Fears Drake Passes, Reverses
Jayhawks Practice On Bulldog Plays
If Gwinn Henry's Jayhawks fail to stop Drake's double reverses and flat pass plays in Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon, it won't be because of any unfamiliarity with the Bulldog system.
Once again in practice yesterday afternoon, the varsity gridmen went on the defense against the freshmen, who were using Drake plays. Special emphasis was placed on halting the double

Gwinn Henry Talks About Drake
. . . And Comments on the Iowa
State Game . . . Around the Big Six.
"Drake has a great blocking team with a line averaging 192 pounds from end to end, but their second string material looks like my supply of reserve ends and backs." Thus Gwinn Henry presented a brief opinion of the team with which his Jayhawks will open the home football season this Saturday.
"Our ends are sure to take a beating," he continued, "although Hub Ulrich looked exceptionally good against Iowa State and should continue his pace in the Drake game."
Other pertinent comments gleaned from statements made yesterday to the press by the Kansas coach:
1. "Don Pierce did a swell job at center against Iowa State though he couldn't even see the sideline markers to tell what down it was. He intercepted one pass over the line of scrimmage and started down the field like a regular back."
2. "Marvin Vandaveer's selection of plays was excellent on the whole, and he'll improve his accuracy in passing, too."
3. "We fumbled eight or ten times in the first half and then when it started raining hard, we stopped fumbling altogether."
4. "I've hardly ever had a game played for me in which we outgained and outdated the other team. And after last Saturday, I'm not so sure that I care to have the advantage in statistics."
Around the Big Six . . . Pau Christman observed his same custom of the past two years by going to church the morning before the Pittsburgh game . . . They say that "Butch" Luther, Nebraska back, will bear as much watching this year as either Herman Rohrig or Harry Hopp.
Deines Named Head Of Senior Law
Ernest J. Deines, Wakeeney, was elected president of the senior class of the School of Law at the annual meeting of the class yesterday morning. One of his duties as president will be to preside at the annual banquet of the school in April.
Eugene L. Pirtle, Kansas City, was named vice-president, and Mary McDonald Dunlap, the only woman in the class, was elected secretary.
reverses, which defeated the Jayhawks at Des Moines last year, and the feared Drake flat passes from Quarterback Gene Moore to "Wee Walt" O'Connor, ace left halfback. Jayhawk Offense Improved
Jayhawk Offense Improved
The hospital list maintained its status quo yesterday with the announcement that Ed Suagee, who received an ankle injury in the Iowa State game, would be able to play Saturday. However, Ralph Schaake, who also was injured at Ames, and Harlan Altman, who was hurt in practice several weeks ago, will not be ready for action this week.
Henry is satisfied that his offense is much better than it was at the end of last season and credits this improvement to better blocking in both the line and backfield. The return of Bob Hagen, 184-pound freshman halfback, who left the team earlier in the fall, will give the blocking situation another boost as soon as the Lawrence athlete works himself into condition.
Hopes for Few Fumbles
Headman Henry is hoping that the fumbles and offsides which played a prominent part in the Kansas defeat last week will not harass the Jayhawks Saturday. Another week's practice and the experience gained in the Iowa State contest should aid the Crimson and Blue in its bid for a victory in the first home game of the season.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 9—(Special)—Running the second and third teams through vigorous scrimmages, Coach Vee Green is getting all of his Drake university Bulldogs in top form for the University of Kansas game at Lawrence Saturday.
The varsity took it easy yesterday running through signal drills, combined with punting and passing practice.
It will be no easy game for the Drake squad, conquerer of the Kansans last year, 12 to 6, as the Jayhawks will be ready to avenge the surprising defeat.
This will be the third game of the current season for Drake with the Bulldogs already out in front

Tiger's Touchdown Twins--
JIMMY STARMER — PAUL CHRISTIAN
Wildcat Weiner--
Swinging into their third year of Big Six competition Saturday when Missouri tangles with Kansas State at Manhattan will be the Tigers' touchdown twins, Paul Christman and Jimmy Starmer. It was against the Wildcats two years ago that the Christian to Starmer forward pass combination first gained fame.
When Kansas State and Missouri clash at Manhattan Saturday, Bernard Weiner, all-Big Six Wildcat tackle, is expected to give the none-too-strong Tiger line a busy afternoon.
