PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1940 Sets Stage For 1940 'Breather' Ag Scribe Unimpressed By Play of Jayhawks History may repeat itself this year if Gwinn Henry's gridmen attach any significance to the blast levelled at them by Robert Rathbone, sports editor of the Kansas State Collegian. "Give Off Slight Stench" Writing in Tuesday's issue of the Collegian, Rathbone commented "We saw the N.U.-K.U. game and the Jayhawkers seemed to give off a slight stench." "Although the Wildcats have shot their thin championship hopes," he continued, "if they play the type of football they are reported to have played against the Sooners, it is curtains for Kansas University this weekend."

Paul Christman, Missouri's Golden Boy, will be a marked man all afternoon since he has Pitched Bengals to two straight victories over the Cornhuskers. But Nebraska must watch other Tigers besides Christman Saturday.

"Oklahoma's a team we can beat." Coach Jim Yeager told his athletes this week. "Those boys like to make long sustained drives. They play for first downs.

It was a story similar to this, labelling the 1938 Kansas-Kansas State game a breather, which came out of Manhattan two seasons ago and led the Jayhawks to trounce the Wildcats 27 to 7. Pointing towards the yearly grid civil war with Kansas State, the Jayhawks held their toughest practice session of the week yesterday afternoon. After the varsity went on defense against the reserves using Kansas State plays, the first string came back to try offensive maneuvers of its own against Wildcat defensive formations. Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 24-Kansas State college and Kansas University, both keyed to a feverish pitch, will clash for the thirty-eighth time since 1902 here Saturday in a "Must Win" game for each of the bitter rivals. It's Homecoming for Kansas State and 15,000 persons are expected to witness the Big Six conference gridiron feud. Weekend activities also include a special "K" club dinner, an alumni luncheon, and a Homecoming dance Saturday. Fraternity houses will be gayy decorated and a Homecoming queen will be presented between halves of the football game. Expected Alawys Happens The K-State and Kansas elevens will line up for the kickoff on nearly even terms as far as records are concerned. But the unexpected always seems to happen when the Wildcats and Jayhawks tangle. For the third straight week, Kansas State will be up against a first rate passer. This time it's Marvin Vandaveer, Kansas quarterback. The Jayhawks also boast a couple of other dangerous, high speed backs in Don Pollom and Jake Fry. Saturday's game will bring together two of the best guards in the conference, Ed Huff of Kansas State and Quido Massare of Kansas. Coach Hobbs Adams has announced four lineup changes in an effort to bolster the K-State attack. Gene Snyder will start at left half and will be the first sophomore to break into K-State's starting eleven this season. Ed Huff, Marysville junior, will start at left instead of right guard. Bill Nichols, regular left guard, is nursing a side injury which may keep him on the sidelines. Al Niemoller has been named for the right guard post, and Ken Makalous, a Cuban, will start at left tackle. Kansas University holds a 22 to 12 margin in victories over Kansas State. Three games ended in ties. But the Wildcats have won seven games to the Jayhawks' five since the Big Six was organized in 1928. K-State Sophomore-sas State was a heavy favorite that day, even more so than this year, but an inspired Kansas eleven whipped the Wildcats 27 to 7. BILL QUICK Kansas State Quarterback Largest K.U. score was over Washington, 83-0, in 1923. Seek 2 to 1 Edge Over Wildcats 7 Play Last K-State Game A chance to finish their football careers with a 2 to 1 edge over their bitter rivals, Kansas State, will be furnished seven University of Kansas seniors Saturday. Four of those three-year men will be in the starting lineup against the Wildcats, Don Pierce at center, Quido Massare at left guard, Ed Hall at left halfback and Ed Suagee at fullback. Three Others May Play Not regulars, but expected to see a fair amount of action, are three other seniors, Ward Crowell, end, Chester Gibbens, fullback, and Wayne Wilson, center. Only other senior is John Burge, letterman end, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Lone man on the 1940 Jayhawk squad to be in the starting lineup at Manhattan two years ago was Quido Massare, crack guard. However, most of the other seniors got into that game. A duplicate of the 1938 thriller is what the Jayhawks are working overtime in an effort to achieve. Kansas State was a heavy favorite that day, even more so than this year, but an inspired Kansas eleven whipped the Wildcats 27 to 7. Side vents. Inside flap pockets.
