Henry Stresses Scoring Plays
Polishes Kansas Offense For Game With Villanova
Bv CHUCK ELLIOTT
Coach Gwinn Henry is all set to pull a few of his famous "touchdown" plays in Friday's nocturnal clash in Philadelphia's Shibe Park against the Villanova Wildcats.
During practice last night which consisted entirely of dummy scrimmage against two freshman lineups, Henry had three varsity teams concentrating on the perfection of timing and smoothness in their running and pass plays. The varsity also practiced

Jayhawks May Have Had Their "Breather" . . . Six Up And Two Down For Villanova Last Year . . . Wildcats Undefeated In 1937 and 1938. . . "Clipper" Starred At Notre Dame . . . Basea Will Bear Watching. . Wildcats Give Baylor An Argument.
Whether they won or not, the Jay hawks appear to have had their "breather" last week against Kansas State, because the Villanova Wildcats which they play Friday compare favorably with the rough Nebraska Cornhuskers, their opponents of two weeks ago.
Villanova's record last season showed six victories and two defeats. The losses came at the hands of Texas A. and M., rated by most experts as the nation's No. 1 team, and Auburn, another fine aggregation. The Villanova victims in 1939 included Arkansas, Temple, Manhattan, South Carolina, Detroit, and Muhlenberg.
In 1937 and 1938, the Wildcats rolled through their seasons undefeated and so last fall's loss to Texas A. and M. broke a streak of nearly three years duration.
Maurice J. "Clipper" Smith, one of the greatest guards in Notre Dame history, coaches the Villanova eleven. He came to Villanova after service at Columbia College, Ore., Gonzaga, and Santa Clara. This year marks his fifth as keeper of the Wildcats.
Friday the Jayhawks must watch, among others, Nick Basca, one of the outstanding halfbacks in the East. The 165-pound senior is a triple-threat man whose play has been sensational during the past two years. A shoulder injury which allowed him only 10 minutes of action against Baylor should be healed by the time the rival teams take the field Friday night.
Although beaten by Baylor, Villa- nova turned in an amazing record on pass defense, preventing the Southwest conference team from completing a single toss. The strength of the Wildcat line almost made the game a scoreless tie. It took Baylor four shots at the goal line from the 4 yard stripe to push across the touchdown which won the game 7 to 0.

New Faces On Starting Eleven
Against the Wildcats, Coach Henry will have several different faces from his starting line-up of last week. In the line, Ward Crowell returns to right end after a week's absence to replace Paul Hardman, out with a broken nose. The center of the line will find Jay Kern and Bob Fluker as likely starters. Kern started the first two games but was supplanted by Herb Hartman at Manhattan.
This will be Fluker's initial start although he has seen plenty of ac

tion this year. He will replace Quido Massare whose bruised knee will make him a doubtful participant in the game. Sugars, Nordgese
In the backfield Denzil Gibbens and Bob Hagen were working with Ed Hall and Jake Fry as replacements for Ed Suagey and Marvin Vandaveer. The latter two will be available for the game but are not probable starters. Don Pollom is also an added possibility for a starting berth at halfback.
Villanova, ranked seventeenth in the nation this week, will be gunning for a high scoring victory after being scoreless in its losses to Baylor and Detroit. Coach M. J. "Clippet" Smith, who walks onto the field backwards so the jinx won't spot him, has 42 squadmen and nine lettermen back from last year and the best sophomore crop in years to bolster his twice-beaten team of 1939 which ranked twenty-fourth at the end of the season.
The Vee brigade is led by Nick Basca, flashy passer, and quick-thinking Gordon Shader who doubles as blocker extraordinary and defensive fullback. Paul Stenn at right tackle paces the line with Len Kolenda, left end, leading the receivers for Basca's bullet passes. Sam Bray at center is the sophomore star for 'the Blue and White.

Football Under Lights-night. After an hour's stay in the Windy City, the athletes from Mount Oread will board another train which will deposit them at Philadelphia's Union station at 3:45 Friday afternoon.
A night game with one of the country's outstanding elevens and a day of sight-seeing in Washington, D.C., sandwiched between two train rides of 1315 miles each—this will be the experience of the 30 Jayhawk gridmen whom Coach Gwinn Henry selects to make the trip to Philadelphia this week for the Kansas-Villanova contest.
Besides being the second night game the Jayhawks have ever played, Friday's encounter marks the second time a Kansas team has played football on a baseball diamond. The game is to be held in spacious Shibe park, home of the city's two professional baseball teams, the Philadelphia Athletics and Philadelphia Phillies. Two years ago, the Jayhawks met George Washington's Colonials in Griffith stadium at Washington, D.C.
Reach Chicago Tomorrow Night

Spend Day in Washington
At 5:15 Saturday morning, the Kansans will rub the sleep from their eyes, lift the shades of their pullmans, and catch a glimpse of the nation's capital. Sightseeing tours for the travelers have been scheduled to Arlington cemetery, Alexandria, Mount Vernon, and other points of interest in and around Washington.
Leaving Washington at 5:45 Saturday afternoon, the members of the Kansas party will head towards Mount Oread. Seventy-six hours after their departure for the East, they will tumble off the train at Lawrence, ready to do it all over again two weeks later when they retrace their steps to engage the George Washington Colonials at Washington, D.C.
