Upsets by League Teams Don't Surprise Mitchell
By Roy Miller (Sports Editor)
The professor of international politics, dressed in a wool suit and smoking a pipe, paced back and forth in front of his desk.
He was talking to two of his students. The one wearing a black knit shirt was from Pakistan. The other, wearing a flannel shirt and dark-rimmed glasses, was from Japan.
The professor and his students weren't discussing problems of population in Japan or India's relations with Pakistan.
INSTEAD, THE subject they were discussing was the same one being talked over almost every other place and by almost everyone else—or so it seemed yesterday.
"What happened to Colorado?" cur political science professor asked one of his students.
"I DIDN'T THINK Syracuse would lose to Kansas," the other foreign student added to the discussion.
"Oklahoma really took care of Southern California, didn't they," the student from Pakistan said.
A few minutes later the professor was behind his podium, lecturing on the spiraling arms race.
But his thoughts may have still been on Saturday when Oklahoma upset the No.1 rated team in the nation. Southern California; Missouri knocked off No.8 ranked Arkansas; Nebraska defeated the Big Ten's Minnesota; Iowa State beat Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and KU university.
Most fans and observers seemed surprised by the general success of teams of the Big Eight over the weekend. But only one of the games surprised Jack Mitchell, KU's football coach.
"I PICKED every one of them right." Mitchell said yesterday, in the coaches dressing room in Allen Field House. "I felt Southern California was over-rated.
"And, I've said all along Misc-
courius better than Arkansas.
souri was better than Arkansas. "The one that really surprised me was our game. That was the biggest upset.
"I'm not saying the Big Eight didn't do a good job. It's just that the league is so strong, it was expected."

passing attack. The Cowboys completed 13 of 24 passing attempts for 185 yards and two touchdowns against Utah State Saturday.
Mitchell said yesterday he is most concerned over Wyoming's
The Cowboys opened their season with a 35-0 victory over Montana State and defeated Utah State Saturday, 21-14.
"Films of the Syracuse game confirmed we had the greatest team effort I've ever seen," Mitchell said. "I don't know how long we can keep it up.
"WYOMING COULD be a shook.
They could be as good as :yracuse.
Utah State was surposed to be as good as Syracuse.
"We don't know whether we're better than Syracuse, or it was luck, a fluke. But, if we're able to give that kind of an effort every week, we'll be hard to beat."
Brian Schweda yesterday regained his starting position at left tackle from Richard Pratt. Bob Robben returned to right end ahead of Larry Fairchild on the second team.
"They scramble like mad on defense and they're quick and fast," Jack Scofield, a KU assistant coach who scouted the Wyoming-Utah State game, said. Scofield said the Cowboys had eight to nine players in on every tackle.
Gale Sayers, KU's right half-back, needs only six yards rushing against Wyoming to become No. 6 on the list of all-time Jayhawk rushers. The pre-season all-America has gained 190 yards in KU's first two games, bringing his career total to 1,315.
Fumble prevention will be emphasized in practices this week, Mitchell said yesterday. The Jayhawks, who lost several key fumbles against Syracuse, lost the ball only seven times all last season on fumbles.
In just two games this season KU fumbles have been recovered six times by opposing players.

Touch Football
There are at least two sure things in Lawrence every fall.
For one, Lawrence High School will win all its football games and finish as the No.1 rated team in the state. And, for another sure thing, Beta Theta Pi fraternity will win the A Hill championship in intramural touch football.
Betas Never Lose
The Betas will be trying for their sixth consecutive championship this year. But, with only three returning lettermen (yes, they even have their own lettermen), the team is taking a wait and see attitude about this year's possibilities.
The Beta's domination doesn't end with the A division. The fraternity's B team will be trying for its fifth consecutive championship.
Bill Geiger, Leavenworth junior, is coach of New York Yankees of KU intramurals. The other returnees besides Geiger are John McCormick, Bartlesville, Okla., senior, and Bob Swan, Topeka senior.
The Betas started their winning ways in 1936 with a title in the B division. Seven A Hill trophies were in the Beta trophy case before the current streak began in 1958.
Geiger attributes the team's success to "full house participation." He said only two members are physical education majors.
The team takes the competition seriously. Try-outs begin during orientation week. Practices are held daily before the season begins Oct. 8 when the Betas play Phi Kappa Theta.
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Nu jumped off to opening round wins in Fraternity "A" touch football intramurals yesterday.
