University Daily Kansan Wednesday, Sept. 28, 1955.
By JOHN McMILLION Kansan Sports Editor
Some grumblings have been heard among the students, and understandably so, with regards to parents sitting in the student section at the KU-Iowa State football game Oct. 8. Older students remember all too well some of the messes which resulted from a pitifully overcrowded student section several years ago.
However, the athletic department has had the foresight to make arrangements for extending the student section on around the curve to the north to relieve pressure. Also the number of parents sitting in the student section may be few as anyone in his right senses who could sit on the spacious west side would do so before joining the students.
We have been assured by Athletic Director Arthur "Dutch" Lomborg that adequate seats will be available for both the students and the parents. If so, no difficulty should arise unless more parents sit in the student section than is planned on, in which case we trust the Athletic department will further enlarge the facilities. After all, it should be the rule at this University that the students come first, the faculty second, and the alumni and parents last.
Colorado Will Be Tough
What could be the toughest test of the year for Coach Chuck Mather's rejuvenated Jayhawkers will occur this weekend in Boulder, Colo. From the Rockies to the Kansas state line the rumblings have it that this is the year for Coach Dallas Ward's Golden Buffaloes.
The Colorado line, which could hold its own against anyone last year, should be one of the best in the country this season. All 20 of the linemen who lettered last year return. In tackle Sam Salerno and guard Dick Stapp the Buffaloes have all-conference and possibly All-American candidates.
Tailback Homer Jenkins is rapidly making Carroll Hardy the forgotten man in CU football. Sam Maphis is a good quarterback for Ward's single wing offense. Emerson Wilson looks like a good replacement for Frank Bernardi at wingback and John "The Beast" Bayuk is almost inhuman at fullback.
Pressure On Our Ends
Pressure On Our Ends
For sophomore wighten Lynn McCarthy and Jim Letcavis the pressure will on have good Running from the single wing the Buffs have a nasty habit as who witnessed last year's 27-10 loss by KU here well know, of sweeping the ends, going over them, around them, under them, or through them.
Mccarthy and Leevatics, aided by Don Martin, Paul Smith, and Tom Rosowicz should be able to handle the job on the basis of their performance so far this year.

THE BOOK NOOK
NEW YORK—The best-laid plans of Casey Stengel and Walt Alston waited on a nod of slugger Mickey Mantle's head today as the favored New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers renewed their World Series rivalry in the 52nd edition of the baseball classic.
THE BOOK NOOK 1021 Mass.
Mantle May Not Play In Series Opener Today
Only Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick can postpone a World Series game and he was expected to inspect the playing field at Yankee Stadium a few hours before the scheduled starting time (1 p.m. EDT).
By UNITED PRESS
Although favored at 13-10 to win both the opening game and the Series, the American League champion Yankees were faced with a "50-50" possibility that the 23-year-old Mantle would be missing from their lineup. Suffering from a pulled muscle in his right thigh, Mantle conceded late yesterday that the injury still bothered him and trainer Bus Mauch said, "a day of rain wouldn't hurt Mickey one bit."
Otherwise, the stage was all set for the sixth renewal of a Series relationship in which the Yankees have been all winning and the Dodgers all losing.
Shortly after midnight rain began falling. The weather bureau said it measured almost half an inch between midnight and dawn. However, the forecast was for clear and mild weather in the afternoon.
It was pointed out that Yankee Stadium has an excellent drainage system.
It has been a policy in past World Series to play, if possible, and games have been played in drizzling rain.
Stengel, who rose back to the very hard to give a good exhibition against the Bali in view of last year's game. That game as probably the lowest point KReached all season. It was one of the few games where the Jayhawkers completely folded.
Colorado will in all probability be tougher than TCU. Chances for a Kansas victory are very slim. The one thing that could make a difference is if the Buffs are worrying already about their date Oct. 22 with Oklahoma. If so, Hawaii well demonstrated against Nebraska, KU or any other team could conceivably upset the Buffs.
Odds And Ends
Colorado's Folsom Stadium has had preliminary work completed on a 15,000 seat addition. The actual work won't start until after the '55 season. Capacity will be boosted to 45,000, second largest in the conference. . Season ticket sales at Colorado in August were already 1,000 more than for the entire 1954 season. . Colorado hasn't failed to score in its last 77 games. Under Coach Dallas Ward, the Buffs have never been blanked.
top of the American League heap this year after a one-season absence, long since had named Whitey Ford, an 18-game winner, to start for the Yankees while Alston, the quiet man who hopes to bring Brooklyn its first World Championship, had countered with massive Don Newcombe, a 20-game winner.
A "World Series capacity crowd of about 68,000" was virtually assured with only standing room tickets and 14,000 bleacher seats still available. Those went on sale early this morning and were priced at $4.20 and $2.10 respectively.
Mantle, who hit .306 and led the American League with 37 homers this season, probably will be replaced in center field by Bob Cerv if the leg fails to respond overnight to treatment.

Vital Task For Transfers
Football isn't all glory. Any football player will agree to that statement, but for at least twenty Jayhawkers, that statement means even more. Their only reward for this year's hard, bruising practice sessions is a chance at the varsity next Fall.
These men are players who are ineligible for this year's competition because they have played football at some other school previous to their enrollment at the University. They must lay out of competition for one year.
Actually these men are on an even par with this year's freshman squad and will be competing against the freshmen players for varsity berths next year.
Each is a good player in his own right, but must be satisfied with intra-squad scrimmage until next Fall. They are used as opponents for the varsity.
