High Scoring Buffs To Play KU Tomorrow
Pencil Drawing
Battle scared Kansas digs in against Colorado's offensive avalanche tomorrow in Memorial stadium as the two teams play one of three opening 1954 Big Seven football games. Kickoff time is 2 p.m. with 20,000 expected.
Missouri meets Kansas State at Manhattan and Iowa State tackles Nebraska at Lincoln in the other two contests. Oklahoma's defending champions enjoy an open date.
Hammered by TCU, 6-27, and by UCLA, 7-32, in the opening tests, the Jayhawkers will find no respite in their conference opener. Colorado comes into this game leading the nation in total offense with a 470.0 yard average, 422.5 of it rushing, after having flogged Drake, 61-0, and Colorado A&M, 46.0, in opening games at Boulder.
The Buffaloes carry more single- wing guns than UCLA. In Carroll Hardy and Frank Bernardi the Buffs will present what likely is the finest tailback-wingback combination in the land.
Probable Lineups
Colorado Kansas
LE: Lotz (186) Martin (199)
LT: Golden (208) Knowles (205)
LG: Stapp (206) Pfutzenreuter (155)
C: Karnoscak (198) Reich (211)
RG: Jones (200) Hubbard (201)
RT: Salerno (208) Vignatelli (217)
RE: Merz (202) Anderson (221)
QL: Maphis (188) Buller (168)
QB: Hardy (186) Moody (193)
RB: Bernardi (182) Sullivan (176)
RF: Jenkins (170) Laughlin (207)
This pair, along with Homer Jenkins, shifted from tailback to fullback, furnished enough killer plays for an entire season as the Golden Herd ground their two warmup victims by a 107-0 score. Bernardi ran 69 and 60 yards against A&B and Hardy 84. Hardy hauled a pass interception 75 yards on Drake, while Bernardi and Jenkins were scoring from scrimmage on runs of 35 and 44 yards, respectively.
Such cross-country running has
launched Bernard as the BIG
girl.
Seven's top rusher with a
fastic 241 yard average in 10 car-
ries. That figure also is good enough
to rank second on the latest NCAA
major college statistics. John
Bayuk, sophomore fullback, is third
among league carriers and Jenkins
fourth. They also occupy three of
the top seven NCAA rushing spots.
While running against the Horned Frog and Bruin lines, Kansas has netted but 253 yards rushing and 119 passing to trail CU by 576 yards, almost six times the length of the playing field, in total offense.
This difference is not as wide as it appears, however. The Jayhawkers have been playing in a tougher league. UCLA is in fourth place among the AP's poll this week. TCU had Oklahoma on the hook, 16-7, before losing, 16-21, in the final quarter last Saturday at Norman.
Too. Chuck Mather's team has displayed enough offensive improvement to make a scoring match in tomorrow's game. Not many fans thought KU would defeat the Buffers in Boulder last season but they won 27-21.
Colorado has incentive too. It never has won in Lawrence, although playing a 6-6 tie in 1904 and a 0-0 deadlock in 1934.
Intramural football continued yesterday with four "A" team and three "B" team games in the fraternity division leagues. In one "A" game, Delta Upsilon won over Alpha Epsilon Pi by forfeit as AEPi failed to field a team.
"A" GAMES
Six IM Teams Post Victories
Phi Kappa Psi 6. Lambda Chi A 0
Phi Kappa Psi edged Lambda by scoring in the first quarter and holding their slim lead the remainder of the game. In the first quarter Bob Anderson passed to Harold Wilson for the touchdown. Lambda Chi moved the ball to the 3 yard line in one drive, but the Phi Psi line held against the possible tying score.
Delta Tau Delta 6, Sigma Nu 0
Delta Tau Delta scored a six point victory over Sigma Nu in a defensive game that saw one touchdown scored during the game. Jim Devilin passed to Paul Guess for the Delt TD.
Sigma Phi Epsilon 22. Phi Kappa 2
Sigma Phi Epsilon scored three
touchdowns and a safety to defeat
Phi Kappa 22-2, Brent Kington
passed to Ron Baker and Bob Wind
for two Sig Ep TD's, and Jack
Leatherman intercepted a Phi Kap
pass for the third score. Phi Kap
scored a safety for their two points.
"R" GAMES
Beta T. Pi I 12. Phi Gam Delta 0
Beta Theta Pi shut out the Gams as they won their second "B" game of the season. John Nettles passed to John Loussbury for the first Beta touchdown, and to George Wurster for the second score.
Phi Delta Theta 6, A T O 0
Phi Delt scored an early TD and tightened its defense to hold the ATO's scoreless for a 6-0 win. Don Sifers hit Jim Steerman for the Phi Delt touchdown. The ATO offense failed to penetrate the Phi Delt defense during the contest.
Sigma Chi 7, Kappa Sig 6
Sigma Chi defeated Kappa Sig by a meager two yards as the teams were tied 6-6 and went into a sudden death overtime. Sigma Chi gained 10 yards to eight for the Kappa Sig to take the game. Kappa Sig scored in the first quarter on a pass from Don Rose to George Strell. Sigma Chi tallied on a pass to Larry Baker, who threw to Tom Graber late in the fourth quarter.
The Kansas team of 1939 yielded only 273 yards from passes in eight games to lead the nation in this department.
Against Utah in 1950, Wade Stinson carried the ball 24 times from scrimmage and gained 239 yards and scored three touchdowns.
Dutch Lonborg returned 32 punts for 819 yards while playing for Kansas in 1917, 1918, and 1920.
Friday. October 1, 1954
However, the national schedule is getting tougher, and after this week's predictions, it will be easier to understand how George Gallop felt in 1948.
By JACK LINDBERG Kansan Sports Editor
The assistant sports editor picked Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas State to defeat Kansas, Iowa State, and Missouri in tomorrow's games. It wouldn't have made any difference if he had chosen the other three teams to win, because all three contests should be close.
Texas Tech over Oklahoma A&M: The coin came up heads, so Texas Tech is the choice. The boys from the Lone Star state still want to get in the Southwest conference and this is their opportunity to prove they are playing big time football.
At the moment our weekly football predictions have turned out fairly well. Last week the Florida-Georgia Tech, Army-South Carolina, Illinois-Penn State, and Michigan State-Iowa games didn't quite meet the selection standards. But 18 lucky guesses produced an average of .818.
Maryland over UCLA: This game is being played tonight. The Terps are well rested from their open date last Saturday and should be in tip-toy shape to knock the Bruins from their fourth place national rating. And no one is mad at UCLA for defeating KU.
TCU over Arkansas. The Horned Frogs played excellent ball against Oklahoma. They can let down just a little this week and still win over the Razorbacks.
Iowa over Montana: This game will help keep the high percentage. Iowa pulled a mild surprise by defeating Michigan State. Montana is making the long trip to Iowa City, just to look at the scenery.
Elsewhere in the Midwest and Southwests the games look like this:
Georgia Tech over SMU: The boys from the "peach" state have two games under their belt and the Mustangs are opening their season. Tech must be a little disappointed at losing to Florida and will probably take it out on the Texans.
Ohio State over California: This is a sentimental choice and it could cause a lot of trouble. Both teams have a lot of potential, and they are both eligible for the Rose Bowl. Playing at home gives the Buckeyes a slight edge.
Illinois over Stanford: They couldn't lose two in a row, or could they? The Illini want to prove that last week's loss to Penn State was a fluke, and the Indians are going to be the proving grounds.
the rest of the big games: Michigan over Army, Notre Dame over Purdue, Navy over Dartmouth, Duke over Tennessee, Wisconsin over Michigan State, Penn State over Syracuse, USC over Northwestern, Georgia over Texas A&M, Minnesota over Pittsburgh, Auburn over Florida, Wichita over Drake, and Kentucky over LSU.

Odds Favor New York After Tribe Loses Two
The women's intramural department changed the sports schedule this year by placing basketball, rather than volleyball, as the activity. This was done to prevent conflict in the use of the basketball courts. Formerly, both men and women's intramural teams, in addition to the varsity, used the courts at approximately the same time.
Admission — 25c
KU Chances Improve As Injuries Decline
Cleveland—(U.P).The New York Giants sent Ruben Gomez to the mound against Mike Garcia today in an attempt to make it three in a row over the Cleveland Indians and virtually assure one of the greatest upsets in World Series history.
Activity Starts In Women's IM
the basketball games begin Oct. 26 with 26 teams participating, 12 from Greek organizations and 14 independent groups.
Golf, tennis singles, and badminton began Sept. 27. The games in these activities must be played by Oct. 3, and the winners must complete the second division matches by Oct. 10. The third and fourth rounds should be finished by Oct. 17 and 24, respectively. Because of the number competing, a fifth division was added to badminton and it must be played by Oct. 31.
Joan Hedrick of women's intramurals, said that girls signed up for golf must play nine holes to qualify. She also added that girls must win two of three badminton matches, and two out of three sets in the tennis singles.
Chances for a victory over the Colorado Buffs were better yesterday when three KU men who had been hobbled by injuries all week returned to practice and are expected to see some action tomorrow.
The three injured players are: Dick Blowey, starting right halfback; Dick Todd, second team left guard, and Tom Webb, third team fullback. Blowey and Todd had been suffering from hip injuries, and Webb has had a wrenched knee which kept him from seeing action in the first two games.
- Installed overnight as 2-1 favorites to win a series they entered as 17-10 underdogs, Manager Leo Durocher's amazing Giants rode the crest of two drama-packed triumphs as they invaded Cleveland's enormous Municipal stadium with a chance to wrap it all up in four or five games.
The Giants made it two in a row with their 3-1 victory at the Polo Grounds yesterday and now luxuried in the knowledge that no team ever has won the first two games of a seven-game World Series and failed to take the championship.
Broadway odds-makers, who held the Giants so lightly only three days ago, installed the Indians as 7-5 favorites in the third game but were quoting only 10-1 odds against the possibility that the New Yorkers would win in four straight games. The Giants' remarkable knack of coming through in the clutch coupled with the Indians' equally remarkable futility with runners on base had National leaguers convinced they are about to crown their first world champion since the St. Louis Cardinals upset the Boston Red Sox in the 1946 series.
Battling with their backs to the wall, the team which set an American league record of 111 victories during the regular season also faced the possibility that hard-hitting third-baseman Al Rosen would be lost to it for the remainder of the series.
Rosen, whose injured leg has hampered his batting and slowed down his base-running to a walk, said yesterday he might ask Manager Al Lopez to remove him from the lineup "for the good of the team."
Manager Leo Durocher also was expected to make a switch in his batting alignment—but that, too, would be the worst sort of news the Indians could hear.
For Leo's trump move would be the insertion of none other than Jim (Dusty) Rhodes, the man who treated the class pitching staff of the American league like batting practice throwers, into the order instead of the hitless Monte Irvin, Durocher normally prefers to keep his pinch-hitter deluxe on the bench for a key spot but the betting is that Leo would put Dusty and his 1.000 series batting average into today's game from the start.
