Scanning the Big 8
Quote of the week department: "If we aren't as high as a kite, Nebraska will blow us right out of the stadium," coach Pepper Rodgers said about his team's Big Eight opener Saturday.
"They beat us on execution," Kansas State's Vince Gibson said after his team's 16-14 loss to the University of Nebraska last week. "They couldn't have beaten us in effort. I've coached for a long time, and I've never had a bunch of boys give any more than ours did today."

After three football games, KU's 6-8, 250 lb. defensive-end, basketball-center Vernon Vanoy sees little similarity in playing the two sports.
"For one thing," Vanoy quips, "you can't foul out of this game. Last year Vanoy averaged over four fouls a game for the cage Jayhawks.

Asked what he thought of the off-season conditioning drills at Kansas State, Mitch Borota, defensive safety, said: "You couldn't print it."

KU's Pepper Rodgers, following a pattern set by his former boss, UCLA's Tommy Prothro, spent most of last Saturday afternoon in the press box and communicated by phone to the sidelines. "You get a much better picture from up there," Rodgers said, "but you miss the personal contact with the players—it's tough when you want to make a point forcefully and get caught with a middle man.
"I told Wade Stinson that I may have cost us some ticket sales because I wasn't on the sidelines for the fans to holler at," Rodgers said, "I don't want to rob them of that pleasure."

The Kansan sports desk would like to apologize for any embarrassment caused either Coach Bob Timmons or cross-country runner Mike Hayes by a story saying Timmons and Hayes drove 30 miles in 23 minutes. That's about 140 miles an hour, and Timmons doesn't drive that fast.
Oklahoma State's Jon Kolb, lineman of the week nominee for the Cowboys after his fine play at center against Texas, claims he reminds himself to be serious by frequently reading a sign in his room. The sign reads: "I've got to start acting more sensibly tomorrow."
How does Nebraska's Wayne Meylan, consensus All-American guard last year, handle the offensive lineman ahead of him?
"If I'm playing across from a little guy, I just explode straight ahead, because I figure I can run over him," Meylan answers. "If he is as big, or bigger than I am, I give him a double forearm chop with my left arm and then give him a double forearm chop with my right arm. That usually moves them out of my road."
Members, coaches and close followers of KU's 1947 Orange Bowl football team will be in Lawrence Saturday for the twenty-year reunion of the team.
Grid reunion set Saturday
Nearly the whole team is expected to return according to reports from the alumni office, which has compiled a list of answers from most of the team members.
Among notables returning for the reunion will be All-Americans Ray Evans, Otto Schnellbacher and Don Fambrough, all-conference guard and a member of KU's coaching staff.
Dick Wintermote, executive director of the KU Alumni Association, will also attend the reunion. He was head cheerleader in 1947.
Hicks dismissed for Husker game
Coach Pepper Rodgers announced Wednesday the temporary dismissal of middle-guard Emery Hicks from the University of Kansas football team for disciplinary reasons.
The 220 lb. sophomore from Nowata, Okla., will not be allowed to play against the University of Nebraska here Saturday.
Hicks was tied for team leadership in tackles with Mickey Doyle and Mike Sweatman. Each had recorded 33 tackles in three outings.
Rodgers, who did not comment on the reason for the action, said he would decide next week whether Hicks would play against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, Okla.
"Whether he is back on the team will depend on him," Rodgers said.
Raynard McDaniel, 220 lb. sophomore from Haines City, Fla., was named to replace Hicks.
