McCarthy Believes Each Game A Possible Kansas Victory
Lynn McCarthy is a happy-go-lucky, red-headed Irishman with an irresistible grin. A sophomore from St. Peter, Minn., McCarthy can tell yarns and tall tales all day.
Lynn is also the left end on the University of Kansas football team. He has started the last three games the Jayhawks have played-including the Varsity-alum game last spring.
Of course McCarthy was happy that KU beat Washington State last Saturday, but he looks toward the future realistically. "Everybody is happy that we won—except Washington State," he said. "Naturally it bolstered the hopes and spirit of the players, but we're going to meet better teams as the season goes along. There's still room for improvement, and we'll have to keep working."
Looking forward to the game Saturday at Boulder, McCarthy said: "Colorado has a fine, experienced, tested football team. They're going to be plenty tough, but we can be just as tough."
McCarthy is a hustling player who likes to win. He said he never goes into a game without believing that his team will win.
Evidence of his desire and hustle is the fact that Lynn is a starting end. This is his seventh season of football, but he never played the end position until he came to Kansas as a freshman last fall.
When he was 18, he joined the army and served three years with the U. S. Airborne as a paratrooper.
At St. Peter high school McCarthy earned three letters in football playing halfback and center. He also won three letters in track and baseball and one in basketball.
Standing an even six feet tall the 195-pound McCarthy presents a rugged obstacle to any opponents who try to run around the Kansas ends. More will be heard about this sophomore starter before the season is over. He is an example of the renewed spirit of the 1955 Jayhawks.

Teams Ready For Big 7 Openers
By UNITED PRESS
Big Seven grid teams settled down to another arduous week of practice with four of the teams priming for their first taste of conference opponent's blood.
Kansas meets Colorado at Boul-
der and Kansas State and Nebraska
clash at Manhattan in the first
season tests of league mettle.
At Lincoln, Nebraska Coach Bill Glassford ran squad members who saw little or no duty against Ohio State last Saturday through a rugged workout yesterday. Glassford said he needs "more relief" for the regulars.
At Manhattan, K-State Coach Bus Mertes reported only one member Keith Wilson, of his short-manned squad missed a stuff workout on soggy turf that ended in a driving rain.
At Boulder, Colorado worked out very lightly, and were in excellent physical condition. A bruised knee and torn finger were the most serious injuries from last Saturday's win and neither injury was expected to sideline the players.
Missouri, victims of a 42-7 clobbering at the hands of Michigan at Ann Arbor, took the day off and met indoors to view movies yesterday.
Quarterback Jimmy Hunter and halfback Sonny Stringer may sit out the weekend tilt with Utah due to injuries, and another halfback, George Cramer, is on the doubtful list.
At Norman, powerhouse Okla-
home was still picking its teeth
after a satisfying 13-6 feast at
the expense of sophomoric North
Carolina. It was the Sooners 20th
straight win.
Iowa State, its 19-7 loss two weeks ago to Denver nothing more than a fading, bad memory, was preparing to face Big Ten opponent Illinois at Champaign.
Casey Juggles Yank Lineup
By UNITED PRESS
NEW YORK —Manager Casey Stengel was jugging the starting lineup of the favored New York Yankees today, with Mickey Mantle and Phil Rizutto his big problems on the eve of the first game of the World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Stengel's worries, chiefly about Mantle's injured leg, were responsible for a slight reduction in the odds favoring the Yanks to win the opening game from 13-10 down to 6-5. But New York remained a 13-10 choice to win the World Championship for the sixth time in seven years.
"I don't know who's in the outfield and I don't know who's in the infield," Stengel admitted. "But I do know I got two pitchers ready—Whitey Ford and Tommy Byrne."
Fint-sized Ford, a southpaw who won 18 games and lost seven and has "a lot of nerve," according to Stengel, is certain to start tomorrow's game at Yankee Stadium. He will be opposed by huge Don Newcombe, Brooklyn's blaze-balling righthander with the best won-lost record in the major leagues—20 victories against only five defeats.
Mantle injured a thigh muscle on Sept. 23 and hasn't played since, although he has taken batting practice. Stengel said the final decision on the star center fielder may not be made until just a few minutes before tomorrow's 1 p.m. (EDT) game time.
Rizzuit, who will be playing in his ninth world series, is an uncertain starter at shortstop for the Yankees simply because of weariness. If Stengel doesn't think tiny Phil is ready, skinny Jerry Coleman will start at short.
By contrast, manager Walter Alston—making his first appearance as a series pilot—has the Dodgers' opening game lineup all set. It features seven right-handed hitters to face the southpaw slants of Ford, with only big Duke Snider and Newcombe batting left-handed.
Martin's Pals To See Series
