Former K U Schedule Would Be Disastrous
Disaster probably would result if Kansas met Michigan State and Notre Dame this fall. Not many realize it but these powerhouses used to be regular Jayhawker fees during the 1930s.
KU met the Fighting Irish in 1932, 1933, 1935, and 1938, and tangled with Michigan State in a 4-game series from 1934 to 1938.
Failure to renew contracts with these rivals apparently was a shrewd move on the part of the KU athletic board. For the battered Jayhawkers emerged with no victories, seven defeats, one tie, and the grand total of 13 points.
Kansas dropped its '34 opener to the Spartans by a 6-0 count. Michigan State then went on to sweep its series with the outclassed Kansans, chalking up three straight wins in 41 and 39 encerring that third battle, held in Lawrence, the Daily Kansan reported:
The story, written by a staff
reporter, was titled "By one
who wasn't there," read:
Michigan State 41, Kansas Fights!
"The sun shone warm on Mt. Oread yesterday. Windows and doors of student residences and hangouts stood open to a gentle south wind that blew during the afternoon.
Into the vale where stands the Kansas Memorial stadium, 5,700 students and visitors wended their way and took their seats. Governor Landon and his daughter, Peggy Anne, were there. Everybody was there; the Jay James in their white suits, the KuKu's with their trick sweaters, the Chancellor, and dozens of other notables.
The University of Kansas band, resplendent in its West Point uniforms, played the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of the afternoon's program.
At the end of the afternoon's show, the band played the Alma Mater while the students sang. In between band numbers and drills, two football teams played a game.
One of the teams came from a state college in Michigan and the other was composed of a group of the home boys from the University. The score was only 41-0 in faver of the Michigan team.
Last year though, the Michigan team beat the home squad 42-0, so you can see the Kansas boys are really improving. With this slow win over at least four Kansas will the Michigan State in 1977. What a great day that will be."
Concerning the actual game writeup, the paper said: "In the first half of the game, the Spartans crossed the home goal two times, carrying the ball with them each time."
Kansas met Notre Dame for the first time in '32, losing a 24-6 decision in South Bend. The following year, KU scored a tremendous moral victory in the Indiana city by holding the Irish to a scoreless tie.
The underdog Jayhawkers got a pat on the back from the Notre Dame Scholastic two days later in a 4-column spread which stated that "The Jayhawks, picked by everyone but themselves to suffer defeat, were successful in upsetting the dope mainly because their under-rated line continually poured through the Notre Dame forward wall and raised havoc with the green-clad backs before they were able to get underway."
The teams didn't meet in '34 but renewed relations in '35 when Notre Dame won, 28-7. Three years later, the Iris poured it on, 52-0.
After this narrow defeat, Kansas called a halt to its series with the
