Navy Tumbling Team To Appear at Halftime
The "Starflights," a top rebound tumbling team from the Naval Basic Training Command at Pensacola, Fla., will highlight the half-time activities at the TCU game Saturday. The team will also hold a clinic Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at Allen Field House.
The "Starflights" are one of the nation's top teams in tumbling and trampoline exhibitions. They have appeared on national television and are now touring the United States. The team, numbering about 15, is coached by Joseph Lowder.
Two standout members include Lt. J. G. "Rudy" Lattimore, 6-4, 218 pounds, and Mary L. Hutchins, the only female member of the all Navy team. Coach Lowder doubles as the clown in a comedy act on the trampoline.
Those wishing to attend the clinic on Saturday morning are invited to come to the field house and sit in the upper deck. The exhibition is free of charge and will last until about 10:30.
Mitchell Ranked 21st
Kansas football coach Jack Mitchell will open his fifth campaign at Mt. Oread, and his tenth overall, ranked 21st among active college coaches with seven or more years of service in a head job. His nine-year record at Wichita, Arkansas and Kansas reads 54-32-5-620.

CLEVELAND — (UPI) — The Cleveland Brown's and the Chicago Bears set a record for pro football on Nov. 25, 1951, when they were penalized a total of 374 yards in one game. The Brown's were penalized 209 yards and the Bears were assessed 165 yards in penalties.
The Kansas Jayhawkers renew a 19-year rivalry against Texas Christian University, one of the Southwest Conference's toughest teams, in the 1962 football season opener at Memorial Stadium.
Hawks Open 1962 Season Here Against Texas Christian
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m.
THE JAYHAWKERS have won but three games since the series was initiated in 1942. Three other games have ended in ties.
The last Jayhawker victory was here in 1960 when former TCU'er Bert Coan, now with the San Diego Chargers professional team, led a spirited KU eleven to a 21-7 victory
Previous to that victory, Kansas had not won since 1952 when Gil Reich passed the Jayhawkers to a 13-0 victory that was televised.
THE JAYHAWKERS' largest margin of victory against the Horned Frogs was a 27-13 win in 1951. The Frogs, however, have defeated the Jayhawkers handily on three occasions, 41-6 in 1942, 47-14 in 1955 and 42-0 in 1958.
Last year at Fort Worth, Texas Christian upset a Jayhawker applecart that included everybody's favorite for the Big Eight title and several high national rankings, one of which placed the Jayhawkers as the nation's best.
A reserve halfback inflicted the principal damage. Jerry Spearman connected on his first collegiate field goal with 4:28 remaining in the fourth quarter to defeat KU 17-16. The field goal covered 36 yards.
TEXAS CHRISTIAN, behind 16-7 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, capitalized on quarterback Sonny Gibbs' passing to stage the fourth quarter rally.

Gibbs, who will start at quarterback for the Horned Frogs Saturday, accounted for 78 of 80 yards covered in their second touchdown drive.
Gibbs set up Spearman's field goal attempt with a screen pass to returning fullback Tommy Crutcher, which accounted for 15 yards.
"I would say Sonny is the best all-around quarterback I have ever had," says TCU coach Abe 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."
THE JAYHAWKERS are expected to be without the services of the Bluebonnet Bowls most valuable player, fullback Ken Coleman. Coleman became first string backfull midway through his sophomore year and rushed for 656 vards. He tied returning quarterback Rodger McFarland for second in team scoring with 42 points. Most remarkable was that he did not lose yardage in 130 consecutive carries.
