Mi laska SMy'llM.MInf mm Jayhawks wave long injury list before Huskers From KU News Bureau. LAWRENCE, Kas., Oct. 17. An injury list that is growing steadily la one of Coach Gwinn Henry's biggest worries as he gets his University of Kansas football team realy for its game with with Nebras ka's Cornhusk ers, Saturday. Seven Jay- hawkers were unable to play against Drake due to injuries and even more may be on the sidelines Satur d a y. Ralph Schaake, 6 foot inch end, who has been out with a shoulder injury, may be able to play against Nebraska, but there is no assurance of this. Hagen sprains ankle. On the other hand, Bob Hagen, sophomore blocking back, suf fered a severely sprained ankle In last week's game and his playing Saturday is doubtful. Bob O'Neil. sophomore end who played almost half against Drake, is the vic tim of a case of poison ivy, to add to Coach Henry's troubles. Already on the hospital list, in addition to Schaake, were John Burge, two year letterman end; Larry Finney, husky sophomore center; Harlan Altman, sophomore passing star; Steve Meade, 236 pound tackle; Floyd Conway, sophomore end; and Tony James, 247 pound tackle. Jayhawks try passes. Consequently the Jayhawk practice ses sion this week probably will be limited to light workouts in an effort to prevent any further Injuries. The Kansas passing attack will be given -considerable at tention for one thin?. l0SiAGGji p r o v I d i ng that they have 11 able-bodied players left at game time, the Jay hp.wkers hope to be able to make the contest another hard fought one. Kansas improving. After disappointing the fans by losing the season opener to Iowa State, the Crimson and Blue eleven showed improvement in downing Drake 20-6. In the latter game, Henry's team appeared capable of playing some fine ball Tne Kansas punting nas not been very impressive to date, but should get better as the season progresses. Handling tne kicking duties have been Ed Suagee, chunky fullback, and Don Pollom, sophomore right halfback. Suagee, an Indian boy rrom Bartlesville, Okla., has been doing a fine job of backing the line. De spite the fact th.it he did not play much the past two years, he is performing like a real veteran Barb I-M football gets into full sway Barbs ruled intramural football games Wednesday afternoon with four games to their credit, none for the fraternities. Davis Hall, a league 3 team, won by the largest margin over Eta Beta Pi 19-0. Landgren's long passes were out standing for the winners. Casino Club rolled past Buck ingham Hornets 19-6 to win their league 2 fame. Armstrong and Thompson played good games for the former while Bird flashed down the field and caught a long pass to score the loser's touch down. Cornhusker Coop barely got by a stubborn Agriculture College Cafeteria team 7-6. The last game in league 2 was between Dark Horse and Corn sheller with the former winning by a score of 12-0. In this case it was C. Heming and Soukoup who were standouts. There will be games In both fraternity and barb leagues this afternoon. They are as fol lows: FEATERNITT SCHEDt'I.E. )tl 4.

Graduate club names Taylor new president A quiz section and an intellig ence test furnished entertainment for the first meeting of the Gradu- Frosli footballers spending time in drills vs. varsity Frosh footballers are spending their time this week in drill against the varsity and a mix with the scout club on Friday. Polish ing up on their blocking and of fensive play will be the headliner for Thursday. In their tussle with the scout club last Friday the frosh showed a glaring weakness in offensive manuvers due mainly to lack of blocking finesse. Down field block ing was ragged and as a result they were unable to put across any touchdowns. The scout club won the game by a one touch down margin, but acocrding to the enthusiasm shown by the first year men this Friday's game will be much different then the one of last week. . The first frosh team is still be ing juggled about in an effort to find the strongest combination. Studies have been bothering some as have slight injuries. But the squad is rapidly coming around and before long will be fairly well settled, with all members indicat ing their desire to play given plenty of participation. ate club at the home of Dean and Mrs. F.
