BOB KRAUS Kansas Guard
Kraus First KU Player To Go Sixty Minutes
Bob Kraus, University of Kansas right guard, is proving Saturday after Saturday that he's Purdue University's loss and KU's gain. The 6-foot 2-inch, 210-pound sophomore migrated west to Kansas after playing freshman football at Purdue.
His transfer has been well received here, for as Dave Putts, guard-center coach, said, "Bob is probably our most consistent guard, offensively and defensively. If he continues to improve, he'll be one of the outstanding players in the Big Seven by his senior year." His hard and steady play is evidenced by his starting role in four of KU's five games this year.
Bob turned in an iron-man performance against Iowa State as he played the entire 60 minutes, the first time a Kansas player has done that this season. Such an achievement is a rarity in football these days.
Learning Coach Mather's football system is no trick for Kraus. He played his high school ball under Mother at Massillon, Ohio, earning two letters and being selected honorable mention on the 1951 all-state team.
Saturday, Bob Kraus will again don a Jayhawk uniform. Chances are, he won't be the outstanding
As can be expected, Kraus was quite impressed with the Oklahoma Soachers, third-ranked team in the country. He said Tommy McDonald was territorially fast and thought Bo Bolinger lived up to expectations. However, he made it clear that the whole Bud Wilkinson crew was great.
OU Held To Rushing Low Last Saturday
Asked if Oklahoma seemed to his harder after Kansas scored in the opening minutes of the game, Eob germinyll said, "at sort of looked that way, didn't it?" He doesn't think the Sooners should have much trouble with Colorado this week.
The KU football squad held the University of Oklahoma to the lowest total of net yards rushing since 1947 in last Saturday's game at Norman. The Sooners gained 288 yards on the ground, which isn't any defensive figure for Kansas to crow about.
In 1947 Oklahoma amassed 220 yards rushing in a game which ended in a 13-13 tie. Last year the Sooners gained 534 yards on the ground and in 1953 they set a record of 537 yards rushing by a KU opponent.
player on the field, but you can bet he'll play his typical good and steady game. As he does, be glad that he's on our side.
Nine Basketball Lettermen Back
Last year's sophomore laden basketball team will report for their initial basketball practice as juniors Nov. 1, with nine lettermen among the candidates answering coach Phog Allen's call.
With this veteran crop of players answering the call, the Jayhawkers promise to be a top contender for the Big Seven title.
Lettermen returning are forwards; Bill Brainard, Newton senior; Gene Elstun, Kansas City junior; Lee Green, Kansas City junior; Maurice King, Kansas City, Mo., junior.
Center: Lew Johnson, Kensas City junior, and guards: Capt. Dallas Dobbs, Bartlesville, Okla., senior; Blaine Hollinger, Russell junior; Ronnie Johnston, Sea Cliff, N. Y. junior, and John Parker, Mission junior.
KU Freshman Harriers Win
Following in the footsteps of Kansas freshman cross-country teams of the past few years the KU frosh last week scored three triumphs in postal meets with Iowa State, Colorado, and Nebraska.
The top three men were Jack Schroeder who won all three meets with a time of 9:42.4, Kurt Hofmann was second in all three meets, and Berry Crawford finished third. Other Jayhawkers to place were John Davis and Cal Cormack.
The fledgling Jayhawkers finished 1-2-3 in all three meets, beating Colorado 13-24. Nebraska by the same score, and Iowa State 15-22.

Colorado Aims At Bowl Bid In Game With OU
By UNITED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.)—Coach Dallas Ward of Colorado, who got nosed out of the Orange Bowl late in the game last season, intends to start at the beginning this Saturday and go all the way.
His team plays Oklahoma Saturday and the game probably will decide the Big Seven representative for the Orange Bowl.
Normally, Oklahoma, a team always with experience, poise, a rugged line and speedy backfield, could be depended on to win. This year, however, Ward has achieved all that also in a squad heavily laden with experience.
Jenkins vs. McDonald
Ward also has an answer to triple threat Tommy McDonald, the Oklahoma halfback, in tailback Homer Jenkins.
Other things being somewhat equal, the game might well be decided on which of the speedy backs does the better job. They are almost equally matched in weight and height and perhaps only Jenkins' injuries have kept him from gaining the national stature Terrible Tommy already has received in his junior year.
Tommy Leads Big Seven
MoDew and averages almost eight yards a carry to lead the Big Seven in rushing with 332 yards in 41 tries. "Hot Rod Homer" is third, behind Missouri's Gene Roll, with 221 yards in 40 tries, a 5.5 average.
McDonald also leads scoring with 42 points. Jenkins, who is a pound heavier at 170 and an inch taller at 5-10, is third with 21.
Oklahoma and Colorado, both unbeaten and untied in four games, apparently have the Orange Bowl sewed up with the winner at Norman, Okla., Saturday playing in Miami Jan. 2. The other five Big Seven teams have come up with only four wins among them in 23 games.
Two other conference games are scheduled, Nebraska at Missouri and Kansas State at Iowa State. Either could go either way.
