The Kansas Jayhawks open the 1955 home football season tomorrow when they meet the Washington State Cougars at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks will be out to break a 17-game losing streak, and hopes are high that KU may delight the expected Band Day crowd of some 18,000 with a victory.
Although Kansas bowed 47 to 14 to Texas Christian last Saturday, Washington State fared even worse, going down 50 to 12 before a powerful Southern California squad.
Washington State has been established as a seven-point favorite but even this is a ray of hope, as this is the smallest margin recorded a Jayhawk opponent for the past two years.
Both clubs, will be near full
slength, although one Cougar
oarter is definitely sideline, and
another is doubtful.
John Clark, 195-pound junior center, hurt his leg in Saturday's game. Preliminary reports showed no fracture, but a later X-ray showed a partial fracture which will sideline Clark for six weeks.
Right halfback Dewey Keith played only in spots against Southern Cal because of a lame foot. However he is expected to see more action against KU.
Kansas is expected to be at full strength, although co-captain Ralph Moody is nursing a sprained ankle from the TCU game and may see only limited action.
The Cougars starting line is stocked with lettermen at each position, and averages 202 pounds. West Coast writers say the Cougars have the best line in the vicinity.
The Cougars' loss last Saturday was similar to the KU pattern of defeat. Southern Cal intercepted six Washington State aerials, returning three of them for touchdowns, and also recovered three Cougar fumbles.
KU Coach Chuck Mather is expected to start approximately the same lineup he used at TCU. The only major change is the advance of Jim Hull to the No. 1 right tackle spot ahead of letterman Gene Blasi.
The backfield picture is also somewhat confused, with Mather expected to start Wally Strauch at quarterback. Dick Reich at full-back. John Francisco at left half, and either Dick Blowey or John Traaylor at right half. Senior half-backs John Handley and Ralph Moody are also expected to see considerable action for KU, although Moody has been nursing a strained ankle all week, and may be slowed up somewhat.
The Jayhawks will be facing a conventional split-T formation this week. The Cougars varied their attack between the T and single wing last year, compiling a 4-6 record, but Coach Al Kircher has gone all the way with the split-T this year.
Coach Mather has been optimistic as a result of the Jayhawks' showing in'practice this week.

Heavies May Repeat In Summer
By UNITED PRESS
NEW YORK—The "brain guys" behind Archie Moore will soon offer Rocky Marciano a guarantee of $350,000 for a return heavy-weight title defense in June. it was learned reliably today.
Such a whopping guarantee—the largest in 23 years—would wrap up a repeat performance of the great Marciano-Moore fight staged at Vanke Stadium Wednesday night before 61.574, the Moore man think
It could prevent manager Al Weill from selecting a less dangerous challenger for Rocky, as he did last May when he accepted Don Cockell of England for the lop-sided defense at San Francisco.
Rocky's purse from Wednesday's ninth-round kavo of Moore approximates $400,000, without the movies. But Messrs. Charley Johnston and Jack Kearns ask, "What opponent can bring him that kind of money in June—excess Moore?"
Johnston is Moore's manager of record. Kearns—the fight game's master maneuverer—claims to be "just an old-time buddy of Charley's."
