Before the season opened the experts picked KU as having a hance of winning two games and possibly three. It appears now that the Jayhawkers have a good chance of doing this, unless they suffer a relapse. There is also a possibility that the record could be bettered even further with continued improvement.
Kansas, if the team plays good ball, should beat Iowa State this Saturday. However, the Cyclones can't be sold short. They are young and they're hungry for a win which makes them doubly dangerous.
After Iowa State the going gets rougher. Mark Oklahoma off the list barring a miracle. Southern Methodist too should prove to be too much. But after the SMU game until the end of the season there isn't a game which couldn't conceivably end in Kansas victory.
Nebraska cup
In the last five game of the year the Javayhawks meet Nebraska at Lincoln on Oct. 29. The Huskers have the kind of a ball club that would either look very good or look miserable, witness the Hawaii-Nebraska game. Against Ohio State and Kansas State, however, the NU squad showed signs of living up to expectations.
Kansas State can't seem to get their offense rolling. They have dropped three straight and if they don't beat Marquette Saturday they may start sliding downhill, but fast.
The Oklahoma Aggies are off to what may be a bad season under new Coach Cliff Speegle. The Cowpokes have dropped two games, one to Arkansas and one to giant-killer Texas Tech. This game too could be a KU victory but the Aggies always seem to be at their best against Kansas.
The final game of the season is here Nov. 19 with arch-rival Missouri. The Tigers got off to a good start, bowing to the number one team in the nation, Maryland, 13 to 12. The next week, however, they were shellacked 42 to 7 by Michigan and then Saturday they lost 20 to 14 to Utah. This game is always nip and tuck, however.
Here is a quote from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer sports editor Royal Brougham wrote before the KU-Washington State game. "This is where the Cougars should break into black ink." Brougham said, "Kansas hasn't much. Even in view of the fact of the awesome walloping his boys took in Los Angeles, Coach Kircher should rally his forces and turn in a win against a school that hasn't won a game for so long the cheer leaders wear mourning bands on both arms.

NEW YORK—Casey Stengel, a losing manager in a World Series for the first time, was a sadder and a wiser man today.
'I Played It Wrong,' Old Casey Says
All through the night the 65-
year-old manager, who led the New
York Yankees to five World
Championships and six American
League titles in seven years,
his own greatest "second guesser."

"I played the game wrong," Stengel said, following yesterday's 2-0 loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers. "I had my hitters 'taking on Johnny Podres and I shoulda had 'em hitting."
"I knew the kid hadn't pitched a complete game in his league since mid-July," Stengel explained. "So, I figured he couldn't last and I had our hitters taking the pitches. But he did last and I was wrong—
13-0 favor of Kansas and those overwintered g塘 bears that came down here were never even in the ball game.
More On Spirit
After watching the KU cheerleaders at Colorado I'm beginning to think maybe they're holding up their end of the bargain and the students are the ones who are dropping the load. The KU cheerleaders were at Boulder in force and did a fine job.
When you get to thinking about it it is always easy to put the blame on the cheerleaders because they are out there in front where everyone can see them. But maybe it would be a little better if each student would stop and ask himself, "Am I doing my part?"
swinging from the first inning on." Casey, who said he'd be back next year to "try to make the Yankees world champions again," picked Dick Snider, the Dodgers' slugging center fielder as the man who hurt the Yankees the most.
they should have been up there swinging from the first inning on."
The team has proven itself beyond a doubt and last Saturday the cheerleaders went a long way toward dispelling any notion that they aren't up to the job. From now on it's up to the students to prove themselves. Saturday will be your chance. Let's get the job done.
"He hit four home runs against me," Stengel said, "and you gotta say anybody who does that hurt you the most."
As for the seventh and decisive game, Stengel picked left-felder Sandy Amoros' brilliant catch that was converted into a sixth-inning double play as the key play.
