Inexperienced TCU Squad Hosts Touted Jayhawkers
Texas Christian opens the toughest schedule in the school's history tomorrow night against Kansas, with the least experience since 1957.
Only 17 lettermen return from last year's 35 T-winners giving Coach Abe Martin the smallest number of lettermen since the 1957 season. The returning players average but 156 minutes playing time, one of the lowest during the Martin regime.
ON THE BRIGHTER side is quarterback Guy (Sonny) Gibbs, the biggest signal caller in college football. Gibbs stands 6-7 and weighs 230 pounds.
Practice for the Kansas Jayhawkers, their final tune-up here before leaving for Ft. Worth early this afternoon, showed signs that Jack Mitchell's squad may have regained some of the spirit and drive which was a factor in establishing it as a national power.
Last year the tall Texan was the

ready.
Although there will be a considerable problem defensing TCU's passing game and the KU throwing may not be outstanding, the Jayhawkers should have the manpower and desire to thwart the attempt for a resounding upset by Abe Martin's Horned Frogs.
THE JAYHAWKERS worked basically on kicking but the work was spirited and well done. This allowed Mitchell to say, "We're ready."

MITCHELL SAID the effectiveness of the TCU running game has yet to be determined but it seems unlikely that it will be as devastating as that of the Crimson and the Blue. This may well be the factor which will carry KU to victory.
On the basis of observation, facts and a tiny bit of prejudice, the prediction is a Kansas win, 21-7.
In other games involving the Big Eight teams, there seems little opportunity for any drastic reversals of what is expected to happen.
Nebraska hosts North Dakota and should win easily; possibly 28-7.
Kansas State should provide little opposition for even a weak Indiana team. The prediction is 20-7.
In the only conference tilt of the day, Iowa State will have to struggle to defeat a good Oklahoma State squad, 14-7.

club's number two rusher with 233 net yards on 75 carries. Through the air Gibbs completed 47 of 111 passes for 473 yards and three touchdowns.
"I WOULD SAY Sonny is the best all-round sophomore quarterback I have ever had," explains Martin. "He has the tools of greatness, but I feel some of his potential is yet undeveloped. Size and strength are his main assets, and I know there is not a better blocking quarterback in football."

Gibbs will have good protection on the right side of the line to unleash his aerials. Guard Ray Pinion, tackle Bobby Plummer, and end Buddy Iles are not only two year lettermen but are the squad's tri-captains.
PLUMMER IS TICKETED for All America honors this year. TCU has had three All America tackles in the past five years. Plummer, already rated the top tackle in the Southwest, may join Norman Hamilton (1956), Don Floyd (1958-59), and Bob Lilly (1960) in the select circle.

Coach Martin describes Plummer as "the most aggressive tackle I have seen in years."
The already-lean Horned Frogs will be leaner Saturday night. Two men are out and two are doubtful. Lynn Morrison, 200-pound end and defensive ace, has an injured knee and is on crutches.
Center Ken Hanson 6-6, 250 sophomore, is out for the season.

THE BACKFIELD WILL be extremely inexperienced with only
limited services from Tommy Crutcher and Bud Priddy. Crutcher, a fullback, has an ailing ankle and while he is a probable starter he may not see much action.
Tomorrow night the Horned Frogs will be trying to prevent the Jayhawkers from equalling their highmark in the series, back-to-back victories. In 1951 and 1952 Kansas scored 27-13 and 13-0 victories. Last year the Jayhawkers defeated TCU in Memorial Stadium, 21-7.
