The Nation's Top Teams Get Down To Business This Week. . . Kansas-Iowa State Contest Is Only Big Six Game On the Schedule . . . Duke-Tennessee Headline National Card . . . Around the Big Six.
Outstanding football aggregations in all sections of the country really get down to business this week end with at least a dozen crucial battles on Saturday's schedule.
In the Big Six, interest centers, of course, on the Kansas - Iowa State game at Ames. This is the only conference contest of the week although all other Big Six teams will be in action against non-league opponents. Kansas State travels to Boulder for a game with the University of Colorado Buffalo; Missouri will swap touchdowns with Pitt in Pittsburgh stadium; Oklahoma will tangle with Oklahoma A. and M.; and Nebraska will clash with Minnesota in one of the big intersection games of the year.
NATIONAL attention will converge on the Knoxville bowl where Duke and Tennessee, the two football giants of the South, will play to a full house. It's a long time until December, but experts are already nominating the winner of this game as the East's representative in the Rose Bowl.
Other big-time contests include Arkansas-Texas Christian, Auburn-Tulane, Colgate-Cornell, Northwestern-Syracuse, Purdue-Ohio State, Texas-Indiana, Wisconsin-Marquette and George Washington-Manhattan.
Around the Big Six . . . "The boys who draw up the little green parlay cards are giving Nebraska and three points against Minnesota, Kansas and six against Iowa State, and rate the Colorado-Kansas State game a toss-up," reports Jim (Topea Capital) Reed . . . The Missouri-Pitt game should be a high scoring affair with Paul Christman and company in there pitching against Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones.
GRIDMEN TO IOWA--which Coach Jim Yeager is attempting to plug. Reports from the Cyclone camp indicate that the Iowa State yearlings have enjoyed considerable success against the varsity while using Jayhawks plays from Kansas' long punt formation.
Coach Henry will leave for Des Moines tomorrow morning, accompanied by Scout Harry Lansing, Freshman Coach Wayne Replogle, and Sports Publicity Director Horace Mason. The quartet will scout the Drake-Grinnell game at Des Moines tomorrow night before continuing on to Ames. Drake is the next opponent on the Jayhawk schedule.
Members of the Kansas team will leave by train about 9 o'clock tomorrow night and arrive in Des Moines at 6 o'clock Saturday morning. They will travel to Ames from Des Moines by bus, reaching there about noon.

Post-Season Tilts Under Discussion

Organizations not entering in either of the other leagues are Kappa Eta Kappa, Jayhawk Co-op, Triangle, Alpha Kappa Psi, Comets, Dunakin Club, and the Hillside Hotrocks.
The schedule for Friday in intramural team tennis finds Beta Theta Pi opposing Sigma Chi and the Newman Club meeting Sigma Nu.
Youths Ask Same Rank As Elliott
Portland, Ore., Oct. 3 — (UP) — Recruiting S.t. R. M. Marley quickly discouraged 25 youth who came to his office yesterday and demanded that they be made captains "like Elliott Roosevelt."
The group, which included members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, carried signs that said: "If $316 a month is good enough for Elliott, it's good enough for me."
Sergeant Marley reddened, ordered his staff to leave the room.
"If you fellows want to join the army, come on in and take your clothes off," he barked. "That's the way we start recruiting in this office."
Four More Frosh Out For Basketball
Four new men have reported to Gordon Gray, freshman basketball coach, as practice nears the close of its second week. The new players are: Charles Black, Lawrence, a transfer from the University of Wisconsin; Tom Harris, Abilene; Linn Williams, Salina; and Forrest Lee Hill, Caspar, Wyo.
Regular varsity five underwent a change last night as Vance Hall and Marvin Sollenberger moved up with Bob Allen, Howard Engleman, and T. P. Hunter. Before a short scrimmage, "Phog" Allen sent his men through stiff drills and laid special stress on rebounds and a five-man defense.
