Letcavits To Miss K-State Game; Reich, Baker Healing
The injury situation is clearing up for the Kansas football team but a few are still hanging on.
That's the report of Coach Chuck Mather who is pointing his Jay-hawkers toward this Saturday's game against Kansas State in Memorial Stadium Saturday. Dick Reich and Jerry Baker, first and second string fullbacks worked out lightly in pads and may be ready to play by Saturday. There is also some hope for Frank Black first string center who was held out of action last week with a neck strain.
Jim Letcavits, first string right end was the only serious casualty in the Nebraska contest Saturday
at Lincoln. He has a broken bone in his left hand that is expected to keep him out of action Saturday.
The regulars took only a light workout yesterday with more action planned for this afternoon's drills.
Pitcher John Taylor of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1904 hurled 352 consecutive innings without relief.
Wahlmeier 60-Minute Man At NU
"A good rough football player who has tremendous desire," guard-center coach Dave Putts says of Galen Wahlmeier, varsity center from Jennings. Wahlmeier started his first game for the Kansas Jayhawks against Nebraska, replacing the injured Frank Black, and played the entire game.
Asked about the 60-minute workout, Galen said, "I didn't feel too tired in the game, but after a shower and a short bus ride, everything hit me. I was beat."
Wahlmeier is playing his first season for Kansas, having come here this fall from Dodge City Junior College. As evidence of his desire, Coach Putts said that Wahlmeier has learned KU's offensive and defensive plays, in several months, better than some of the team's veterans. He also was one of the first players to get in shape, added Putts.
Galen felt the team played well

against Nebraska and could have won if there had been another minute, but said, "I guess we just didn't play hard enough." He called Nebraska's line the weakest KU has faced, but was impressed with the hard running of the Husker backs.
He said the players were down-hearted over the loss but not demoralized. "Our spirit is getting better, even though we're losing," said the 6-foot, 205-pound junior. He praised George Remsberg for a major part in firing up the Jayhawkers Saturday. Remsberg had been sidelined since early season with a leg injury.
At Dodge City Juco, Galen played tackle, earning two letters. He also received a track letter.
