Jayhawkers Forget State Defeat
Play in Tucson This Week as Season Nears Close; Squad in Good Shape Physically
With the Kansas State game charged to the past, the Jayhawker gridders are now looking forward to the trip to Tuscon for the game with the Arizona Wildcats this Saturday. As the game sizes up, it appears that it will be no easy contest for Kansas, with Arizona being rated as having a possible edge in the season's performances.
In seven games this season, Coach Tex Olver has seen his team emerge the victors by a comfortable margin five times. The two defeats were at the hands of Texas Tech. and Centenary, regarded as very strong teams in the Southwest sector.
Arizona opened the season by defeating Arizona State. 20 to 6. The following week they defeated Oklahoma A. & M., 22 to 13. Next were the two defeats, first by Texas Tech, 20 to 0, and then by Centenary, 18 to 0. The final game was along, defacing New Mexico Aggies, 27 to 12, Loyola (Los Angeles), 13 to 6, and New Mexico University, 23 to 0.
Show Good Offense
All of which indicates that the Wildcats are strong, and as can be seen by the scores, that they have an exceptionally good offense. Whether or not the Kansas line will be able to offset this is doubtful. If the drive characteristic of the Jayhawk forwards in the Nebraska game is present in the Arizona contest, it will do much to put a dampening affect on the Wildcat offensive.
Physically, the Kansas team should be in good shape Saturday. Only injuries sustained in the Kansas State game were minor ones. Replogle, Amerine, and Hall received "charley horses," but these should respond to treatment in time for the trip. Chuck Wurrell, regular starter for the Kansas game in a rather 'wobbly' game in a rather 'wobbly' session, received only a hard bump on the head, and is not suffering any after-effects.
Hardcore, he has played as regular end most of the season, is still bothered with his knee, which was twisted in the Nebraska game. So far, the knee has not responded to treatment as expected, and it is not known whether Hardcore will be ready for action by this weekend.
Climate Affects Players
In spite of the good physical condition of the squad, another factor must be taken into consideration. This is the effect of the climate on the players. It has been noted many times that when a team seemingly sapped when it is required to play in the rarer atmosphere of a higher altitude. Add to this the tiring effects of the comparatively hot weather of Tucson after being used to practice and to coheat (even practice in the snow) and you have a big handicap for the Kansas team at the start.
An encouraging note is found looking forward to the Missouri game. The team will be playing with the "pressure" off for the first time in five weeks. In this game, the Jay-hawkers will not have much to lose and, therefore, it should give the squad a chance for relieving the nervous tension of the past few weeks. This, in turn, should help build for the team a better state of mind toward the Tiger battle.
Men's Intramurals
The first game of the touch football semi-finals, between the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta teams, will be played this afternoon at 4:30. The snow storm yesterday scheduled previously for yesterday
The game scheduled for today between Pi Kappa Pai and Beta Theta Pi has been postponed until Thursday.
Today's game should be a real battle even though S.A.E. rates a slight lead. Both teams have played good football during the present
In the 'B' division the Phi Psi's and Beta's will play the first game of the semi-finals today, which was to have been played yesterday. The Sig Ep' will play the Phi Delt's Thursday.

KFKU Will Broadcast Games
The K.U. athletic board has votes to permit the University's radio station, KFKU, to broadcast remaining games without charge. The board, on the ground the Big Six conference might take some conference action next spring, did not establish any rule for future years.
The board contributed $25 for Homecoming prizes, and up to $50 for general Homecoming expenses.
The matter of scheduling two more football games for the 1838 season was left to Gwinn Henry, athletic director, and the executive committee of the board, which includes Dr. W. R. C. Moore, Dr. R. C. McOechie and George Nettlels.

Although the defeat by Kansas State destroyed their chances for an undisputed title, the Kansas Jayhawkers are not yet completely out of the championship picture.
Championship possibilities still exist, hinging on the results of two games: the Kansas-Missouri tussle on Thanksgiving Day, and the Nebraska-Kansas State game on the following Saturday.
If the Jayhawkers down the Mi sourii Tigers, they will be assure of at least a tie for second place an depending on the outcome of th Husker-Aggie game, can possibly gain a first place tie with Oklahoma OKahama, with its schedule completed, can only wait and hope for a Wildcat victory over Nebraska. The Huskers may capture the conference title by the runner-up Kansas State or drop to the runner-up position in the Kansas State through the combination of victories in two remaining games with Iowa State and Nebraska, and a Missouri win over Kansas, can climb into a third place deadlock with the Tigers.
Iowa State alone has its final position determined. The Cyclones have suffered four defeats in as many conference games, and have nothing to gain but an improved record by winning Saturday's game with Kansas State. Although doomed to a loss in the final, the will aid in shaping the final conference standings in the result of its encounter with the Aggies.
Therefore, it is seen that the Big Six race, at present, is largely a game of free games remaining, almost anything can happen—and probably will.
Former Student Contributes to Magazine
Ward has been received by the department of English that Alfred C. Amos, formerly a Summerfield scholar and assistant professor in the department of English at the University of Illinois, contributed to the study of American French at Fur Deutschen Unterricht." University of Wisconsin publication.
His article is entitled, "Some English Mosaics from Faust." This article is a study of a number of English translations of the lyrics in Goethe's "Faust." It compares the degree of success with which poetical qualities of the originals are transferred to the English translations. Ames' mosaics consist of of a composite arrangement of line from a variety of translations of the German lyrics.
Music, carefully selected to charm
and entertain, is one of the
outstanding features of Durbin's new production, "100 Men

While the picture is not a "musical," the combination of the 14-year-old songstress and the great composer Polishman Kowski naturally produces music.
With the accompaniment of Stokowski's full symphony orchestra she sings it by Mozart and the libretta "Librilla" from "La Traviata" by vesta
Miss Burdin singles four songs during the unfolding of the comedy drama. There are two popular songs by Frederick Hollander and Sam Coslow; and "A Heart That's Free" by Alfred G. Robyn and Thomas T.
MUSIC'S CHARMS
Stokowiak conducts his orchestra so it renders Wagner's Prelude to *Die* with a lyrical twist. Tchaikovsky's Fourth Movement, Fifth Symphony; Liszta's Second Hungarian Rhapsody; Berlioz "Rurik" and the Symphony Override from "Zammy"-"Adav."
Basketteers Start Drill In Earnest
practice in Auditorium
For First Time This
Season; Meet Freshmen
In First Game
Fundamental drills, screen practice, and shooting baskets occupied the varsity basketball squad last night as it worked out in Hoch auditorium for the first time. Lester Pojeffine, rangy sophomore from Oklahoma City, is the first casualty of the squad. Pojeffine injured his ankle when he crushed into an iron brace supporting the basket.
Practices will be held in the auditorium at least twice a week so the squad can become accustomed to the lights and the floor. "We have only one week left before Thanksgiving," he said. "We head basketball coach, "and our game with the freshmen on Dec. 3 is going to be a tough battle."
To Use New Goals
Bask- o-lice goals will be used for the games for the first time, announced Dr. Allen. Bask- o-lice goals have three red lights, one just behind the basket, and two behind the basket braces. Every time a ball goes through the basket the red lights are flashed on, equipped with a mercury switch, and the ball hits a trip arm in going through the basket and the lights are flashed on. Dispatches as to whether the ball went through the basket should be eliminated by use of these lights. Missouri and Oklahoma have already agreed to the match played here. Dr. Allen hopes that the other schools will agree to use them before the season opens.
Five home games are on the schedule before the Christmas holidays. All these games are with teams outside of the Big Six. The first conference game is with Oklahom

Surprised? Sure we were surprised. But it wasn't the fact that K-State won that surprized us--it was the margin of their superiority that was shocking. So vicious was the K-State defense that the Jay-hawkers never penetrated deeper than their own forty-yard line and gained only one earned first down. But then after reading the account of the Nebraska game with Pitt in which the Huskers were held to a minus nine yards from scrimmage and nearly won anyway, we felt somewhat better.
Football has turned into a funny game. This year, more than any other, the team that piles up a big margin in yards from scrimmage has been taken it on the chin in total having been raised up every week to hit their peak and beat a team that was trying to get its breath after a hard game the week before. It was that way Saturday. While K-State probably would have won anyhow, the jayhawks were the ones they were when they played Nebraska. Just as the Huskers nearly lost to Iowa State after playing that great game against Minnesota at the first of the season
Clothes for right row and all winter—real selection for your choosing. "Glad to show you."
We're certainly not trying to alibi for the defeat. The Kansas team fought with all it had, but the boys were dead on their feet and K-State kept them on the defensive during the entire game. The Wildcats were tackling harder, blocking harder, and running harder. Their attack included passes that clicked, and there was just enough deception to keep the line spread out so that their line smashes were effective. And mister, when you've got line splitters on your team like the
Absence of any deception on the part of the Jayhawkers allowed the Wildcats to concentrate their defensive strength at the places where it did the most good. K-State players was playing and they had men there with orders that no red jerseys should pass.
Messrs. (or messers, take your choice) Briggs and Hackney, you've got something.
There was just as much fight present in the University team when they took the field as there was last week at Lincoln. But Kansas State was primed for the game, and after the two victories heels in the first few minutes, the Wildcats wouldn't allow them to get back on their toes again.
Probably the least surprised of the nineteen thousand persons who entered Memorial stadium expecting to see a "Bird Eat Cat" exhibition was the visiting coach, Master Wesley Fry. This wily person stated in the newspaper Friday that his team had only an outside chance to win, but that was far from what he thought.
Before coming to Lawrence, Mr. Fry showed pictures of last year's massacre at Manhattan to his chief trouble maker, a fellow named Cleveland, and the rest of his little play follows. Quotch Mr. Fry, "Fellows, this is the same team that we licked the trousers off of last year, and there no reason why we shouldn't do the same thing this year." Right here Mr. Fry's boys showed their lack of individuality by swallowing what he told them as they looked into the box believed that if Mr. Fry said so, it was apparently true, so they proceeded to take up where they left off at Manhattan. Probably Mr. Fry didn't even tell his men that KU. had beaten Oklahoma and tied Nebraska. Maybe he didn't think
that was important. (Evidently wasn't.)
The question before the house now is "Can the Wildcats stop Nebraska?" The answer would seem to be that they have a right good chance. However, they'll have to develop a punch that will click after they reach the 20-yard line. Against Kansas, the Wildcats were a powerhouse in midfield, but apparently they ran out of tricky plays when they reached scoring territory. Nebraska's tricky passing attack may be the deciding factor. It is certain that the Huskers do not have a backfield to match Cleveland and company.
If Kansas can forget Saturday's game now and make good showings in their remaining games, the season can be considered quite a success. After all, the most rabid supporters didn't expect over one conference victory when the season opened.
The Kansas cheering section and band, anyway, looked like "big league" stuff Saturday. The card display looked very good from the back and the blue draped fleece comment with its matching and playing.

At Princeton, Yale, Rutgers, Penn, Lafayette, Cornell and other schools a new kind of football is coming to the fore. It's fast, spectacular. You can't play on these bantam teams if you weigh more than 150 pounds. Speed and brains count more than weight. With no big stadiums, no big training tables, no big injuries, the pigkin peewees have made their sport most exciting to watch, most popular to play.
