Backfield Standout
With the starting backfield
plagued by injuries or illness, the
University of Kansas has prepa
rations well underway for the
encounter ' Saturday with the
University of Nebraska at Law
- rence.
Halfbacks Ray Evans and Dick
Bertuzzi and Fullback Frank
Pattee were all injured in last
week's clash with Iowa State.
Quarterback Lynn McNutt has not
been out the past couple of days
because of illness. The quartet is
due to be in play in; condition by
Saturday.
Evans, Bertuzzi and Pattee are
in the top seven of the conference
leaders in the total yards rushing
chase with teammate Bud French
in the runner-up spot with 177.
Pattee has the highest average
with about a seven yard gain
every time he has carried the
ball. French is next with a 5.4 av
erage on 33 tries and Bertuzzi
and Evans trail with five and four
yard averages respectively.
French IO.ngerous.
French was the big cog in the
Kansas grid machine last week
when he led the way to the 24
to 8 conquest of Iowa State. A
slashing back, he will have ample
opportunity to tote the leather
against the Cornhuskers.
The Jay haw k forward wall has
come in for a lot of attention the
past week with Coach George
Sauer well aware of the Husker
. aggressiveness. Tackle Junius

Hope for First
League Win
Ames, Iowa, Oct. 16. Missouri,
led by towering Jim Kekeiis, will
be seeking its second victory in
its 1946 effort to repeat for the
Big Six championship it won in
1945.
Kekeiis, whose official weight
of 284 pounds makes him one of
the biggest linemen in the game
today, has played both sides of
the line this year in his campaign
to gain All-America honors. Don
Fuurot's Tigers, behind the huge
senior, have defeated Kansas State
and St. Louis University, tied Ohio
State and bowed to the nation's
No. 3 team Texas.
Cyclones Outweglhed
For the first time this year Iowa
State will be heavily outweighed
when they invade Tiger town. As
a" team the Cyclones will give
away about 18 pounds per man,
and in the line will also give 18
pounds. The Missouri backs will
carry a 20-pound advantage.
Wendell Wilier, injured Cyclone
back, will not be available for the
Missouri game. It is possible for
Wilier to put some weight on his
injured leg but he will not be
available even for practice for

Sigma Chi Tips
Phi Kappa Psi
In IM Battle

seriously threatened Tuesday
when the Phi Kappa Psi team
put up a game fight before falling,
6-0. Phi Delta Theta won by
forfeit from Kappa Sigma, 1-0.
SAE defeated Farm House
in a closer game than indicated
by the 12-0 score. Farm House
threatened continually, but the
Sig Alphs' ace passer Saladen was
a big reason for their defeat. He
tossed to Garey and Larson for
the two touchdowns.

Wopata led the YMCA team to
a 7-9 win over Delta Sigma Pi.
The Presbyterian Student House
ran past the Ag Freshmen in a

university record of pass comple
tions, Coach Bernie Masterson
gave the Huskers a brisk pass de
fense drill Wednesday as the
Scarlet team went; into the final
stages of preparation for the Sat
urday clash with Kansas uni
versity. In Ray Evans the Jayhawks
have one of the nation's best
passers, and Evans has a goodly
number of able receivers to gather
in his tosses. Otto Schnellbacher
is already touted as one of the
top ends in Midlands, while Dave
Schmidt, all-Big Six last season
and Warren Reigle are other cap
able wingmen.

Schleiger, Fritz Mandula and
Alex Cochrane alternated at ends,
Mike DiBiase and John Sedlacek
