Coach Chuck Mather's Kansas football team lost its first game of 1954 when the varsity was beaten for the second year in a row by the alumni, 21-0, Saturday in Memorial stadium.
University Daily Kansan
Last year the alumni won 24-19 and they hold an overall record of three victories in four games played against the varsity.
After having two touchdowns, muffled in the second quarter, the alumna was strong in the second half to score three. The fourth quarter for the victory
The first touchdown came in the first play of the fourth quarter when Galen Fiss scored from the 3-yard line, and Ken Morrow added the extra point by placement, making the score 7-0.
This scoring drive was started when the alumni recovered a varsity fumble on the varsity 27-yard line. Pat Murphy carried to the 23, 17 Reich carried on a fake pass play to the 8-yard line, and then Fiss carried the ball over the goal line on two plays.
The varsity came back on the next series of plays after the kickoff to the alumni 37-yard line where the alumni took over on downs.
The alumni then moved on Morrow's passing for the second touchdown. The two big plays in the drive were passes from Morrow to Ross Correll for nine yards and from Morrow to Harold Patteson for 41 yards, which carried the ball from the varsity 49-yard line to the varsity 8-yard line. Fiss went the remaining eight yards for the touchdown, and Morrow again kicked the extra point with Arch Unruh holding the ball.
The alumni then kicked off, the varsity fumbled the ball, and Dick Rossman recovered on the varsity 36-yard line. After an offside penalty and two incomplete passes, Morrow passed 19 yards to Bryon Sgerry to the 17-yard line. Murphy
draped to the varsity 8-yard line, he drove passed to Sperry for the third straight win and his third straight extra point to complete the scoring for the day.
The deepest the varsity was able to penetrate in alumni territory was to the alumni 29-yard line on the final play of the second quarter when John McFarland recovered a fumble.
The big alumni line completely stopped the varsity running plays as they were able to get only one-net-yard of rushing all afternoon. Mike McCormick, George Mrkonic, S. P. Garnett, completely jammed the middle of the line and played a good portion of the afternoon in the varsity backfield.
The loss of the afternoon for the varsity was the broken collar bone which Captain Bud Bixler suffered on the seventh play of the game.
The first alumni touchdown which was called back because of offensive holding, was in the second quarter when Morrow passed 18 yards to Murphy. The second one came when Morrow threw a
complete pass to Dick Gilman but it was caught out of the end zone, nullifying the touchdown.

Size, Know-How Big Factors in Alumni Victory
By TOM LYONS
Kansan Sports Writer
Know-how and weight were the big factors in the varsity-alumni football game played here Saturday in which the alums held Coach Charles E. Mather's team scoreless and won the game 21-0.
8:00 Great Moments in Music
8:00 Dancing in the Dark
A crowd of 3,500 turned out in the sweltering 85 degree heat to see the debut of KU's new coach, Chuck Mather. But the alums stole the show with the spotlight falling on Red Morrow, Gil Reich, Harold Patterson, and Mike McCormick.

The alumni, coached by former KU all-American Ray Evans, had the most fun playing the game. Without the pressure, which is always on the varsity, the alums were able to laugh and yell at the officials to their hearts content.

As the teams came out on the field Saturday, an elderly man sitting near this reporter said to his wife, "That must be the alumni—look at the bare heads." He was referring to a few of the alumni who had lost some of their hair since college days.
10:00 In the Mood
The varsity were making their first appearance of the year Saturday. Some KU students and fans were expecting to see an unbeatable team, but instead saw only small improvements. Although the varsity knows it has a long way to go we are inclined to agree with Mather that these improvements are a good start.
With about four minutes left in the game, Pat Murphy, alumni halfback was making an end run when Rex Sullivan, varsity half-back, cut the veteran down at the line of scrimmage with a beautiful and jarring tackle. Murphy lying flat on his back, reached up and patted Sullivan on his bright yellow helmet.

11:00 News and Sign Off
One of the improvements noticed Saturday was the spunk and hustle the varsity boys displayed during the game. Even in the last few seconds of the game, when the alums gained possession of the ball, the varsity kept banging away with no evidence of slacking up. Instead of walking between plays, the varsity ran, even at the end of the quarter when the ball was moved to the other end of the field.
Softball Halted Playoffs Delayed
Eight games were played Friday and Saturday in intramural softball, and two were forfeited. Sunday's makeup schedule was rained out.
Walt Mikols, intramural director, said this morning that the rained-out games would be played as soon as possible, and the playoffs would begin as soon as the regular schedule has been completed.

The third Kansas record came when Biller Stein outsprinted MU's Bill Constantine in the last 10 yards to set a :14.5 high hurdles mark. The feat equaled Biberstein's best mark to date. He ran the event in the same time at the Texas Relays.
KU sprinter Frank Cindrich knocked two tenths seconds off the old quarter-mile record, running a 48.6 race. The former record was held by two Missourians Elmer Klein and Dick Ault, who set the mark in 1947.
KU Sets 4 New Records In Track Meet with MU
WOLFSON'S 743 Massachusetts
Kansas trackmen defeated the University of Missouri 88-43 at Columbia Saturday winning first place in 13 of the 15 events.
The oldest dual-meet record on the MU-KU books was scratched when the KU mile relay team broke the 1936 mark with a 3:16.9, which compares to the old record of 3:19.7. Santee, running No. 3 behind Cindrich and Art Dalzell, made up a four-yard deficit and gave anchor Dick Blair a 10-yard lead in the last quarter of the mile relay.
Wes Santee set a meet record in the mile event with a time of 4:08.4, which smashed a 4:10.7 established by Bill McGuire of Missouri in 1950. Santee's feat was one of four KU record-breaking performances. Two Missourians set new meet records Saturday.
MU pole vaulter Frank Dickey set a meet record when he bettered Don Bird's 1939 record of 13 feet-6.41 inches.
Missouri's low hurdler, Leven Gray, cut two-tenths of a second off the former meet record, when he ran the event in :145. The former time of :147 was held by Floyd Gaultney and Bud Gartiser, both from Missouri, and who set the record in 1947 and 1948 respectively.
Sixteen drivers have qualified thus far for the Indianapolis 500-mile auto race, with the qualifying rounds to continue next Saturday and Sunday.
Trombold Signs Baseball Contract
John Trombold, first baseman for the Kansas baseball team the past season, signed a professional contract with the Chicago White Sox farm system Saturday night.
H e will report to Colorado Springs, White Sox farm club in the Class A Western league, on June 10.
Trombold, 20, is a 135-pound six footer, who bats and throws left handed. His hitting has been below par this season in Big Seven play, but he is regarded as one of the most dangerous power hitters in the conference by the baseball scouts.
Trombold was signed by White Sox scout Hugh Alexander, who has followed the first baseman's progress for several years.
A native of Wichita, Trombold was the captain of the Jayhawk baseball team for the past season.
Army private Billy Martin, lately of the New York Yankees, says that if the Army coddles athletes, nobody told him about it as yet.
The Tennis Twins (*Spalding-made*) are unmatched in their record in top tournament play. And here is the clfchning proof: The Wright & Ditson is the only official tennis ball used in all U.S.L.T.A. National Championships (since 1887). Official, too, in all U.S. Davis Cup Matches. Official adoptions of its twin, the *Spalding*, in other leading tournaments assure their championship stature in American tennis. Play the championship twins to your own advantage.
