Varsity Not Up to Form
Second Scrimmage Is Far Infertior to First Workout on Monday
An afternoon composed mostly of work on fundamentals was climaxed yesterday afternoon by a half hour's scrimmage by the variosity football squad. This was the second scrimmage of the season and the team looked far inferior to the form displaced in Monday's workout.
The first-string backfield composed of Divae and Repiagle, half-backs; Shirk, fullback, and Meier, quarter was being rushed too fast
and didn't have much time to get

tempted three punts during the session and had two of them blocked.
Paul Masonier reported to the field sick and was not in uniform. George Stapleton was also unable to respond and position was handled by "Whitey" Huff.
There may be another scrimage session today with the hope of getting a 'smoother working outfit' for Saturday's game with the fresh.
The second-string backfield was made up of Sullivan, who starred in Monday's scrimmage, Weinecke, Amerine and Douglass.

Along the Sideline By William Fitzgerald, c'39 Kansas Sports Editor
The Chicago Cubs, with a fighting chance for the National League pennant, moved to within 1½ games of victory yesterday afternoon by beating their New York rivals 7-5. There are only two weeks of play remaining and the two teams meet again today and tomorrow to complete a series that may decide whom the New York Yankees will play in the World's Series. The Giants and the Red Sox face off at Melton and Carl Hubbell, to throw at the Cubs, but Chicago is baseball mad and will be playing inspired baseball. We'd certainly like to be in Chicago this afternoon.
To get a line on Nebraska this year you have to get an idea of Nebraska's line. "Biff" Jones has seven letterm in the starting line: Dohrmann and Richardson, end; Doyle and Shirey, tackles; Mehring and English, guards; and Broek, center. And he came up with a mere 197 pounds with Doyle, the big boy of the team, at 222 Mehring, a guard, will be the midget of the line at 174, but he makes up for his lack in weight through experience, speed and aggressiveness. Meanwhile Jones is still worried about his backs, although he three letterm with the team, with a big, brusing sophomore, McIravy, at fulback. The Huskers don't have too much to fear in the Big Six unless Missouri keeps up that rapid development.
The increased interest in freshman football this year is easily noticeable. The frosh look like something to write home about and every afternoon they draw their share of the fans. It looks good to have big tackles like Martin and Merkle around, and with such men as Ralph Miller and Ben Roethlisberger back pants and plunge through holes in the line, the game Saturday should be worth while. We're not even suggesting that the frosh will win, however. The varsity has too much experience and members have worked together too long and been sitting till the short. Nevertheless, the冠军 and a hisides, Stukey and Giannangelo, appear to be doing a good job with their recruits.

We heard a fellow remark yesterday that it was going to seem good to have Glenn Prenell on our side rather than having him hammering the sword in the end of the game. Prenell ranks on the all-time all-Nebraska team and was an all-Amer-
nean halfback his senior year at Nebraska. And don't think Prenell didn't make things tough on Kansas. Ask the old timers. He's a welcome addition to the Kansas staff, not only because he knows his football but beware of his teammates and the players really like him. With Prenell and Getto, former all-American tackle from Pitt, Kansas has two all-Americans as coaches.
The Jayhawkers play Arizona U. at Tuson Nov. 20 as part of Arizona's homecoming activities. Last year Kansas surprised the experts by holding the Bursar Conference for a special memorial stadium. A week later Michigan State, one of the country's leading teams, had plenty of trouble beating the Wildcats 7-0. Coach Tex Oliver lost 11 lettermen from last season to 38 left, to work with and hopes to be even tougher than in 1936.
