Defensive Backfield Player Looks Forward to Wrestling
One of the happiest persons over the announcement that wrestling would be added to the KU athletic program as a varsity sport this year was Phil Doughty, starting defensive halfback for the Jayhawkers in football.
Doughty, 5-11, 170 pounds, wrestled last year in four meets on a club basis. KU lost three of those meets, but Doughty expects improvement and growth for the sport here in the future.
The Olewein, Ia., senior had a personal victory of one victory, one loss, one draw and a third place finish in the AAU meet in the 167-pound class last year.
"WRESTLING IS a good sport for football players," Doughty said. "It's a rough sport.
"One thing I like about it is that it's an individual sport, but still you have to work for a team, too. "It helps your reactions. The whole thing is contact."
THIS EVENING... By Roy Miller
YOU GET THE idea Doughty likes contact. Asked if any one play stood out in his mind from his duties in the KU defensive backfield. Doughty described a tackle he made in KU's game last year at Iowa State.
"If Marsh ever hit anyone, he'd kill 'em." Mitchell said and then proceeded to demonstrate the style that has made Marsh a Golden Gloves champion.
Monday, Coach Bud Wilkinson said "we're probably not as good as Kansas."
Asked yesterday about Wilkinson's statement, Mitchell said it was "silly."
With tongue in cheek, he told one reporter:
"We must have improved a lot in 24 hours."
ASKED WHAT he thought of
Joe Don Looney's dismissal from
the Sooner squad, Mitchell had no
comment.
"It's none of my business what Oklahoma does," Mitchell said. "I shouldn't say anything."
Looney was dismissed from the team because of disciplinary reasons. The Fort Worth, Tex., senior led the Sooners in rushing last season with 852 yards and led the nation in punting with a 43.4-yard average.
He rankd fifth nationally in rushing and led LED in scoring with 10 touchdowns and 62 points. He ran 61 yards for the tying touchdown here against KU as the Sooners went on to win, 13-7.
"I had a chance to put my helmet in one of their end's backs," he said. "I flipped him end over end and he had to be taken out of the game."
"Oklahoma just had a bad day." Jack Scofield, an assistant KU coach, said after scouting the Sooners' 28-7 loss to Texas Saturday.
"They are much better than that."
Doughty, one of the team's fastest members, isn't the only football player who doubles in wrestling. Others are Fred Elder and Gary Duff, who was a state champion for Salina High School.
Doughty, who started wrestling as a seventh-grader, is most afraid of Jim Grisham, Oklahoma fullback, in regard to KU's game at Norman Saturday.
"THAT GRISHAM is a power runner and he'll really kill us.
"But, I think we'll be much more ready to play these guys than we've been the last three games."
★★
Since wrestling and boxing are similar sports, it might not hurt mentioning Coach Jack Mitchell put on somewhat of a boxing demonstration after his team's football practice yesterday.
The demonstration, in a roundabout way, was prompted by a scuffle between Willie Rav Smith and Karl Sartore. Mitchell explained it was his policy to let squad members settle their differences without interference.
HE THEN THOUGHT of one exception—Ron Marsh.
