University Daily Kansan Thursday. Oct. 13. 1955
By JOHN McMILLION Kansan Sports Editor
The Topeka State Journal pulled a good one the other day. In a headline on the sports page they had the UCLA sports publicity man replacing the controversial Ronnie Knox at tailback.
It all came about like this. The Bruin's publicity man, Vic Kelley, put out a release saying that Sam Brown would be the first string quarterback regardless of whether or not Knox was physically able to play. The headline writer on the Journal saw Kelley's name in the story so wrote the head thus, "Kelley Wins UCLA Tailback Slot to Bench Ron Knox."
This could lead to all sorts of things. Maybe Saturday Mather will send in Don Pierce to spell Frank Black and perhaps Dutch Lonborg may try for another letter at end or quarterback. Who knows, in basketball, Doc Allen may even try a comeback.
Speaking of Knox
The sad case of Ronnie Knox is probably the most shining example of what over-zealous alumni and a narrow-minded, football-crazed father can do for a boy who could possibly be one of the all-time greats.
Papa Harvey Knox has been the master chess player as far as son Ronnie is concerned and has shuffled him around among various high schools and colleges like a pawn. Papa has also accompanied all this shuffling with a great many loud and colorful statements.
Panny Waldorf Fails
All during Ronnie's high school career Papa shuffled him from one coach to the other in an attempt to get the best "for his boy." Then upon Ronnie's graduation Papa trundled his pride and joy off to the University of California to play football under able Lynn Waldorf.
However, Pappy Waldorf, known as one of the best coaches in the ranks, couldn't seem to handle Ronnie right, according to Papa Harvey. His boy just wasn't being used to the best of his abilities.
So, under the smoke screen of the biggest recruiting stink in the West Coast's history, with Papa Harvey doing the accusing, Ronnie was shuffled off to UCLA and the open arms of Coach Red Sanders.
Now, however, Red probably wishes he had never heard of Harvey Knox, Ronnie Knox, or even Fort Knox. Old Harvey has been spouting off again, this time for the benefit of Sports Illustrated and his comments about the Maryland-UCLA game, which Maryland won, are among the best.
So now, it looks like Papa Knox has talked Ronnie Knox onto the bench and this will bring, no doubt, a real blast from the incredible Knox senior. In the long run, however, we'll put our money on old Red Sanders. Handling fathers isn't new to him by a long shot.

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
With Saturday's game with Oklahoma looming on the horizon Kansas football Coach Chuck Mather yesterday shuffled his IBM cards and came up with what he thinks may be at least a partial stop gap against the Sooners.
Mather will send two complete teams into the fray, each group alternating for a quarter of play. The starting unit will be composed of all upper classmen while the other will be mainly sophomores with a few inmigrants.
A fresh team will to some extent relieve the pressure which will be given by Oklahoma's invincible ground machine, Mather said.
Kappa Sig vs. Acacia, Field 6
Phi Delt vs. Delta Chi, Field 7
"I know we will do better than last year when we lost 65-0. We hope it won't be that bad.
If the system works fairly well against OU Mather and company may stick with it for the rest of the season.
Chances Better
Speaking of KU chances against Oklahoma, Mather was as optimistic as possible.
"This year we are better prepared all the way around, both physically and mentally."
The move was made because of the return of Jerry Baker to full-time duty with the fullback contingent. Baker had been nursing a series of injuries since early drills The fleet Stevenson worked in well at the new position.
In the most important player change of the day, Mather switched Al Stevenson from fullback to a right halfback spot.
John Traylor, standout in last week's encounter with Iowa State will not make the trip to Norman this weekend. He is sidelined with a rib injury.
Baker Back
Also doubtful are guard Joe Eaglowski and tackle John Drake who are on the injured list.
Remsberg Back Soon
Good new came to the Jayhawk camp today, when they learned right guard George Remsberg probably will be able to see action in the Nebraska tilt. Remsberg, suffering from a fractured calcium deposit on his left leg, has left a great gap in the Kansas forward wall.
Mather feared Remsberg would be lost for the season, but good doctoring and a terrific desire to play have helped him mend early.
He'll Revive The Rangers
NEW YORK — (U.P.) -Ice hockey may not be your favorite sporting dish but a young man named Phil Watson is worthy of notice today as he tries to pump life into the long-recumbent New York Rangers with a training regimen that would do credit to the Marines.
The Rangers may be identified as a long-time member of the National Hockey League. They haven't been in the Stanley Cup playoffs in five years, haven't won them since 1939-40 and haven't taken a regular season title since the 1941-42 campaign.
