These Big Six Stars Glittered in Saturday's Gridiron Games
EILL QUICK
FORREST BEHM
Among the stars who gained the plaudits of the crowds at Saturday's Big Six football games were those pictured above. At Ames, Larry Owens' pass to Teammate Hammerin' Hank Wilder accounted for Iowa State's only touchdown as the Oklahoma Sooners, led by Halfback Jack Jacobs, won 20 to 7. The Oklahoma triumph set the stage for this week's championship battle between the Sooners and Nebraska at Norman. Don Pierce center, was a standout in his team's 20 to 0 loss to their ancient rivals, Kansas State, before a Homecoming crowd of 15,000 at Manhattan. Forrest Behm and Harry Hopp, Cornhusker stalwarts, were prominent in Nebraska's 20 to 7 conquest of Missouri. Hopp's pass to "Butch" Luther scored the final Nebraska touchdown of the afternoon, while Behm bulwarked the Cornhusker line and helped stop the vaunted Missouri offense. Bernie Weiner and Bill Quick, Kansas State stars, played major parts in the Wildcats' victory over the Jayhawks.

Jayhawkers Face Short Week of Practice; Leave Thursday for Game with Villanova
on the SPORTS CARD By BOB TRUMP
Kent Duwe Proves He Can Pass As Well As Run . . . Don Pierce Wins Praise For His Play At Center . . . Nichols Has To Kick Four Goals To Get Credit For Two . . . Iowa State Came Near To Winning Its Game With Oklahoma.
Repercussions from Saturday's Kansas-Kansas State battle:
KENT DUWE, the Wildcat's bold homber, not only clicked off an average of 4.3 yards every time he carried the ball, but also proved himself to be quite a passer. The Kansas State ace seemed to be more accurate at a distance than he was from close up, most of his short, over-the-line passes going wild.
Among sports scribes praising the play of Don Pierce, star Kansas center, was Jim (Topeka Capital) Reed who wrote "Name a better Big Six center than Topeka's Don Pierce, K.U. pivot man . . . Pierce was acting captain for the Jayhawks and was the greatest defensive player on the field. He backed up the line and had a hand in most of the plays . . . When they were passing out boquets to the queens they should have tossed one Pierce's way."
A week ago, against Oklahoma the Kansas State athletes intercepted five (continued to page eight)
A short week of practice lies ahead of Gwinn Henry and his Kansas Jayhawks before they entrain Thursday afternoon for Philadelphia where they will clash with the high powered Villa-nova Wildcats in Shibe Park Friday night.
Injuries Hit Lineup At Many Key Spots
It's probably a good thing that the Kansan's aren't confronted by too many days of intensive practice this week because several names will be added to the already overloaded hospital list. Including the casualties from the Kansas State game, Henry finds
himself only one short of having enough injured athletes at key positions to form an entire team.
John Burge, Harlan Altman,
Larry Finney already had been lost
for the season before last Saturday's contest. Then six more Jayhawks received injuries against the Wildcats. Paul Hardman, sophomore right end, suffered a broken nose just before the half ended, and Ross Relph, 205 pound left tackle, went out of action with a knocked down shoulder early in the second quarter. Neither athlete will be able to play in Philadelphia Friday.
HARLAN ALTMAN
Marvin Vandeveer and Ed Suagee, Jayhawk first string backs, received wrenched knees in K-State game but are expected to be ready to go against Villanova. Ward Crowell, who started the first three
BOSS REEPH DAIL HADDMAN games this fall at right end, replaced Hardman when the latter was injured and had to be removed from the game after nine minutes of the second half because of a gash over one eye which required five stitches to close. Crowell should be able to play Friday.
ROSS RELPH DAUL HADDMAN
Quido Massare, star Jayhawk guard, received a bruised knee last rious enough to keep him out of the Villanova game. Yesterday, a
Intramural Track Meet Beqins Today
Aided by a beautiful Indian summer day, intramural track stars donned their spikes at 4:30 this afternoon for the preliminaries of the first intramural track meet since 1937. Thursday will be the final day of the meet.
Scheduled for this afternoon were the following events: 120 yd. low hurdle preliminaries, 100 yd. dash preliminaries, 120 yd. low hurdle semi-finals, 100 yd. dash semi-finals, shot put qualifications (30 feet), and high jump qualifications (4 feet 10 inches).
Records for this afternoon's events are 10 seconds for the 100 yd. dash by Bensen, Beta '32; 47 feet, 3 inches for the shot put by Merkle, Spartans '32; and 6 feet 2 inches for the high jump by Dumm, Sig Alph.
bruised cheek which Bob O'Neil, sophomore end, received sometime during the Kansas State contest, began to swell badly and x-rays were taken last night to determine the extent of the injury. O'Neil may be out of action for several weeks.
Villanova, which saw its three year winning streak broken by powerful Texas A. and M. last fall, presents another strong team this year. The Wildcats conquered Penn Military 53 to 14 and Florida 28 to 0 in their first two games before losing to Baylor 7 to 0 and Detroit 10 to 0.
