Dotson Leads Kansas Harriers To Easy Win
Bill Dotson and his fellow Jayhawker cross country runners extended their undefeated record Friday at the Central Intercollegiate Championships run over a four-mile Washington Park course in Chicago.
THE JAYHAWKERS placed men first, second, fifth, 17th and 23rd to post a five-man low of 48 points. This was front in front of second place Southern Illinois University with 70 points. Defending champion Western Michigan was third with 78 points.
Dotson and Charlie Hayward were a familiar sight crossing the finish stripe. With the exception of the Big Eight meet the pair has finished 1-2 in all of the Jayhawker meets.
Jayhawkers Dan Ralston, George Cabrera and Bill Thornton placed fifth, 17th and 23rd respectively.
The CIC was a first for Kansas as the Jayhawkers have not been able to participate in past years because of schedule conflicts.
The CIC was the last meet for the Jayhawkers before next Monday's NCAA championships at East Lansing, Mich.
Oklahoma State's Danny Metcalf dropped Hayward to a third place finish in the Big Eight meet held here nine days ago.
DOTSON'S WINNING TIME was 19:30.7. Hayward was close behind with a 19:33.
Another first was the four-mile course. The Jayhawkers in previous races have run three miles. The Washington Park course was soggy and a brisk wind blew slightly throughout the race.
The Big Eight champions hold wins over Southern Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the Chicago Track Club.
McClinton Honored
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Rugged Curtis McClinton of the Kansas Jayhawks received an unusual honor today when he was named the Big Five's "Back of the Week" for his work against California.
McClinton, a 212-pound senior from Wichita, scored four touchdowns for the Jayhawks and rolled up 97 yards on 16 carries. He is the first man outside the Big Five to be honored by the conference this season.
THE EMPTY ORANGE BOWL—The drawing above is of the Orange Bowl in Miami where the traditional post season classic will be played Jan. 1. But, as of now, neither team has been chosen. Colorado and Kansas are still in contention from the Big Eight while several other top squads loom as possible opponents. Among the teams considered to oppose the Big Eight entrant are Louisiana State, Alabama and Miami.

Even the offense of the Bears — who were clad in black jerseys with gold stripes and numerals, gold pants and helmet and black stockings—could do nothing with the superior Kansans.
Elvin Basham, the terror-dealing Kansas guard, coming home from California, had an interesting comment about the Missouri defense which the Jayhawkers will face Saturday.
"They move those big tackles inside on their split six-man line. They line-up on the outside shoulders of our guards and this makes them real hard to block," continued the 195-pound senior who will be called upon to handle the much larger Tiger defenders.
"It is the fine Missouri tackles which make their defense so tough," said Basham.
One of the best executed plays of the warm afternoon was a 26-yard power sweep on which Gib Wilson went unscathed for KU's seventh touchdown with 9:02 gone in the final period.
THE HAWKERS took advantage of two recovered fumbles and an intercepted pass for tallies with almost no extra effort.
MISSOURI BOASTS two of the finest tackles in the area with 225-pound Bill Wegener and 217-pound Ed Blaire at the starting posts.
Cal Coach Marv Levy, who suffered the worst defeat of his coaching career, employed a line which is unbalanced to the right with a split right end and a wingback outside the right tackle.
It was in the last quarter when the Hawkers actually showed their best scoring punch, getting 19 points.
Kansas has done well against teams employing six-man defensive lines; but the moving of the tackles to the inside may be the difference which makes the MU defense tough.
McCLINTON WAS named the outstanding player of the game which probably pleased Los Angeles Ram scout Elroy Hirsch who talked to the 215-pound senior following the game.
McClinton was the second draft choice of the Rams last year.

Bowl Chances Better-
The speedy Kansas right half knocked over, out-ran and carried tacklers for scoring runs of three, two, six, and two yards.
THE TEAMS WHICH stick primarily to a six-man front have been
MITCHELL PLAYED his third unit a great deal in the second half but even it was able to move easily through the Bear defense.
This type of defense is usually vulnerable up the middle and in the secondary against the pass. But, as Basham pointed out, Missouri makes gaining ground through the center much harder by playing its tackles where they do.
Although the Jayhawkers probably have not faced a front wall so impressive and powerful as that of Missouri's, the offensive show which the Hawks have put on in the past six games makes it seem hard to think MU can control Kansas.
Oklahema, Oklahoma State, Nebraska and California.
QUARTERBACK Larry Ballett, with eight for 13 for 120 yards, led the California aerial game to 10 completions in 19 throws.
Basham, who was voted the best lineman of the game by the writers and broadcasters, led the Jay fiveman front as it held Cal to 22 yards, with 20 coming in the first half, not counting Carvajal's run.
THIS WAS THE first time KU faced such an alignment but it posed no serious problems.
Aside from the Carvajal thriller, the longest gain on the ground for the losers was a 10-yard pick-up by Jack Trumbo.
California got into Kansas territory only twice other than when it scored but made a serious threat neither time.
Hadi again made the Kansas passing attack the off-setting factor to the unstoppable running game. He completed his first four tries and ended with seven connections in nine tries for 91 yards and a touchdown.
AGAINST KANSAS STATE it was the stout and superior play of the KU lines which was the biggest factor in making the Hawk's offense tick.
The throwing score was on a 15- yard toss to sophomore Jay Roberts who out-reached and out-fought a Cal defender in the end zone.
Roberts caught another pass to lead KU receivers with two for 31 yards in addition to playing his best defensive game of the season.
But, the Bear passing attack did provide a few touchy moments for Kansas.
At California, the fighting runs of the Kansas backs appeared predominate. The lines were certainly effective in the缸 over the Golden Bears, but it took some almost unbelievable carries by the backs to pile up such a score.
Even if the Tigers are able to throttle the Kansas attack, they must generate some scoring punch of their own. It is doubtful, and has been proven, that the Tigers do not have the individuals to be a potent striking force with the ball. And, even if they did, they would have to penetrate a Kansas defense which has come to be very, very stingy.
If Kansas can combine these two efforts Saturday, Missouri should have little hope of stopping the KU machine which has averaged over 26 points per game.
Thus, all the tangible figures point to a Kansas victory; but it appears the things such as spirit, desire, "guts" and, of course, the breaks will help tell the difference.

Playing with temperatures in the 30s, Smith won in sets of 9-7 and 6-3.

The

By Steve Clark
The 70-year-old Kansas-Missouri rivalry has been spiced by colorful pageantry and hard-fought football contests. Each year the two rivals disregard season records, vital statistics and sportswriters' pre-game predictions to make football history.
This year more than 40,000 fans may set a new Memorial Stadium attendance record to see what is billed by area sportswriters as "The Game of the Century."
KANSAS FANS ARE HOPING that a precedent established the past two years will not carry over to derail their Jayhawkers from an Orange Bowl bid.
The two squads were equal in ability but the Jayhawkers were given a slight edge because of the home field. Two feet were to keep the Jayhawkers from their New Year's Day appearance.
The Jayhawkers and Tigers met here in 1959 to decide who would represent the Big Eight in the Orange Bowl. A conference ruling at that time prohibited Oklahoma, the league champion, from going to Miami two consecutive years.
Missouri took a 7-0 lead with 13:12 remaining in the first half on a Phil Snowden-to-Don Smith 23-yard pass play.
THE JAYHAWKERS RETALIATED EARLY in the second half with an 80-yard scoring drive, scoring on Doyle Shick's seven yard line plunge.
Missouri, with less than 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, took a 13-7 lead. Kansas then returned the kickoff to the 26 yard line and marched to within two feet of the Missouri goal line before being stopped.
Kansas picked up two points late in the game when Missouri gave it an intentional safety to move the ball out of Tiger territory.
LAST YEAR THE RIVALS MET at Columbia. Missouri was riding aloft the national rankings with an undefeated record. Kansas stood 6-2-1 for the season and 4-0-1 in conference play.
Missouri was given an edge because of its ranking, stendy play and the home field edge.
The Jayhawkers pulled a surprise. Led by Bert Coan's dazzling open field running the Kansas crew upended the nation's number one team 23-7.
THIS YEAR THE MISSOURI GAME is a "Must" for the Javahawkers. Orange Bowl officials have hinted if the Jayhawkers defeat Missouri. Kansas will go south for New Year's Day.
Missouri is void of a bowl bid since conference champion Colorado will be invited undisputedly if the Jayhawkers lose.
Kansas will be given the edge this year on strength of their inspired play the past six games. The 53-7 California wallop compared to Missouri's 14-14 tie with the Bears makes the Hawks a solid favorite.
The Jayhawker's home field advantage is supposed to add to Kansas' pre-game favorite's role. Nevertheless, look what happened in 1959 and 1960. The home field "doesn't mean a thing." The tables have been turned twice consecutively.
It has been said history repeats itself. Kansas fans are hoping not.
Hember Number One KU Bowler
John Hember remains the number one KU varsity bowler according to the current standings. Hember, Kansas City junior, has a 190 average for 24 games.
The Hawk top five is rounded out by Steve Rybolt, Ottawa sophomore, 187; Terrell Hays, Shawnne junior, 187; Paul Hammar, Overland Park junior, 185; and Jim Kartonsis, Hutchinson senior, 181.
