SEPTEMBER 16, 1937 Varsity Starts Drill On Blocking H a l l Receives Injured Hand; Freshman Squad O h o l d's Initial Practice Yesterday Variety football practice advanced yesterday to the stage of contact work, with the linemen and backs going through an intensive blocking drill. The linemen were乏能 block "live" blocking, while the backfield candidates used a blocking dummy for operation. The first injury of the present season occurred Tuesday afternoon when Jack Hall, center candidate, received either a broken or a badly sprained hand. An X-ray photograph was taken but as yet it has not been determined whether any bones were broken. JACK HALL up at the practice field and proceed to take the guards in hand and show them the tricks of the big Six guard used in all bring Big Six guard. Scrimimage will start next Wednesday, according to a tentative announcement by head Coach "Ad" Lindsey. Until then practice will consist of drill on fundamentals, blocking, tackling, passing, and Yesterday Dick Sklar, visiting in Lawrence, showed 90 is expected. Down on the freshman practice field, 76 frenemies, appearing to be the most prominent crop of yearlings in years, reported to Head Coach R. L. Cenger yesterday afternoon for their first organized practice. There are EMIL MINGCAGE are still several men to report today and a squad of almost 90 is expected. Conger, former Smith Center High coach, is being assisted by tices in which to prepare their men for the varsity game and they are anxious to get all their charges in shape as rapidly as possible. Mano Stuckey, ex- Jayhawk back; Joe Giannangoelo, from last year's team; and Dean Nesmith, who will assist with the freshmen along with his duties as coach. These four men will have only eight more prae- One thing which looked encouraging was the number of 200-pounders who checked out equipment. Perhaps the two heaviest were Martin and Merkel, tackles from Chicago, who balance the scales at 240 and 237 respectively. All of the men expected previously are in school according to Conger in addition to several huskies who changed to Kans from some other school at the last minute. Along the Sideline Along the Sideline By William Fitzgerald, Kansan Sports Editor One rabbi Kansas fan remarked yesterday afternoon that he was going to dash up town, close up his shop, and get back to football because he "hadn't seen anything like this in years." He was referring to this year's crop of freshmen, many of whom resemble small blumps about to swing into action. As Ad Lindsey remarked hopefully, "They can't all be ducks. Some of them are bound to do us some good." And there's one thing sure about this new bunch of huskies—they not only look big, but most of them at least look like they know a football from a grapefruit. Ad Lindsay amules when he thinks of the coaching help he is getting this year. In the past when Ad was wanted elsewhere practice was practically ruined. Now he has Pressnell working on the backs, Getto with the line, and Hargiss instructing the ends. The coaches are all driving hard and appear to be getting some results. Another improvement in the Kansas system which we like is the policy of helping the men finish school after their football competition is completed. Too often a school will forget a player who finishes his usefulness and still has some work left on his degree. Not only does it help the former players, but it is also a real help to the squad to have the instruction of former stars who know their football. Shavings: Dek Sklar, former all-Big Six guard, is in town and was working with the linemen yesterday afternoon . . . Iowa State is plugging a 200-pound guard, Ed Bock. Bock was rated on all-star selections last year as a sophomore and this year is expected to do the Cyclone punting along with his other duties. Iowa State fans are expecting Bock to make All-America mention this year . . . A written paper is curved around line faces lines of "I'll Beat Kansas University". The Shoer fans seem to be quite worked up about the possibilities. Tsk. Tsk. They should be watching out for high blood pressure . . . Danny Partner, chief of all Jayhawk haters, is still doing his raving for the Manhattan Mercury. Maybe it's partner's red hair that keeps him on edge. Jawhaker Jolts=Lloyd Huff, 5 foot, 8 inch sophomore guard, is the heaviest man on the squad. He tips the beam at 210 pounds and that's a good-sized tip . . . Pierre Louis Stephenson, who has returned to school after playing on the freshman team in 1934, is the heaviest back with a displacement of some 200 pounds . . . Jack Hall has tried Glen Oatman, graduate from the University last year and Missouri amateur golf champion, was defeated 10 and 9, in the scheduled 36-hole finals of the tri-state golf championship in Wichita yesterday.
