Kansas Meets Nation's Best Saturday
Slim Hope for Jayhawkers Against O.U. Powerhouse Big Game Saturday at Capital City In Game at Norman
By a Kansan Staff Writer
Gwinn Henry's Kansas Jayhawkers perched atop the Big Six ladder, will clash with one of nation's best this Saturday when they invade Norman to Meet "TOM TOM" Stidham's Oklahoma U. juggernaut.
The Sooners, who finished fourth in last fall's national rankings, hold victories over mighty Northwestern and Texas and a tie with the high-flying Mustang's of Southern Methodist. Last week's ratings placed the powerful Oklahomaans in third place behind Pitt and Notre Dame. Hence it would seem that Kansas has some task on their hands come Saturday. It will be the opening contest of the Big Six season for the defending champion Sooners.
The Jayhawkers, who have proved first class opportunists in
their first three games of the season, have been hard at work this week preparing a new defense for the Sooner on-slaught, polishing and learning a couple of new

Neil, sophomore end and Bill Nehl, senior tackle are recovering from knee injuries and may be ready by Saturday. Russ Chitwood, first string wingman, who played out of the Agile game because of a torn calf, probably be back at his starting left end slot against the Sooners.
Led by Orville Mathews, sophomore speedball and Bob Seymour, rugged fullback Stidham will unleash a backfield that ranks ahead of even last year's powerhouse, West, Jennings, Clark, Favor, and McCarty are runners, blockers and kickers of ability. Not to mention Stidham's ace in the hole, sophomore Jack Jacobs, the fanciest Indian back let off the reservation since "Rabbit" Weller displayed his feet wizardy at Haskell. Jacobs who is anling ankle, should be ready for Saturday's game, is acclaimed by many to be even better than Northwestern's highly publicized Bill De Corventure.
Still smarting under the memory of last minute defenses suffered at the hands of underdog Kansas teams at Norman in '35 and 37, still smarting in preparation and scrimmaging hard in preparation for the Jayhawk invasion.
The prowess of the backfield,
is dwarred by Stidham's great line,
I. Duggan, Bowers, Lahar, and
Tector, the Sooners boast a quartet
of tall twists and a tower over six feet. Oklahoma is equally strong at the flanks with C' 4' John Shirk and G' 3' Frank Ivy holding forth in rough fashion.
Kansas cannot be counted out
Jayhawkers were counted out in 1935 and Rutherford Hayes grabbed a pass in the final seconds to give the Birds a 7-9 victory. Again in 1937, Kansas rated a doomed underdog, and Dick Amerine;
DIVIELGIBBENS rine, now playing his last year in the red and blue field, nabbed a heave in the minute for a 6-3 Jeyehawk win.
The Kansas backfield which has functioned well in all three games will undoubtedly remain unchanged.
Amerine and Frank Bukaty at halves and the ruged Ed Hall at fullback Bill Bunsen, Denzil Bubains, and Eldreh Cadwalader are other backs who are sure to see front line firing. The Kansas
line, rated by many the weakest in the conference, has shown signs of improvement and will also remain unchanged.
Jake Fry Reported Ill
Jake Fry, promising sophomore halfback, is ill at his home in Kansas City. friends reported last night. He was suffering from a bad cold Tuesday and spent most of that day in bed. That night, when he failed to feel any better, he decided to go home.
No word has been received from him as to when he intends to return to Lawrence. Coach Henry said to Lawrence nothing from Fry since he went home.
Tigers Hampered By Injury Jinx
Faurot Believes All Will Be Ready for K-State Saturday
Columbia, Oct. 18—The injury jim was still honning Coach Dion Fourot as he sent his University of Missouri football squad through extensive drills in preparation for Kansas State, in Columbia Saturday.
Clay Cooper, reserve halfback speedster, Rayburn Chase, and Gene Gudin all came up with knee injuries as the Tiger monitor sent his charges through defensive drills Monday. The injuries, which were sustained in the Washington U. game, kept Cooper and Gudin out of active duty, and Chase was sans suit.
However, Coach Fauer feels that he can nurse his injured players back into shape for the Wildcat battle. Barring any more injuries, it looks as though the squad may be at full strength for the tussle.
Scout John "HF" Simmons arrived in the Tiger camp with a portfolio of information on the Wildcats, after viewing their clash with Colorado, and he had nothing but praise for their line. The freshman coach went on for record conceding Wry one of the best forward walls in the conference.
with the Tiger offensive power functioning again, the Wildcat line is looking forward to its first acid test of the season. The Tiger line is also shaping up better since the Ohio State fiasco, and the imminent clash between the two lines threatens dire consequences.

Ralph Miller will not play in Saturday's game been much speculation as to whether the Chanute see service against the Sooners this weekend. Coach Henry has stated that he definitely would not use him but he might play against K-State two weeks from Saturday. Miller was a sensation the early part of last season before he hurt his knee in the Iowa State game. This summer he had an operation and it was believed he would be able to return to the football wars this fall. The Jayhawker coach probably had the big vicious Oklah in mind when he decided not to use Miller.

If Miller should play Saturday we wonder how much of a bounty Bruce Drake would offer.
Tie this one for good sportsmanship. In a high school game between Fort Scott and Independence last Friday night a Fort Scott player was removed from the game in the second quarter for "kneeing." The ejected player was the star member of the Fort Scott backfield. During the half the Independence coach "Jog" Allen, went to the officials and told them that he didn't think the player used his knees intentionally and asked them to reinstate him. And they did! Fort Scott won 34-7 and the player who was banned and then allowed to return, scored two touchdowns and four extra points.

And speaking of "Jog" Allen reminds us that he was a member of a famous "Mutt & Jelf" combination at Pitt Teachers a few years ago. The other member of the duo was Dale Skilton, now head football coach at Kemper Military Academy. Allen was a halfback while Skilton played tackle. Incidentally we had best add that Allen only measures around 5" 6", while his former team-mate towered 6" 6".
So today the column tips its hat to "Joe" Allen, Independence high school coach, for showing some real sportsmanship.
John Shirk, regular end on Oklahoma's juggernutt football machine this year, is a cousin of Ferrel Anderson, former University football star and now a member of the Joplin Miners baseball club.
When New York and Washington and Philadelphia and Brooklyn both played seerole ties on the same day, it was the first time it had happened in the National Profs-

Gov. Payne Ratten will present the homecoming queen who will be crowned at the coronation ball to be held at 9:30 o'clock Saturday night in Whiting Fieldhouse on the Washburn campus.
Sixty high school bands have been invited to the game and a dozen already have accepted invitations to attend. The bands, the queen and her royal party and some twenty beautifully decorated floats will parade through the downtown district of Topeka at noon Saturday and at the stadium before the game.

Alumni and all other visitors will be shown about the campus an buildings. It promises to be the biggest homecoming celebration is the 75-year history of Washburn College.
Washburn is unbeaten in four games while the touring Aggies have won two and last two. The Aggies, however, boast of the strongest team during the seasonal tests and defeated Tulsa last week for the first time in six years.
