Contact Lost Those have been wiped out by voluntary French withdrawals, and, the Germans said, front-line contact had been lost at numerous points by failure of German forces to pursue the French across the frontier.

Dropkick Appears To Be Coming Back Into the Football Picture JLn JLn Expect Christman To Shine Air Will Be Full Of Footballs When Instate ejects Timers Saturday; Hard Test for K. U. at Norman BY LEO BRANHAM Kansas City, Oct. 19. (AP) Missouri's Paul Christman, injured pitching arm and left leg healed, is expected to pick up where he left off against Washington and toss passes galore when Kansas State invades OP Mizzou Saturday.

It be the opening conference contest for both teams. Of 24 games played between the two schools previously, Missouri has won nine, Kansas State 11 and four were tied. Tigers Seek Revenge Missouri, determined on revenge for a 13 to 21 defeat last year, is well fortified. The Tigers, finally free of a hospital list, will be able to throw the full weight of its potent attack against the visitors. But the Wildcats, despite the loss of Big Elmer Hackney Injured all-conference fullback and famed one man gang line plunger, can be expected to give an excellent account of themselves.

Christman played only a part of the game but contributed to a Tiger victory over Washington last week by gaining 200 yards, of which 118 Resulted' from ten Strikes out of, 18 attempted flips. None was Interr ceptedJ'- Although bottled up by Ohio State, Missouris Only conqueror date. Christman has completed 23 of 47 passes for 303 yards in three games. Ills total yardage is 473. Air Game Expected Practice this week indicated both teams would stress aerial tactics.

The latest Kansas State rehearsal was not particularly encouraging, however. The reserves, with Lewis Turner and Ted Garrett Imitating the Christman to Starmer combination, pushed back the varsity numerous times via the airlanes. Although they haven't defeated Kansas at Norman since 1933, Oka-homa's powerful Sooner expect little trouble with the Jayhawkers. It will be the first defense of the 1933 title for the Sooners, whose goal was uncrossed by Big Six rivals last season. Bunsen Recuperating The Sooners polished up their goal line punch and reviewed pass defense yesterday.

At Kansas, special attention was given fullback Bill Bunsen, rounding into shape after an Injury three weeks ago. Nebraska and Iowa State seek to uphold mounting Big Six prestige outside the family circle, Baylor, undefeated Southwest conference leader, invading Nebraska, and Iowa State going to Drake. Big Sixers have won ten, lost three and tied two in non-conference competition, The Comhuskers latest drill was devoted entirely to passing. The Cyclones stuck to ground offense, indicating they would rely largely on sheer power to knock over their Iowa foe. The varsity looked good, pushing freshmen lineups back at will.

If and when the Yanks and Giants go for the floodlight stuff the reason will be the Dodgers out-drew em both last season.

(AP) The East and the Midwest, two sections that Already have given football its outstanding dropkickers, are threatening to produce artists like Harvards Charley Brickley, Illinois Frosty Peters and Colorado College's Dutch Clark, who may re-introduce a play almost as extinct as East Lynne. The dropkick. largely because its slower than a placement and partly because dropkickers must be bom and not made, has faded from the football scene in recent years, but a survey today shows that its not quite so extinct as the dodo bird.

This 1s the second beauty treatment that Emilys had this year, he said. I painted her last spring, but she had to have a major operation when they put in a new concrete base and walk around her, and a lot of rusty water got all over the pedestal. I always try to do a good Job on Emily I think she appreciates it but sometimes after she gets her annual working over, practical jokers doll her up with lipstick and rouge to make her look like a painted hussy. Now that aint right you can see by those long skirts that Emily isnt one of your modem gals. Shes just the cool Grecian type, and she never has a word to say.

One story is that Emily was erected years ago as a memorial to Frances Willard, the great woman leader of the temperance movement in the United States. No plaque or Inscription can be found on the statue or pedestal to identify it or lend credence to the belief, and the only mark, beside the date, 1906, on the pedestal, is a large letter whose meaning or significance is unknown. There is another legend about Emily which is sometimes whispered about among the courthouse employees. It is said that if the Democrats ever fill every office in the Allen county courthouse, Emily will toss her pitcher in the air, come down off the pedestal, and dance the Big Apple. 3L 3S We Should Hope Not When Bucky Walters, who won 27 games for the Reds, was voted the most valuable player in the-league, the N.

Nile already has booted five points after touchdowns against South Dakota, tw against Indiana and one against Michigan via the dropkick route and that just about makes him the kingpin of the kickers. Pressing him for Midwestern honors is halfback Harry Clark of the Danville.

Clark's three dropkicks after touchdowns against Defiance represent the only three made in 89 games involving Ohio college teams this falL Farther out west is a lad by the name of Chet Gibbens, a sub quarterback at Kansas who dropklcked his eighth straight extra point Saturday against Colorado State. He split the posts six times last year and has done it twice so far this campaign. Hes too little to play regularly for K. U.

(150 pounds) but Gwinn Henry wouldnt trade him for a 225-pound tackle. One of his boots beat Texas 19-18 a year ago. Buster Riddle, New Mexico Normal quarteiback, dropkicked an extra point and then a field goal to beat the Regis Rangers of Denver 19-7, and Walter Kelimoff of Greeley State in the Rocky Mountain conference banged a Dutch Clark special against Johnny Masons School of Mines team, although the Miners wen, 6-3. In the other hotbed of the drop kick, the East, the nimblest-toed booter seems to be Ernie Savignano of Brown, a soph wrho has split the bars four times in extra point conversions.
