The Kansas Jayhawkers are going to their second post-season bowl in school history when they meet Rice (the Owls are in if they beat Baylor) in the bluebonnet Bowl on Dec. 16 at Houston.
The Jayhawkers first bowl appearance was in 1948 when they lost to Georgia Tech 20-14 in the Orange Bowl.
KU HAS BEEN READY for a bowl the past two years. Each year they have been sidetracked in their effort toward a post-season appearance. As A. C. (Dutch) Lonberg, athletic director, said, "We have missed the Orange Bowl by six inches and two votes."
Kansas defeated Missouri last year and thought they were bowl-bound. Spirit was high. After the MU game the KU campus went into pandemonium. Cars jammed Jayhawk Boulevard. Students yelled from their cars, "We won! Miami, here we come."
This year dreams of a bowl trip became reality. The Jayhawkers were going to do what they had been trying to do for 13 years.
KANSAS WAS FINALLY going to a bowl! What was the result? Nothing! An attitude of conservatism prevailed among the KU students and the football team.
The football team was invited down on the Monday preceding the game by the Bluebonnet Committee. This is a customary practice as usually the team practices on the field, and makes personal appearances drawing attention to the bowl.
What did Kansas say. "We've got studying to do." (So what if this is our second bowl appearance in school history.)
THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas is considered as one of the nation's top academic schools. This can be substantiated by the education-
minded Javhawker football team.
Students are apathetic. There is speculation that students will disregard the football team's academic example on Dec. 16 to "party" instead of going to Houston for the bowl.
The Jayhawker's trip to a bowl seems to be a stagnant situation. It looks as if the team is being forced to go like a small child being urged by his father to attend Sunday school.
THERE ARE SEVERAL reasons why Kansas will go to the bowl. First, the athletic department will profit approximately $100,000 by the trip. Second, alumni have apparently been pressuring the school to go. Third, it will give the team another opportunity to finish their season on a winning note.
"It will be just like a regular football weekend," said Coach Jack Mitchell.
The Jayhawkers are taking a lackadaisical attitude toward their bowl appearance. There is no pageantry or excitement over the school's first post-season appearance in 13 years. The bowl is being pictured as "drudgery" by the Kansas football team.
The attitude is bad; the hopes are hat the play won't be.
Davis Gets Trophy
NEW YORK — (UPI) — All America halfback Ernie Davis, whose running powered Syracuse to a Liberty Bowl bid, said today his selection as the first Negro ever to win the Heisman Memorial Trophy "is the kind of thing you dream about but are sure will never happen to you."
Davis won the award in a close vote over Bob Ferguson, Negro fullback of Ohio State.
John Hadl placed seventh in the voting.
