Big Six Battle Gets Under Way in Earnest
Huskers and Wildcats Will Battle at Manhattan; Hackney Will Not Play
All of the Big Six teams having played at least one conference game, the pennant race gets under way in earnest this week.
Game of the week is the clash at Manhattan Saturday between Kansas State and Nebraska. The Wildcats should be on the rebound after losing a heart breaker to Missouri last week, while Nebraska may have a let down after being at top form against a good Baylor eleven.
Elmer Hackney, big fullback, will be missing from the Kansas State lineup again this week, but Kent Duwe, sophomore fullback, has been filling his shoes in impressive fashion. Duwe, who was a high school sensation at Lucas, gained 97 yards in plunges against Mississippi. He is a 200 pounder, who is faster than Hackney by considerable.
However, it is the Kansas State line which is expected to do the heavy work against Nebraska. The Wildcat forward wall has been tough all season and the battle of the tight end lines has become Nebraska Has Several Fine Backs.
Nebraska will draw a scrappy, well drilled line into the game with some hard hitting backs behind it. Hermann Rohr, pudg halfback, played brilliant against Baylor and had expert assistance from such fine backs as Hopp, Knight, Luther, Francis DeFruter and Robn.
Sharing honors with this game is the contest at Ames between Missouri and Iowa State. It will be Homecoming at Iowa State and the victory hungry Cyclones may upset the dope and the Tigers.
Iowa State showed two weeks ago how tough it can be at home when it played the big Nebraska team to a standstill and lost by only three points. Missouri will be no heavier a favorite Saturday than Nebraska was against the Cyclones and the game may be a thriller.
Paul Christman, Missouri's backfield ace, continued his sensational play against Kansas State and will be the Tigers' main threat against Iowa State. The big passer is completing a sensational percentage of his passes and has extended his activities this year to hall carry and kicking.
Christman Continues to Star
Bill Cunningham's educated toe gives the Tigers a goal threat and the hard running sophomore fullback is a big asset on the ball carrying side. Cunningham played high school football with Christmas and the Orf twins at Maplewood, a suburb of St. Louis.
Hopes To Erd Losing Streak
Iowa State's hopes rest on a scrappy team, which should battle to the finish Saturday in an effort to end a four game losing streak. Merle Oelsen, 250 pound junior fullback, will be the key 'man in the Cyclones' attack.

Jim Stimmer is another crack Tiger back who can be expected to give Iowa State plenty of trouble. The former Attichon high school age player, the former Attichon high school age play and is good in all departments of play and is one of Christman's best receivers.
COVEY'S
Kansas has an open date this weekend and welcomes the rest. The Oklahoma game was a hard, bruising affair and the extra week to prepare for the Kansas State game, Nov 3, should mean plenty.
Okahama will devote the weekend to a renewal of its old rivalry with Oklahoma A. & M. The Sooners will be playing their last non-conference game of the season and are heavy favorites to win over the Cowboys.
Oklahoma A. & M. downed Washburn 26-7 last week, but will have to be in even better form to upset the crack Oklahoma team. The Sooner have size, speed and experience and it will be no surprise at all if the go through the regular season unde feated.
However, good as any of the Sooner backs may look, it is still the Oklahoma line which is the backbone of the team. Those hard charging forwardts the enemy's offensive holes in the opponents' defense.
Oklahoma Has Good Line
Byron Potter, 210 pound fullback who looked so good against Kansas in the last quarter Saturday probably will have an opportunity this weekend to show whether or not he can snap a flash in the pan. The big boy tot, 20, was vicious against the weary Jayhawks and may be a “find.”

In the other eleven-man game of the day, the Acacias tied the Galloping Dominies, conquerors of the Phil Delt's last week, in a 13-13 thriller. Joe Fournier, who throws a football like All-America Sid Luckman, pegged the pigsik 14 yards to Lehesak, Domino end, for the first score of the game. Edwards raced around end for the extra point. The Acacias came back strong in the second period, tallying two touchdowns. Woodman, Acacia end, caught passes for both of the touchdowns. Wood converted one of the extra point trys from

Boil teams played fine football but the Phi PSi has said too much all-around power for the Delta Chi's.
HOLDEN LINES By CLAVELLE HOLDEN, Kansan Sports Editor
A word description of the Oklahoma Sooners, the best football club in the Midwest, we think. As a group they can best be described as vicious. They are big and rough and play for "keeps". In most of the games the Sooners have been penalized considerably. Saturday they were penalized 30 yards in the first two minutes. They play a very rough brand of ball, but we couldn't call it dirty. The Jayahwkers just couldn't stand up against the pounding the Sooners handed out on each play. When they blocked or tackled the Jayhawkers, they literally knocked the "dickens" out of them. But after every play the Sooners usually picked the Jayhawkers up off the ground.
Russell Chit木和 Milton Sullivant deserve most bouquets. They are both little men, but they were th
defensive giants of the Kansas team. When the Sooner juggernaut, usually with Matthews carrying the ball behind a three man interference, started around their right end Chitwood time after time dummed
the entire interference as he turned the play in. And usually it was Sullivan coming up from a halfback position to stop the runner.
Frank Bukik deserves some mention for the way he stayed in there and continued passing the ball, and eventually started the touchdown.
drive with his heave to Americo. Under the Henry style of play, on a pass, the Kansas guards pull out of the line to block the opposing ends. And when the guards pulled out the Sooner guards charged in, and
they came in plenty fast. One of the Jayhawk guards displayed marks on the back of his legs where a Sooner guard kicked him when the running backward to protect the passer. Well, the main thing was that no one was stopping the Okhama guard, usually Stephenson. Bukaty would face back 15 or 20 yards, trying desperately to hold the ball until the receiver was open. About the time he would fire the ball the
big Okahman would hit him. Burk big had no chance to cover up before he was hit, and he took a terville heatling. The Sooner would shoot about five yards backward and then run back and pick him up.
One thing that made the Jayhawkers plenty mad was when "Caeus-face" Dugan roughed up little Denzel Gibbens. The Sooner tackled the little Jayhawk back right in front of the Kansas bench and as he did, proceeded to hit him in the face. He punched him and told lines told him what they thought about it. He merely grinned and walked back to his position.
In spite of all the roughness the Jayhawkers liked their opponents. Before and after the game they treated the visitors swell. In fact they seemed to go out of their way to shoot them at short time while they were in Norman.
Bus Hum, Oklahoma City sports writer, had the following to sav about

the game. . Sooners way below their usual standard . . . . W. F Jack best Kansas tackle . . . Jay-hawkers look just like the Lindsey-coached outfits . . . . That American, he is a sweet broken field runner . . .
Dwight Ream has scored more yards against Oklahoma than any eleven man team, editor's note—Mr. Ream was the referee, and to put it mildly the team didn't think much of a referencing. . . . Badby is a swell punter.
Our batting average in "predicting" league went up a couple of points this week. Out of 20 games that we attempted to decide the outcome of, we were right on 12 with seven losses and one tie. The biggest surprises were N.Y.U.'s win over Cornell and the Drake victory over the Cyclones.

FOOTBALL is one activity in the stepped-up life of an ordinary young man suddenly become a citizen of University City. At no time in his career has he been, nor will he ever be, charged with as many scattered variegated interests as he is in University City. Football, coke date, dance, show, tennis, steakfry, bicycling, shopping, study—all these and many, many more combine unhappily in one unbalanced kaleidoscope of unrelated pursuits which make his life unreal.
Fortunately, however, he remains a human being. School fails to rob him of that virtue. So he continues to eat, wear
clothes, sleep, drive a car, and read the newspaper. He reads the University Daily Kansan because it is written in the same spirit in which he lives—is written by, for, and about students.
