By Steve Clark
Another football season swings into full action Saturday and a favorite sportswriter' pastime is to stick his neck into a noose tied to an "Old Hanging Tree' with the scoop on who's going to win.
MISSOURI-CALIFORNIA. This one tells the story of how good the Tigers really are. Coach Dan Devine's "dandies" are almost everyone's favorites to win the Big Eight. Too bad, but California does not have a thing, MISSOURI by three touchdowns.
KANSAS-TEXAS CHRISTIAN:
This is the big one as far as Jayhawker fans are concerned. "General Jack" Mitchell says we're not doing so good. The Texans are supposed to be big, just like everything else in Texas. Well, we think that old adage "the bigger they come, the harder they fall" might be proved in Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawkers will play "Alaska" and overcome the Texans' size, KANSAS by one touchdown.
With neck firmly placed this daring prognosticator commences his assault on the future.
OKLAHOMA-SYRACUSE: The "Big Red" are hoping to be at the top after several dismal years. They will not do it opening against Syracuse, Notre Dame and Texas. The loss of Tommy Pannell at quarterback did not help the Sooners' chances. It will be close, but SYRACUSE by one touchdown.
OKLAHOMA STATE-ARKANSAS: The Razorbacks of Arkansas have developed quite a powerhouse the past several years. OSU has had football difficulties since entering the Big Eight. This year will be no exception, ARKANSAS by three touchdowns.
KANSAS STATE-INDIANA: The Wildcats have again decided to field a football team. Why? No one knows. The Cats walk to the plate with three strikes against them. They should give up, but won't. Indiana is far from a powerhouse, but should have no trouble handing the Wildcats their first of many defeats this year. INDIANA by three touchdowns.
IOWA STATE-OREGON STATE:
The former "Dirty Thirty," now the
"Soddy Sixty" barely made it past
Drake Saturday. The Cyclones were
the top choice for the "Cinderella
Team of the Big Eight Award" but
have not shown it thus far. Never-
theless we will stick with the pre-season dope, IOWA STATE by two touchdowns.
NEBRASKA-SOUTH DAKOTA: The Cornhuskers might as well open with a high school team rather than to play South Dakota. If Bill (Thunder) Thornton and Company cannot bank this team good, they should stick to intramurals. We must give credit to an initiative South Dakota athletic director for scheduling this game. Hope the Dakota team will be able to survive this one physically, NEBRASKA by six touchdowns or more.
COLORADO-UTAH: Last year Utah kept the Buffaloes from having a perfect year. It will not be remembered by this year's Buffaloes since few remain from last year's team. They have departed, some by graduation, most by NCAA ineligibility. Former coach Sonny Grandelius is gone too. He was naughty. Now the alumni relations director is coach. His name is Bud Davis, if that means anything. We give this one to the UTES, by two touchdowns.
'Kansas—Here We Come'
California's Nov. 17 date here will mark the Bears' first Mt. Oread football appearance in history. Kansas enjoyed its most productive offensive day of the season, rolling for 406 net yards overland in riding down the Bears. 53-7, last year at Berkeley, in the opener of this home-and-home series.
Here are the probable starting lineups for the Kansas Jayhawkers' season opener against Texas Christian University Saturday in Memorial Stadium.

Ken Coleman, sidelined last week with a leg injury, returned to KU football practice yesterday. But, his reappearance did little to relieve the gloom hovering over the Jayhawker camp as they prepared for the season's first game Saturday with Texas Christian.
Bob Lawson, who accepted the head coaching job at Iowa State, has been replaced by Dean Brittenham as assistant track and cross country coach.
Lettermen, May Offset Losses
Brittenham, a graduate of Nebraska, comes to KU after four years of high school track coaching at Bakersfield, Calif.
A group of six lettermen and three promising sophomores will have to offset graduation losses of three of the top five men from last year's Kansas Jayhawker cross country team if several records are to be maintained.
Easton feels his squad will have ability, but confesses that there is room for improvement.
Going into the 1962 season, KU has won 14 of 15 league cross country crowns, has a 38 consecutive dual meet win record, and boasts a record of 59 triumphs in the last 62 dual meets.
"We'll have to be in top condition for the Southern Illinois meet, or they'll whip us." Easton said, looking at the Jayhawker nonconference opponents. "They have some English boys who are more advanced than our boys."
THE SEASON, which opens Oct. 6 when Coach Bill Easton's crew runs Southern Illinois, finds KU without its number one, two and four men of last season: Bill Dotson, Bill Thornton and Dan Ralston.
Coach Easton terms the coming season as "very difficult." He believes Colorado will be the league power. The Buffs, who tied for second in the conference meet last year with Oklahoma State, returned every team member from that squad.
Returning from last year are Charlie Hayward, captain, Mike Fulghum, Ted Riesinger, Paul Acvevedo, George Cabrera, and Tonnie Coane. Kirk Hagan, who participated as a sophomore, will compete this year.
Sophomores, the products of last year's Big Eight postal championship team, include Herald Hadley, Bill Cottle and Gary Janzen.
- "Coleman is real questionable," said Coach Jack Mitchell. His hip looks bad. We're in trouble at full-back."
AND, THE FULLBACK worries do not end with Coleman, considered one of KU's "leading men," by Mitchell. Willis Brooks, secondstring fullback last week, re-injured his shoulder in Saturday's scrimmage.
The Jayhawkers are left with three eligible fullbacks. The three are Armand Baughman, Mike Woolf and Dennis Liggett, all sophomores.
THE ONLY PLAYER changes made after Saturday's serimmage were at quarterback. Phil Doughty moved up to the first team, Brian Palmer and Charles Hess were switched to the second unit, and Con Keating was demoted to the third string.
Should Coleman be held out of the TCU game here, Baughman will presumably get the startling call. Woolf and Liggett, in that order, will be in reserve.
Mitchell, fearful of the passing abilities of Sonny Gibbs, TCU's All America quarterback, said pass defense would receive concentrated attention this week. Mitchell described the KU pass defense yesterday as "a little better."
Doughty, 170-pound sophomore, will be used primarily on defense, Mitchell said yesterday. Palmer, who jumped to the second unit from the number four position, earned his spot after he threw a touchdown pass in Saturday's scrimmage on an 11-yard play and set up another score with a pass play that covered 69 yards.
CO-CAPTAIN Ken Tiger boosted the KU line when he reported back to practice after suffering a leg injury last week. Mitchell believes Tiger will be set for the TCU game.
The injured list now includes Brooks, Mike O'Brien, who suffered a pulled leg muscle, and Karl Sartore, who has a severe thigh bruise.
Nevers Never Quit
Boston Game at Night
DULUTH, Minn.—(UPI) —Ernie Nevers turned in one of football's greatest "iron-man" feats. While playing for the 1926-27 Duluth Eskimos, one of the earliest professional teams, Nevers missed less than 30 minutes of play during a 28-game barnstorming tour within a five-months stretch.
KU's lone night football game for 1962 is a Sept. 29 date against Boston U. at Boston. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight time, which is 6 p.m. Lawrence time. The Jay-hawkers won the only other meeting with BU here in 1959, as Lee Flachsbarth, then a sophomore quarterback, unwound 176 pass-run yards to pace a 28-7 victory.
KU will play its 19th consecutive opener against Texas Christian here September 22. The Jayhawkers and Horned Frogs have been playing curtain-raisers since 1944 with the Purple logging a 13-3-3 edge. The Southwesterners will be presenting the biggest All America quarter-back candidate in the land in 6-7, 250-pound Sonny Gibbs.
TCU 19th Season Opener
ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DOLLAR
With today's entry I begin my ninth year of writing columns in your school newspaper for the makers of Northern California.
Nine years, I believe you will agree, is a long time. In fact, it took only a little longer than nine years to dig the Suez Canal, and you know what a gigantic undertaking that was! To be sure, the work would have gone more rapidly had the shovel been invented at that time, but, as we all know, the shovel was not invented until 1946 by Walter R. Shovel of Cleveland, Ohio. Before Mr. Shovel's discovery in 1946, all digging was done with sugar tongs—a method unquestionably dainty but hardly what one would call rapid. There were, naturally, many efforts made to speed up digging before Mr. Shovel's breakthrough—notably an attempt in 1912 by the immortal Thomas Alva Edison to dig with the phonograph, but the only thing that happened was that he got his horn full of sand. This so depressed Mr. Edison that he fell into a fit of melancholy from which he did not emerge until two years later when his friend William Wordsworth, the eminent nature poet, cheered him up by imitating a duck for four and a half hours.
But I digress. For nine years, I say, I have been writing this column for the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, and for nine years they have been paying me money. You are shocked. You think that anyone who has tasted Marlboro's unparalleled flavor, who has enjoyed Marlboro's filter, who has revelled in Marlboro's jolly red and white pack or box should be more than willing to write about Marlboro without a penny's compensation. You are wrong.
Compensation is the very foundation stone of the American Way of Life. Whether you love your work or hate it, our system absolutely requires that you be paid for it. For example, I have a friend named Rex Gglebe, a veterinarian by profession, who simply adores to worm dogs. I mean you can叫 him up and say, "Hey, Rex, let's go bowl a few lines," or "Hey, Rex, let's go flatten some pennies on the railroad tracks," and he will always reply, "No, thanks. I better stay here in case somebody wants a dog wormed." I mean there is not one thing in the whole world you can name that Rex likes better than worming a dog. But even so, Rex always sends a bill for worming your dog because in his wisdom he knows that to do otherwise would be to rend, possibly irreparably, the fabric of democracy.
It's the same with me and Marlboro Cigarettes. I think Marlboro's flavor represents the pinnacle of the tobaccoist's art. I think Marlboro's filter represents the pinnacle of the filter-maker's art. I think Marlboro's pack and box represent the pinnacle of the packager's art. I think Marlboro is a pleasure and a treasure, and I fairly burst with pride that I have been chosen to speak for Marlboro on your campus. All the same, I want my money every week. And the makers of Marlboro understand this full well. They don't like it, but they understand it.
In the columns which follow this opening installment, I will turn the hot white light of truth on the pressing problems of campus life—the many and varied dilemmas which beset the undergraduate—burning questions like "Should Chaucer classrooms be converted to parking garages?" and "Should proctors be given a saliva test?" and "Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom?"
And in these columns, while grappling with the crises that vex campus America, I will make occasional brief mention of Marlboro Cigarettes. If I do not, the makers will not give me any money. © 1962 Max Shulman
The makers on Marlboro will bring you this uncensored, free-style column 26 times throughout the school year. During this period it is not unlikely that Old Max will step on some toes—principally ours—but we think it's all in fun and we hope you will too.
