Letcavits, McCarthy Out Saturday; Reich Due Back
Kansas suffered a blow to its end corps for Saturday's game with Kansas State when it was announced that both Jim Letecavits and Lynn McCarthy will be out of action. Letecavits has a broken hand and McCarthy is suffering from an arm injury. Both are sophomores and have been starters most of the season.
Replacing the pair will be senior ends Paul Smith and Don Martin. Both Smith and Martin have turned in fine performances all season. Junior end Bill Bell also will take up some of the slack left by the loss of Letcvits and McCarthy.
On the brighter side of the picture, Coach Mather announced that failback Dick Reich and center Frank Black will be ready for action Saturday. Reich has been sidelined with a knee injury and Black missed the Nebraska game with a neck injury.
Yesterday the team worked on pass defense and rushing offense in dummy drills. Coach Mather plans to keep the contact work to a minimum in an attempt to avoid injuries.

Pirates Pick Bobby Bragan
The Pittsburg Pirates have chosen Bobby Bragan as their 1955 field manager, replacing Fred Haney, who resigned over a month ago.
Bragan signed a one-year contract to manage the Pirates, moving up from a similar position with the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast league. He inherits a club that finished in the cellar last year, but looked to be definitely on the upgrade at the end of the season.
Bragan said he would pick his own coaches, adding that he intends to retain Clyde Sukeforth, and that he is "strong" for George Sisler, another likely choice.
Burnine took the lead as a result of a great day against Colorado Saturday. The lanky senior gathered in seven of the Tiger's nine completions in their 20-12 upset of Colorado.
Burnine Top Pass Receiver In Nation
The big day gave Burnine the lead in both the number of receptions and in total yardage gained.
Hank Burnine, senior end from the University of Missouri, has taken over the lead in the NCAA pass-catching race with 30 catches good for a total of 409 yards.
Wilkinson Fears MU Quarterback
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.)-Bud Wilkinson, always gloomy coach at Oklahoma, said today that Missouri with quaterback Jimmy Hunter on the field poses as big a threat to the Sooners' winning streak as any team this season.
"If you lose a quarterback early in the season it is difficult to rearrange things," Wilkinson said. "With Hunter, a 19-year-old, 194-pound quarterback, Missouri won its first game of the year against Colorado last Saturday, 20-12.
It also was with Hunter that Missouri played mighty Maryland to a 13-12 near upset opening the season. Hunter hurt a leg in the Maryland game.
