Temple leads reserves
Scout squad aids varsity
KU's football team has won its last two contests and the coaching staff feels that much of the credit for the two victories goes to 23 men who have not suited up for a game.
These men are members of KU's scout or "redshirt" football squad. It is their job to run the next week's opponent's offensive and defensive formations against the KU varsity. The Jayhawks are then familiar with the different formations and plays used by the opponent before the game.
Temple in charge
Assistant Coach Floyd Temple is in charge of the scout squad. Temple prefers the name scout to the term "redshirt."
"We feel like the term 'red-shirt' means that the boy will not play until next year, regardless of
how he does in practice," Temple said. "Any boy on the scout squad could start Saturday if we feel he is ready."
"We are very proud of all these boys." Temple said. "We try to emphasize that they must give a good effort, and we get very good results."
Temple said that occasionally a boy could spend two years on the scout squad and then find himself start-
"Jack Perkins was a quarterback on our scout team for two years. When Coach Redgers came here, Perkins fit his mold as a monster man (roving linebacker)," Temple said. "Jack started the Stanford game, and has played every game since."
Temple said that there was a
lot of work involved in getting the scout squad ready to run the opposition's plays.
For example, last Saturday Coach Dick Toomey scouted Iowa State, the team which KU plays Saturday. Films are acquired of other Iowa State games. The coaching staff started Sunday afternoon looking at the films and discussing Toomey's scouting report. Then they worked out the Iowa State plays they think will hurt KU the most and diagram them.
"By Monday at practice time we generally know what we want to work on." Temple said. "We can give the boys a general idea of the type of offense we want.
Douglass, Mosier claim grid honors
KU quarterback Bob Douglass and tight end John Mosier have been chosen by Coach Pepper Rodgers and his coaching staff as the Jayhawks' back and lineman of the week.
Douglass gained 253 yards total offense Saturday against Oklahoma State to move into the conference lead with 818 total offensive yards through the first five games.
Mosier hauled in five Douglass passes Saturday for 103 yards. His total was the tenth highest yardage figure recorded by a KU receiver in one game.
Mosier's five receptions pushed his season total to 21 for 277 yards. He is now only four catches shy of Otto Schnellbacher's school record of 25 in 1942, and within 103 yards of Charlie Hoag's one season yardage mark of 380 in 1952.
