Sports Scribes Visit Jajhawks' Practice . . . Prospects Bright at Duke . . . Michigan's Backfield Should Be One of the Best . . . Orf, Wetzel, and Cooper Are Assistant Freshman Coaches at Mizzou . . . Hall Entertains Sideline Quarterbacks.
As the time for the opening kickoff against Iowa State approaches Gwinn Henry's Jayhawk gridmen are drawing their share of personal visits from sports scribes in this section. Gene Kemper, sports editor of the Topeka Daily Capital watched the Kansans practice Wednesday afternoon, and yesterday Harold "Spike" Classen, sports chief of the Associated Press' Kansas City office, put in an appearance.
THOSE WHO KNOW say that Wallace Wade has 'em six deep at every position down at Duke University and if he succeeds in ushering his Blue Devils past Tennessee on Oct. 5 he can begin listening for another Rose Bowl bid.
Speaking of experience in the backfield.

Harmon, Norn Call, and Bob
Westfall sound to you? This
quartet, which had a combined
average of more than 38 minutes
of actual play per game last year,
should rank with the best in the
nation.

Tomorrow
Jayhawks Prepare For Practice Game
By BOB TRUMP
The Kansan's Sports Editor
Coach Gwinn Henry was engrossed today in putting the finishing touches on his Jayhawk varsity football men preparatory to turning them loose against each other in the regular scrimmage under game conditions which is scheduled for 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.
The Kansas tutor is reserving his decision on the opposing lineups until game time but since the main purpose of tomorrow's scrimmage is to enable as many Jayhawks as possible to acquire
Bill Hargiss Issues Call For Trackmen
All men in the University who have done anything in high school track or are interested in track are requested by Coach "Bill" Hargiss to attend a meeting in Robinson gymnasium Tuesday evening at 7:30.
Hargiss has planned an expanded track program this fall and hopes to have a large squad out for practice. Two meets will be held this fall, according to the Jayhawk coach.
A novice meet, in which men who have not previously been out for freshman or varsity track will compete, is scheduled for the middle of October. In this meet, the longer races will not be run.
This will be followed by a meet for everyone who is out, which will be held around the first of November.
Bulletin
Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of University intramurals, this morning repeated his request of yesterday that all students not living in organized houses come to Robinson gymnasium and enter in intramural competition. Elbel also announced that all boarding houses with four or more boys would be contacted for intramural competition.
added experience, it is quite probable that every member of the varsity roster will get into the milling sometime during the afternoon.
Another practice session came and went yesterday with still no injuries to mar the Kansas picture.
After he had pitted the varsity athletes against each other for more than an hour, Henry called the yearlings up from the lower practice field where they had been working out under the di-
W. F. JACK
man Coach Wayne Replogle and began inserting them into the fray.
Jake Fry, 160 pound seat halfback, put in a busy afternoon snaring passes from the arms of Harlan Altman, Ed Suagee, Marvin Vandaveer, and Dick Miller. The varsity forward wall continued to show improvement with W. F. Jack, 218 pound tackle, and guards Jay Kern and Quido Massare among the standouts. However, several frosh linemen stayed in there throughout the afternoon and showed Coach Henry that they must be considered when he gets around to making out his varsity lineup a year from now.
Sooners To Be Big, Green
By BOB TRUMP The Kansan's Sports Editor
(This is the first in a series of roundup stories dealing with the prospects of teams on the Jayhawks' 1940 grid schedule. Kansas will play Oklahoma at Lawrence on November 9. Last fall, the Sooners defeated the Jayhawks at Norman 27 to 7. Oklahoma finished the Big Six season last year in undisputed possession of third place.)
If you were a Big Six coach about to enter the conference race minus the services of two All-American linemen, four All-Conference stars, and two athletes who participated in the East-West game at San Francisco last New Year's Day, to say nothing of 13 other lettermen from a team which only finished third last year, would you be inclined to agree with the sports scribes who pick your
eleven to gain the runner-up spot this fall?
And yet that is exactly the position in which Indian Tom Stidham, director of the Oklahoma gridiron
destinies, finds himself. Despite the loss of nine members of his starting lineup and nearly two full teams of lettermen, Stidham refuses to take issue with the experts and is quietly going
Gone are All-American End Frank Ivy and Tackle Gilford "Cactus Face" Dugan; All-Big Six Guard Ralph Stevenson and Fullback Bob Seymour. Gone, too, are Dick Favor, blocking back, and John Shirk, end, both whom played on the West team in the East-West game on New Year's Day at San Francisco; Beryl Clark,

sparkplug quarterback; Justin Bowers, a highly rated tackle who was killed in an automobile accident; J. R. Manley, a fine tackle; and countless others.
But all is not darkness and disappointment at Norman. Admittedly, the Sooner squad is green. Admittedly, also, it is one of the toughest and heaviest which Stidham has ever had the opportunity of coaching. As soon as the Oklahoma rookies have a few games under their belts, they'll begin collecting scalps in the manner of many another Stidham team.

Hardly expected to cause the Sooner coach any grief either is the sight of Jack Jacobs and Orville
