Colonials Should Better Last Year's Record
---And Eight Regulars
After a slow start in 1939, George Washington, the Jayhawks' hosts Saturday, began rolling late in October and when the season was completed, the score board showed five victories and three defeats. With eight regulars among the 17 lettermen returning and the cream of the best freshman team in years, Coach Bill Reinhart's blue-clad Colonials figure to improve upon that record in the present campaign.
Four of the seven linemen, who composed one of the strongest forward walls in the East last year, and the entire first string backfield were among the 38 players who reported for practice on Sept. 9. In addition, Reinhart has eight letter-winners to plug gaps in the line caused by graduation and a host of experienced reserves to reinforce his starting backfield.

Colonials lost one of the best ends in Hart's other major problem has been to find suitable replacements for the George Washington history. However, the present supply of ends, tackle slots which were also left headed by lettermen Johnny Picco vacant by graduation. Tony Bar- and Frank August, provide adequate auskas, 220 pound two-time letter
winner, is filling one of the openings,

Snyder, and Bill Slovanic and Juniors

fight is out for the other starting assignment.
The guard positions are giving Reinhart no trouble at all. George Washington is getting its best blocking and all-round guard play in years from veterans John Kokoski, Stanley Ziobro, Tim Swett, Dean Reese, and Floyd McGlimn, and newcomers Ellis Hall and Henry Agusiewicz.
Bulwark of the Colonial line is "Iron Mike" Monchlovich, 195-pound junior center, who saw 60-minute service in the major games last fall. One of the squad's best blockers, Monchlovich excels as a line-backer and on pass defense. Two sophomores, Bob Kranich and Willard Blackburn, will serve as understudies at the center post.
Backfield is Powerful
If Reinhart is pleased with the way his line shapes up, he should feel even better when he looks at his backfield. Last year's high powered quartet of
Tom Grady and Buck Booth at halfback, Sam Babich at quarter, and Walt Fedora at fullback give him a hard running, hard blocking, experienced set of backs who provide a versatile, powerful offense. Behind these starters, the Colonials coach has two veterans tailbacks in Ken Batson and Ed Wilamoski, a jack-of-all-trades reserve in Walter Weale, and two able fullback replacements in Don Seibert and Babe Nugent.
In 1939, George Washington dropped three games while winning five. The losses, all of which were by a margin of one touchdown, were to Butler, Georgetown, and Clemson. The crack Colonial line held Clemson, one of the best teams in the national last year, to a 13 to 6 triumph. After the game, Clemson's Coach Jess Neely, who since has been promoted to Rice, stamped the George Washington forward wall as the best his eleven had played against all season, and that included the mammoth line boasted by Tulane's Green Wave.
Kansas To Invade East Again
George Washington Is Next On Schedule
Determined that the upswing which began with the surprising resistance they showed in the Oklahoma game will continue against George Washington Saturday, Gwinn Henry and his Kansas Jayhawks began practice yesterday for their second Eastern invasion of the year.
The Kansas gridmen will wind up a short week of practice tomorrow and entrain at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon for Washington, D.C., where they are scheduled to play the George Washington-
2-Milers Prepare For Big Six Race
ington Colonials in Griffith
With only one two-mile meet under their belts—the 18 to 18 tie with Kansas State—members of Coach Bill Hargiss' promising quartet are entering their last week of training for the Big Six two-mile race to be run at Columbia Saturday, Nov. 16.
On the basis of these performances, Nebraska is rated the favorite. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas State have the inside track on second place and Missouri and Iowa State complete the list of starters.
Don Thompson, Dick Edwards, Clarence Miller, and Russell Mount have been keeping up with Ray Harris, star distance man of last year's team. Harris paces the team over a cross-country layout every night. Coach Hargiss says that the condition of the team is much better than at the time of the Wildcat meet.
The performance of Nebraska runners in their last meet establishes them as favorites. Roy Ginn, sophomore find, has been flirting with the 9:40 mark while Harold Brooks has broken 9:50.
Captain Thaine High and Verl McClellan lead K-State in defense of its 1939 championship.
ington Colonials In Stadium, home of the Washington Senators baseball club. Third Jayhawk Appearance
Saturday's game will mark the Jayhawks' third grid appearance in the nation's capital. Besides playing there two years ago, the Kansas eleven also tangled with the Colonials back East in 1933.
In the last two games with George Washington, the Jayhawks have outgained their opponents by a wide margin but have been unable to punch over touchdowns when the opportunity presented itself. The Colonials edged past Kansas 9 to 7 in 1338 and won by a 14 to 7 score in 1939.
Barauskas A Mainstay
Tony Barauskas, big George Washington tackle, was the villain who sent the Jayhawks down to defeat two years ago. With the score tied 7 to 7 in the last quarter, Barauskas crashed through to block a kick by Paul Masoner and send the ball bounding clear through the end zone. Now a senior, Barauskas is one of the mainstays of the Colonial line.
Kansas made 13 first downs to 5 for Coach Bill Reinhart's eleven in that 1938 game. The Crimson and Blue gridmen outgained George Washington 200 yards to 105 from rushing and 115 to 27 from passing.

Last fall, the Jayhawks rolled up
Houston, Tex., Nov. 12-(UP) Lawson Little was looking for a big piece of parchment today because he wants to start a petition.
BY HENRY McLEMORE
He wants to start it right away, and would appreciate your signing it with him.
Sports Parade
Lawson wants to start a petition to have the 1941 Open Golf Championship moved from the Colonial club at Fort Worth, Texas, where it has been assigned to—well, to anywhere outside of Texas.
Lawson has met a Texan in Texas, and he wants no more of it.
No Texans For Him
He does not care, as National Open Champion, to defend that title, the best in all golf, on a Texas course against a field that includes any man who was born in Texas, or whose parents were born in Texas, or even passed through Texas on their honey-moon.
The man who made Little feel this way is Jimmy Demaret, a Texan whose forefathers knocked off 15 or 20 of the Alamo beesigers, and using only nibbles and brassies.
Demaret challenged Little to a 72-hole match, to be played over the Brae Burn Country club. That is where Demaret works. Little accepted.
They had a good swing then, and Demaret inherited it.
Demaret The Winner
The match started on Sunday and ended yesterday on the 65th hole with Demaret the winner, 9 to 7.
Before the match started Houston golf folk were offering as high as 4 to 1 that Demaret would win. This generosity was based partly on the fact that Demaret is one of the world's greatest golfers and partly on the belief that outsiders just don't beat Texans on their home grounds.
It was pointed out that the only time Demaret had ever been beaten at Brae Burn was by another Texan-Byron Nelson.
Little Goes Overboard
Little, who has always held a high regard for Demaret's game, went overboard for the handsome, smiling, happy-go-lucky Demaret at the end of the match.
I'll take him against any player in the country on a course that requires variety of golf shots," Little said today. "Demaret is one of the finest shotmakers I have ever seen. At Brae Burn we played over a fine course that was extra tough because of the heavy rain and a high wind.
But Jimmy had an answer for every situation.
He played pretty well, but he was 13 under par for the 65 holes he needed to beat me, and during those 65 holes he showed me a whale of a repertoire of real golf shots."
Demaret was as modest in victory as always.
