Highlights of KU Scrimmage
SWEEPING END—Senior letterman Ron end as Larry Lousch (74) from Coldwater Michaels from Hiawatha dashes around right streaks downfield for a block.
SQUEEZE PLAY — Armand Baughman and Willis Brooks, both sophomores from Hutchinson, are at it again. This time Jay Roberts (59) comes up from behind to help on the tackle of Baughman who was one of the outstanding ball carriers of the scrimmage despite playing with the fourth unit. Pete Quatrochi (51) sneaks into the picture again as Head Coach Mitchell watches worriedly in the background.

WHAT? ME WORRY?—Coach Mitchell ponders the many problems of directing his Jayhawkers through the practice session, fully realizing that the opening game was just two short weeks away and there appeared to be a lot to do.
HE MUST LIKE IT — Junior letterman Pack St. Clair, playing his first scrimmage at his new left halfback position—he has been a quarterback and an end—skirts right end, cradling the pigskin in his outstretched hands as though it were an egg while Andy Graham (84 White) hustles across the gridiron in hopes of dropping an enemy tackler.
The Kansas Jayhawker football squad has been preparing for its opening game with the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University since Sept. 1 on the practice fields west of Allen Field House twice each day.
THE PICTURES ON THIS PAGE were taken during the second actual scrimmage and first attempt by the coaching staff to simulate game conditions. This "game" took place Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
Although the Whites took an easy win from the Blues, 49-0, the opposing teams were units comprised of the first three teams against the second three squads.
THE WORRIED LOOK ON THE FACE of Head Coach Jack Mitchell (lower left) reflects his concern about the play of his charges thus far in practice which he has described as: "We are still making too many errors, the type of things which will cost us football games."
