Mather Not Surprised As Varsity Wins 25-13
KU's varsity football team fought back from a 12-13 halftime deficit Saturday to overpower the challengers, composed of freshmen and transfers, on two last-half touchdowns, 25 to 13.
Playing before a Memorial Stadium crowd of about 1,500 persons in foggy, 40-degree weather, the challengers scored with scarcely three minutes gone in the game when freshman, quarterback Bob Marshall returned a punt 80 yards.
Varsity Moves Ahead
Their lead held until early in the second quarter when varsity quarterback Wally Strauch capped a sustained varsity drive by plunging over from the one for the touchdown.
Two plays following the kickoff, the challengers lashed back to grab the lead as Ernie Russell, transfer halfback from Western Reserve, took a handoff over guard and raced 64 yards to score. Homer Fleyd's left-footed kick went through the goal posts and the Reds led 13-12.
nistry
The veterans forged ahead with another touchdown about three minutes later after three penalties moved the ball from the 25 to the 1. The varsity, or Whites, had earlier recovered a fumble on the Red 43, from where John Francisco moved the ball to the 27.
Midway through the third quarter, the challengers drove for a third score after a centered ball had sailed over varsity punter Ted Rohde's head, but fumbles ended the drive.
Varsity Scores Again
The varsity's third score came after quarterback Wally Strauch hit Bill Bell on the 33 for a first down and on the following play Bell slipped past the secondary to take Straughs's pass for the winning touchdown. Straugh converted the extra point to make the score 19 to 13.
Following the kickoff, the challengers drove back as halfback Don Feller took Bob Marshall's pass to the varsity's 35. A few seconds later, injuries to Marshall and Floyd caused the drive to falter.

touchdown when challenger quarterback Tom Herzog fumbled on the three. After a five-yard penalty, John Trayer drove over the left side of the line on fourth down to score, when it looked as if the varsity was to be denied a second time.
The challengers made two more belated threats. The first came when Don Feller caught a pass on the White's 40. Two 15-yard penalties ended the drive. With about 3:48 left, Feller took another pass on the varsity's 43. Three incomplete passes ended the challenger's efforts for the day.
Coach Chuck Mather expresSED little surprise at the challengers' tenacious brand of play, explaining that the two teams had been fairly evenly provided with talent. He also was quite satisfied with both Saturday's game and spring practice as a whole, he said.
