Ready For Cornhuskers
Jayhawkers To Strike By Air,LandSaturday
Realizing that less than 48 hours separate them from head-on collision with Nebraska's mighty Cornhuskers, Jayhawk varsity gridmen yesterday afternoon worked until almost dark polishing their plays in dummy scrimmage against the freshmen.
Coach Gwinn Henry has ordered practices for both this afternoon and tomorrow, and he probably will spend most of this time

Footballs Are Expected to Fly at Columbia Saturday . . . And at Norman . . . Kansas Fans Will Have. Their Big Game . . .
Touchdowns in large numbers are expected to be marked up on the Memorial stadium scoreboard at Columbia Saturday as Missouri's defending Big Six champions make their first home conference appearance against the Iowa State Cyclones.
Both teams are strictly touchdown conscious. The Cyclones have piled up 66 points in four games, while the pass-minded Tigers have amassed 77 points in three contests. And, strangely enough for Iowa State, at any rate, is the fact that the Big Six lead will go to the winner since both own a victory in their lone conference starts.
Elsewhere on the Big Six front, Kansas State's Wildcats will travel to Norman to engage the Oklahoma Sooners. Another aerial display is probable in this game between the men of Hobbs Adams and Tom Stidham's favored Sooners. Jack Jacobs, Oklahoma halfback and ace passer is expected to give the Wildcats almost as much trouble as did Paul Christian a week ago.
Of course, for Kansas fans at least, the BIG GAME of the day will be the tussle between their own Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers here in Memorial Stadium.
"This week's football parlay cards are giving Kansas and 13 points against Nebraska in Saturday's Big Six game at Lawrence," writes Jim (Topea Capital) Reed.
On hand Saturday to create word pictures of the game will be sports writers from the Associated Press, United Press, International News Service, Trans-Radio Press, Des Moines Register and Tribune, Omaha World Herald, Lincoln Star, Lincoln Journal, Kansas City Star, Kansas City Journal and many other papers.

Before yesterday's practice began, University physicians announced that Bob O'Neill, reserve end, has not recovered from a bad case of poison ivy and will be unable to play Saturday. Another second string end, Ralph Schaake, (continued to page five)

Fry Can Block and Tackle As Well as Carry Ball
Herb Hartman, 205-pound guard, and Ward Crowell, 180-pound end, are expected to plap leading roles for the Jayhawks in Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon when Gwinn Henry's team attempts to end the long drought of Nebraska victories over Kansas at Lawrence.
Finding a 160 pound ball carrying star who can block and tackle, has been the pleasant experience of Jayhawk Coach Gwinn Henry.
WARD CROWELL
Crack ball luggers frequently do not shine as blockers and tacklers, nor is it usual for 160 pound backs to show much in these departments. Consequently, Jake Fry, Jayhawk right halfback, is a joy and a pleasure for Coach Henry to watch on the Moreaus Move Dean and Mi
Came from Rosedale
Fry came out of Rosedale high school in Kansas City, Kan., touted as one of the greatest ball carriers ever to wear the colors of a Kansas City high school.
However, the real story about Fry concerns the blocking and tackling the little Kansas halfback is doing. Weighing only 160 pounds and having a hard time making that, Jake has been a standout on defense in each of K.U.'s first two games.
Time and again the ex-Rosedale ace has come up from his halback post to make slashing tackles. Several times, fast moving enemy ball carriers have been stood on their heads by Fry's low and clean tackles.
Equally good on pass defense, Jake is just as valuable when the other team has the ball as he is when Kansas is on the offense. That is a rare attribute in a halfback.
Since enrolling at the University of Kansas, he has continually added to his laurels as a ball carrier. Already this fall he has won for himself a place in the hearts of Jayhawk fans with his brilliant work carrying the ball.
Fry A Real Blocker
Fry's first touchdown run in a Jayhawk uniform was a dazzler that came in the game with Iowa State last year. The speedy half-
