“T” minus 253 vavds and counting . . .
This is the situation which confronts KU quarterback Bob Douglass as he rapidly zeroes in on the all-time Big Eight Conference total offense mark for one season.
The lanky junior signal caller from El Dorado increased his season total to 1,486 yards in total offense with a 226-yard performance against the Colorado Buffaloes Saturday.
Former Iowa State Star Tim Van Galder currently holds the total offense mark for a single season with a 1,749-yard performance last fall.
Not only is Douglass near the total offense mark, but he is also approaching another conference record owned by Van Galder—passing. Douglass trails the former Iowa State signal caller by only 480 yards in the passing department with two games left to play.
Thus far this season, Douglass has established all-time season bests in three KU offensive categories. His 1,486 yards on total offense betters Ray Evans' 1942 season record of 1,410 yards, and his 1,165 passing yards this fall breaks Evans' 1942 mark of 1,117.
The KU quarterback is also the only man in Jayhawk football history to gain more than 200 yards in four consecutive games. A 200-yard day has been reached or bettered by a KU athlete only eight times in the previous 77 seasons. Evans achieved the feat twice in 1942 and once in 1947.
Other KU greats who are members of the 200-yard club are Gayle Sayers, Wade Stinson, Bob Skahan, Jerry Robertson, and Ralph Miller.
At his present clip, Douglass should better Van Galder's total offense mark, but could have a little more difficulty in topping the conference passing record. The Jayhawk star needs two solid 200-plus-yard days in order to establish a new passing mark.
At the beginning of the season, Coach Pepper Rodgers predicted that Douglass would be among the conference leaders in total offense. It looks like the KU coach was better than right this time.

"Our player of the week is the Jayhawk's middle guard, Emery Hicks," explained Jack Whitehead. "He never quits—he gives extra effort on every play. He performed on those last two plays against Colorado like the score was 0-0."
