Beta Theta Pi opened the defense of its intramural touch football championship yesterday afternoon with an impressive 33 to 6 victory over Boy's Co-op. Phi Kappa Psi, winner in 1938, was equally outstanding in downing Delta Chi 19 to 0.
In the other contests played yesterday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon defeated the Newman Club 25 to 6; Jayhawk Co-op triumphed over the Hillside Hotrocks 6 to 0; and Sigma Nu “B” fell before Sigma Chi “B” 25 to 0.
Stoland, Littooy Star
Standouts of the Beta victory were Bob Stoland and Fred Littoyo. Both
scored two touchdowns after receiving Bill Geiger's passes. After a tight first half which ended with the Beta's in front 12 to 6, last year's titleholders applied the pressure and tallied three more touchdowns in the final period.
Intramural football fans will see a Phi Psi pass combination this year that should rival the Clover-Hensley
(Kappa Sig) or Hall-Stoland (Beta)
combinations of last fall in Anderson's tosses to Bill Knight.
**Harp Paces Sig Alph's**
Dick Harp, ex-Jayhawk basketeer,
paced the Sig Alph's to a well-
earned win over the Newman Club
25 to 6. His aerials to Musser, Bond,
Gage, and Koehler accounted for all
of his team's points. Baney saved
the Newman club from a shutout by running the pigskin over in the opening quarter.
In 'the six-man division, Bob Brown paced the Sigma Chi's triumph while Mitchelson sparked the Jayhawk Co-op's sextet.

Jayhawks Tangle With Drake In First Home Game, Saturday
A determined flock of Kansas Jayhawks yesterday afternoon looked over the pictures of their 7 to 0 defeat at the hands of Iowa State and then trooped out on the practice field to begin preparations for their first home game of the season Saturday with the Drake Bulldog.
The pictures revealed several notes of interest concerning the Jayhawks' play in the Cyclone contest. First of all, they showed that Hub Ulrich, 194-pound junior end, really came into his own against the Iowians. Ulrich was in the game most of the afternoon and spent a large part of his time breaking up Cyclone attempts to blow through his position.
Pierce Stars In Line
Another of Saturday's standouts among the linemen, was Don Pierce, battling Jayhawk center. Ross Ralph, second string tackle, Bob Fluker, reserve guard, Herb Hartman, husky tackle, and other members of the starting cast including W. F. Jack and Quido Massare also showed up well.
Among the backs, Ed Hall, Don Pollom, and Marvin Vandaver gained prominence. Hall's ferocious play in the fullback spot and Pollom's sparkling debut at the halfback post were high points in the afternoon. Vandaver, who had the

Jayhawks Were Supreme In Every Department But One Saturday . . .
Another New Pair of Glasses for Don Pierce . . Around the Big Six.
A post-mortem scanning of statistics on the Kansas-Iowa State game last Saturday reveals that the Jayhawks outdid the Cyclones in every department but one. Gwinn Henry's men more than doubled Iowa State's total of first downs with 13 as compared to 6 for the Cyclones. They netted 129 yards from rushing to only 78 by Iowa State. Out of 23 passes attempted, the Jayhawks completed eight, while the Cyclones were unsuccessful in three tries.
The Mount Oread athletes even outfumbled the Iowa State eleven 5 to 1 and managed to lose a total of $72_{1/2}$ yards on penalties to only 10 for the Cyclones. But in gaining supremacy in almost every
difficult job of filling Ralph Miller's shoes, passed acurately and effectively.
Burge Is Injured
One of the problems which confronts Coach Gwinn Henry this week is finding additional reserve strength at the wing positions. John Burge, 180-pound senior end, received a knee injury after four minutes of play in the first quarter last Saturday and will be out of action for the rest of the year. Ralph Schaake, reserve end, came out of the game with a bruised shoulder which will keep him from playing against Drake.

Co-captain John Kubellius, giant Drake tackle, is one of the bulwarks of the strong Bulldog forward wall which the Jayhawks must penetrate if they hope to win the opening home game of the season in Memorial stadium Saturday.
department of play, the Jayhawks neglected to score any points. Proving, once more, that it's touchdowns, not statistics, which win ball games.
COACH GWINN HENRY and Center Don Pierce still aren't satisfied with the game glasses which the Jayhawk first string pivot mar has been wearing this fall. So
Pierce will spend this week trying out another pair which he discovered at Ames. The newest set of glasses is embedded in leather and attached to the helmet.
Around the Big Six . . . Nebraska's lone touchdown against Minnesota Saturday came on a variation of Kansas' own "going home" play, !
received a slight ankle injury early in the game, but it is believed that he will be ready to go against Drake Saturday. In case he is unable to play, his understudy Chet Gibbens will get the call. Gibbens played more than a quarter against Iowa State in the blocking back position. Drake Backs Worry Henry
Another important matter which Henry will have to consider is how to stop Walt O'Connor, regular left half, and Tex Switzer, sophomore line bomber, who paced the Drake eleven to a 20 to 7 decision over Grinnell last week end. O'Connor, who is shifty and fast, scored the first touchdown Friday night when he took a lateral pass and sprinted more than 50 yards across the goal line.
Switzer excelled on defense, as did Co-captain John Kubelius and Chan Olson and the entire Drake first string. The Bulldogs used three different defensive setups with a sixman line most of the time. They also employed a five-man line occasionally and sent seven men to the line against punts.
The Bulldogs ran one reverse after another and threw countless passes into the flat in an exort to give their "seat" backs, headed by O'Connor, an opportunity to slip into the open.
Grad To Teach in Kansas City
Miss Wilma Hartman, former teacher of Taft Junior High school of Oklahoma City will begin her duties today as the new art instructor at Central Junior High school in Kansas City. She is a graduate of Kansas University's department of design.
Hargiss To Head M.V.A.A.U.Aqain
W. H. "Bill" Hargiss, varsity track coach, was elected to a second term as president of the Missouri Valley A. A. U. Sunday as the group held its eleventh annual meeting at Kansas City.
The A.A.U. has jurisdiction over all amateur sports, including basketball, boxing and track. Hargiss works as a co-ordinator of all committees and plans for these spots.
The Missouri Valley indoor track and field meet again will be held in the Kansas City municipal auditorium Feb. 8. St. Joseph, Mo. put in a bid for the 1941 women's national basketball tournament which it held last spring.
Kansas Two-Milers In Time Trial Friday Afternoon
Coach Bill Hargiss is not having an easy time converting quarter and half-milers into two-milers. His best prospects for the two-mile team are not used to the long distance. Russell Mount, Clarence tance. Russell Mount, Orlando Epp, and Clarence Miller, who are battling for the two open spots, are middle-distance runners.
A time trial over $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles will be held Friday afternoon with Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, lettermen, expected to lead the pack. The team will not run the full two miles until the first meet. Most of the running has been cross-country.
With the first meet with Nebraska two weeks off, Coach Hargiss is not willing to commit himself on the outcome. Kansas outran Nebraska last fall.
