Ex-Quarterback Paul Smith Strengthens KU End Corps
Bothered By Injuries
To bolster KU's manpower at the end position, Paul Smith, Paola senior, was converted from quarterback in spring practice of 1954. And bolster it he has. In Jim Letecavits and Smith, the Jayhawkers have a soil one-two punch at the right flank.
Bothered By Injuries
After being plagued by a knee injury, Paul rounded into form the latter part of last season and played good ball games against Oklahoma A&M and Missouri. He severely sprained his ankle this spring and missed practice, but has come back this fall to give a good account of himself.
SMITH
Earlier this season, Coach Chuck Mather attributed Levcats' fine play to competition furnished by Smith. End Coach Dick Piskoty agrees with Mather and conversely, believes Smith has developed through Levcats. As he put it, "It's just
human nature that when two players so evenly matched compete against each other, they'll both improve."
Paul is one person who's anticipating trouble from the Oklahome Aggies Saturday. "They've

had a bad season and will feel this is a game they can win," he said. "We'll probably see their best game of the season," added the serious senior, Smith, well remembers Aggies fullback "Earthquake" Lunsford as he ran roughshod over Kansas last season at Stillwater.
Smith was a 10 letter winner at Paola High School, getting three letters each in football and track, and four in basketball. He threw the javelin and discus in track and was quarterback on the football squad.
Smith labels McDonald of Oklahoma, Greenlaw of Nebraska, and Swink of TCU as the best backs KU has faced. The Sooners' Bolinger and Nery of Kansas State stand out in his mind as the best linemen.
Of the K-State nightmare last week, Paul said, "The players were as bewildered as the fans. Both teams were on edge at the start of the game, but while they lost their nervousness after scoring that first touchdown, ours went from a nervous state to flustered."
Paul, a business major, is a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
They Just Wouldn't Stop
The Kansas-K-State game at Manhattan in 1944 didn't officially end until 15 minutes after the final gun. Jay halfback Charlie Moffet fled 82 yards as the 20-clutch ran out for an apparent 20-18 victory. A clipping penalty at the K-State 18 yard line nullified the touch-down. An official who didn't see his mate's red flag had to be summoned from the dressing room for the final play, upon which Kansas netted seven yards from the State 32.

As is the policy on the Kansan, the staff changes hands at the middle of the semester. Well, that time is now and we have taken over the job of putting out the sports pages from John McMillion, who has gone on to bigger things.

Though the football situation this season has been nothing to brag about, we will continue the coverage of football through the last two games and hope for the best. We'll try our hand at picking a few, too.
We're looking forward to basketball season with no small measure of optimism. Of course, with players like Dallas Dobbs, Lew Johnson, Bill Brainard, and the others an optimistic viewpoint is easy to come by. The game that we are most looking forward to, however, is the Varsity-Freshman game Nov. 18, at which time we will get our first good look at Wilt Chamberlain in action.
We ask our readers to bear with us for the first few days at our new job. By then, most of the kinks should be worked out and things should begin to roll.

It has come to light that there are three Kansas teams within the top ten of the nation in one kind of statistics. No laurres, please, however. Kansas State, Kansas, and Wichita all rank high in the number of fumbles lost this season. Army leads the field, K-State is second,
