Jayhawks Use Deception
on the SPORTS CARD By BOB TRUMP
Northwestern Could Use Chet Gibbens . . . But What Team Couldn't . . . Orv Mathews Plays In Hard Luck . . . Many of His Long Runs Have Been Called Back Because of Oklahoma Penalties.
Recalling Northwestern's one point defeat last Saturday at the hands of Minnesota's Golden Gophers, Gene (Topeka Capital) Kemper suggests that our own Chet Gibbens might find steady employment on the Evanston grid team.
"Sometimes it seems a pity that college football teams can't swap players as the pros do." Kemper wrote yesterday. "If such were the case, Kansas could trade dropkicking Chet Gibbens who is underworked for the Northwestern third team and probably would be asked no boot. That would relieve much of our worry about K.U. material and at the same time, give Chet regular Saturday employment at his specialty."
ALTHOUGH THE statisticians haven't recorded it, Orv Mathews, Sooner right halfback, probably has had more yards clipped from his long runs because of penalties than any other football player in the country. Mathews, who is rated as the fastest gridman in the Big Six, has had more than 200 yards and several touchdowns taken away from him this season because of transgressions on the part of his fellow Oklahomans.
Mathews' greatest loss of yardage occurred in the first game of his Sooner career last year against the Southern Methodist Mustangs. An offside penalty recalled a 32 yard run he made early in the contest. Later in the afternoon, he intercepted a Mustang pass and returned it 50 yards, nearly getting away for a touchdown. Once again the referee's whistle blew. This time the Sooners had drawn a clipping penalty.

Passes, Fake Plays Feature Long Drill
Oklahoma's slow huge line may have trouble deciphering the "now you see it, now you don't" tactics employed by three varsity elevens in dummy scrimmage against the freshmen last night. The cold snap kept the gridders moving briskly perfecting Coach Gwinn Henry's new magic.

In a first string backfield, Ea and Jake Fry ran through elaborate fake plays that had the frosh baffled. An off-tackle shovel pass and fake line-buck lateral and forward pass combination appeared the best of the lot.
Alternate Three Teams
Coach Henry kept the three teams operating against two yearling groups. He continued to play Ross Relph in place of Jim Holloway at tackle. Ward Crowell remained at an end position, but Paul Hardman, who replaced him in the Kansas State game, is recovering from a broken nose and may oust Crowell from the starting lineup again.
The Sooner ends, weakest links in the powerful line, are in for plenty of work. Pollom and Fry ran end sweeps yesterday against the freshmen on fake line-buck plays.
Ed Hall's passing continued to improve. The burly senior has been tossing them in practice the last two weeks since Marvin Vandaveer was injured in the Wildcat contest. He was hitting Ulrich, Crowell, Fry, and Pololl regularly.

Vandaveer operated with the second backfield which also was successful in fooling the frosh linenen with the same fake plays.

Ray Evans yesterday impersonated both Jack Jacobs and Johnny Martin as he gave the varsity a taste of what to expect when it lines up against them. The frush used the Sooners' powerful single and double wing attack which concentrates on the opposing tackles.
Teams Coached by Former Jayhawks Clash Tomorrow
Football teams coached by former Jayhawk grid stars will clash at 7:30 tomorrow night in Haskell stadium when Lawrence high school, ranked among the outstanding elevens in the state, plays Garnett high school. The Lawrence team is coached by Elmer Schaake. The Garnett coach is Paul Masoner.
Holy Terror on Defense Ulrich Stars at End

All-School Fencing Tourney
Ulrich is a holy terror on defense. Running wide plays at his end of the line is just a waste of time, as opposing teams soon find out. After neatly smearing the interference, Hubert then

The tourney is under the direction of Fencing Coach Jim Raport. Entries should be given to Raport, Haven Glassmire or Betty Allen.

He may be young, but "The Kid"
HUBERT ULRICH
is by no means small. Standing 6 feet 1 inch tall, Ulrich scales in at around 194 pounds. He is still growing fast and should weigh 200 pounds for the 1941 campaign.
Handsome Hubert is not as proficient at end on offense as he is on defense, but is coming fast in this department as well. His main difficulty here is that he was a blocking back as a freshman and did not start playing end until the following spring.
A new "ham and eggs" plan for California is the only evidence discernible in the day's news that indicates all's well with the world.
Three Teams Post 6-Point Victory Marqin
Six to 0 seemed to be the score of the day in yesterday's intramural football contests. Three games were played and all victories were gained by this six-point margin.
Phi Gamma Delta downed Beta Theta Pi, defending champion, and rang up its fifth consecutive victory of the season. Sigma Chi defeated Sigma Nu to remain unbeaten nad the Newman Club turned back Tau Kappa Epsilon. Phi Delta Theta won by forfeit from Alpha Chi Sigma.
Come Back In Third Period
The Phi Gam's came back in the third quarter to score, after having been outplayed in the opening two periods. A long pass from Dick Reid, Fiji passing ace, to Bevan resulted in the Phi Gam touchdown. The only Beta scoring opportunity came late in the second quarter when a 30 yard heave from Geiger to teammate Stoland, put the ball on the 5 yard line. Four plays were tried and failed.
Failure of Beta plays throughout the game might be attributed to its five-man backfield, the fifth member being Bill Bevan, stellar Phi Gam end. Bevan was the star of the game, offensively and defensively. Recognition should also be given to Phi Gam's Smith, Sherer, and Long—three splendid blockers for passer Reid. Standouts for the Betas were Litttooy, Lillard, and Eberhardt.
Newman Wins Through Air
A 15 yard aerial from Joe Fournier, star Newman Club back, to Lee Barry, gave his team a touchdown in the second quarter which was guarded zealously for the remainder of the contest. Dalyrmple sparked the Teke attack throughout the game.
Sigma Chi moved a notch closer to the Sig Alph's and Phi Psi's in Division II by triumphing for the third time. Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi back, tossed a 25 yard pass to Larry Smith in the third quarter for the winning tally. The Sigma Nu's, led by Stone and Isreal, threatened several times but lacked the necessary scoring punch.
Correction on the Sig Alph "B"—Jayhawk Co-op game which was published incorrectly in the Kansan yesterday—the Co-op team won 19 to 6 from the Sig Alph's.
LOUIS SHARPE PAUL NOBOSON
Louis "Treetop" Sharpe and Paul Woodson will perform at end and guard respectively for the second place Oklahoma Sooners when they meet the Kansas Jayhawks in Saturday's Homecoming battle.
