UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SOONER CHANCES AWFULLY SLIM Only Two Men on Owen's Squad Are Experienced—Rest Are New LINE UNABLE TO HOLD And Punting Department Is Unusually Weak-Can't Find a Kicker Norman, Okla., Nov. 3: —(Special.) —Oklahoma and Kansas are to struggle over the pigskin again Saturday. The Sooners are busily engaged in training the line to better defensive work. Missouri, with a line practically composed of letter men, succeeded Oklahoma in winning nine line plunges and in holding the ball through nine-tenths of the game against the raw material with which Bennie Owen has worked all year. In the defeat, 23 to 14 against Oklahoma, the Sooners held the ball but five times; they yet succeeded in re-engaging the opposing team. It comes the conclusion that Oklahoma's backfield is workable and efficient. The three defeats receive this season have beaten and rounded the backfield into a team by itself. Captained by little grain Johnson at quarter, Briscoe and McDermott at the half positions, and Von Tungeln at full, this section of the team may be expected to take care of itself if guarded properly. Joe Hawks will possibly come numerous victory if they are able to hold the ball and keep the Sooners on the defensive throughout the game. Practice this week has shown man after man running at various line places. Brewer sticks at center, McGoulthin and Tyler at guards, and McCain at right end. Tolbert is sure of a booth at tackle, but the remainder have been shifted between a quota of 10 or 12 substitutes. The game at Kansas will only continue to toughen up and materialize the new men on the Oklahoma team and make them a more formidable aggregation than before the encounter. This is shown by the skill of the team in knocking down two balls between all of the big games played thus far. Of course, such practice will help any line to a greater plane of efficiency, but where the Sooners have been beaten is in their own style of the game-forward passing. Another weakness is in punting ability, which makes the game more difficult. Tobert and Fat Johnson spend little time every day in warming the ball with the end of their tees.

In addition ten of them were former members of K. U. athletic teams. Captain F. E. Jones expressed the thanks of the company for the welcome offered the students on their return from college and that there was not a member of the company who was not glad to return to the University. His description of the sanitary measures taken in the Texas campus especially interest-students. Milton Baker, a private in Company M, was given a hearty reception when he arose to speak. He told of numerous incidents on the trip and that he sold the soldiers learned. He affirmed the statement of Colonel Metcalf that Company M had the trained men by stating that the company soon became aware of the fact when everyone in command called upon them to do something. Twenty-six members of Company M had enrolled in the University this morning. The men have been entering, a few each day, all week, and Registrar George O. Foster expects the majority of the members of the company to resume their work in the school. No special arrangements have been made for giving the men credit for the eight weeks of work which prepares them for the service, credited according to the standing they have for previous work, and the grades they make in their subjects during the remainder of the work missed will be made up.

KANSAS CHANCES BRIGHT Cross-Country Team Is In Prime Condition Condition The chances for Kansas to beat the Sooners in the cross country run before the K. U.-Oklahoma game looked like a rounding into his usual form and Groene almost recovered from his injured foot. If Groene is not able to run Rowland will probably be used, as has been doing consistent work well. In spite of this good news the team expects a hard fight from the Oklahomans because they have a more experienced team than Kansas. They have met the University of Texas and the Oklahoma A. and M. this fall, while Kansas has met only one team and that a weak one. The runners will start from the 50- yard line on McCook Field at 2:10 p.m. The same course will be used that was run last week. The team was running and has been doing the five miles in 29 and 30 minutes the past week. Send the Daily Kansan home.
