C. E. McBride of the Kansas
City Star relates a rather amusing
incident concerning the play on
which Paul Christman was
knocked cold in the Orange Bowl
game "against Georgia Tech.
Bill Alexander, evidently won
dering how tough Paul was, told
'Bubber" Quigg, a sub guard, to
go in there and give Christman a
"good, healthy tackle." Not a
dirty tackle, mind you, but just a
good, lively one.
Quigg went in, and if you saw
(as you probably didn't) or list
ened to the game, you'll remember
the play on which Christman was
stretched flat oh the ground.
Quigg hit Christman, then stood
up and surveyed his prone rival.
He then turned to the Tech bench,
caught t?ie eye of coach Alexander,
dramatically stretched out his arm,
pointing to his "kill."
Outstanding "play" of the East
West game, we hear was a play
never before used on a. football
field. In the middle of the fourth
quarter, the East came out of their
huddle, lined .up, called signals,
and charging across the line of
scrimmage came all four.backs
blocking.
The West team was dumb
founded, but the Easterners were
even more so, because the ball
rolled and rolled until a Westerner,
Lee Artoe, recovered it behind the
East's goal line for a touchdown.
But one of the East boys said, "It
was potentially a great play. Look
at the surprise clement."

Brownemen turn to work
for Kansas State contest
Friday night at
Nebraska's Cornhuskers, with
their Big Six average standing at
an even .500 after a 46-33 defeat
at the hands of Missouri's Tigers,
got down to work again yesterday
afternoon in preparation for their
game against Kansas State at
Manhattan Friday night.
Coach W. H. Browne empha
sized passing for floor work in
yesterday's drill, as the Huskers
set their sights for the last place
Wildcats who surprised the con
ference in general- as they held
Kansas to a 34-33 win last Friday
night Oklahoma had previously
walloped the K-Staters, to give
the Manhattan team a mark of
two losses and no wins.
Browne has his worries, as the
as the Huskers' star guard Don
Fitz, played only the first twelve
minutes against Missouri because
of a knee injury. Bob Therien was
ill, and did not see much action,
although he should be in shape
against Kansas State.
Bad half.
It was one bad half which beat
the Huskers again, as they sank
only four of thirty six shots in the
first period, and trailed 26-9 as
a result, at intermission. The
Huskers made only three free
throws, but they missed only four
as the Tigers made but seven
fouls. Nebraska declined a free
throw late in the game.
BIG SIX STANDINGS.

The Kansas State team is
coached by 29-year old Jack
Gardner, who coached at Modesto,
California, junior college for four
years before coming to K-State.
He conducted two athletic clinics
in Japan at the request of that
company s federation.
Gardner, in half a season at
Kansas State, has gone over in a
big way with the team and Kansas
State fans, and the Oklahoma
game was delayed for several
minutes by a standing ovation
given to Gardner.
Broke even.
Nebraska beat Kansas State at
Lincoln last year after losing to
the Wildcats at Manhattan, and
the game looks like a tossup based
on the records of the two teams
this year.
The Huskers loss Saturday
night gave them a record of five
wins and five defeats for the sea
son. The Wildcats have broken
even in eight of conference games,
beating Baker University, Doane
Colorado State and Creighton,
while losing to Colorado State,
Evansville College Kentucky and
DePaul University. When their
two conference losses are added,
it gives them a season's record
of four wins and six defeats.
The Wildcats have come along
fast even through Ernie Miller,
who scored 34 points in the first
four games, received a broken
jaw in the Kentucky game, and
is out for the season. Melvln
Seelye and Chri3 Langvardt, both
football players, have been taking
care of his position, and turning
in good performances, though.
Other starters.
Other men usually in the Wild
cats starting lineup are Joe
Robertson and Dan Howe, for
wards; Ervin Reld, the team's
high scorer, at center, and D. S.
Guerrant, guard.
Oklahoma, tied with the Huskers
for third and fourth place in the
league at present, bowed to Hank
Iba's strong Oklahoma Aggies,
26-19, in the Sooner state's classic.
Kansas with two wins, and
Missouri with one are tied for the
Manhattan
conference lead at present, but
Thursday night the Jayhawks
travel to Columbia where they
will attempt to give the Tigers
their first defeat in ten home
games. The Jayhawks can estab
lish themselves as Big Six favo
rites should they win, but a Mis
souri win would leave the Tigers
in indisputed control of first
place at least temporarily, pro
vided they got by Iowa State at
Ames last night.
The other games on the con
ference slate has Iowa State at
Norman against the Sooners,
with the Oklahoma team in the
favorite's position.
Sooner football
team loses stars
but still strong
NORMAN, Okla. Although
Nebraska, with nearly all her
great 1939 team returning, is an
overwhelming favorite to win the
Big Six conference football cham
pionship this fall, a favorable con
ference home schedule still leaves
veteran-stripped Oklahoma an
outside chance.
Coach Tom Stidham's Sooners
meet Nebraska, the favorite; Mis
souri, the present champion; and
the dangerous Kansas State team
at Norman. Moreover each of
these important Big Six games
is spaced two weeks apart. Last
fall the Sooners wound up their
schedule by engaging . highly
keyed Kansas State, Missouri and
Nebraska teams abroad on con
secutive Saturdays, barely defeat
ing Kansas State 13-10 and los
ing to Mizzou 6-7 and Nebraska
7-13.
With spring football practice
starting approximately March 1,
Coach Tom Stidham's next job is
to find a backfield coach to re
place competent little Dewey
"Shorter" Luster, who announced
this week that he was resigning
