DDDOD QQQO DDDDD DDDD. D HH r mniiD D D D D u due eh (EHUD D D ±h 1948 Betty Jacobs Editor-in-Chief Dean Campbell Business Manager UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT A former bronco-buster from Idaho, Dr. W. M. Jardine is beginning his fifteenth year as president of the University. Dr. Jardine remembers saving the $30 per month he received for punching cattle in order to go to college. Nobody told me I ought to do it, he said. I just decided I should. When he was 20. Dr. Jardine left Idaho for Utah State University at Logan, Utah, where he donned a jersey and went out for football. Since 1906 he has held the positions of assistant United States cerealist in charge of dry grain investi- gations, president of Kansas State College. United States Secretary of Agriculture, minister to Egypt, and Kansas state treasurer. In 1934. Dr. Jardine accepted the presidency of the University of Wichita, intending to stav for two years only. Of his job he says. I believe that the last 1-1 years have been the most interesting I ' ve spent because I enjoy working with young people. ■«£  .

Hekhuis. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Sciences, that it ' s all according to the books. Ever- busy and quick-spoken, he sometimes startles hesitant freshmen by his decisive manner. Off campus, the Dean teaches Sunday School, serves as commissioner of the Quivira Council of Boy Scouts, and is a member of the Wichita Community Chest Budget Committee. In his spare time, he putters with mechanics and plays golf. An avid reader, he reads at least two hooks and a dozen periodicals monthly. Grace Wilkie My office never lacks excitement, says Grace ilkie. Dean of Women and head of the home economics depart- ment. One person coming into my office may want a part-time job and the next visitor will want a baby-sitter. In spite of her heavy administrative load, she still finds time for her hobbies, collecting pictorial maps which she started when a hand-drawn map made in 1694 was given her. and her collection of outstanding women ' s biographies. Dean Vi ilkie. who seemingly works endlessly without tiring, divulges her secret with the words. I thoroughl) enjoy my work so much that it simply ceases to be work. i:i FKANK A. NEFF Formerly an amateur bicycle racer with several firsts to his credit. Frank A. Neff, Dean of the College of Business Administration, is now a vegetable grower and has a fondness for golf. He shot in the 70 ' s at one time, but as he puts it, You have to keep at that sport. Veteran students ' squeeze the orange dry, ' says Neff. Hence instructors have to keep on their toes to satisfy such mature students. The biographical sketches in his book. Econo mic Doctrines. are examples of his belief that biography is a part of education. ' rm -!--- w- LESLIE B. SIPPLE Few people today would think of doing janitor work and teaching school at the same time, but Leslie B. Sipple. Dean of the College of Education, became well acquainted with brooms and dust mops during his first teaching job in a rural Nebraska community. For instruction on the elementary level, janitor work and high school instruction those who desired it. Dean Sipple was paid $65 a month. Because of the demand for high school instruction, he held classes before regular school, during his noon hour and after school. My greatest thrill is seeing graduates take positions of responsibility in schools of the state. declared the head of the Placement Bureau. THURLOW W. LIEURANCE Musical compositions of Thurlow W. Lieurance. Dean Emeritus of the College of Fine Arts, are steeped in backgrounds of the worlds oldest masters of music, that of the American Indian. His exhaustive study of Indian musical customs and culture formed the basis for his By r the Waters of Minnetonka and other compositions. But long before he won fame, Lieurance s love of music carried him to France for extensive study at the Ecoles D ' Art Ameri- caines. As a result, in his music can be found truly American forms of counterpart and rhythm combined with European composition techniques. 14 Worth A.

ENROLLMENT 17 REMEMBER... lasl September when eager and alert bookstore employees assisted equally eager and alert students who submitted to an orgy of psychological, vocational and put-the-square-peg-in- the-round-hole tests at the guidance center. Dean ilkie skeptically eyes sorority presidents as they eagerly expound proposals to spike rushees with 3.2 at rush week teas. But those less concerned with vital problems attended the W ebster Montemarte, a la France. 18 FOOTBALL... came along and Gammas chose Charlene Parrott as Betty Coed who showed her appre- ciation by marrying Galen Christian. Everyone attended team send-offs And for photographers, even the cheerleaders turned out But biggest turn-out of all was Homecoming walk-out. 19 Jenny Reid and Dean Skaggs do a turn-about for the Montemarte Questions of eligibility plague fall Council elec- tions, and amid heated dis- cussions, Geist counts slowlv to 100 as Ostertag prepares to take a powder Almost any afternoon, you could find a crowd of jive enthusiasts watching Harold Carey beat out the boogie Pi Kap celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday by honoring Dr. Hazel Branch who began her twenty-sixth year as sponsor Kitty Ann Curry and Peggy Dull sit on the library steps discussing pros and cons of the new look Still working on the Council dispute, Bob Partridge points out an error in par- liamentary procedure 20 A : 872 freshmen. 947 sophomores. 394 juniors, and 385 graduating seniors made the 1948 enrollment figure of 3032 largest in the school ' s history.

G. Stuckwisch Aileen Skaer Rosaliml Fhrsam Howard Halgedah CO IFF 61 H. F. ' s SON by William Fein Ever since Havermeyer Fink defeated the Greek organizations at the battle of Sorority Row they have been forced to go underground. Seniors still remember and sing the praises of Havermeyer Fink, acknowledged leader of the unaffiliates, for single- handed he strangled three sorority pledges with their own ribbons. I arrived at the University of Wichita with the intention of joining a fraternity. For after all. becoming a pledge was a prerequisite for my major . . . women! To my horror I found that frats were banned and their members scattered to the four corners of the Commons. But I had not counted on their courage and ingenuity. Fraternity actives are made of stern stuff, among other things, and they had started pledging in secret. I was in the Commons drinking a bowl of borcht. which had replaced coffee as the working man ' s beverage, when I was rudely slapped in the face with a boiled potato. Throwing caution to the winds, I retrieved the vegetable and found the following inscription engraved on an eye: MEN ' S ROOM . . . AD BUILDING ... 8 p.m. TONIGHT . . . SERUTAN. At last my big moment had arrived. The leaders had 62 singled me out of the masses and were willing to risk their lives to gain a pledge. I was elated and fast becoming drunk with the power soon to be mine. At 7:45 p.m., I slipped past the sentry unseen. and proceeded to the second floor of Ad Building. Making my way through the dark interior. I approached a door on which was written, in large letters. MEN. ' This is it, ' I said to myself. Taking a deep breath I called out. Serutan, and imme- diately back came the countersign. Natures! A button hook reached through the keyhole, fastened under my upper lip. and with a quick jerk. I found myself swimming in the wash bowl. What the hell! I thought to myself. But before 1 had a c hance to speak. 300 men had lined up and were passionately kissing me on both cheeks. Welcome to our modest recreation hall. said a little fellow who was wearing a raccoon coat and a hat made of discarded grapefruit rinds. My name is Cadavor Smoehoffer. president of the Wichita Federation of Underprivileged Fraternities . . . our new title. ' The room was suddenly aglow with the light of 300 cigarettes. We can ' t make noise, he said, so we acknowledge one another by puffing on a fag. Clever? ' He slapped me on the back, at the same time picking ray pockets. Now look kid, you don ' t have to join. We ain I forcing no one. ' ' I looked up and saw a body hang- ing from the ceiling. A note pinned to the corpse read HE REFUSED! DON ' T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. I shuddered. A cry was heard in the corner. We all turned to see an active who had broken down under the strain. He was shouting, Hauptmann is innocent. I am the Lindbergh baby! Smoehoffer walked over to him, patted the unfortunate victim on the shoulder and cut his throat from ear to ear. I hate to see people cry, he said, stuffing the ingrate into the waste basket.

Organized by Mrs. George Fairchild. who serves as housemother, the big yellow house is occupied by twelve quite typical coeds. The entire upstairs belongs to the girls who are their own housekeepers. Saturday morning is usually cleaning day for the Fairchildren as they have dubbed them- selves. On this day the rugs fly, dusters are out and a general happy confusion reigns. Although they live in the same house, the girls are seldom all together at one time, and that fact gives impetus to the birthday parties which occur quite frequently. Party invitations are pinned on the bulletin board, and everyone gathers to devour birthday cake from home, and ice cream. The parties usually turn into song fests. bridge games or knitting bees. Executive work is carried on by the girls in their business meetings headed by Marge Siegrist. president; and Mary Ann Unruh. secretary-treasurer. Of the twelve residents, five are music majors which include Barbara Shirley. Darlene Reece. Ardiena Voth, Marcheta Dewey and Gloria Fetters. Other house members are Lois Anderson. Barbara Ounlap. Ruby Stackly, Millie Voth, Marion Box. Mary Ann Unruh and Marge Siegrist. It ' s a busy place at all times . . . and a happy foster home for each of Mrs. Fairchild ' s Fairchildren. 83 COMMON S- Camp us Taj Mali al By Joe McConkey Stomping grounds for those who seek relaxation and entertainment is the University Commons, meeting place for hundreds of cliques and clubs, and chow hall for many more. Easy chairs and comfortable couches probably explain the fact that the Com- mons Lounge is always filled to capacity. For aspiring musicians, a piano is fur- nished and all it takes to play it is the know-how. The Lounge also serves as campaign headquarters for campus political parties who, during election time, set up shop in the hall and greet every Joe as though he were a long-lost buddy back from the Big War. For gab fests, guys and gals unanimously choose the Fountain Room, and what a mob! People are lined up three deep to buy coffee, but Rosie is still parked at the counter telling Janie all about that witch of a Spanish teacher. Of course, it ' s impossible to catch every word because all of a sudden the jukebox erupts into D.T. ' s, drowning out everything. Easy on the pocketbook, easy on the stomach, and good to look at, is the food in the cafeteria. Approximately 2000 students pass through cafeteria lines daily which keep 40 employees busy supplying service and food. 84 E A U T Y QUEENS ■ 1 pjfli ■ 3m ' if B £ ■ k 1 J r i V 1 ■ Hi V s 1 1 J IROFESSIONAL photographers Math Borniger, Bob Gottschalk and Paul Threlfall admitted that, in spite of their experience along such lines, they had a hard time choosing th e queen of this year ' s s Parnassus.

Bewailing the fact that Friday classes ended abruptly with a sneaky walk-out, family men went home to take care of Junior while the more collegiate collegians joined in the street dances, athletic contests and gen- eral confusion. Afternoon found the more hardy specimens of life assembled for the annual endurance marathon, May Day skits, which lasted from noon until dusk. Competing Greeks outdid themselves poking fun at brother organ- izations and campus institutions, and in general provided a good time for all. Climaxing the day ' s activities was the coronation of lovely Barbara Gwinn as May Queen and the all-school dance in her honor.

Throughout both semesters the news-hounds who made Fiske Hall a bedlam each week were headed by Lester Rosen, editor-in-chief. Bill Fein and Marge Crum held managing editor positions while Ted Noel and Jim Foster gave freshmen a hell-ping hand on the desk editor ' s bench. Campus society was handled by society editors Billie Stover and Betty Colliatie and sports events were covered by editors Al Littleton and Dale Henry. Advertising manager Elmo Rieff and his assistant Gene Dagel were responsible for seeing that the paper came out on the black side of the ledger. Under the guiding hand of George H. Phillips and Max Milbourn. beginners and editors alike learned the meaning of a Tuesday deadline and the value of accu- rate news reporting. At the copy desk, amid sounds of ringing telephones, hesitant typewriters and accusations such as Who took my cigarettes ' ? stories were edited and verified. Wil- liam J. Jardine changed to William M. Jardine. and headlines assigned. During first semester the Sunflower published the largest paper in its lengthy history, a twenty-four page edition. Another first for the paper was its acceptance into the Kansas Press Association. 98 Editors Belly Jacobs and Shirley Clark (Organizations) isi % PARNASSUS Unbelievable but true is the fact that Parnassus finally hit the distributing stands. It ' s different this year, and we hope you like it because we have quite a tender spot in our hearts for this particular baby, having eaten, slept and lived Parnassus for almost a year. In spite of the missed lunches and lost grade points, those who wrote the copy, took the pictures and edited copy, were rewarded by seeing the finished product roll off the press. Official worry-birds for the book were Betty Jacobs, editor-in-chief; Dean Campbell, business manager; Shirley Clark, organizations editor; Jim Foster, sports and distribution editor: and Paul Clark, photography editor. Assistant photographers were Rankin Criessinger, Wayne Sourbeer. Charles Dyer and George Meloy. Copy contributions were made by journalism students. 99 STATION W V Celebrating its first anniversary this year, radio station WU, located atop the Administration Building, is learning the meaning of growing pains. Beginning last year with only thirty minutes of recorded music, the station now carries five hours of programs each day. Plans for the future show even greater expansion. Boss man of WU, and head of the radio department is Don Williams, assistant professor of speech and originator of the station. Today, the station airs a variety of programs includ- ing campus news, popular and classical music, world news, sports and fashion notes. Of special interest have been added features made possible by radio wire recorders. Each football game was reported by WU sportscasters Hal Lefler and Les Rosen. Musical programs, speeches, all special events were picked up for playback on WU. Those programs included pianist Harold Carey, Dick Haughton and his orchestra, and guest artists. Recorded musical shows were handled by Wayne Barrington. Frank McMasters, Jack Campbell, Dick Williams and Bill Viedt. News of women was carried each Tuesday by Betty Heft and Bobbie Dunlap. 100 MIKE ROGUES 101 Left to right: Kenny Hedrick, Morris Starr. Bob Meilert, Bud Phillips.

Price and Dr. Hugo II all. Many new ideas and changes were initialed by the Student Council this year in addition to carrying out time honored traditions. 1948 saw one of the most active councils ever to function on the campus. Destined to go down in school history was the coun- cil ' s plan to abolish the long lamented excuse system. Excusing officers headed by L. Hekhuis. dean of the College of Liberal Arts, officially abandoned the system in March. Tom Curry headed the Council as president with Bob Meilert, vice president; Marjean Spencer, secretary; and June Cale. treasurer. Other members elected to the Council were Dot Neises, Pat Taylor. Ru Beuke. Pat Rutherford. Art Hodges. Bud Phillips. Kenneth Hedrick, Morris Starr, and Bert Davies. Another new plan enacted by the Council was the sponsoring of Fox Theatre student identification cards which enabled University students to attend movies at a reduced price. One of the year ' s highlights was the May Day cele- bration. Festivities began with an all-school walk-out and was followed by athletic events in the old stadium. In the afternoon. Hippodrome skits were held which carried out the theme of May Day Madcaps. Cor.- cluding the celebration was the Maypole winding and coronation of the May Queen, followed by an all-school dance. 103 Sharon O ' Rourke Alpha Tau Sigma Miss O ' Rourke was crowned at the WU-Southwestern basketball game, by Elvin Vaughn, captain of the squad.

Who were the Three Furies ? Wheaties presented, in a pep convocation for the Drake University game, their version of how three football stars — Houlik, Hodges and Sexton — prepared for, and won a game. During the half-time at football games, Wheaties joined Whocks. men ' s pep organization, and the music department in stunts and skits planned by all three organizations.

P AN H E L L E N I C Set up to regulate rushing and pledging activities on the campus are the Men ' s and Women ' s Panhellenic Councils. The purpose of the councils is to bring about a closer relationship among the Greek social organiza- tions on the campus. In addition to regulating rushing and pledging, the councils have authority over sorority and fraternity functions, and they make and enforce initiation rules. Women ' s Panhellenic Council, sponsored by Dean Grace Wilkie, is composed of two representatives and the president from each sorority. Three members from each campus fraternity comprise Men ' s Panhellenic Council, sponsored by Dr. Francis J.

ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS By the appointment of a special committee last spring, the Associated Women Students was established by the Senior Honor Women. The committee which included Anita Fave Lallement. Bethenis Jones. Twila Stoss and Lilly Higginson drew up a constitution which gives A.W.S. membership to every woman enrolled in the University. A Pollv Pepper ' system which enabled freshmen women to become acquainted with upperclassmen and campus regulations was sponsored and a booklet of helpful hints about the campus was distributed to all women students upon registration. A.W.S. also spon- sored a faculty program entitled ' Faculty Follies ' which was under the direction of irginia Castres. 113 V N 1 V E R S I T Y PLAYERS University Players, campus dramatics organization. completed a successful theatre season at the University in May, when they presented the Topeka Civic Theatre prize winning play, The Fine Clean Anger of Private McElroy. This was the first world premiere ever given by the University Theatre. Leads, played by Maxine Moore and John Kelso, were outstanding in portraying the usual and the unusual in the life of an army private. Professor George D. Wilner directed the play, and the author, Joe Baldwin, was present for the final week of rehearsals and the performances of the play. In addition to the five plays given by the University Theatre, the Players brought the National Repertory Theatre here to present Oscar Wilde ' s play The Impor- tance of Being Ernest. By far the most extensive theatre season in the history of the University, opened with the clever Penn- sylvania Dutch comedy ' Papa Is All. This story of a domineering father (John Kelso), his wife (Helen Christy) and their daughter (Elizabeth Kirkpatrick) provided numerous laughs for the audiences. The Pennsylvania Dutch accent, used throughout the play was climaxed by the inquisitive neighbor, Mrs. Yoder { Barbara Hattan ) , whose portrayal proved to be the most amusing part of the performance. Most remarkable production of the season and the University Theatre, was the opera Hansel and Gretel. ' With the combined efforts of the music, dramatics and dance departments, the show was praised by packed houses as the most professional amateur show ever seen in Wichita. Leads were played by Gloria Fetters and Zellah Dustin. Following Hansel and Gretel ' in January, the University Theatre presented the sophisticated Noel Coward comedy farce, Blithe Spirit, under the direc- tion of Mary Jane Woodard, instructor in speech. Acting, makeup and scenery were all equally superior in portraying a frustrated husband (Jack Campbell ) who is plagued by his wife. Elvira (Mickey Johnson), dead for seven years, and his living wife (Anita Faye Lallement). The plot thickens when a medium (Barbara Dunlap) is called in to alleviate the situation and to provide the character comedy part of the play. Cymbeline, fourteenth Shakespearean drama given by the University Players, directed by George Wilner. was a masterpiece of production, since the cast was tremendous, and the scene changes were very difficult. Headed by Jim Stearns, Charlana Taylor and Don Williams, this Shakespearean romance, showed the life of the English noblemen, and the folly of one man who attempted to disprove the loyalty and chastity of women. Following the last performance of Cymbeline, The University Players presided at a special open house in the Pine Room of the Commons Lounge, honoring Wilner on his twenty-fifth anniversary at the University. Former University Players, National Collegiate Players, casts from former shows, including the first play Wilner directed here, and faculty members were invited. Concluding the University Players meetings, a one- act play, Glamour, directed by Doug Conrod, was presented in April in the University Auditorium. Fol- lowing the play, a backstage party was held. University Players officers included Barbara Dunlap. president; Dick Hobbs, vice president; Joy Ann Bedfield. secretary-treasurer. Committee chairmen were Maxine Moore, social; Tony Holloway, membership, and Jim Kemper, publicity. Comprehensive costuming went into the planning of each Uni- versity production, as evidenced in this typical backstage scene during Cymbeline 114 Hansel and Gretel E.

STUDENT FORUM In its endeavor to stimulate intellectual and cultural development throughout the campus the Student Forum Board brought five nationally known speakers before student audiences this year. The policy of the Forum is to let students hear and meet notables on ' ' home ground which enhances student interest in timely subjects. The Forum ' s attempt to keep the campus informed on the background of current affairs is headed by Dick Elving. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was originally scheduled to appear as a Student Forum speaker, canceled her engagement at the last minute because of pressing United Nations duties. Robert St. John, the first guest speaker, was a war correspondent and witnessed the war from the first invasion of Poland. The former New York Associated Press editor expressed his belief that the American people should gain a wider view of world affairs before forming an opinion — that the nation as a whole is too gullible. T. V. Smith. Texas-born author and lecturer, addressed the Student Forum on The Promise of American Politics. Smith, former Chicago University philosopher, told of a faith adequate to the moral, social and political requirements of the atomic age. Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell, consultant in religious education since 1933, spoke about Our Educational System. Dr. Bell stated that the present educational system was badly in need of change. Stuart Chase told students that he did not believe there would be a depression for some time. Chase, national economic expert, is the author of numerous books on economics. 116 Janitor Bill often trampled in the ' tween class rush, is known for his smile.

Pride and joy of the department is the new 7 x 10 foot wind tunnel which will test scale models of newly designed airplanes, including the jet-propelled type. It makes possible strength tests of materials used in aircraft construction and knowledge of how planes will react in actual flying conditions. Another recent addition is the large machine shop with carpenter pattern-making and welding departments which are well equipped with lathes, surface grinders and milling machines. A third building houses laboratories for fluid mechanics electricity, structural testing and internal combustion engines which make possible the many additional courses which will benefit future engineers. 118 R. 0. I. C. During the 1947-48 school year the University Reserve Officers Training Corps, under the command of Col. D. T. Beeler, enjoyed the largest enrollment since before the war. It is also credited with being one of the largest and most prosperous units on any university campus throughout the nation. Although the R.O.T.C. unit is much smaller in number of cadets than a regular army unit, it is a model setup, corresponding to an army unit, providing practical training for the cadets. Many courses are offered for the cadets including leadership and psychology in handling men. different weapons used by the Army ground forces, organization of the Army, and tactics used in war. To accommodate the growing number of cadets, the unit moved into the new Armory, vacating all offices and classrooms in Fiske Hall and the Women ' s gym. The Armory contains sufficient classrooms and offices, plus room for unit assembly formations during bad weather. 119 Persis Bon j our HONORARY COLONEL 120 First Row — Second Row — Leroy Berry James E.

The 75 piece, all-student Symphony completed its twelfth year, by making 13 appearances including con- cert engagements in Sterling. Hutchinson. Fort Scott. Pittsburg. Kansas; Springfield. Joplin and Nevada, Missouri. Under the direction of David R. Robertson, this group has reached a high point of development. Morton Gould, noted conductor, praised it as superior to anv university group with which he had come in contact. The Symphony provided music for the operetta Hansel and Gretel which was presented in December. combined with the a capella Choir and the glee clubs to present the annual Christmas convocation on Decem- ber 19. and played campus concerts on Palm Sunday and on May 11. The popular professional woodwind quintet, com- posed of Walter Wehner. Dorothy Feenster Terwilliger, James Kerr. Robert Bays, and Howard Halgedal, com- pleted its second year with many successful engagements throughout the state. A Student Concert Series, sponsored by the Wichita Symphony Society, brought an outstanding program to the University auditorium this year. Frances Yeend and Mario Lanzo opened the series in October and were followed by the distinguished duo-pianist team of Whittemore and Lowe.

Cal.. wound up a highly successful 1947 grid season. Under the direction of head coach Ralph Graham, line coach Jim Trimble, and end coach Paul Walker. the Shockers bowled over seven out of ten opponents and took second place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings for the second straight year with two wins and one setback. The 257 points scored by this team during the ten- game schedule made it the second highest scoring team in the 50-year grid history of the University. This total is exceeded only by the 1907 squad that scored 296 points in winning eight of ten games, including a 111-0 victory over Christian University of Enid. Oklahoma. Wichita ranked third in the nation in the vards gained rushing department with 2.932 vards gained from scrimmage. The Shockers held opponents to a gain of only 1.365 yards in the ten games. Coach Graham ' s search for a consistent passing attack was only partially successful. With Lin Sexton and Eddie Kriwiel tossing the pigskin Wichita completed only 36 out of 93 attempted passes for a total of 574 yards and six touchdowns. Opponents had better luck in completing 75 of 175 attempted passes for a gain of 949 yards and five touchdowns. Individually, the Shockers ranked extremely high. Linwood Sexton, brilliant colored grid star, was selected to the All-Missouri Valley conference first team for the third consecutive year. He also was the leading ground gainer in the Valley this year, piling up 702 yard . In nine games. Sexton advanced the ball a total of 1.014 yards on both running and passing plays, to rank sixth in the nation in this category. Sexton was picked on the Midland all-star first team, but was not allowed to compete in the annual Mo-Kan I Missouri-Kansas I Bowl game because of racial ban. Jimmy Nutter, sensational 159-pound scatback fresh- man from McPherson. led the nation in rushing statistics for several weeks, until a leg injury benched him in mid-season. Nutter was picked on the United Press All-Missouri Valley team after he scored 36 points and gained 590 yards rushing for the season. Shocker fullback Art Hodges led Wichita scoring with 57 points and was picked as the outstanding back in the Raisin Bowl contest. Hodges battering ram style of advancing the ball gave him the nod over much- publicized Hardy Brown, of the Tulsa Golden Hurri- canes, in the selection of fullback on the Valley all-star grid squad. Several other Shocker gridders received the honor of being picked on Missouri Valley and All-Midland teams. These include: Paul Houser, 217-pound junior right tackle: Mike Knopick, 194-pound freshman left end; Bob Schreiner. 188-pound sophomore left guard; John Stucky, 180-pound senior right guard: Marvin Campbell. 197-pound senior left end: and Anton Hap Houlik. 167-pound sophomore right half and reserve fullback.

Mo., by a 33-0 score in the opening game of the grid season in Veterans Field. The ichita superior manpower smothered the Missouri team by striking for two first period touchdowns and then wearing down the opposition to score 20 points in the final frame. In the second game of the season, the Shockers suffered a 21-6 defeat at the hands of the Utah State aggregation at Logan. Utah. W ichita outgained the Aggies more than 100 yards on the ground but ran into a passing attack that brought about all three Utah State tallies. Jimmy Nutter sprinted 54 yards for the lone Shocker score. Returning to Veterans Field the Shockers bowled oyer a tough Bradley University squad 28-7. in a bruis- ing game. Jimmy Nutter had a field day. running 82 yards for one touchdown, and returning a kickoff 90 yards for another. A 76-yard punt return by Nutter for a score was called back by penalty.

Wichita piled up a total of 405 net yards gained from scrimmage to rank fourth in the nation in this category. Without the services of Linwood Sexton, Wichita put up one of its best battles of the year in losing to the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes 7-0. This victory gave Tulsa undisputed lead in the Missouri Valley Conference race. Editorials and sports write-ups of this game played a major factor in lifting the racial ban in Missouri Valley athletics. With St. Louis University Billiken fighting for the Missouri Valley championship and doped to win by at least 14 points, the Shockers pulled one of the biggest upsets of the season in downing them 38-6. Wichita rolled up 376 net yards rushing, with Lin Sexton gaining 176 yards. This victory gave the Shockers second p lace in the Missouri Valley standings for the second straight year. Wichita ran up against one of the strongest teams in the Midwest in the undefeated, once tied Redskins of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The Shockers scored first, but Miami ' s well-balanced offense clicked for 187 yards on the ground and 132 yards through the air. to win 22-7. In the final game of the season, Wichita romped to a 62-6 win over Colorado College, of Colorado Springs. Wichita gained 502 net yards rushing, which boosted them into third place in the nation in rushing offense. This huge score enabled the Shockers to beat out the 1908 grid squad by one point for the honor of being the second highest scoring team in University history. Tulsa Golden Hurricanes 0-7-N o v e m b e r 1 129 Miami Redskins 7-22-N o v e m b e r 15 Wichita was picked from a list of five eligible candidates to face the College of Pacific Tigers in the New Years Dav Raisin Bowl tilt held in Fresno.

In the Crape Bowl football game at Lodi, Cal., COP won a decisive 35-13 victory. December 13, over the same Utah State squad that downed the Shockers 21-6. Wichita opened the game scoring by dashing to a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, but the Tigers bounded right back to tie the score then go ahead, to win 26-14. The huge Tiger line stopped the powerful Shocker offensive machine in its tracks, while they were rolling up nearly 375 yards from scrimmage. At the close of the season, head football coach Ralph Graham announced his resignation and acceptance of the new position as head football coach at Kansas State University. Graham will take end coach Paul W alker with him when he leaves the University February 1.

But the Shockers struck a snag and finished the season with four wins in the remaining 16 contests and compiled a Valley conference record of one victory against nine defeats. This win-loss record fails to tell the story, however, because five of the defeats were by the narrow margin of three points or less, mainly due to inaccuracy at the free throw line. In non-conference play, Wichita won 11 victories compared to four defeats. The Shockers won double victories over Culver-Stockton, Emporia State.
