Local Laddies Get Clobbered
"Our chaps got clobbered," exclaimed Guy Dalby, organizer and coach of the newly-formed cricket team. He was referring to last weekend's match with Kansas City.
THE TWO TEAMS PLAYED matches on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons at the old football practice field east of Memorial Stadium on Mississippi St.
In Saturday's game Lawrence batted first and scored 40 runs (in cricket as opposed to baseball there are 11 players and all the players on one team bat before the opposition bats). Kansas City batted second and scored 41 runs with only four men out. In cricketology Kansas City won by six wickets.
On Sunday afternoon Kansas City batted first and scored 114 runs. Lawrence was able to muster only 46 runs.
PLAYING FOR LAWRENCE Saturday afternoon were two KU students and three faculty members. The students were C. H Narayana and K. S. Badgalop, both from India. Iain Stuart, Gerhart Zuther, and Robert Cobb were the faculty members participating.
Stuart and Balgopal also participated in Sunday's match. They were joined by L. D. Kothari, Z. H. Israli, S. K. Shah and N. Vora, all students from India, along with L. E. Helyar and Kenneth S. Rothwell, faculty members.
THE LAWRENCE CRICKET team was organized only nine days ago. Organizer Dalby spread the word around that he was getting up a cricket match on a Sunday afternoon. His efforts were rewarded by 19 cricketeers showing up to play.
The team has grown now to 34 people. Among these are 13 exchange students from India, seven faculty members and four native Englishmen. The remainder of the team is American students.
"The object of our efforts is to let Americans learn the game of cricket while at the same time giving exchange students an opportunity to participate in this sport that is so popular in their native lands."
Captains Playing
At latest report all three of last year's Kansas football tri-captains, Center Fred Hageman, Fullback Doyle Schick and Fullback, Right Half Fred Bukaty still were on the rosters of professional clubs. Hageman and Schick are with the NFL Washington Redskins; Bukaty with the Denver Broncos.
FUTURE PLANS FOR THE cricket squad include formal instruction. "The weather will not permit us to play much longer," Dalby said. "I am having some films sent from London that give instructional points on the game. During the winter we will study the game more thoroughly so we will be more proficient when spring comes. Most of the Americans on the team have never played the game before.
Dalby said. "We just get together to play cricket and we all have a good time. Cricket gives an excellent chance to promote international good will and mix cultures."
"WE ARE GETTING QUITE a response because of our newly formed cricket squad. People have been calling me on the phone badgering me all the time to let them play. After our next match with Kansas City we will probably split into A and B teams and play among ourselves."
Coach Dalby says he enjoys being badgered. If any students are interested in learning cricket he invites them to call him at VI3-1814.
By Bill Sheldon
Either the KU fourth team is a very good squad or the starters are nowhere near as outstanding as many people believed them to be at the start of football practice. This is a conclusion to be drawn from the showing in the unimpressive 19-6 victory the first three units posted over the reserves Saturday.
IN NO WAY WAS the starting unit effective enough to appear to be one of the best collegiate football teams in the nation. An aggregate of sophomores and untried upperclassmen was able to control the ball for long periods of time and also did a capable job containing what is supposed to be the best backfield in the Midwest.
If the Jayhawkers were to perform Saturday night against TCU as they did in the intra-squad scrimmage, there is little doubt that they would be totally embarrassed by the unset-hungry Horned Frogs.
ALTHOUGH THE JAYHAWKers were not at all impressive last Saturday, and the opening tussle is only four days away, all cannot be dispared.
Probably the greatest single reason for the lack of lustre in the play of the experienced players was that they are somewhat flat and showed the signs of weariness that are the result of the grueling two-a-day drills which preceded the opening of classes.
AFTER PRACTICING TWICE a day for two weeks the squad could not help but have a letdown. Possibly its low ebb has come and the spirit and effort will rise to the peak of last season.
With a team possessing an abundance of innate talent such as Head Coach Jack Mitchell's Hawkers, it seems only obvious that it cannot be held below par for long. This leaves a further question: will the Jays be able to pull themselves together well enough and fast enough to pound out a victory over a big, strong opening opponent like Texas Christian?
Unless the Hawkers have been reading their press clippings more than they have been hitting the practice dummies, there should be little doubt that KU's eleven will remain among the top 10 squads in the country after the first full afternoon of play.
Sports Car Club to Meet
The first meeting of the KU Sports Car Club will be Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Sunday the club will hold its initial rallye of the fall season, which is planned for the next three months.
