Jayhawks Head for Washington
Kansas To Try Ground Game On Colonials
The Kansas Jayhawk football team left Lawrence this afternoon with only one object in mind—to overpower George Washington Saturday so that no doubt will be left in the minds of Big Six critics as to the rejuvenation of the team.
George Washington is favored by most experts to win by two or more touchdowns, but these experts did not see the Kansans in action against Oklahoma. If they had, they would have watched as versatile an offense as any in the conference. The backfield combination of Ed Hall, Ed Suagee, Don Pollom, and Jake Fry displayed brilliance in running, punting, and passing.
Concentrate on Trick Plays
Coach Gwinn Henry's new offensive maneuvers have turned the trick of opening up defensive formations. The Jayhawkers continued to concentrate on his screen passes and fake line bucks in practice last night. Three teams were kept hopping by the crisp weather, polishing up the formations against the freshman squad.
George Washington's wide end sweeps with a screen of blockers and power bucks were demonstrated. Kansas was defeated by the Colonials last fall mainly on the strength of those wide sweeps.
The Jayhawker passing game which has been unsuccessful this season is scheduled for a back seat. The running of Ed Hall, Jake Fry, and Don Pollom came into its own against the Sooners. Hall's line cracking should close up the Colonial defense so that Pollom and Fry can shake loose for large gains or those long-awaited touchdown runs. Many times have these two rabbits broken into the clear only to be downed by the last man.
Center Don Pierce has been troubled by a charley horse but this will not keep the burly senior from playing his usual game. At the guards, Herb Hartman and Bob Fluker, subbing for the early-season duo of Jay Kern and Quido Massare, have been unexpected strengths. Ross Relph and W. F. Jack at tackles and Hub Ulrich and Ward Crowell or Paul Hardman at ends complete the starting eleven.
Coach Bill Reinhart's gridders have been licking their wounds from their 0 to 10 tie with Bucknell. With a season's record of four victories, two losses and one tie the Colonials are headed for their best record in years.
The Jayhawks will hold a light workout at Martinsburg, Va., tomorrow afternoon.
Intramural Managers Draw Playoff Brackets Saturday
A meeting of all intramural managers will be held at 11 o'clock Saturday morning in Robinson gymnasium for the drawing up of the championship playoff brackets. All teams qualifying for the playoffs should have their manager or a representative present at the meeting.
'36' Quintet Battles Varsity Nov. 26
Basketball will emerge from its fall subordination Tuesday, Nov. 26, with as glittering an array of court talent as has ever performed on Mount Oread when the ever-victorious team of 1936 will return to clash with the 1940-41 edition of Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's varsity cage machine in Hoch auditorium.
Ray Ebling, three times all-Big Six performer and twice All-American while in school, will lead the returning veterans. Milton Allen, Ray Noble, Francis Kappleman, and Paul
KAPPLEMAN
Rogers are other members of that team which won 23 consecutive games before being downed by Utah State in the Olympic playoffs in Kansas City.
Pralle A Doubtful Participant
Fred Pralle, all-Big Six sophomore guard in that year, will be a doubtful participant because the A.A.U. champion Phillips "66" team of which he is a member is scheduled to play
2-Milers Ready For Big Six Meet
Coach Bill Hargiss' 2-mile队 wound up its training yesterday in preparation for the Big Six championship 2-mile team race at Columbia Saturday. The squad will leave tomorrow.
Don Thompson, Dick Edwards, Clarence Miller, and Russell Mount are rated behind the Nebraska and Oklahoma quartets, but their performances in practice runs have been improving steadily. Neither Thompson nor Edwards can be expected to lead the pack of 24 harriers with Roy Ginn and Harold Brooks of Nebraska and Bill Lyda of Oklahoma in the field.
Kansas' hopes lie in Miller and Mount. Edwards and Thompson are expected to finish near the head of the pack. If Miller and Mount come in among the first twelve the Jayhawks' composite score will be among the lowest recorded.
Oklahoma, with Bill Lyda and Dick Smethers, has defeated both Kansas State and Nebraska in dual meets. Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa State are at a disadvantage, having competed in only one meet this season.
Kansas State, defending champion, is given small chance of repeating. Thaine High, third last year, is the only Wildcat star. The Wildcats have won the title four years in succession.

in Madison Square Garden the latter part of this month.
Augmenting this all-star varsity lineup will be Freshman Basketball Coach Gordon Gray, graduate of 1935, and three members of last year's National N.C.A.A. finalists, Don Ebling, Dick Harp, and Bruce Voran.
Play Freshmen Dec. 6
Coach Allen also announced another practice game for his varsity players before they tangle with the University of Texas Longhorns here Dec. 9 and 10. This contest is the postponed freshman-varsity tilt which now is to be played Friday, Dec. 6.
Allen has issued a statement to his athletes warning them that no player will be eligible to participate in either of the two practice games unless he has a "C" average in all of his courses. This is not a Big Six Conference eligibility requirement but a rule of Allen's own making.
With mid-semesters a thing of the past, varsity basketball practices are being swelled constantly with new men reporting every night in an effort to secure one of the 13 pullman

tickets available to players for the Christmas holiday trip to New York.
Last night's practice found the varsity engaging in the hottest scrimmage session of the year as they were downed by a red-hot second team paced by Vance Hall, sophomore from Downs, who tallied nine goals in his team's 42 to 40 victory. Howard Engleman led the varsity although he was off his form of the
previous night when the varsity triumphed 28 to 14.
Performing for the varsity last night were John Buescher, Bill Hogben, Bob Allen, John Kline, and Engleman. The seconds had T. P. Hunter, Marvin Sollenberger, Jim Arnold, Norman Sanneman, and Hall. Other players who showed considerable promise in the scrimage were Charlie "Hutch" Walker, Bob Johnson, and John Hallberg. Allen Adair New Formation
