Frosh Post 25-6 Win For Perfect Grid Year
The KU freshman football team did something Friday at Missouri university that the varsity has not been able to do—completed two touchdown passes—and defeated the little Tigers 25-6, for KU's second victory in as many decisions this fall.
The victory, along with the season opening drubbing of K-State 67-32, marked the first time since 1949, when Charlie Hoag was a frost, that the yearling team has won both its contests. Big Seven regulations permit only a pair of frush games per year.
Kansas capitalized on seven fumbles and some long runs rack up the triumph.
Coach Wayne Replogle's charges got their first TD quickly when Missouri's Sonny Stringer fumbled when trying to catch a punt on the MU 34. Kansas recovered and in three plays fullback Otho Sweazy bucked over from the six. He also booted the conversion, the only one of four he was able to make.
In the second quarter the teams battled around midfield and KU's first quarter score was the margin at the intermission, which was shortened to five minutes to allow the afternoon game to be completed before dark.
Early in the third period quarterback Tom Slaymaker unscored a 28-yard pass to halfback Dwight Dinsmore to up the margin to 13-0, and threw 35 yards to halfback John Schleicher for the second score in that quarter with just seconds remaining on the clock.
These two completions were the only ones that found their mark for the Jayhawkers in eight attempts. Missouri completed four of 15. In rushing KU gained 146 yards to MU's 123.
Schleicher counted another 6-pointer early in the fourth quarter when he bulled over from the six. The score was set up by a pass interception and a goal of the third period. Mellott threw the Missourierial on the
46 and ran it back to the six. He fumbled there as he was tackled from behind, but an alert Kansan fell on the ball. Schleicher scored on the first play.
Missouri's sole tally came later in that period when halfback Jim Hunter returned a kickoff to the Tiger 35 and led a sustained drive of 65 yards to score on a 4-yard end run.
After the game Replogle had nothing but praise for his team.
"These kids are great," the coach said. "The coaching staff deserves no credit with a group like this. These boys have tremendous desire and are the finest I've ever known of or worked with."

Oklahoma can move a step closer to its title bid and a trip to the Orange Bowl this Saturday when it takes on last place Iowa State at Norman, Okla., and Kansas State can cement second place with a victory over Missouri at Columbia.
The K-State Wildcats will be taking a long loss streak with them when they tangle with MU—they have not beaten the Tigers since 1938. If OU should lose either to the Cyclones or to Nebraska, which it plays the next weekend, K-State, by whipping MU, could wind up in a first place tie.
In other contests Saturday Colorado invades Nebraska for a battle between the third and sixth ranked elevens. Colorado has nothing to lose, even a victory would not move it ahead of Kansas which plays a non-league affair against Oklahoma A&M at Lawrence.
But should Nebraska win and Missouri lose to K-State, the Cornhuskens would move into undisputed third place. An NU loss would shove t back to a tie with fifth place Kanias.
Pictures and a paragraph about KU's two football co-captains, Bob Hantla and Morris Kay, are in the December issue of Sports Magazine in a story about football captains in the nation.

Once there was a Senior who was Shy. (Look, this is a story. It permits certain liberties with the truth.)
He'd call up a Girl, stammer incoherently through the Preliminaries, gurgle helplessly through the Bicuspids, and hang up. Dateless. One day his room-mate took him in hand, "Herman, old buddy," he said, . . . and unfolded a Plan.

Next day the Big Girl on Campus got a Telegram. A tense message. Simply: "Will pick you up at eight P.M. Friday, Regards. Herman H. Glockenspiel." She was Intuckered and waiting when Herman sheep-ished up the steps of her Sorority house.
"Are you Herman H. Clocken

Warren Rouse took third, George Gilmore, fourth, and Don Ladd, fifth. Kansas' Al Frame, who became ill on the plane flight to Norman, finished sixth, and Lloyd Koby and Dick Wilson, both of KU, took seventh and ninth, respectively.
Wes Santee and Art Dalzell ran 1-2 in near-freezing, weather Friday at Norman, Okla., to pace the Jawhawk cross country team to a 16-20 decision over Oklahoma. It was the 27th consecutive victory and fifth this season for Coach Bill Easton's distance men.
Santee broke the tape in 14:57, about 10 yards ahead of Dalzell, who ran part of the last mile with a sharp side ache. Third, fourth, and fifth places went to the Sooners who came within a hair's breadth of up-setting the high-flying Javhawks.
Kansas will go into the Big Seven conference meet here Saturday with triumphs over Oklahoma A&M Texas A&M, Drake, Missouri, and
A cold misty rain fell throughout the 3-mile meet, and the team was forced to cancel its plans for returning Friday night because of snow storms along the planned route. The runners returned Saturday morning.

Eight Grid Teams Win, Bye To Advance to IM Semifinals
Phi Delt and Beta I in Fraternity "B," and Jim Beam and Liahona in independent "A" turned in initial round triumphs Friday to press on the semifinals of their respective intramural football playoffs. Also moving into their division semifinals were Phi Fsi, Phi Gam, Battenfeld hall and Twin Pines, who received bives.
Jim Beam 21. Stephenson 0
Behind a well-balanced offense,
Jim Beam, runner-up for the 1952
Hill championship, surged to a 21-0
decision over Stephenson. The Jim
Beam defense, which hasn't yielded
a point all season, completely stiffed
Stephenson's attack as it held them
to but one first down.
Seconds later Jim Newby intercepted a Sigma Chi pass and carried to the loser's 7-ward line. From there Innes Phillips hauled in Nettle's third TD toss of the day for the winning margin.
Dick Reich tossed for two Jim Beam TDs with Bob Trego and Larry Cheatum on the receiving end, while Jim Morehead fired to Reich for another.
Beta I 20. Sigma Chi 13
Phi Delt 6, Beta II 0
Phi Delt marched to a second quarter touchdown and then relied on rigid defensive play to edge Beta
Sigma Chi bounced back for a pair of markers in the second quarter toorge into the lead, 13-6, both 6-pointers on airials from Jerry Witt to Dane Lonborg. Nettels unleashed a heave to Harold Greenleaf in the fourth for the second Beta counter. John Prosser booted the extra point to knot the score at 13-13.
Beta I 20, Sigma Chi 13
Exploding for a pair of fourth period counters, Beta I overcame a 6-13 half-time deficit to rip Sigma Chi 13. Beta I held until paces dirt as he struck through the airplanes in the opening stanza, Curt Nettels firing to Jack Elvig for the score.
Oklahoma. The OU loss was its third in three meets this fall. It fell before Oklahoma A&M and Texas A&M.
II 6-0. The Phi Delt drive was climaxed by a Bob Smith to Del Haddie pass.
Liahona 12, NROTC 6
In the final tussle of the day Liahona rolled to a 12-6 verdict over NROTC.
Today's semifinal tilt will pit Phi Gam and ATO, and Beta vs. Phil Dolt in Fraternity "A" action, and Jim Beam vs. Battenfeld, and Lighona vs. Twin Pines in Independent "A."
