KLAHOMA A & M
The University of Kansas football team, still shocked by the 46-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of K-State last week, will host the Oklahoma A & M Cowboys tomorrow and attempt to get back in the good grace of Kansas fans. Kickoff time is 2 p.m.

The Cowpokes, suffering a season as disastrous as that of the Jayhawkers, own a 1-6 record. However, by virtue of the overwhelming defeat handed KU Saturday, the Oklahomaans are a solid six point favorite. A&M's lone victory was over Tulsa, 14 to 0.
Lansford Is Threat
Fullback Earl Lunsford is the main offensive threat of the Cowboys. Lunsford, who scored two touchdowns in leading the Aggies to a 47-12 victory over Kansas last year, is one of the leading rushers in the Missouri Valley.
Adding to the punch of the Okla-
ahoma team's offense will be Keith
Kashwer and Harvey Romans, two
halfbacks that dealt KU misery last
year. Another star performer for Cliff
Speagle's Aggies is quarterback Tom Pontious. Pontious is A&M's passing threat when the Cowpokes run out of a spread formation. A&M runs chiefly out of a belly-series.
The Cowpokes will be shooting for their third straight victory of the series, something they haven't accomplished since the beginning of the series in 1923. KU owns a 9-4 advantage in the series.
KU Spirit Improving
Coach Chuck Mather sent his Jayhawker team through light dummy practice earlier this week, working mainly on a defense for the Aggies, and then went into heavy scrimmage the past two days. The main problem in the Kansas camp has been that of developing an effective defense for A&M's spread formation.
RC Spirit Improving
Mather reports that the team's spirit is "gradually improving" after the mauling by Kansas State last week. "The shock is just beginning to wear off," the KU coach said. "The boys will be out to get this one."
For the first time since the opening game this season, KU will operate with their complete first team backfield. Wally Strauch will be running the team at quarterback, Dick Reich, cocaptain of the Hawks, who has been on the injury list since the Oklahoma game, will start at full-back, and the halfbacks will be John Francisco and Dick Blowey. The Jayhawker center situation which reached an acute point early this week when starter Frank Black was announced lost for the season because of a neck injury was dealt another setback yesterday when third team center Ray Eower injured a knee.
This leaves Galen Wahlmeier and Norman Redd to handle the
Lynn McCarthy and Jim Letcavits, both of whom have been on the injury list the past two weeks, will start at ends. Letcavitis broke a bone in his hand in the Nebraska game. He is the leading KU pass receiver and his appearance should be a big help in the passing attack.
center chores. Walhmeier, who has started the past two games and played nearly 60 minutes in each, will get the nod Saturday. John Drake has been converted from tackle to center to add depth.
Completing the starting eleven will be Frank Gibson and Gene Blasi at tackles and George Remsberg and Don Pfutzenreuter at guards.
2 Independents Win Intramurals
Pearson pushed across a touchdown in the third quarter on a pass from Bob Moya to Ronald Groening to down Sigma Gamma Epsilon, 7 to 0.
Two games were played in intramural "A" football yesterday, with Pearson and Battenfield Halls victorious.
In the other game, Battenfeld beat Jim Beam 13 to 0. Battenfield's Roy Arnold intercepted a pass on the second play of the game and ran 50 yards for a touchdown to give Battenfield a 6 to 0 lead. The winners added another TD in the second half on a short pass from Ed Wall to Loren Lusk. Fraternity "B" Results:
'We'll Take 'Em As They Come,' Says Phog
Phi Gam II 13, Delta Chi 6
"We'll take every game as it comes," were the wise words of Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, KU basketball coach. The first on the schedule is the Homecoming game with Coach Dick Harp's freshman outfit next Friday. "We'll be lucky to win that one," Allen said.
Coach Allen plans to use a new set of plays for the frosh-varsity contest in an effort to offset the freshmen advantage in height, namely, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, 7-foot giant from Philadelphia. "Our biggest boy is Lew Johnson and he's only 6-."
Allen Likes Progress
Outside the lack of height, Dr. Allen is pleased with the players' progress thus far. "The spirit is fine and the boys are working hard. Barring unforeseen injuries, we'll be ready to go by the fifth." KU's first game is with Northwestern on Dec. 5.
After the freshman game "Phog" plans to have Chamberlain practice with the varsity. This will give center Lew Johnson a chance to work out against a bigger man.
Johnson, currently working at center, was last season's leading rebounder with 230. Coach Allen plans to experiment with Bill Brainard at this position also. "We may switch Johnson to a forward slot and use Bill at center because this is where he plays best." Brainard tallied 221 points last year and pulled down 105 rebounds.
In the other forward position is Gene Elstun. He was second in last season's scoring parade with 299 points, only 18 behind the leader, Dallas Dobbs, and was second in the rebound department with 186.
Dobbs Top Scorer
At the guards, Allen is using Captain Dallas Dobbs and Maurice King. Dobbs, the best back-court shot artist on the club, led last season's Jayhawkers in scoring with 317 points. His backcourt partner, King, was an early season starter last year and is a top

Track Squads To 2 Meets
Kansas' varsity and junior-varsity cross-country teams will both meet stiff opposition in meets this weekend.
The varsity will seek its ninth consecutive Big Seven cross-country crown tomorrow at Ames. Running for the varsity squad will be Al Frame, Bobby Nicholson, Jerry McNeal, Bernie Gay, and Jan Howell.
The junior-varsity will meet Baker University tomorrow on the latter's two-mile track. KU's team will consist of Lowell Janzen, Grant Cookson, Verlyn Schmidt, Paul Baker, and Bob Cormack.
Future meets for the junior-varsity include a dual with Pittsburg State Teachers Colliere next week, and a return meet with Baker here on Nov. 22.
The only other meet that the junior-varsity had scheduled resulted in a 16-46 victory for KU over Pittsburgh State.
prospect, according to Allen. He's speedy and will help the Jays on the boards.
for reserves, Dr. Allen has Blaine Hollinger, John Parker, and Eddie Dater at guards, Ron Johnson, Lee Green, and Bob Lockley at forwards, and Gary Mowry at center. Dater is a junior college graduate while Lockley and Mowry are promising sonbomores.
Coach Allen expects the Big Seven race to be a nip-and-tuck battle between five teams.
As an added incentive during practice, a prize is being awarded to the boy with the best foul shot-ing record. With the new one-and-one rule the first shot is being stressed.
Phog To Attend Big 7 Basketball Meeting
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen will attend a meeting of Big Seven basketball coaches and officials tomorrow at the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City.
The purpose of the meeting is to make up the Big Seven basketball schedule for 1956-57 and to discuss rule interpretations.
