Bowling May Become A Big 8 Sport
Chances are quite good that this school year will see a new all-conference sport rise in the Big Eight. According to B. C. Fearing, manager of the Jay Bowl in the Student Union, it is possible that plans will be completed for a Big Eight bowling tournament before the year is over.
Bowling committees are corresponding with other schools in the Big Eight in an effort to establish a Big Eight telegraphic tournament as well as separate telegraphic matches with different schools. A telegraphic match consists of the two different teams or all conference teams, conducting their games on their home alleys, then sending their scores to a central point where the scores would be judged and the winners announced.
Fearing has already been approached by a representative of the North Dakota Agricultural College, Fargo, North Dakota, who would like to schedule a telegraphic meet with the University.
There is also a good chance that some home and home matches will be scheduled this year.
Probably the best chance for a home and home match would be with Kansas State. Home and home matches are limited because no funds are authorized to handle expenses. The secretary of the men's bowling committee, Wade Lambel has written all Big Eight schools and Fearing anticipates several matches, both telegraphic and home and home.
Iowa State Tons
If Big Eight bowling does become alive on a competitive scale, KU's basketball nemesis, Iowa State, might also prove a pain in the neck on the alleys. Since Fearing ranks Iowa State and Colorado as the two top powers in Big Eight bowling circles.
KU bowlers already have an opportunity to enter national competition in the Student Union's National Intercollegiate matches held annually. This is open to all men students and held each year in the spring Women can enter the Pennsylvania State College tournament which is held quarterly and also on a national, scale. Both of these contests are telegramhite.
Fearing said that interest in bowling is running high at KU. He says his only trouble is trying to find enough pinboys to handle the lanes, especially during the 12 noon to 3:30 p.m. period.
Any student who is interested in entering any competition is welcome to try out.
Frosh Fall In 1st Women's Game
Jan Rogers, Lois Dubach, and Judy Morgan led the Kappa KappaGamma socrity team to a 51-44 victory over the Corbin-North College team Wednesday night. The game was close all the way until Kappa pulled away in the last minute of play.
In the only other game played Delta Delta Delta sorority defeated the Gertrude Sellards Pearson freshman women's team No.1. 51-44
The Kansas football team lucked out in its first game of the season. The Jayhawkers played a fair football game in the second half against TCU and tied-with a little more luck they could have won. They came close.
But luck was spread pretty even Saturday in Memorial Stadium when a team that had been hailed the week previously as one reminiscent of post-war days was quite humiliatingly ground into the ground. There is consolation, however, in the fact that many think Oregon State should be rated No. 1.
But time is fast running out—the Big Eight season opens in Boulder Saturday and the University of Kansas will be represented by a team that is not up to par personnel-wise. As many as five regulars may not see action in the game that Colorado is favored to win by eight points.
If the game in Boulder Saturday follows form it will be a high scoring affair. Only twice has the final score amounted to less than three touchdowns. Colorado won, 13-12 in 1949 and 12-0 in 1955.
Kansas opened the Colorado series with a 40-7 victory over the Buffs in 1948, lost in 1949 and came from 21 points behind to win 27-21 in 1950.
In 1951 Colorado won a 35-27 victory but in 1952 Kansas took a 21-21 victory over the Buff squad that had earlier tied Oklahoma, 21-21. It was Jules Sikes' last victory at Kansas.
Colorado's main assets this year are a fleet backfield and a deceiving multiple offense. The Buffs come out of the huddle in the T behind an unbalanced line but usually shift to one of many variations of the T and single wing. This puts great pressure on the defense.
A victory over Colorado would mean Kansas could be given an edge over Kansas State, Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri in conferrence play.
In games this weekend we'll take Notre Dame over Indiana, the Big Ten's doormat, Michigan over Georgia, Nebraska over Kansas State (maybe a tie), Oregon State over Northwestern and Pittsburgh over USC.
New York's spunky little southpaw, Whitey Ford, seems to be well on his way toward becoming the most successful world series pitcher of all time.
Thanks to Casey Stengel's pennant winning traits and Ford's performances under pressure in the big games, the light haired problem boy of the Yankees, who Wednesday defeated Warren Spahn and the Braves 3-1 to win his fifth world series game, is only two victories behind ex-Yanks Ed Ruffing and Allie Reynolds.
Officials are needed for intramural football games. They will be paid $1 a game, Walter J. Mikols, director of the men's intramural program, said today.

Kraus' Play Saturday One Of Bright Spots
Anyone interested should see Mik-ols in 107 Robinson as soon as possible. Students, to be eligible, do not have to be enrolled in an officiating class.
Emerging from KU's setback by Oregon State, Saturday, was the sparkling performance of Co-captain Bob Kraus.
"Bob played a fine game both on offense and defense and proved to be one of the best blocking guards in the conference," Chuck Mather said after the game. "He is a steady ball player and should be considered for all-conference honors this year."
Kraus, from Massillon, Ohio, where he played high school football under Mather, believes that next week Colorado will face a much improved KU team.
"The Oregon State game will be a big help in our efforts against Colorado and Iowa State, the other two teams we meet this year that work from the single-wing." Kraus said. "We undercrated the Oregon State boys and are capable of playing much better ball than was demonstrated against the Beavers."
Kraus proved his defensive ability Saturday by intercepting two Oregon State passes while his offensive blocking led the KU team on the ground. He believes that the Jayhawkers are in the best condition they've been in all year. "We definitely believe that we can
"We definitely believe that we can
and will beat Colorado this week," he said.
Kraus said the squad just let down last week, and should play much better football in the remaining games.
"We know we can play much better ball than was shown Saturday and now we're just mad enough that we might surprise a few 'teams," Kraus said.
Skowron Re-injures Back
NEW YORK — (UP) — Bill Skowron, slugging first baseman of the Yankees, re-injured his back while running out a ground ball during Wednesday's first game of the World Series and probably will be forced to sit out the rest of the series.
