Kansas State To Seek Revenge
★ A Clipping on the Bulletin Board Recalls to K-Staters Famous 'Breather' Game of 1938
Manhattan, Kas, Nov. 1—A newspaper clipping shouts the news of K.U.'s 27-7 triumph over Kansas State a year ago decorated the bulletin board in the K-State dressing room this week and spurred the preparations for Friday afternoon's against their old rivals at Lawrence.
After mistakes of last week were reviewed, the Nebraska game was forgotten, and the Wildcats showed plenty of enthusiasm and determination as they planned to avenge their loss in the famous "breather" game of 1938. Friday's game at Lawrence on 2:30 ecko, allowing plenty of atrends to appear amid the National Cornhush contest, which ends at noon there the same day, to reach the stadium for the kickoff.
Coach Wes Fry, still confident he has a good ball club, charged the loss to Nebraska largely to costly mistakes and worked to correct these weaknesses. He announced one line-up change. Gene Fair, 165-pound junior who has been doing soma fast stepping at quarterback, will play at right half in an attempt to bolster the backfield. Melvin Seeley and Frank Sicks will hold down the quarterback position.
Elmer Hackney, Kansas State's star fullback who has missed the last two games, has been running some on his knee, but whether he will continue depends on how fast the knee gains strength after being in a cast.
While Nebraska turned in a 25 to 9 victory, Kansas State held the edge in the statistics on first downs, yards gained by rushing, and yards gained by passing. Coach Fry listed three K-State fumbles, the 80-yard punt return by Herman Rohrig, and the interception of a Kansas State pass in the third quarter as the factors which contributed to the Wildcat downfall. The pass interception was the first suffered by the Wildcats in 36 they have thrown in the last two games.
Fry had praise for the extenu-
group of Nebraska's hard running
backs, and ranked Robrigh as "one
of the best backs I've ever seen."
The entire varity squad, members of the freshman squad and hundreds of K-State fans will leave Manhattan on a special train at 10:15 Friday morning, and arrive in Kansas State also will leave earlier to participate in a parade in connection with the National Cornhusking contest at Lawrence Friday morning.
Game Crowd May Set Record
- 30,000 Fans Expected To Witness Annual Intra-State Battle
An estimated crowd of 30,000 persons is expected to be on hand at Memorial stadium tomorrow afternoon at 2 'clock to witness the unpredictable game between Kanu and Uruguay in the Kansas Angels of Montana.
The National Cornhusk contest attendance is expected to boom further ticket sales which have been heavy this week. According to E. L. Faulkentrein, financial secretary of the athletic department, the crowd promises to break all previous records. The battle is expected to be unusually tough this year with the Aggies trying to average last year's 27-7 upset at the hands of the Jayhawkers.
The prices of the tickets will be $2.25 for the reserved section and $1.15 for seats in the north end of the stadium. High school students will be admitted for 25 cents and children for 10 cents.
The two bands of the competing schools will perform at the half. The two-mile race which had been held in September will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Dr. Tracy to Address Doctors
Dr. H. C. Tracy, head of the department of anatomy, will go to Courtland today where he will address the Republic County Medical Society tonight. While there he will be a guest of Dr. M. D. McComas, 11.
HOLDEN LINES

"WHY ARE JAYHAWKERS SOMETHING OF A BREATHER' (Kansan Editorial)
The above aroused the wrath of the 1938 Jayhawkers to such a pitch that they went out and defeated a superior Wildcat football team 27-7.
It is not our belief that a rehash will bring about such phe-
omenal luck this year but don't blame us for trying.
In many ways things this year are comparable to those of last year, regardless of what the dopesters say. Kansas State has beenaten the last two weeks—quite definitely by Nebraska. But those Wildcats still have a good team. Bad breaks helped bring about the Wildcat downfalls.
The Aggies have a line that is bigger and more aggressive thn the Jayhawker forward wall. Bill Beezley, 205 pound guard, Bernard Nearman, 200 pound tackle, and Don Crumbaker, 215 pound end, are all above average and will be considered highly when all-conference honors are passed around at the end of the season.
The Wildcat backfield has three members who tip the scales at 100 or better. Nieman, Duwe, and Brock. Duwe has been handling the line-plunging assignment that Elmer Hackney used to take. Brock, who does all the place kicking for the Aggies, has a bad knee and may not get the game. In Seelye, Kirk, Fair, Langer, and Stickles, Wes Fry has some backs that can come into the open. Seelye and Sicks do most of the tossing for the Aggies. Nieman, a left hander, passes some.
Kansas was cocked and primed for the game last year. The Jayhawkers won the Wildcats took slick before a big loss to Texas. This year the tables may be turned.
With two bitter defeats under their belt the Kansas Staters probably won't be suffering from over-confidence. And to upset the Jayhawker apple basket before a cornhusking crowd would give the Manhattan team a lot of pleasure.
Wes Fry's job may be at stake in tomorrow's fracas also. But it may be a bit far fetched, but it may be true. The Wildcat mentor hasn't produced any "red hot" teams since he took over the coaching reins from Lynn Waldorf in 1953. Before the season started this year Fry made some rash statements about what his men were going to do this year. Conceding them a win over the Cyclones, the Wildcat team defeated the Wildcats may defeat. Two losses thus far for K-State and they meet the Sooners a week from Saturday.
To sum it up briefly. We have seen the Jayhawkers in action three times. Last Saturday we viewed the K-State Nebraska game. Everything seems to be in the Wildcats favor. So . . .
It looks like State's game.

Tigers Planning To Trip Huskers
- Lost Year Missouri Won 13-10; Jones' Men Seek Revenge
Columbia, Nov. 1—Faced with one of their most trying problems of the current season, the University of Missouri Tigers are drafting plans to halt the Nebraska steamroller, Saturday.
The Cornhuskers, gathering steam under the able tutelage of Major Lawrence "Biff" Jones, are seeking revenge for the 13-10 set-back tendered them last year by the Tigers. They are also envisaging restoration of the Big Six football championship in Lincoln.
Nebraska comes to Missouri, for the finishing touches of the Centennial week exercises, with an undefeated record and a first place tie in the conference at stake. A 7-7 tie with Indiana is the only bleismat on an otherwise clean slate for the Cornhusher powerhouse.
Using two complete teams, in alternate quarters, the Nebraskans have over-powered and out-trained Minnesota, Baylor, Iowa State, and Kansas State. With each successive Saturday Major Jones' proteges have shown more power and a smoother finesse.
While the Cornshucker line is still suffering from inexperience, the backs have repeatedly given good accounts of themselves. In fact, Jones never knows whether to start "German Herman" Rohrig or Harry "Hippity" Hopp at the tailback post.
Corbin Hall Wins Volleyball Game
Corbin hall defeated Watkins hall 45 to 15 in an intramural volleyball game last night. This was the final game in the play-off of the three-way tie among Watkins, Corbin, and Miller hall. Corbin hall will now represent Group III in the championship game with the Pi Jh's, the winner of Group I, for the all school championship.
