1920 Tie With NU Led to Football Stadium
Bv STAN HAMILTON
Those at the game tomorrow can thank the 1920 Jayhawk foot ball team, which battled back from a 20 to 10 halftime deficit to deadlock Nebraska 20-20 in the homecoming game that year, for the $600,000 Memorial stadium.
For after the underdog Jayhawks of that season roared back to tie the heavily favored Cornhuskers to gain a great moral victory, Kansas fans were so overjoyed that soon after the season old McCook field was razed and the present stadium was constructed.
Basketball Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen was football coach that year—the same campaign in which his famous "dream" touchdown paved the way to an earlier 7 to 0 victory over Iowa State. He dreamed the night before that he should start several men who previously had seen little action, and they pulled KU through to the narrow triumph.
But in the homecoming game the bruising Nebraskans rolled to a 20-point-margin at the half. As the happy Cornhuskers trooped off the field at the half, they shouted to a small boy who was marking the score on a crude scoreboard, "Say, sonny, you'd better lay in a fresh supply of chalk. You're apt to run out during the second half."
Coach Allen dug deep into his bag of psychological tricks in the dressing room during the intermission. He addressed his quarterback, Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg, now athletic director, and told him:
"Dutch, this next half I want you to play just two plays. Play formation Y and formation X. Call nothing else but these two plays at the right time! You are going to win! It will be a last half of brain against brawn!"
Allen called the roll of his team—Andy McDonad, Sandefur, Warren Woody, Geo;ge Hale, Tad Reid, Harley Little, Frank Mandeville, Johnnie Bunn, Kenny Welch, Severt Higgins, Carl McAdams, Capt. George Nettles and Lonborg—and told them to hate the hated visitors with the two "key" plays.
Only a few plays after the final half began Lonborg called formation X, a lateral running forward pass play, and threw to Mandeville for a touchdown. The kick was good, leaving Kansas 13 points in arrears.
Just minutes later the same play clicked for another KU score, followed by a successful kick. Nebraska 20, Kansas 14.
The demoralized Cornhuskers fought back desperately, but again the mysterious formation X worked, this time from Bunn to Mandeville, who scored the tying points on a 35-yard play. While pandemonium broke out in the stands, Sandefur's kick that would have meant victory went wide.
The game provided the stimulus for a badly needed new stadium. The Monday after the game students in a mass rally pledged $160,- 000. And when the season ended a school holiday was granted to raze the old stadium.

Sketches on Cage Players
Dallas  Dobbs, all-Big. Seven guard last season, is the only one of the 28 members of the varsity basketball squad that is sure of a starting position, according to assistant basketball coach Dick Harp.
"The rest of the lettermen will have to seriously contend with sophomores," Harp said. "There is a good chance that Gene Elstun, Lee Green, Blaine Hollinger, Ron Johnston, Harry Jett, or John Parker might break into the KU starting lineup."
Lettermen
Dallas Dobbs—Dobbs topped all league sophomores last year in scoring with 183 points for an average of 15.2 in conference play. He has a deadly righthanded set and jump shot.
His 270 points in 21 games last season are the most ever scored by a Jayhawk guard in a single season.
He opened the season as a regular and started every game. He scored 23 points against Kansas State and Missouri, and 22 against Nebraska. Last season he hit 102 of 242 field shots for a 42 per cent shooting average.
Bill Heittholt -Heittholt is a three-year letter-winner. He earned a starting role late in the season after his clutch layup in the final two minutes insured a narrow 65-62 win over Kansas State last season.
Jack Wolfe—This Senior guard is a fine ball-bander and dribler, who has been used primarily in late game ball control situations. He is the smallest man on the squad, standing 5-8 and weighing 135.
Jerry Alberts-Alberts will be playing his fourth season. He has earned two letters and has 37 games of playing experience, but will be sorely pressed to fight off sophomores for a starting role. Alberts played a vital role on the team that played in the 1953 NCAA finals.
Bill Brainard—A hard-driving, aggressive junior who Coach Phog Allen will try to convert back into a forward. Brainard was a tricky, dangerous shot and a tough rebounder at the post last season despite the handicap of his 6-3 height. Brainard aided KU in an 82-73 victory over Oklahoma in the finals of the 1953 Big Seven pre season tournament by scoring 22 points, and tying the tournament single-game free throw record with 14.
Larry Davenport-He is another veteran who will be working for his four letter this season. Davenport started the first 15 games as a guard last season, and scored 105 points for the season to rank fifth in team scoring. He is one of the finest one-handed set shot artists in Jayhawk history, but will have to improve his ball-handling, defense, and rebounding to reclaim his starting job.
Gary Padgett—This junior guard has good shooting ability, especially off the jump. Padgett must improve his ability to obtain a spot on the starting squad.
John Anderson-A good-sized two-year letterman who has been used chiefly in relief through his
first two seasons, Anderson doubles as fullback, end, and halfback on the football team. He will report for practice following football season.
Other Squad Members
Bob Crisler—A fine ball-handler and a good two-hand set shooter, Crisler broke into only two varsity games last season but showed promise in B-team action.
Blaine Hollinger-A fine sophomore guard who has potential but must improve playing judgment to gain varsity stature.
Ron Johnston—Johnston is an aggressive, hard-playing sophomore from Sea Cliff, N.Y. A lack of speed is his handicap, but continued desire and hustle may lift him into a traveling squad berth.
Jim Toft—Toft is a brawny, 6 feet 6 inches, 220-pound junior who carried a lot of potential for the center position. If he improves he could be a fine help for the post which is minus such aces as Clyde Lovellett and B. H. Born for the first time in six seasons.
Dick Reich—A husky, 212-pound football center who could develop into a good basketball player. Reich was a football and basketball regular at Army before transferring to KU. He shows ability as a guard for he is a good ball handler and shot.
Tom Webb—Webb's potentialities are somewhat unknown because of a knee injury which kept him out of action during the freshman season. He will get a late start due to football season.
Chris Divich—A knee injury kept this boy from lettering last season after he became eligible at the semester. He is a rugged rebounder who shows promise as a shooter. Divich will be difficult to keep off the starting five.
Gene Elstun—A highly promising sophomore who may earn a starting forward position from outset of the season, Elstun owns good all-around skill for a rookie. He was a two-year all-state prep election der coach Bob Johnson at Shawnee Mission.
