Kansas linemen who played a brilliant game were Warren Riegle and
Charles Daigneault, ends; Charles Keller and Dick Dreher, guards; Gene Long
and Wallace Rouse, tackles; and Wayne Hird, center. In the backfield, big
Don Barrington, fullback, and Charles Moffett, tailback, were outstanding,
with Leroy Robison, Don Faullmer and Dwight Sutherland turning in fine a
of blocking and running when the occasion demaunded.

Eight of the Kansas teams played their last game for K.U. since they were —
being transferred by the Navy to other stations. Warren Riegle, Charles
Daigneault and John Schimenz, ends; Don Barrington, Ted Short, 0. Je Endacott,
Ben Welch, backs; and Dick Dreher, guard, are beys from the first twenty-two
men who played their last game this season for Kansas. Replacing these men was
a tremendous job for the Kansas ceaches in the four games ahead with t he
Olathe Clippers, Kansas State, Oklahoma dnd Misseuri.

I kmew all ef you loyal Jayhawkers in whatever theatre of operations
you may be will be everjeyed to knew that at last Kansans can talk of
football without recalling how many years it has been since we have beaten
Nebraska and wondering whether a Kansas team ever will. From now on the
Jayhawkers are determined to put the jinx on the other team.

After the Nebraska victory, Kesas fans wondered what would be the fate
of the Kansas team after losing the eight Navy boys through transfer, four
ef whom had been regulars on the first team. They were agreeably surprised
when the KeU. team trounced the Olathe Clippers 33 to 14. Leroy Robison,
converted to a fullback from his blecking back position, did an especially

_ goed job at lugging the ball. Sam Hunter, freshman tackle, was moved to

right end, and Lee Gregory and Gerdon Reynolds started at left tackle. This
gave Kansas a pair of green ends, but they showed promise in this game of
developing as the season progressed. The blocking and ball carrying was

‘expecially good in the Olathe came.

Then came the upset. Kansas State beat us 18 to 14 in a game for the
books. Kansas started off by scoring a touchdown after about 12 plays in
the first quarter. The touchdown was scored on a screen pass from Charlie
Moffett to Leroy Robison. Bill Chestnut, our fine dropkicker, kicked the
extra pointe =

In the second quarter Kansas State, with a fine mixture of passes and
running plays, scored, to leave the score at the half remaining 7 to 6. In
the third quarter Kansas State took the ball away from Leroy Robison after
he made a line plunge on the Kansas 30-yard line. From there they scored
on a lateral pass after driving inside of the Kansas one-yard line. Just
before the quarter ended, Kansas started a march which ended on the first play
of the fourth quarter with Charlie Moffett going across for a touchdown from
the Kansas spread formation. Chestnut again kicked the goal and the score
was 14 to 12.

The game see-sawed back and ferth with Kansas outplaying the Agzies
until about four minutes remained in the fourth quarter. A forward pass
from Charlie Moffett to Gordon Reynolds was intercepted by little Dana Atkins
on the Aggies 20-yard line, and he raced dewn te the Kansas 8-yard, where he
was finally tackled by Leroy Rebison and Den Faullmer. The Aggies scored
from here on a pass, and led Kansas 18 to 14. With 15 seconds remaining in
the ball game, Charlie Meffett took the ball on his own 20-yard line in the
spread formation and ran 80 yards through the entire Aggie team for a touch-
down, only to have the score nullified when an official called a clipping
penalty on the Kansas State 15-yard line. And that was the ball came.
