New Combination of Kansas Backs May Start Game
Both Fritts and Thornbil Expected to Be Ready for Contest Thursday
Cold weather, the possibility that several men who have been injured the greater part of the season may be able to play against the Oklahoma Sooners, and a lecture by Coach Capon on the mistaken that the team made in last Saturday's contest will have a chance to win the Jayhawk football squad that may force Oklahoma to their utmost to inflict a defeat upon Kansas.
Fritts, who suffered an injury to his collarbone about two weeks ago, and Thornhill, who has nursed a corne knee since the early part of the season, both worked backfield and Shirwood was worked out at gunned in last night's practice.
Shannon and Thornill were the man who worked out the greater portion of last night's practice at the halfback positions. Thornill's bullet-like passes will undoubtedly be a valuable help to the Kannins in the run-up to Friday's game. Writes Fritz at the quarterback position and McMilion at fullback.
Davidson was holding down the center position in last night's signal drills. The remainder of the line was Myers and Shorwark, gurts, Crumen and Voigtz, tackles, and Shank and Hanser, ends.
Sleet, rain, and unusual cold weather forced Couch Capson to cut the practice period for Monday night down to one hour. All of this time was spent in signal drills. A new hope was instilled into the squad by the snappy way in which the signals were called and executed.
Kansas fans will have the opportunity to witness the Sooner football team in action on Wednesday after a victory in the stadium field. In order to avoid the possibility of sending a three-week team into the game, Conch Bone Owen and his squad will bring his team to Lawrence sometime Wednesday.
Sport Notes
After an extended discussion among a number of sport writers in the press box at the games had Saturday the general conclusion reached as to the question “What’s the Matter with Kansa?” he said. The conference held in the Kansas City Kansa, an intangible thing which he termed “sanificomicit,” or, to be more explicit, the tending of the spirit of the University toward the higher education rather than ward the wholesale development of athletic teams.
Now, mud you find is not the sale reason for the downfall of Kansas or the football field. There are any number of contributory things that have caused the school to lose out of the school, or of the coaches, in the opinion of this writer "academicista" is one big fault. But hesitate new, reader, and get this, that this column does not stand to condemn contemporary has called "academicista."
The University of Kansas is coming to occupy more or less the same position in Missouri Valley conference football. Indiana has in Big Ten football Indiana continues to turn out a squad of clean aggressive fighters from year to year but not a team that will play against two conference games in a season.
Such is the case at Kansas. The question is, will the alumni and students of the University adapt themselves to the new scheme of things or will they rise up eventually and demand a change? The students have a difficult situation by taking the consecutive defeats with a smile and a determination to end them down at Columbia on Nov. 20.
It is hard for us to see just why this tendency toward the higher things in athlete and academic environments, but nevertheless, we believe it is.
