Play Of Drake And Reinking Makes Gibson Fine Tackle
Slated to start his fourth straight game for the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday is Frank Gibson, 21-year-old sophomore tackle from North Lawrence, Ohio. Only in the opening game against TCU has Gibson's name been left off the starting lineup.
Standing 6 feet $ _{2/3} $ inches and weighing 220 pounds, Frank looms as a formidable foe to opposing linemen. Rated a fine offensive tackle when arriving at KU quarters, he has shown since that he also can tackle. This he has proved as part of KU's rock-ribbed defense which has surrendered but three touchdowns in the last three games.
Of Gibson, tackle coach Lauri Wartinainen said, "He has good speed for a tackle and is very aggressive. The thing that keeps him going is the play of John Drake and Dick Reinking." Drake and Reinking play under Gibbon at the left tackle position.
Wartainainen called the Iowa State game Frank's best this year, commenting that he played particularly well on defense.
Naturally disappointed with the Iowa State tie, Frank and the rest of the team are thinking about Saturday's game with nationally-ranked Oklahoma. Gibson didn't predict a victory but did say, "I think it'll be one of our best games. It's a game we can really surprise the people with and I think we will."
Frank played his high school football under Coach Chuck Mather at Massillon, Ohio, lettering three years and being chosen all-state tackle his senior year. Incidentally, he played only on offense at Massillon under Coach Mather's two-platoon system.
Majoring in physical education, Frank wants to coach after graduation. In summers, he works for his father in steel construction. Like his right side counterpart, Gene Blasi, he is married.

The Best At Milk Bowl
Such post-season football spectacles as the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Cotton bowls had better get on the ball today or they're going to lose their standings to an extravaganza known as the Milk Bowl.
This is one late season event which is aptly named. It's between the finest peewee football teams of two nations—Texas and the United States.
Come Dec, 10 at San Antonio,
Tex., the best team of youngsters
between 10 and 15 years of age in
the Lone Star state will play a
team judged as the best in the
other 47 states.
O'Brien, you'll recall, was a marksman in the true Crockett tradition when he riffed the ball for Texas Christian. And Davey, O'Brien that is, is one of the referees for this truly significant game along with such gridiron heroes as Kyle Rote, Doak Walker and others of their fabled era. The kids do it up in big league
It will be staged, this seventh annual Milk Bowl game, in the shadow of the Alamo.
style. They come from orphanages, boys' homes, Y.M.C.A.'s and such miniature moleskin outfits as the Pee-We league, Pop Warner league and the Small Fry Football league sponsored in the Chicago area by Red Grange.
Texas decides on its champion and then, naturally, puts its peewees up against the best that the entire remainder of the country has to offer. The opponent is decided by invitation, a survey of applications and, after a check of performances, a trip to Alamo stadium for the chosen eleven.
Europe Vs. S. America In Soccer Sunday
An Olympic touch will be added to the intramural fields at 2:30 p.m. Sunday when two contingents of the foreign student population of KU meet in a game of international soccer.
In Sunday's game the Europeans will be meeting the Latin Americans with the winner looking for a possible shot at the Asians on the campus. This is the first time the idea has been tried.
