KU's performance Saturday was by far the best of the season and, hopefully, it was a sign of things to come.
There was no doubt that the Jayhawker offense was as good as it was many times last season. The defense, except for the fateful pass coverage, was also quite solid.
THE MOVE OF JOHN HADL to left halfback proved to be the thing which makes KU look like the type of team which is a constant threat with the ball. Although the basic strategy was the same as for the first two games, maintaining possession as long as possible and attempting to wear down the opposition, it was much more effective with Hadl having more running room from his old halfback post. This factor and the tremendous leadership and running technique of Rodger McFarland were a big difference.
For the first time this season the Hawkers looked somewhat like the team which was conference champions on the field last fall. There was a great deal more life and desire shown by the entire squad.
IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE the Buffaloes were able to spark themselves to such a pitch late in the game that they were able to defeat KU and come out of the game as the likely choice for Orange Bowl honors.
Just before the close of the first half, with KU holding a 13-0 advantage. Gale Weidner threw twice successfully to Jerry Hillebrand before McFarland intercepted. This
show was a preview of what was to come and what had been forseen as inevitable throughout the week of practice for the game and as the game broke for a colorful halftime performance.
When the Buffaloes did decide to open up their attack there was little the Hawkers could do.
With the 58-yard Weidner to Ken Blair pass coming on the first play from scrimmage after Kansas' final score, there was little doubt but that KU was going to have a tough time controlling the Bucks.
EVEN KU'S 19-0 MARGIN didn't appear safe with the threat of Weidner's throwing ability present.
HADL WAS MOVED to quarterback, resting McFarland who had put out tremendous effort for the entire game, but couldn't make the Jays respond and when Weidner threw there was no hope of KU getting their first win.
There was only one hope for KU, to maintain possession and use up as much time as possible.
Saturday the Jayhawkers meet a scrapy Iowa State team here in what should be another very close game. If the reaction of the Iowa State scout in the press box when he heard of the Cyclone win over Oklahoma is any indication, KU may be in for trouble once more.
After being handed the strip of ticker tape with the score, the Iowa State coach yelled, leaped up and threw a fist into the air, a very happy and encouraged man.
Undefeated Iowa State faces its toughest football test so far this season when it meets Kansas, pre-season favorite for the Big Eight title here Saturday.
A crowd of better than 30,000 is expected to see the Jayhawkers meet the Cyclones in the 41st clash between the two schools.
KU holds a 22-13-5 advantage in this interesting series.
IOWA STATE COMES HERE carrying the longest current winning streak among conference eleven. The Cyclones mowed down Drake, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma this season to stretch this mark to seven games. Last season I-State won its final four, over Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas State and College of Pacific.
The Cyclones also won their first three games last season, with KU breaking the string with a 28-14 win in Ames.
Iowa State Brings Clean Slate Here
FOR ONCE THE CYCLONES will not be greatly outweighed — in the line, that is. The two teams are about even on the scales up front but the real problem comes in trying to stop the KU backfield — a quartet that averages 202 pounds per man.
Iowa State must concede a lot of size, speed, power and finesse to the Jayhawks. But they will not concede the game. Desire has pulled the Cyclones through three bitterly fought contests so far this year.
"We can concede personnel and size." Coach Clay Stapleton admits,
SURE! PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS ONE!
“but we are never going to concede being outhit. We know we are in for a bruising fight in every game and at Kansas it will be even tougher. Jack Mitchell has a team that has been rated among the nation's best—and deserved the rating. So far it has been a disappointing season for Kansas which makes Saturday's game all the tougher. The ability of the Kansas team must come to the top soon and Saturday will be listed as a must by Coach Mitchell.”
IT WILL HAVE TO BE listed as a must by the Cyclones, too. They are tied for the Big Eight lead with Colorado and Nebraska right now. Unaccustomed as they might be to this lofty positioning, the Cyclones find it a most enjoyable spot. They can be counted upon to fight — as Stapleton's teams always do — to stay there.

The Management.
The early report on the only serious injury from the Oklahoma game is that reserve sophomore tailback Ozzie Clay has a sore knee. No official word is reported but it appears he'll have a chance to play some against Kansas.
Marv Clothier, second unit guard, is the only Kansas player expected to be out of action Saturday. He twisted a knee at Colorado which is the first important injury for the Jayhawkers since the start of the season.
Bowlers Practice
Varsity bowling Coach Bascom Fearing held the fifth varsity bowling tryouts yesterday in the Jay Bowl. He said that the squad would probably be narrowed to 12 at the session.
The leading contenders so far, on the basis of their averages, are John Hember, Dave Rybolt, and Paul Hammar. Hammar and Rybolt are returning lettermen.
The first scheduled meet will be here with Kansas State Nov. 11.
