IT'S A RIGHT HOOK—Boys will be boys and football players will be football players but in this picture it looks as if SMU end Willard Dewveall is trying for a crack at Rocky Marciano as he swings a lusty right at KU halfback John Handley.

'Old Fox' Near Death Today
WASHINGTON — (U.P.)— Clark Griffith, 85-year-old president of the Washington Senators and co-founder of the American League, was reported near death today.
Aides at Georgetown Hospital said Griffith, baseball's oldest active executive, was in "very low" condition. They said the chances of his recovery from a stomach hemorrhage were "remote."
Griffith, baseball's "good will ambassador" and one of the craftiest traders in the business, was in the hospital for three days before he suffered the stomach hemorrhage Saturday night. He had been convulsing from an attack of neuritis when he was stricken.
Dr. George Besta, his physician, told reporters late last night that Griffith's chances of recovery were "just fair. Hospital attaches were more pessimistic.
As of the first five Nebraska games, Willie Greenlaw is leading the Huskers in rushing with an average of 5.2 yards per carry.

KU Suffers 4th Loss 33-14
With six minutes gone in the second quarter, Kansas donated a touchdown to the SMU cause. On a fourth down punting situation, a bad pass from center prevented Ted Robde from getting the punt away and the Mustangs took over on the Kansas one. Don McIlhenney plunged over and Tommy Beal converted to make it 7 to 0.
KU Donates TD
Undermanned Kansas played Southern Methodist off its feet Saturday for two and a half quarters, but then the flood gates opened and SMU backs rushed through for four touchdowns, resulting in a 33 to 14 victory over the Jayhawks. It was Kansas' fourth loss and the Mustangs' third victory.
Kansas threatened in the first quarter when Bev Buller completed a short pass to Ralph Moody who took the ball on the Kansas 32, reversed his field and sprinted to the SMU 27. However, the Southern Methodist defense stiffened and KU went no farther. The teams exchanged pass interceptions and the quarter ended with SMU in possession of the ball on its 34 yard line.
Wally Strauch passed Kansas back into contention late in the second quarter, completing a short pass to John Francisco and a 58 yard pass to Joe Held which put the ball on the SMU seven. Strauch was thrown for a seven yard loss but then riffled a shot to Jim Letcvits on the one who stepped across for the touchdown with only 26 seconds remaining in the half. It was Kansas' first touchdown pass of the season. John Handley converted to tie the score at halftime. 7 to 7.
After three KU running plays failed to gain at the start of the second half, Rohde, back to punt, fumbled the pass from center and SMU took over on the Kansas four, scoring in two thrusts with McIhenney again scoring. The conversion was no good.
But Kansas refused to back off. Lynn McCarthy recovered an SMU fumble on the Mustang 36. Two running plays carried the ball to

the 33. The next play probably was the outstanding play of the game. Bev Buller threw a long pass to Dick Blowey who leaped high to snare the ball, although covered like a blanket by the Mustangs' Lon Slaughter.
KU Takes Lead
Buller ran to the seven but on the next play was rushed hard and thrown back to the 12. Strach re-entered the game at this point to throw a clutch pass to Letcavits for a TD.
From then on, it was a story of too many Ponies. Taking the kickoff on its 37 yard line, SMU moved 63 yards in nine plays to recapture the lead. 19 to 14 Hal O'Brien scored the touchdown and Beal failed to convert. The Jayhawks took the ensuing kickoff on the 20 and three carries by Francisco netted a first down on the 30. However, two plays later, Buller

Moments later, McIlhenny ran 12 yards for his third touchdown, vaulting SMU into a commanding 26 to 14 margin as Ray Masters kicked the extra points. McIlhenney made his fourth touchdown with eight minutes left in the game, going the last yard of a 61 yard drive. Masters again converted, making the final score SMU 33, Kansas 14.
Best KU Passing
Kansas put on its best aerial attack of the season, getting a total of 182 yards, but the huge SMU line held KU to a minus 30 yards rushing, a new record. The previous low for a Kansas team was a plus 14 yards in last year's Colorado game.
Wally Strauch and Jerry Baker had to leave the game because of injuries. Baker injured his foot, leaving the game in the second quarter, and Strauch re-injured his back in the final quarter. With Baker out, Kansas now has its first three fullbacks shelved due to injuries.
