University Daily Kansan SPORTS Well Balanced Wyoming Here
The Kansas Jayhawkers may face the best offense they will see all season when Head Coach Bob Devaney brings his twice victorious Wyoming Cowboys into Memorial Stadium for the home opener Saturday.
Devaney has been at the mountain school four years and has directed the Pokes to three Skyline Conference championships on the basis of a 29-9-3 record.
THE MULTIPLE OFFENSE of the potent Cowboys which has leveled Montana, 29-0, and North Carolina State, 15-14, is led by All America candidate at quarterback, Chuck Lamson, and 210-pound fullback Bob Bisacre.
Although playing only one quarter in the Wyoming opener, Lamson totaled 67 yards and scored on a 46 yard gallop. It was his effective running which was the major factor in the Poke upset over the Wolfpack last week.
Last year Lamson, who weighs 188 pounds, carried for 543 yards to make him the sixteenth best runner returning this year.
BISACRE GOT 48 yards on eight trys against Montana and was a workhorse in the North Carolina State game, helping the Pokes total 288 yards rushing. Last season Bisacre carried 54 times for 263 yards and a 4.9 per try average on the Cowboy team which tied for the Skyline championship and compiled an 8-2 season mark.
In beating what was supposed to be one of the finest Montana squads in the school's history, Wyoming amassed 422 total yards with 101 of them coming through the air.
Wyoming, playing its first game against a Kansas football team will have a first team line which averages
193 pounds per man and a reserve front wall which is two pounds heavier per man. This means that the KU and Poke lines will be very close to even in size.
ALTHOUGH THE WYOMING offense has been outstanding in its first two games, a solid Cowboy defense cannot be overlooked.
Wyoming finished last season as the best defensive team in major collegiate football, holding 10 opponents to a 149.6 yard per game average.
MONTANA FOUGHT FOR a 201 yard total offensive showing with 111 yards on the ground. But, most of this yardage came against the Wyoming reserves.
The main factor in this defensive honor was another national leadership — in rushing defense. Opponents got only 82.4 yards per game on the ground.

North Carolina State was able to penetrate the Poke defense for only 79 yards rushing. Through the air, thanks to the accurate tossing of All America signal-caller Roman Gabriel, who is touted as the finest thrower in the nation, the Wolfpack gained 115 yards.
Although there are only 14 returning letterwinners on the Wyoming squad, the addition of several sophomores from an undefeated freshman squad has already made KU's next opponent a formidable one and one against whom a rebound from the disappointing 17-16 loss to Texas Christian may be very difficult.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—Bob Shaw came within three outs of pitching a no-hit game in the night-cap of a double-header between the Kansas City Athletics and the Detroit Tigers last night.
Near No-Hitter By KC's Shaw
Shaw had a no-hitter going into the ninth but an error by Dick Howser on Dick McAuliffe's grounder opened the inning. Bubba Morton got the first hit, a line-single to center field. After Charley Maxwell rolled out, George Alusik shot a sacrifice fly to score McAuliffe.
Detroit clinched second place in the American League race with a 6-4 win in the opener, and Kansas City took the second game. 6-3.
Larry Osborne followed with a home run. Steve Boros was safe on an error, Jake Wood got a single and Frank House popped out to end the game.
Kansas City pounded starter Ron Kline for five runs in the fourth and fifth innings. It was Kline's ninth loss of the year and Shaw's 12th win.
The Tigers erupted for five runs in the eighth inning to win the first game for reliever Hank Aguirre, who replaced starter Don Mossi in the seventh.

Intramural Program Starts Thursday
Games will be played daily up to Thanksgiving vacation on the intramural fields at the south edge of the campus.
With a background as old as the University itself, the 1961-62 intranural program opens Thursday with touch football. Kick-off time for the season is 4 p.m.
DEFENDING CHAMPION Beta Theta Pi will be gunning for its third straight A and B Hill Championships.
Last year there were more than 60 teams and,1,000 participants.
The first KU intramural competition was in 1886, KU's opening year. Football games in that year, and until 1920, featured such rivalries as the Law-Medics clash played annually at homecoming.
The present system was devised by John Sabo, varsity football end coach, 1925-1928. Intramurals gained increased popularity under Dr. E.R. Elbel, professor of physical education, who was director from 1928-1942.
WALTER L. MIKOLS, the present director, has been at the helm since 1952 when he succeeded Don Powell.
INTRAMURALS BEGAN on an organized basis in 1920 when G. B. Patrick, an assistant in the physical education department, and Forest C. Allen, then athletic director and basketball and football coach, formed a workable program.
Last year, 2,700 men participated in the overall intramural program. Besides football, fall sports include badminton, match golf play, handball, tennis, horseshoes, and swimming.
Growth in the program has been steady and is expected to jump even higher with this year's record enrollment. In 1920, there were 14 basketball teams and 100 men. Last year, basketball attracted 145 quintets and 1,612 men.
WINTER EVENTS ARE basketball and volleyball. Tennis, track, softball, and medal golf play are offered in the spring.
Robinson Off Floor To Gain Decision
DETROIT — UPI) — Time casts its shadow in Sugar Ray Robinson's corner but, at 41, the five-time middleweight king insists enough remains of his once-mighty ring skills to warrant another title shot.
Robinson completed the first leg on his latest comeback last night when he came back after being floored by a left hook to the mid-section in the eighth round to win a split decision over Canadian Middleweight Champion Wilfy Greaves.
