UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
on the SPORTS CARD By BOB TRUMP
Sight of Five Masked Jayhawks May Give The Colonials A Shock. .Kansans Must Hurry Back From Washington.. "Old Brassic" Goes to Iowa State's Cyclones. . Stasica and Counsil Were Team Mates At Illinois.
Bill Reinhart's George Washington Colonials may be pardoned Saturday afternoon if they blink their eyes when the Jayhawks take the field against them for at least five of the Kansans will be wearing nose guards or masks of one type or another.
Relph, Pierce, Kern, Crowell, and Hardman all will appear in protective paraphernalia for the George Washington game. The last four Jayhawks named have been wearing these devices for several weeks and Pierce has been playing in his glasses all year, but Relph, who received a broken nose against Oklahoma, will don his nose guard for the first time.
The Kansas squad won't let any dust collect under its heels after the completion of the George Washington game. It will be necessary for Gwinn Henry and his athletes to board the first train out of Washington for Lawrence because a week from Thursday or just five days following their contest with the Colonials, the Jayhawks clash with Missouri's Tigers at Columbia.
Deep tones of "Old Brassie," the brass trophy bell which goes to the winner of the annual intrastate Drake-Iowa State battle, rang out across Clyde Williams Field at Ames last Saturday as the Cyclones posted a 7 to 6 victory over the Bulldogs. Presented for the first time last season, the 117-pound bell is mounted in an oak frame on which scores of the annual grid games are burned.
Most of the acquaintances between the Missouri and Colorado players who were on the opposite sides of the line at Boulder Saturday were impersonal in nature, but not so with Myron Counsil, Bengal fullback, and Leo Stasica, ace Buffalo back. Both athletes played on the same University of Illinois freshman team. Counsil transferred to Mizzou the following fall and has played all of his competition there, but Stasica remained at Illinois long enough to spend a year of varsity competition so has only this year left with the Buffs.
SEEK GRID PLAYOFF--playoff position. Phi Psi "C" and Sigma Chi "B", both undefeated, secured the positions from Division II. Going into the playoffs, several players on each of these title contenders have been standouts. Some of the players with all-star possibilities at this writing are as follows: Bevan, Smith, Reid, Phi Gams; Eberhardt, Stoland, Geiger, Betas; Cooper, Martin, Kresie, Sig Eges, Cheatham, Newcomer, McGee, Phi Delts; Hensley, Murfin, Morgan, Kappa Sig; Harp, Aiegelmeyer, Sig Alphs; Hyer, Smith, Malonee, Sigma Chi; Knight, Anderson, Phi Psi; Stone, Stephenson, Sigma Nu; Simpson, Weatherwax, Delta Tau Delta.
Jottings on the Jayhawks
Don Pierce, Kansas' great line backing center, went into the Oklahoma game with a charleyhorse in his left thigh and managed to acquire another in his right thigh to go with it. . The Lawrence high school football team, coached by Elmer Schaake, is rated as one of the three top interscholastic teams in Kansas this year. . Schaske, a former University of Kansas football and basketball star, has a brilliant tackle in Junius Penny, 190 pound senior, who is being eyed eagerly by Jayhawk coaches.
No University of Kansas football player had seen a full 60 minutes service in any game this year until the Oklahoma contest. . In that game five Jayhawks went the route. They were Hubert Ulrich, Ross Relph, Don Pierce, Ed Hall and Jake Fry. The smallest man on the University of Kansas football team, Jake Fry, looked like one of Singer's midgets alongside Oklahoma linemen in last Saturday's game.
Fry, who weighs 157 pounds, was going down the field under a punt Saturday and looked to his left, only to have the stadium fall on him from the right. . . When things stopped spinning, Jake discovered that what had hit him was "Fats" Harris, 240 pound Sooner guard, who had launched himself into the pit of Fry's stomach. . . Said Jake, "It was a good thing for Harris I hadn't eaten much dinner". . Graduation next spring will take the lone Indian on the Kansas squad this year, Ed Suagee, but the race will be represented on the 1941 squad by Gene Long, Indian tackle, who hails from Hevener, Okla.
