Kansas The Underdog Again
Jayhawks Return
To More Favorable
Status as Arizona Trip
Approaches
Kansas will return to its usual status this Saturday, that of underdog. This should bode well for the Jayhawkers, for in the two games conceded on Friday it conceded the edge this season, the results have gone against them.
On the other hand, in the games in which Kansas has been decided the underdog, the Jayhawkers have risen up to win the game or put up a real fight before losing, as was the case in the Michigan State game.
Last year, the best showing of Ad Lindsey's team from the standpoint of the final score, was against Arizona, 0 to 1. If it had not been for the results of other games, that score would have made the Jayhawks compare favorably with such teams as Centenary and Texas Tech, both of whom Arizona tied.
Scores: Unpredictable
The result of that game also shows the unpredictability of football scores, for the week following the Kansas game, Arizona lost to Michigan. Minnesota State had previously beaten the Jayhawks, 41 to 0.
Smlanich Backfield Star
Carrying the load for the Wildcats this year are two outstanding linemen and several star backfield performers. At center, "Long Tom" Kovacic is a standout in good football, with specializes of intercepting passes and blocking kicks. Greenfield is 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and weighs 199 pounds. The other standout lineman is Leon Gray a senior guard. Gray, although not heavy at 171 pounds, is stockily being only 3 feet, 9 inches tall.
In the backfield, perhaps the greatest star is "Bromo" Smilanich, a boy from Michigan whom Bernie Bierman overlooked. Last year, Smilanich averaged 7.1 yards in the ball, which was not at all seldom.
This year, Smiilanch is maintaining the pace he set last year, and is mentioned for all-American honors. He is 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds. At fullback there was Naitie Klein 6 feet, 1 inches weight 89.8 pounds. In addition to his size, Naiien is by no means slow.
The Kansas team has been hand-capped by a snow-coord field this week that has limited practice session days. The team will go the long trip thursday at 10:47 a.m.
Jackson, right halfback, has developed into a star this year, and is vying with Smlainich for ground-gaining honors. Jackson does not weigh so much, only 158, but he makes up for it in speed and drive. Jackson is also the receiving end of a Smlainich to Jackson passing combination that has been working well all year.

Along the Sideline By William Fitzgerald, c'39 Kansan Sports Editor
The sports' columnist in the Daily Nebraskan, University of Nebraska paper, maintains the Huskers should *r*- ranked as the number two team in the nation following that great battle they put up against Pitt. He big-heartedly admits that Pitt is the nation's best, but says Nebraska is the worst. The right but followers of Alabama, California, and some of the other undefeated clubs would probably put up quite an argument with them. Especially since the Nebraskans gained a minus nine yards from scrimmage against the Panthers. They have had three games they have gained a 7-6 decision if they didn't fumbled near their own goal line late in the game.
It all goes to prove that once Nebraska gets out in front they're as hard to catch as a 6 a.m. train. Luckily for Kansas the Huskers never got in the lead in that game at Lincoln. The "Jones boys" may have trouble in their remaining games with Iowa and Kansas State if the story about all their injuries suffered in the Pitt game is true. (Especially if anything happens to Charley Brock or Johnny Howell.)
John R. Tunis, who does his sports commentating for College Humor, has selected the University of Washington to the leading school in college sports. In so doing Tunis has passed up such gridiron greats as Pitt and others. Says Tunis, "Washington is supreme on the world on football." The new front office football, basketball, and minor sports like swimming and skiing."
Tums has chosen Louisiana State as second, Ohio State third, and Dartmouth fourth. The College Humor scribe has used general excellence in sports rather than special achievement in his classification.
The sports writers and fans are starting their yearly ballyhoo as usual in support of their candidates for all-conference honors. This year the "clinches" for any one position were David Smith, Oklahoma end, Ch ailey Brock, Nebraska center, and Howard Cleveland, K-State back, probably the only unanimous choices. Jack Beer, Okahoma, and John Howley-Nebraka, are two other backs Big Six team without much trouble.
Clarence Douglas is getting plenty of support for the fullback post, but he'll really have to step out in the Missouri game to beat out such stars like D.J. Novak and John of Nebraska. Some writers may pick Elmer Hackey over Briggs, but on his performance here Saturday Hackey will have to take a back seat (Hackery's roughhouse tactics help him help him beat anybody out, either).
Biology Fraternity Will Meet Tonight in Snow Hall
Other Kansasans who will be up near the top are Ward and Bosilevac, tackles; Anderson and Stapleton, guards; and Replogle, halfback. Ward has been the iron man of the Kansas line this year, and has been playing the best football of his career. We have not seen him play all-star team without Replogle. In fact, we even hate to think of an all-star team.
Phi Sigma, honorary biology fraternity, will meet this evening at 30 in room 206,雪场 hall. Dr.aren Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology, will speak on "Origins of living Man," stressing particularly the recent advances in the study of the origin of the human species.

All active members are especially requested to attend, as an important business meeting will follow the lesson of the lecture will be open to the public.
Scrimimage was on the program for the varsity basketball squad last night. Every many was given a chance to play. Twenty-two were suited-up and the squad was teams, teams, the Reds and the Whites.
Starting for the Whites were Goay and Corlis, at forwards; Schmidt at center; and Johnson and Praile at guards. Florel and Reid, forward;s; Bowles, center; and Kappleman and Harp at the guard posts started for the Reds. Good passing, shooting, and floor work was displayed by this crew with only two previous practices. The Whites managed to nose out the Reds by a score of 22 to 19.
Other men who saw action last night were Durand, Hunt, Fugitt, Dietrich, Sullivan, Nelson, Owen, Wienecke, Vanor, Korat, Hermault, Muller, Auer, Krauss, Bowles, Bowles and Hunt are being used at the offensive center position. Hunt, the smallest man on the squad, will be valuable since he is very slippery and hard to catch. Corlis and Johnson are showing up in the early practice sessions Pralle, as usual, is playing a goo game.
Poijeny, rangy sophomore, who injured his ankle in Monday night's practice session, was not able to take part in the scrimmage last night.
Kenneth Born, field secretary and organizer for the American Student Union, spoke before a small audience at a city union building Tuesday night.
According to Dr. F. C. Allen, head basketball coach the squad will alternate days, with work on funda- tion a day and serimage the next day.
Kenneth Born Speaks to A.S.U.
Mr. Born, a former student of the University, spoke informally upon the "red" probe now being conducted here on the Campus. After an introduction by Andrew Arnold, c38, president of the University chapter of the A.S.U. Born opened a museum that was shocked to hear, while in Chicago, that a "red" investigation had been launched here.
Mr. Born outlined the aims and objectives of the American Student Union and denied that it was in any way connected with the Communist party. "If you call a 'red' an individual who believes in progressive unionism, is opposed to imperialistic wars, promotes the cause of world peace, and furthers the aims of democracy," said Born, "then we must accept the label and all be called 'reds.'"
