South Bend Fans Believe Ramblers Are in for Stiffest Opening Game Since Layden Took Over In 1934; Have Respect for Jayhawkers After Texas Game
South Bend, Ind., Sept 29—The several question marks which have been floating over Cartier practice field at the University of Notre Dame will be partially and maybe entirely dispelled Saturday when the Fighting Irish open their 1938 football season against the University of Kansas.
The opener has indications of being the hardest first-game test faced by the Irish since Coach Elmer Layden took charge in 1934. Kansas piled up a 19 to 0 lead on Texas last Saturday and then coasted to a 19 to 18 victory. The Longhorns outlasted
At any rate, Kansas is strong enough so that the Irish will get a thorough assay, and it is not unlikely that Kansas will win, if the answer to a few of the questions in Layden's mind prove to be negative.
Irish Fear Miller
The Jayhawkers showed last season in beating Oklahoma and tying Nebraska that they don't scare easily in big time company. They confirmed this truth against Texas last Saturday. With seven starters and a host of reserves back from the pitching AL联盟 that a team with experience and poise. To this powerful nucleus he has added one of the best sophomore crops in years, headed by Ralph Miller, generally considered the best prep athlete produced in the state of Kansas in the last decade. Miller tossed one touchdown pass and he intercepted a Texas forward, returning it 90 yards for a three-run game. Airline leading K.U. ground runner last season, is Miller's running mate at right halfback.
Coach Elmer Lyden, disappointed at his team's raging timed, spotty blocking, and weak tackling in recent scrimgames has been driving his squad hard this week in preparation for the opener.
He and his assistants spent the spring practice session selecting the best 11 men for their positions on the squad. He has stuck by this choice since fall practice. But when the No. 1 team had to come from behind to tie the third team, and when it had to get a second shot at the freshmen before it could score—after being held scoreless during the first quarter, he began to wonder if his 11 best men were putting forth their best possible efforts. Not Many Serimimages
Layden is apparently confident that his first team will snap out of it under the realization that last year the Irish won, lost, and tied in their first three games, when the statistics showed they could have won all three. Numerous lineup changes followed, and Notre Dame lost only one more game out remaining six. Kansas's impressive showing against Texas' thrill of the first intercollegiate contest of the year the danger of lineup activity and this week's practice program may combine to get the fighting Irish "up" for Saturday's game.
Overwork can't be the cause of the varsity's lethargy, for the Irish had only four days of double drills before classes started on Sept. 15. Scrimmages have been comparatively few in the Irish camp.
Passes Still Baffle Oklahoma Sooners
Norman, Okla., Sept. 29. —Oklahoma's Sooners are still displaying their old weakness against passes. In practice sessions against the freshmen this week Coach Tom Stidham's burly line has been stopping running plays behind the line of scrimmage, but the fresh have been able to gain consistently through the air.
Three Nebraska Aces On Injured List
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29.—Fullback "Wild Bill" Callihan, the boy
Coach "Biff" Jones has been banking on to spark his Cornhusker outfit this fall, is on the injured list along with verterans Charley Brock and Jack Dodd, as the Nebraskas get ready for the invasion of Minnesota's Golden Gophers Saturday. However, the coaches expect to have them ready for the season's opener.
Wildcat Backfield Looks Good to Fry
Manhattan, Sept. 29. -Coach Wes Fry isn't worried a bit with field problems, but he gets a headache every time he thinks of how his green Wildcat line might stop the hard-charging Northwestern squad they will be facing in Evanston Saturday.
Fry has two outstanding full-backs in Ehmer Hackney and Bobby Briggs, and he has been toying with the idea of putting them both in the same backfield in an effort to add punch to the K-State attack
Tigers Drill Against Colorado Plays
Columbia, Mo., Sept. 29. — The Missouri Tigers who meet the "Wizzerless" Colorado U. team here Saturday have been drilling against Colorado plays this week with Porter Robb and Myron Council alternating at the fullback post left vacant by the injured Bill Cunningham. Lineman Jack Kinnison and Bob Waldorf have looked particularly good at diagnosing Buffalo plays.
Iowa State Ready For a 'Breather'
Ames, Iowa, Sept. 29. After disappointing of tough Denver U. in its opener last week, Coach J Jim Yeager's Iowa State Cyclones are preparing for a "breather" with little Luther College Saturday after the fall season begins the following week. The squad, in good shape, has been working on pass defense and general fundamentals this week.
Chicago Downs Bucs 10 to 1
The Cubs were hitting and Big Bill Lee was pitching yesterday as Chicago downed the Pirates, 10 to 1, to sweep the game-game series and go a game and a half in front in Not National League pennant chase.
The victory was Lee's twenty-first and the fourth time he had taken the hill in four days. Russ Bauers, startler for the Bucs, was pounded out by a vicious Cub hitting attack.
Gabby Hurtnett's rollicking Bruins have a three-game series left with the St. Louis Cardinals, and Pittsburgh closes out the season in a four-way set with the fagging Cincinnati Reds.

Did you know that at Notre Dame they actually keep all women out of the press box? ... Yep, it's a fact ... Wonder if Pie Troy slept well then the Yankees will have the Cubs for company come World Series time ...

Note to B.F.: This Korter don't mind your criticism of the kolum but do wish you would spell the name right . . . Couches Elmer Layden and Chet Grant of Notre Dame have written a story to appear in November . . . Its catchy title is "No Quarter For Quarterbacks".
Morale runs high as the Jayhawkers gird for Notre Dame . . . For the first time, the boys are going to South Bend with the intention of winning . . . and not merely to workout the Irish . . . although it must be admitted they have not done badly up there in the past.
--and if he does it will be something to see. Last year he was the Jayhawk's most elusive ball car advance margin and this fall he is again the stiffest hip-swinger on the squad.
Iowa State publicity is booming Everett Kischer, the mighty atom, as potential All-American material . . . But don't take it lightly, he's just about that good . . . Nebraska's Corn-huskers sweep that he gave them more trouble in five minutes than any other man they met all year . . . A busted collar bone after that five minutes laid him on the shelf for a month and shot his chance for a national reputation.

Dick Amerine Wants Victory Over Irish for Birthday Present
Dick Amerine, ace Jayhawk right halfback, will celebrate his twentieth birthday cavorting on the gridron against Notre Dame
There is no birthday present Dick could receive Saturday which would please him more than a victory over Notre Dame and if he can win the game by himself, it is in the bag for Kansas.
Amerine hopes to play the game of his life against the Fighting Irish
sophtomme year, Dick averaged better than four yards a try carrying the ball. Against Michigan State's powerful Spartans he got away for two 15 yard gallops and at Arizona for a run of more than 30 yards.
DICK AMERINE
All this was despite the fact that he was besieged with boils during the first half of the season and into which really good shape as a result.
In spring practice and so far this fall Amerine has not been bothered by his old affliction and is in far better condition than ever before. Consequently great things are expected of the six foot, 173-foot Amerine who lives on a farm just outside of Lawrence.

He Beat the Sooners
Dick made his varsity debut in an auspicious manner. In the variesfreshman game last fall Amerine came into the game at the start of the second quarter and on the first play twisted and dodged 47 yards through the yearlings for a touchdown.
However Dick won the most acclaim last year by scoring a touchdown against Oklahoma with fifteen seconds to play to give Kansas a 6-3 victory. The score came on a long pass which two Oklahoma backfield men leaped up to bat down.
The ball was deflected, however, toward Amerine and the Kansas star, although off balance, managed to catch the ball on his fingertips and after juggling the ball a moment got a firm grip on it. This was on the Oklahoma 25-yard line and Dick immediately set sail for the corner of the field, hotly pursued by the safety man. The two ran together for the corner and Dick just managed to make it.
