Big Six To Stage Three Ring Performance in Their Own Tent
By Harry Hill. e'40
It may be proverbially true that a "house divided against itself cannot stand," but Big Six teams, facing the necessity of settling second, third, fourth and fifth positions in the conference standings sometime political. Thanksgivings, are ignoring the ages of the this week-end.
For the first time this season, the conference is forsaking foreign
football theaters entirely to stage a three ring circus in its own tent. The program puts Oklahoma against Iowa State; Kansas against Kansas State; and Missouri against Nebraska.
Iowa State's journey to Norman will be like walking 10 miles to get your pocket picked. Headed towards their second consecutive league title with increasing certainty, Tom Stidham's powerful
Sooners could reduce the Cyclone to a mere rustle in the tree tops. But the full fury of the Oklahoma strength probably will be reserved for a future date when Nebraska is to be manhandled in Lincoln.
eleven that seems to swell with added power from one game to another. Both teams are undefeated in conference play, each has scored victories over the same two Big Six opponents.
With the verdict against Iowa State whatbury but a moot question, principal interest centers around the four-way battle for second place. Paul Christian and Missouri will be entertaining a Nebraska
The winner will emerge with two second place virtually clinched and with the controversial distinction of being Oklahoma's "challenger" for the Big Six crown. There is strong doubt that all-star eleven from
both squads would seriously challenge the steam-rolling Sooners.
lunge the steam-rolling Sooners. The remaining conference game has a distinct rural flavor. Less than two hours after 22 aspirants to the national husking honors put the finishing touches on a Douglas county cornfield Friday amid an expected throng of 100,000, 22 other athletes will answer the starting line in Memorial Stadium. Fiddler Ezekiel Kearns
State battle as a climax to agriculture's Olympic games. In the minds of a divided sports citizenry over the state, the annual tussle between the state and its allies with its result a significance equal to the age-old good nurtured bickering between the lad from the farm and his city cousin.
Fitting indeed is a Kansas-Kansas
More than the always hard fought football game and a National Cornhusking contest is a prospect on the
gala program Friday. Boosted by the thousands who swarm in for the agricultural event, a crowd large enough to fill Kanau's great cement elephant is possible. Because Memorial Stadium has been notoriously like an 8:30 class the day after last spring's Senior Cakewalk, there should be more present than a handful of people who attend only to see the monstrous horseshoe brim full.
HOLDEN LINES

By Jay Simon, c'40 Pinch hitting for Clavelle Holden
Cross your fingers and hope to die and I'll let you in on a bi
of sports gossip from here, there, and everywhere.
LOCAL . . . Friday afternoon's "civil war" has been billed as the battle of the invalids, with Ralph Miller of the Jayhawks and Elmer Hackney of the Wildcats slated to open their personal Big Six competition with this embroglio. . . However, my 529 at Manhattan tells me that Hackney is going to be of little use to his mates as he right knee is still very weak. . . This will be Miller's first grid test since the homecoming game with Nebraska here last autumn. . . Points after touchdowns might just as well be conceded. Jim Brock, the K-State boy with the Ph.D. toe, has missed only one placement during his three years with the Cats and Little Chet Gibbens has missed no more in his two campaigns with the Jayhawks. . . In eight stabs at the Wildcats while at Mizzou, Coach Henry won five and lost three.
STATE. . . Emporia State and College of Emporia tangle this week-end to renew one of the most bitter grid feuds in these parts . . . Until four years ago this was the annual Turkey Day battle for both teams, but the Hornets broke off relations so they could play Pitt Teachers, C.I.C. rivals, on the last Thursday of November . . . Each of these schools has a former coach now on the athletic faculty here . . . Gwinn Henry used to tutor gridology at C. of E. and Bill Hargiss at the Normal . . . Note to Messers, Kemper and Reed of the Topeka Capital and Kenny Simons of the Pittsburg Sun: The Pittsburgh Gerillas did not wear the special muzzles against the Wichita Shockers last Saturday as your respective sheets stated . . . The Central conference really looks like a dog fight this year, with Wichita, St. Benedicts, Emporia State, and Pittsburgh all in the thick of the fight.
NATIONAL . . . Author Francis Wallace, who has become famous by sticking his neck out with pre-season football predictions in the Satevepost, has retaliated by sticking Pittsburgh university's neck out with his exposes last week and this in the same mag. . . . Wallace pulled no punches in revealing "all" about the now de-emphasized Panther . . . . Only 10 teams of major import remain unbeaten, untied after last Saturday's bombings. . . . In the East Cornell, Dartmouth, and Duquesne are free from blots. In the Middlewest Michigan and Notre Dame are the only two to escape blemishes, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Tulane are rolling along in the South san tie and defeats, while the Coast and the Southwest can each boast on one perfect-record team—Texas A. & M. and Oregon State. . . . From here it looks like Tennessee has the inside track for mythical national honors, with Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas Aggies, and Cornell only a jump behind. . . . Oklahoma and Nebraska of the Big Six must be considered in the first 10, although each has a tie on its record.
The two-mile race between Kansas and Kansas State will be run at 11 o'clock Friday morning instead of between halves of the football game, Coach Bill Hargiss announced last night.
Kansas Two-Mile Team To Compete Friday Morning
Hargis believes these teams are probably the strongest in the Big Six this year, despite the fact that they have played to OKahona two weeks ago.
Kansas State, last year's conference champ, has won over Missouri and Drake. When Kansas lost to the Sooner runners, three members of the team were ill from intense heat.
Members of the Jayhawk squad are Ray Harris, Big Six two mile champion last year; Don Thompson, Joe Ryan, and Charles Toleren.
The team will go to Columbia, Mo., Nov. 18 for the conference meet.

A Superior Line Rates the Edge In Friday's Game
Wildcats Favored Over Kansas
- But Underdope Has Often Upset Dope in Long Intro-Upset Feud; Miller and Hackney Are Questions
Volleyball: Wed. Nov. 1, 8:15 Watkins vs. Corbin.
Two old rivals were making final preparations today for their annual gridiron battle. Kansas and Kansas State meet in the "annual Kansas classic" here, Friday afternoon.
In 1907, 338,452 inhabitants of Austria-Hungary emigrated to the United States. This was the largest number of people to move from one country to another in a single year.
Few rivalries are more hard fought, for the outcome means everything to the players. Winning this game makes the season a success for the victorious team.
Here's A Remedy That's Sure to Work
As a result upsets have been frequent in the series. In the past four years, Kansas has upset the dope twice and Kansas State once. Only in 1936 did the favorite recently win.
Kansas State ranks as the favorite this year, by virtue of a hard charging line, which is considered the superior of the Jayhawk forward wall. The Jayhawks, despite a five pound to the man weight advantage in the line, have not been as impressive as the Wildest linemen this fall.
Let Doc. Covey Fix
You Up at
In the backfield, honors are fairly even with Kansas probably having the edge. Although they will conceive the Kansas State back ten pounds to the man, the Jayhawk is not even close in strength backs. Sullivant, America, Bubaty and Hall comprise a backfield which has speed, power and deception.

BERNARD WEINER
This 200-pound chunk of fighting humanity holds down a tackle berth for the Wildcats. He is a likely choice for all-conference.
Holding the center of the stage are two injured stars, Ralph Miller of Kansas and Emince Hackney of Kansas State. Both have been out of action with bad knees and just how much they can be able to play Friday no one knows.
Miller's sensational passing made him the outstanding man in the Kansas offense and Hackney occupied it with a shot. He kicked back with his terrific line alignment.
Gwinn Henry, in his first year as Kansas coach, has been pleased with the manner in which the Jayhawk team has come along this fall. Kunzman's passing leaves some issues and Henry hopes that this improvement will continue Friday.
Phi Delt's and Phi Psi's Win Close Battles
- Sig Nu's and Sig Chi's Each Nosed Out by Touchdown In Intremural Grid Race Yesterday
By Clint Kanoga c'42
Spectators at the intramural fields yesterday were witnesses of two of the most exciting games played this season. Phi Delta Theta scored an upset victory over the heretofore undefended Sigma Na eleven, 6 to 0, while the Phi Kappa Pi team run up against unexpected opponents, 7-0. Both contests were tight defensive battles from start to finish. The Phi Gamma Delma-Delta Upsilon game was postponed.
Taking advantage of a pass interference "breathe" the Phi Delt's ring up a touchdown in the last quarter which proved to be the margin of victory. Jack O'Hara, Phi Delt back, in attempting to receive a long forward pass from Warren Newcomer, was showed accidentally from the oncoming loss by a Sigma Nu back. As a result of the interference ruled made on this play, the Phi Delt's received the piskin on the 2-ward line.

and Wise were outstanding performers for the Sigma Nu team. The Phi Pal's moved a step closer to winning their second straight intramural title by downing the Sigma Chi's. The Sigma Chi team which met the Phi Pal's was a different team than the Sigma Chi eleven which was humiliated by Betta Tha Pi list week. Not different in line-up and equipment in spirit and fight. The Phi Pal's scored their lone tally of the game on a 21 yard bullet pass from "Pots" Powell to Franny Franklin, Gilland converted the extra point from placement.
