THE DAILY NEBRASKAN KANSAS GRID MACHINE BEGINS TO TAKE FORM Preparing for Initial Tussle W 11" ' ' " on October 6. Kansas athletic officials are rapid ly rounding near a hundred gridiron prospects into shape to meet Creigh ton University at Omaha in the open ing test of the Jayhawk card October 6 Advance rumors poini lowaras a strong eleven at the blue and white institution under the tutelege of "Chet Wynne" former Notre Dame performer and all-American full back. The southern mentors an nounce that the Kansas athletes will not be in mid-season form for the initial encounter next week end fol lowing their stale finish in 1922. Kansas followers are not over es timating their prospects and con sider an upper rating high due to the scarcity of veterans in camp compared to the second year men in the other Valley schools. Although the -outlook is for mediocre ma chine, promising material may de velop before the tough contests enough to turn back strong competi tors' onslaughts. Out of the eight booked confabs, the Kansans seem to be favored with six home games and Nebraska has a slight advantage by meeting the by staters on the Lincoln sod. Among the neighboring coaching ;taff are several former Valley stars including Ted Reid, all-Valley wingster three years ago. Head Mentors Potsy Clarke and Karl Schlademan are working their prote ges overtime and expect to narrow their roster to twenty-five athletes during the next few days. Edwin Shultz, former Washington and Jef ferson tackle, and who is at present Y. M. C. A. secretary of the Univer sity is also assisting in" overturning the pebbles in the path of victory. K. U. will have one of the best toe artists in the conference in Joe Tlcasant of Burlington who played one year of freshman football at NotreDame. Pleasant is showing up well at end and bids fair to hold down the left wing and will be the first stellar drop kicker Kansas has had for several seasons. Gerald Smith former state conference mole skinner is looming bright as the best punter on the squad and has been outdistancing Captain Black in the dai'.y workouts. Al Hodges and Verne Calvert also rank high as like ly booters and with Kearney, cen tury trackster, the first Scarlet and Cream stadium opposers will be apt to find a shifty and hard plunging backfield. Among the first year piskinnprs among the varsity athletes are Hod ges, Jensen, backs; Smith and Mul lins tackles; Holpin and Teale guards; and Sanborn and Shannon centers. Several of these leather perform ers will be seen in action when the Cornhusker stadium is formally opened at Lincoln, October 20.
