Rohde Now Rewriting Big 7 Record Books
If statistics have anything to say about it, Ted Rohde is the greatest punter in Kansas football history.
Bv BRUCE DILLMAN
Currently leading the Big Seven punters. Rohde has established several personal and school records although he has only played varsity football for a season and a half.
His first punt in a Jayhawk uniform went sixty-three yards against TCU last year. This kick was no flash-in-the-pan—it was an indication of things to come. Ted went on to set a new all-time school record for single game punting in the first game he played for KU.
The record didn't last long, though, because Rohde himself broke it by almost eight yards in the next game he played. Against UCLA in Memorial Stadium last fall Ted set a record which looked as if it would stand for a long time, 52.4 yards per punt.
In his sophomore season, the former serviceman from South Sioux City, Neb., led all big-Seven pants with an 43-yard average on 29 points. This figure was good for second place in the country.
The only school record which eluded him last year became Rohde's week before last. His 84-yard punt against Iowa State beat the previous record by eight yards.
Rohde's season's average dropped more than three yards when he could only average 37 yards per kick against Oklahoma. He said the hard-charging Oklahoma line didn't bother him except on the first kick which
went 21 yards. Last week he was the nation's leading punter.
After four years in the Army, Rohde came to KU where he was a stand-out halfback on the freshman team. Last fall he was switched to end two weeks before the first game, and he worked his way up to the starting line-up for the season's opener.
Ted explains the secret of his success with one word, "luck." But anybody who can kick a fifty-yard line drive with a big bounce in the right direction almost every time out has more than luck on his side. Rhode also punts with accuracy when the occasion demands. Against Washington State he kicked from the 45-yard line and the ball bounced out-of-bounds on the one.
Ted played quarterback on the Emerson High School six-man football team. After graduation from high school, he joined the Army where he was in the Intelligence Corps.
Mack's Condition Satisfactory PHILADELPHIA — (U.P.) — Connie Mack was reported in "very satisfactory" condition today but officials at Presbyterian Hospital declined to state when the "Grand Old man of Baseball" will be discharged.
Since then Ted has been playing halfback and fullback, but his most noteworthy performance has been as the deep man in a punt formation. When Rhode goes into the game Kansas fans and opposition expect a punt, and they usually get a long one.
