Although Colorado has only played two football games, they have scored 106 points—more points than were scored by the Buffs against all opponents last year. However this awesome record CU has been set against two comparatively easy teams—Drake and Colorado A&M.
After the UCLA game Saturday, in which KU looked good at times despite the score, we think KU will at least give the Buffs a good run for their money.
In the last two games the lean KU squad has learned a lot, and with the practice they gained against UCLA's single wing attack, the Jayhawks should be ready for CU's version Saturday.
But the Buffs have been underrated by most Big Seven observers, and only lately have the sport writers been giving the No.1 offensive champs from Boulder much house.
Kansas has a chance to win its first victory of the season Saturday, but CU's two game winning streak cannot be discounted. Colorado over Kansas by very little.
In other Big Seven contests this weekend, it looks like Kansas State over Missouri in another tight game. If the mopping up that MU went through against Purdue last weekend is any indication of what the Tigers are going to be like this season, then things are looking pretty gloomy for the Bengals. But things couldn't possibly be that bad. Nevertheless K-State is our choice in what should prove to be one of the best games in the Big Seven.
Nebraska is playing at Lincoln—and that is the only reason why they should win. NU meets Iowa State in what should be a fairly even game since both elevenes finished in the Big Seven cellar last season. But Iowa State showed definite improvement in last week's game with Northwestern. The score was 27-14. Nebraska by maybe a point.
The second meeting of the newly formed KU Quarterback club was held Tuesday night with about 200 persons present. This was a membership jump of almost 75 per cent compared with the sparse crowd that attended the first meeting.
crowd that license It looks like the KU football team and Chuck Mather are rapidly developing a fan club which could possibly be a tough rival for the Red Peppers.
When Mather told the group that he thought it might be a good idea to have a question and answer period instead of showing the films of Saturday's game, the student quarterbacks were obviously disappointed. Mather said he was frankly surprised at the students' interest in the films of the UCLA game.
The group insisted that next week's meeting should include films of the Colorado game-no matter who wins.
Antonelli Gets Big Chance
New York — (U.P.)— Curly-haired Johnny Antonelli waited six long years for today, and he'll tell you that money isn't everything.
The New York Giant speed ball pitcher who goes against the Cleveland Indians in the second game of the Series, had the money, at least, while he waited for this big chance.
Last winter the Giants obtained him from Milwaukee in the big Bobby Thomson trade and, among a new set of playmates, Johnny found himself. His mark of 21 wins against seven defeats this season proves as much.
His memories, as he goes to the mound today to pit his blazing fast ball against the hungry bats of the Indians, are of that 1948 Series when he didn't even suit up and the Braves growled about giving him a share of the Series booty.
But what he wants, above anything else, is that new-found respect of his fellow players. You can get an argument in a lot of quarters, but 24-year-old Johnny Antonelli will tell you vehemently that money isn't everything.
This time he's out to earn it.
