NEBRASKA STILL IS
FAV0RITE IN VALLEY
Kansas University and Kansas
Aggies Picked for Second
and Third Places.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, NOV. S.-En-
tering upon the last lap of the Mis-
sour Valley conference championship
contest with the wire at THANKSGIVING
I'm sight, the representatives of the
valley schools have changed places in
the averages. Ames, after a flash OF
what seems to be possible champion
ship form in their first conference
game against Missouri, lost their
chance in the race and gave their
place TO the Kansas Jayhawkers, when
the latter team defeated them by n Z
To count at Lawrence.
Tho defeat, however, was largely n
turn of luck, for the Kansans score
came in the fourth quarter after the
two eleVons had battled consistently
at 0 to 0 tie with the ball In the
Kansas territory during the greater
part of the first three periods. A see
ond game might possibly bring dlr-
ferent score. but, regardless of pre-
dtctionS and postmortems upon the
part of the valley followers, the Jay
hawkcrs jumped into place of prom
lnence next 10 their fellow citizens, the
Kansas Aggies, at the top of the CON
ference averages.
The Kansas team was able to score
by means OF n long forward pass Mel
sen to Iindsborg, thus breaking up
the valley hopes of the Iowa aggre-
cation unless there should be a further
upset In the valley averages by the
games In November.
Despite the 20 to defeat by Michi-
gan, the Nebraska eleven stands the
choice of the sport critics of the con-
ference for the valley title. The bet
ter Michigan team gave the Cornhusk-
ers stage fright by scoring in the first
period. However. unless the Cornhusk-
ers are badly battered they will be in
fighting trim for Missouri at their
Lincoln meeting next Saturday. and
the possibilities are. according to the
followers of the gridiron sport In the
conference. that the Mssourians will

JAYHAWKERS AFRAID
OF OKLAHOMA PASSES
Poor Aerial Defense Greatest
Weakness in Kansas; Four
Veterans on Team.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. S.-Four
letter men are included on the team
which the University of Kansas will
send to Norman Saturday for the an
nual Jayhawker-Soon clash on Boyd
field. II will be n hard-fighting, heavy
team which will average more than
170 pounds in the line and 163 for the
backfield.
Coach Beau Olcott has been called
for military service and has departed
for the Great Lakes naval training sta
ton, leaving the team in charge of
the assistant coaches, but the style
of play. both on offensive and defen-
sive, was developed so we'll before his
departure that it is believed the
change will have no effect on the pos
sibilities OF a victory over the Sooners
this year,
The only apparent weakness of the
Kansas eleven lies In the defense
against the aerial style of football
which the Sooners are sure to dis
play. Kansas made little headway in
breaking up the forward passes of the
Kansas Aggies last saturday. Since
the Sooners are masters of this brand
of football, coaches are somewhat wor-
ried.
The letter men on the team include
,NHlIlll SMtut ANtttSoii,
fuliback, who scored the touchdown
last year which defeated Nebraska;
Tom Pringle, one OF the hardest
phnging halfbacks In the Missouri
valley; stem Foster, heady quarter
back. who has been doing the punting
for the team. and Jack Frost. beefy
tackle, who has been a power in the
line.
one OF the Kansas stars also is Frank
Vaudeville, an Oklahoma youth, who
is considered the best open field run
nor on the team. He plays halfback
He did not join the squad until after
the Illinois game, but since then has
been exhibiting spectacular football.
The lineup against the Sooners
probably will he Laslett. left end; Net
tells. left tackle; Jones. left guard;
Hun. center; Dennis. right guard;
Frost. right tackle; Lonborg, right
end: Foster, quarterback: Pringle left

Tays, Gale and Coyle Will Not
Be Allowed to Play in
Saturday Game.
INELIGIBLE GRADES REASON
Faculty of School Insists on
High Standing in Studies
by Players.

Calamity hit the Kendall football
squad yesterday on the eve Of the
biggest at-home game of the season
to date when the faculty announced
that Gale, Tays and Coyle would not
be permitted to play on account of
the grades made in their studies. In
addition. Springer, the sensational
halfhack of the team, was unable to
be out for practice. being confined to
his room with an attack Of fever. Hope
was held out by the fans that he would
recuperate enough TO get into the
game Saturday against the Denver
team.
While 1t was doubtful whether Gale
would be able to participate saturday,
owing to injury received I'm the last
game. the Jerking Of Tays from the
wing position was considered a blow
at the eleventh hour. McBirncy and
Mefford have been running him at
the left wing position for two weeks
and his absence from the lineup nee
ossitated the taking of ArbuclSle, who
was depended upon for backfield
man. and putting him at end.
I'VE were sorry to see Tays taken
out at this time" said the coaches,
especially on the eve or tnc game,
Tays has been warned repeatedly that
he must keep up his standing I'm
classes and II is pity that young
man with his ability has 80 neglected
his studies as to cause him to get cam
cclled from the team. He is popular
with the boys and has a splendid op-
portunity TO get an education and be
leader in athletics besides. but he
has shown a marked indifference ever
since starting and the faculty should
not he censured for prohibiting him to
enter the game Saturday"
Since being injured Gale has been
unable to attend many of his classes
and this IL responsible for his low
grades Gale is one of the most con-
sistent trainers on the team and is
the kind of a football player that also
stars in the classroom as we'll as on
the grdiron. The fans are sure that
he will soon make up his deficit in
grades no wthat he is able to attend
classes regularly.
In the meantime the coaches made
the best Of matters yesterday after
noon by running the team I'm hard
signal practice until darkness prevent
ed further practice, Irwin was also
tried at the end position left vacant
10y Tays. II is thot that he will make
a classy man for Kendall next year
and IL Is probable that he will be sent
into the game saturday.

TANNING MAY GET TO
/ TANGLE WITH DUNDEE
Jimmy Bronson Trying to Get
Johnny in Joplin for the =
Oklahoma Flash.

JOPLIN, MO-, Nov. S.-Natch.
maker Jimmie Bronson of the South-
west Athletic club is nothing IL he is
| not ambitious. His latest efforts arc
directed at matching Arlos Tanning,
conqueror OF Ever Hammer and
Johnny Cashill, before Joplin audi
ences, with Johnny Dundee, one of the
most spectacular lightweighty in the
ring today. There isn't anything GER
tain about the match vet. except that
Tanning Is willing to box Dundee.
Dundee's record is longer than the
cars pedigree and 1t is as good as 1t
is long. He has beaten the list from
Tommy Dixon to Ever Hammer. His
wins include bouts with Kilbane, Jack
White, Dixon, Joe Shugrue, Johnny
Gallant, Grover Hays. Joe Azevedo,
Joe Rivers, Matt Wells, Stanley Yoa-
KUN, Eddie Wallace. Johnny O'Leary
and Hammer, and he has boxed no.
lightweight worthy of mention from
Benny Leonard down.
Dundee has met Leonard four
times. his first bout with the pres
ent champion being March 9. 1914
None of the bouts between leonard
and Dundee have been decision af-
fairs. Three of them were for 10
ROUNDS eAcn ana one was Tor six
frames All Of his bouts with Leonard
were fought in New York with the ex-
ceptton of the last one, which was
held in Philadelphia. Leonard has
been accused of lodging Dundee since
attaining the lightweight crown. and
m2ybe he has and maybe ne hasn't
hut If Tanning beats Dundee. Leonard
VIII have to do regular dodsing to
avoid a match with the Oklahoma
boy.
Should Bronson be able to corral
Dundee for this match. Joplin fans
would be able to witness one Of tho
classiest matches ever staged In this
country. Tanning fights much like
Dundee does. Such a battle should
draw fight fans from all parts of the
country and that 1t will be attended
by virtually every fan in the district
goes without saying.
Tanning Is keeping In condition and
says that While he Is not as certain of
whipping the "Wop" as he was OF
eliminating Cashill, he feels that he
will give a good enough account Of
himself to satisfy his friends
Dundee will be 25 years old Novem-
her "a. He was born In Italy and his
real name Is Joseph -arrora. Fight
ing critics wherever he has boxed
label him the "fightin'est Wop' that
ever put on four-ounoe glove.

left half Tommie Graham at right
half and Bechtold at fullback. Both
Graham and Boyle showed up well at
Missouri and Bechtold played a spec
tacular game, especially on defensive.
Douglas, center, also probably will
be out of the game Saturday, but
John Cary is filling the position sat
isfactorily With McGlothln and
Brown on either side to face the Jay
hawkers, and Light and Deacon at
tackles, owen has few worries over
the showing the line will make. Ross
Johnston and Durant are fixtures at
ends, with Haskell and Luster in re-
serve. Shaw is always ready to go in
at halfback and Luster can be used
at quarter.
Coach Owen says Kansas has the
strongest eleven he has ever seen rep
resent the school, and Bennie has been
watching the Jayhawker elevens ever
since he played there In 1899 and
1900. His own team has opposed the
Jayhawkers IA times.
