HARD WORK FOR JAYHAwKERs
Two Hard Games with only Five
Days Intervening.

LAWRENCE. Kas., Nov. 1A-(Specisl)-
with the Nebraska game relegated to his
tory the Jayhawkers must turn their at
tention to the two remaining games OF their
schedule. These two games, with the ext
ceptlon Of the Nebraska game, will be the
hardest on the schedule and must be
played with only five days Intervening.
Next Saturday Kennedy takes his pupils
to Iowa City to meet the Hawkeyes. This
will be the first time the two teams have
met in ten years, The followers of the
game here are highly pleased over the
prospects Of these two teams again getting
together. BY meeting Iowa, Kansas gets
a greater prestige in Missouri Valley foot
bail circles. In former years, when these
two teams met annually. the honors were
evenly divided, OF late years the Hawkeyes
have been doped as having the c~lassiest
team. Dope this year gives Kansas a
shade the best of It. However. Kennedy
will go to Iowa City more with the inten-
ton Of holding Catlin's men to a close
score than of winning the game. He will
take no chance OF disabling any of his
men for the Missouri game by playing them
to their limit against Iowa. The Kansas
school this year is blessed with a good
supply OF active reserves and these will no
doubt be given a chance TO take the bulk
OF the punishment from the Hawkeyes.
The turkey day game with Missouri will
henceforth take most of the coaches at
tention, as the enthusiasts here demand
that Missouri must be defeated.
Kennedy will use much the same style
Of attack on Iowa as he exhibited at Lin
coin. His tandem on tackle play will be
seen in action at Iowa City more than 1t
was at Lincoln. Assistant Coach Mosse has
seen Iowa in action twice this year and he
has been working out some formation
specially to unload against Iowa's lineup
and it's style of defence.
The Jayhawkers are at the apex Of ply
steal condition. The weeks rest proceed
ing the washburn game seemed to have
worked a good effect on the team, and
although the coaches have whipped them
through the hardest possible practice for
the last two weeks there are no symptoms
of staleness as is usually evident In the
squad at this time of the season.
There is stln that little delay in getting
off on the signal, indicating a lack OF
knowledge Of the numbers, another mex
cusable weakness at this time OF year.
What the team really needs in this re-
spect is a good general. johnson. who
calls the plays at quarter. lacks expert

tain Crowell has to call signal off, and
call another in It's stead. Johnson has
been making good Improvement in his
punting lately; he also handles the kicks
very we'll as safety man and has been
bringing cheers from the bleachers on his
open field return OF punts. The team as a
unit has improved greatly in the past ten
days, but yet leaves much to be desired.
The backs run low and hard and several OF
them are learning well how to use their
one arm when running with the ball.
However, In too many instances the men
forget to help the man carrying the pig
skin. The line is filling up its holes fairly
well. but it yet happens that a wiry OPP
ponent wiggles through somewhere and
blocks a play before It gets well under way.
"Tubbie" Reed. the giant guard, at times
shows form that is Irresistible, but Tub"
has to get mad before he does anything.
II ar opponent should know we'll his dis
position and keep him in a good humor,
little trouble would be caused from his
berth.
