is expected to play at about 185 and Don Ettinger of Independence, Mo., should be around 190. Ralph Miller of Chanute, with a "string bean" build, is gradually working his way back up to 175 pounds.
In Coach Gwinn Henry's "spinner wing" style of offense, the backs spend most of their time decaying rather than blocking, so that the versatility of the starting K. U. backs should add greatly to the deception of the attack. The fact that any one of the backs may pass, run or kick will make it that much
Miller, who topped the nation's passers in percentage of completions in 1939, will have ample support at the aerial game. Niblo is a talented passer in his own right, with Evans and Ettinger better than average hurlers.
Ettinger, in fact, has looked the best of the four at times on short passes. On the basis of Miller's past record, however, Ralph can be counted on to carry the brunt of the aerial offensive.
halfback since Jim Bausch let Mount Oread. Evans has speed to burn, along with his power.
Top honors in the ball carrying department may go to Evans, probably the hardest running Jayhawk
Nilo is an exceptional ball carrier, with the ability to either run over or around a tackler, depending on which seems the wiser. Etinger has the line smashing power needed at fullback and Miller's ball carrying is likely to be a revelation, now that his knee is well again.
All four are fine kickers with Niblo and Evans doing the main battling for the punting chore. Niblo is a real precision kicker, with Evans developing rapidly as a distance punter.
Little Known Facts About Big Six Teams
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 25—(UP)—A few items that won't be in Saturday's stories about Big Six football teams.
Tadao Murashige is the new Missouri water boy. He is a Japanese from Hawaii and kicks a football barefooted, getting 50 and 60 yards consistently. The plavers call him Charlev. rights 35 straight times, then got into
Royal Lohry, Iowa State's top forward passer, got his nickname of "Ace" because coach Ray Donels told the squad he dreamed he visited Lohry's home town friends in Sioux City where everyone called him that.
Three bits of steel the defense program won't get may help hold together the Kansas backfield. Ray Evans is wearing a steel encased shoe for his twice-broken foot, Ralph Miller a steel knee band and Don Pollom a steel back brace.
Joseph A. Brandt, Oklahoma's new president, just wanted to say a few words to the football team this week, but he had to argue 10 minutes with the stadium gate keeper before he could get on the practice field. He was just another curious guy as far as coach Dewey Luster's sentries were concerned. Luster is as close-mouthed as an admiral about his new offensive formations and isn't taking any chances on scouts from Texas or Oklahoma A. & M.
Attention national league managers —Guy Curtwright, new coach of the Missouri Tiger B team played Texas league baseball with Shreveport and says he never had trouble hitting Howard Pollet, the St. Louis Cardinals' brilliant young pitcher just up from Houston.
Football players who kick about early season hot weather get no sympathy from Ted Owen, Oklahoma's trainer. Owen says baseball teams go south in the spring to condition and that football teams should be thankful for the hot weather. Until the season gets into full swing, Owen wants hot weather, the hotter the better.
Babe Spencer, varsity baseball pitcher, didn't come out for football at Missouri but when he dropped into a practice session and heard coach Don Faurot complaining about the place kicking, he decided to give it a try. Without changing clothes he kicked the ball through the up-
rights 35 straight times, then get into an argument about the count. To settle it he started over and went 37 times without missing. He's a regular now, slated to convert the Tiger's extra points.
Next year we'll show 'em section. Kansas State has a freshman squad of 87 and the yearling coaches won't get to send their first string into heavy scrimmage with the varsity until later in the season. Varsity coach Hobbs Adams is afraid some of the regulars will get hurt. The freshies are that big and tough.
