Conference Title Is At Stake Saturday
Ames-Sooner Tilt Features Young Tutors
*Jayhawkers are Only Eleven not Engaged Saturday; Sooners Unscored Upon
By Carl Lundquist
United Press Staff Correspondent Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 14—(U.P.)—Around the nation's football gossip circles they are talking today about two successful young men who are only a few years older than the players they have molded into winning teams.
Indian Tom Sidham at Oklaheim and Smiling Jim Yeeager at Iowa State are in their early thirties, each is in the midst of his second season as a big time head coach, and both are casting their eyes toward their campus poles to see how the conference championship banner it probably will be Sidham. Okla-would look up there.
One of them will know after next Saturday. It might be Yeager, but homa could get by with a tie and still win the title, but Iowa State will have to produce a victory to beat the harem. Edsore to Soumers
A team like the Sooners, which has waylaid four conference opponents and has not permitted any one of them to score, has to be conceived whatever edge there might be in a game for the title. But Iowa State has an inspirational quarterback, Eever Kissler, who has forgotten the meaning of defeat. Through his sophomore and junior years he saw the colors of the Cyclones too often trampled to the turf to suit him. As signal caller this year he made himself a probable all-American because he could kick, pass, run, tackle or block as occasion demanded. But he would have been valuable to his team as a leader without his several seasons at Alabama, with barely more than a minute to go, he thwarted defeat by speeding his team 74 yards down stream with five forward passes and a running play. His touchdown pass to Chas, Heilman was executed with three seconds to go.
Oklahoma has no one standout, but the team as a whole is a raring, rollicking group that seems to be wholly without nerves or tension. The Sooners are the "gas house gang" of football. In practice they play tight games against their play "stingirge" with wet towels in the dressing room, they forget to shave three or four days before a big game. There is no cleaner team in the circuit, but the boys play hard and fast. Their leader on the field, if any, probably is a big tackle they call "Cactus Face" Duggan, whose fierceness now is enhanced by a steel muzzle which just wan't to protect a cheek bone, fractured earlier in season.
Coaches Praised Highly
Whatever happens Saturday, both Stidham and Yeager deserve the lound praises they are getting from the gridiron gentry. Elsewhere there are unbeaten teams, but all are coached by veterans who have been at the helm, there or at other major institutions for many seasons, and who have had plenty of chance to install their systems. Stidham and Yeager by this token are upstarts. Each inherited his job when a head coach left the post. Biff Jones went from Oklahoma to Nebraska and George Veenker, became athletic director at Iowa State.
The game at Ames is the only conference contest. Missouri, which has won outside the circuit, but which has been turned back within, will attempt to capture the mythical state championship against St Louis University. Nebraska after a credible showing against Pittsburg, invlge the Big Ten to play Iowa and might win. Kansas State has to face an improving Washburn eleven, while Kansas, literally shaken to pieces with injuries, gets a needed off-day.
Homecoming Movies now Showing Downtown
Moving pictures in color taken by Art Welf, c'39, and assistants during the recent Homecoming celebration, are now showing at the Gramada theater during the game, card displays during the half of the game the house decorations, the card displays during the half and some picture of the game itself.
KAP in this KORNER
by Lester Kappelman
Texas Christian's Davey O'Brien had only three interceptions of his first 102 aerials this season, which is not bad passing in anybody's league. . . Our nomination for best competitor of the week goes to Miller Stevenson, Washington, D. C. golfer, who qualified in a section United States Amateur test at the ripe young age of 56. . . There's also another Miller worthy of the headline about him. Miller, the Kappa Sig intramural touch footballers, really wowed 'em with his passing and kicking in his team's upset victory over the Phi Pi's Monday evening. . .
If there is a more rude fellow in the United States than this guy Amos Alonso Stagg, we'd like to hear about him . . . The city of Chicago gave him a job for 40 years, and six years later turned out enmuse to pay him homage. What did he do? We didn't know. 32 to 10 . . . We admit it was a fitting climax for an "All time all-American coach" . . .
Babe Didrikson and Mysterious Johnny Montague will shortly begin a tour of the golf links in which they plan to take over the hurdles all rivals, male or female. . Edel Wilbels and Ray Prochaska, busky sophomore gristers at the University of Nebraska, both toss the discs around the 100-foot mark. . In case you not up on your track statistics, that's pretty fair country throwing. . .
When Baker squares off against the undefeated Ottawa eleven Friday in their traditional series, the two Hough brothers will square off too. . . Kenneth is a regular guard for the Braves, and Don the Star Wildcat fullback. . . . Congratulations to Charley Brock, Nebraska's great center, who just about finishes his position by his great perform-ance against Pitt Saturday. . . . But don't give too big odds on it yet Kia Aldrich of T. C. U. is also putting in a few stitches for the same birth. . .
It appears as if the football team's injury bugaboo is becoming contagious. . . . Swee Johnson of the varsity court squad is the latest-a victim of a new trick by an old trick knee. . . Mitll Allen, who many fans remember as one of the classiest passers ever to wear the Jayhawker colors, returned yesterday to give father Phog's "quarterbacks" (among their brother Bob) a ball-handling demonstration. . . . And he did it in no convincing manner..
Plenty of Planes To Protect Nation Says Navy Pilot
With the Navy training more than two hundred new pilots every year and with its air force now up to standard, it appears that this country has nothing to fear from foreign attack. At least that was the heartening picture the Aero Club gathered from a talk made to it last fall at Construction 141 Nixon, U.S.N., situated at Fairfax field, Kansas City.
Using one of the new techniques the navy has developed, dive bombing, Nixon illustrated how naval ships could help battleships win battles.
Eighteen bombing planes carrying a thousand pound bomb each began diving at an enemy ship from eighteen thousand feet. At two thousand feet they loosed the bombs three seconds apart. This might not sink the ship but it would reduce its speed—perhaps not more than two miles an hour—but enough for an American fleet to outmaneuver the enemy. On such small things were battles won.
"What did the target look like?" Nixon asked. "Oh, it appeared about a foot long and you were at three hundred miles an hour at the
Beside the actual flying duties of a navy pilot, Nixon also discussed the training required. He told club members that there were possibilities for college graduates to become fliers. The navy maintains 14 reserve training fields where students are taken for instruction. If they pass satisfactory examination they are transferred to Pensacola where they receive further training and then enter the navy as
K-State Court Team at Work
★Coach Root has Three Lettermen in Squad of Twenty-Two
Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 15—White King Football is receiving the attention on the Kansas State campus; Coach Frank P. Root is supervising the game; Coach Jeff Kebelteam in preparation for the opening game of the season Dec. 3.
Twenty-two men are taking part in the drills on fundamentals and ball handling as Coach Root attempts to get preliminary work out of the way and get down to hard work. Following eight conference games, opening with Southwestern at Winfield, the Wildcats start the Big Six schedule against Iowa State at Ames, January 7.
With but three lettermen returning from last year's squad, the K-State mentor is forced to start from the ground up in building an aggregation capable of standing the fast pace played in the Big Six. Leading the trio of "K" wearers is Homer Wesche, all-conference center who is one of the loop's sharphooters, and Ervin Reid, a high scoring sophomore last season. Both are former Manhattan high perimeter players and power powers Root has George Krumer, Mankato, a small but very efficient guard who played brilliant ball at times during the last campain.
reporting for practice besides Wesche, Reid and Kramer, include Leland Lain, Clyde; R. J. Gorman, Hartford, Conn.; Keith Wagoner, Blue Rapids; Leslie Dogre Sencea; Kenneth Graham, Farmingham, Mglen Bees, Pretty Prairie; Ernest Milner, Independence; Marshall Robinson, Topeka Walter Smirl, Wilsey; Sidney Holeton, Newton; W. J. Dunn, Tescott; Clarence Dreier, Kansas City, Kan. Dean Kipp, Manhattan; Joe Robertson, Brownstown, Ind.; Vinton Puckett, Manhattan; Nervis Horston, Tropea; Jack Horacek, Topeka; Warren Hornsby, Topeka; and Paul Robinson, Miltonville.
Missouri Mathematician Will Speak Thursday
Professor L. M. Blumenthal of the University of Missouri will speak to the Mathematics Colloquium Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in room 203. Room 204 for meeting is open to the public, and anyone interested is invited to attend.
Professor Blumenthal will talk on "Distance Geometries" a subject on which he has recently published a book.
The physical universe is the four dimensional universe of space-time; that statement remains to this day one of the most awe-inspiring and incomprehensible of all those made in Einstein's relativity.
cadet fliers. After three years they are returned to civil life, placed in the naval reserve subject to further duty during war time. Thus America is increasing its flying strength.
★Charles McGee Scores To Defeat Delta Chis In Feature Tilt
Phi Delts Win 6-0 Thriller
The Phi Delta Theta-Delta Chi game proved the highlight of yesterday's intramural touch football schedule. Although the skirmish was a low scoring encounter, the sizeable crowd of spectators were furnished with numerous spectacular plays. It was the Phi Delt gridmen, who finally settled the scoring luse, after Charles McGee scouted across the chalk line for the lone tally of the game.
Several times the Delta Chi's shoved the pigskin dangerously near the pay-off zone, but each drive was successfully checked by the brilliant defense of thephi Delti advance guard. Still protecting their six point lead, the Edgehill eleven welcomed the end of the contest. Although it was only the second victory of the season for the winners, it advanced their position in the standings above the Delta Chi squad, who have won two and lost three.
By virtue of their 0-9 deadlock with a fighting Galloping Dominoe squad, Theta Tau moved a step closer to top honors in the third division. Should the engineers come out on top in their next and last game of the season, they will clinch the championship of their bracket. However, if they are defeated, the Galloping Dominoe will have an opponent to walk off with the honor. In yesterday's contest between the two top notchers, the squads proved that both are true champions.
Six-Man Ep Team Wins
Although the azure-shirted Fiji's faired badly on the scoreboard, they played a bang-up brand of ball. With the exception of two Ep spurs, both squads were fairly evenly matched.
The third game, played yesterday, resulted in a 12-0 win by the six-man Sigma Phi Epion team, over Phi Giamma Delta "B." Neither squad saw the opposition's goal during the first half. However, the third stanza presented the first of the fireworks. In the closing seconds of this canto, lanky Bo Cooper, Ep爪man, took a lengthy pass to John Martin and lodged the ten-yard stripe. On the next play a flap into the arms of Lee Powell produced the first score of the fray. The second Sig Ep tally was a result of a fleet end sprint by Martin.
