Hawks Visit K-State Tomorrow
Parents' Day, Editors' Day — and Jayhawkers' Day — will be held in Kansas State's Memorial Stadium tomorrow.
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m.
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers are currently riding the crest of a wave that swept them to a come-from-behind victory over Oklahoma State last Saturday, 36-17.
ON THE OTHER HAND, Coach Doug Weaver's Kansas State Wildcats have lost all six games this season and are in the throes of a 14-game losing streak. Last weekend the Cats were drubbed by Oklahoma. 47-0.
The question is not whether the Hawkers will win. The question is, what will be the margin of victory?
KU's physical condition is improving—but slowly. Starting right guard and All America nominee Ken Tiger has returned to the "Big Blue" lineup. He has seen only limited action during the past three weeks because of an ankle injury.
In addition, the three members of the second unit interior line who have seen only limited action against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State — guards Duke Collins and Wally Barnes, and center Kent Converse — will be ready for full-time duty this weekend.
THE PURPLE defenders will have to keep an eye on the Hawker backfield, too.
Recently nominated for All America honors by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA),
quarterback Rodger McFarland and T-back Gale Sayers should be out to improve their potential billings tomorrow.
McFarland, a run-pass option threat, has gained 247 yards in 82 rushes, and has completed 21 of 45 passes for 293 more.
Sayers enjoyed the best day of his collegiate career last Saturday as he gained 283 yards in 22 carries to set a new Big Eight single game rushing mark. Among Sayers' dashes last week were carriers of 96, 69, and 33 yards, which boosted him to the front of the conference rushing race. The Omaha T-back has racked up 709 yards in rushes, 87 yards better than conference runner-up Johnny Roland of Missouri.

Top Mexican Driver Killed in Accident
Mexico City — (UPI) — "Don't let me die . . . please don't let me die."
Those were the last words uttered by 21-year-old Ricardo Rodriguez, the world's most promising sports car driver, after he cracked up yesterday in speed trials for Mexico's first Grand Prix race Sunday.
The idol of Mexican teen-agers lost control of his Lotus car, hit a railing and turned over several times on the final, steep turn at the Sports City Track.
He was dead on arrival at Ealbuena Hospital.
A rundown on the teams playing this afternoon follows:
SIGMA NU — In their only loss of the season, the Sigma Nu's were defeated by the Phi Delts, 20-0. The team is led by Rich Johnson, a 220-pound, 6-2 right halfback, Hutchinson senior; Tom Hunter, 135, 5-10, quarterback, Des Moines, Iowa junior, and Tom Reed, 185, 6-0 left halfback, Des Moines, Iowa, junior.
SAE — The Betas defeated the SAE crew, 20-7, for their only loss of the season. Quarterback Mike Mason, Omaha junior, and end Jim Meyer, Alton, Ill., junior, led the SAE offensive attack.
PHI GAMS — The DU's hande the Fijis their only loss of the season, 13-0. Top Phi Gam players are Steve Wickliff, Mission senior, a guard; Harvey Martin, Salina senior, an end and team captain, and Fred Exline, Salina senior, the blocking back.
**PHI DELTS** — Yesterday the Phi Psi's were the first team to score against the undefeated Phi Delts, but the Phi Delts romped, 46-7. The

In addition to Weaver's problem, the K-State offense is not overly impressive. In fact, the Purple has scored only one touchdown all year (in the Nebraska game which State lost, 26-6), while the opponents have run rampant through the 'Cat defense for 173 points.
Putting it mildly, Coach Weaver's charges have their backs to the wall. Kansas currently has a six-game winning streak in the series between the two teams which dates back to 1902. The Wildcats have not won since they whipped KU at Lawrence, 46-0, in 1955. Kansas has the edge in victories, 39-17-3,
Tomorrow the Hawkers should break 40.
ALBANY, N.Y. — (UPI)— When Mrs. Katherine Soukek, 67, became separated from her husband and friends yesterday while mushroom hunting, her companions notified state police who organized a search by 100 volunteers.

And Kansas State will have plenty of trouble with this array of backs. Coach Weaver and his staff admit that the Wildcats' biggest problem is defense. Kansas State has not stopped any opponent long enough to get possession of the ball.
sharing the fullbacking chores with Armand Baughman, also turned in a creditable performance last Saturday. Coleman picked up 57 yards rushing, and now needs a net of 75 yards gained tomorrow to reach the coveted 1000-yard career rushing mark. He has 269 yards rushing this season, and paced the club in that department last year as a sonhomore with 656.
Nine hours later word came that Mrs. Sowek was safe at home. She said she couldn't find her husband's car and decided to walk home—20 miles away.
Baughman, also a junior, scored the first two touchdowns of his collegiate career last weekend against O-State. Baughman will start tomorrow if Kansas receives — Coleman, if the Hawkers kick off.
Interviews will be held on Nov. 9,1962 on the campus.See your placement office now for an appointment
