Page 4 University Daily Kansan Friday, September 18. 1953 Jayhawks to Ft. Worth For Night TCU Game By ED HOWARD Assistant Sports Editor Kansas and Texas Christian University, both rated dark-h in their respective conferences, the Big Seven and South tomorrow in Ft. Worth, the 11th meeting of the Kansas will be trying to make up for lost time, as TCU has won six of the previous contests to two for the win. Two games were scoreless ties. Kansas, with a top-flight line and little-known backs, will meet a new Texas Christian offense. Coach Abe Martin, who took over when "Dutch" Meyer was elevated to TCU athlete position, played the double wing and spread formations, and replaced them with the split-T and single wing. With little experience from playing single wing teams, Kansas may run into trouble. The Jayhawkers should have no trouble with TCU and have used variations of, and played against teams using that offense. The Horned Frogs are admittedly weak in the line, particularly so at ends, but their backfield boasts the feared Ray McKown at quarterback, Ronald Clinkscale at left halfback, Ben Davis at right halfback Sammy Morrow, all of whom are lettermen with considerable experience. With inexperienced backs, the Jayhawkers, on the other hand, can only hope that hustle and drive can overcome lack of experience. Barring injury and other unforeseeable events. TCU should line up as follows: Ends, John Crouch and Guy Thompson; tackles, Marshal Harris and R. C. Harris; guards, center, Bob White; backseach; center, Bob White and McKewn Clinkscale, Fraley, and Morrow in the backfield. Average weight in the Frog starting backfield is just under 180 pounds, while the line averages 204 pounds. Kansas' starting backfield probably will be John McFarland at quarterback. Done Hess at left half, Kaleb Moody, right half, and fullback Frank Sabatini. Sabatini has two more targets. Sabatini one, while Moody and McFarland are coaches. Neither Hess nor Sabatini were regulars. During half-time at Ft. Worth, Sammy Baugh, lanky Texan who became one of football's immortals and greatest passers, will be officially initiated into football's Hall of Fame. College Football Begins Tonight New York—(U.P.)R. The 1953 college football season explodes into action under the are-lights tonight with powerful UCLA battling Oregon State at Los Angeles in the first "big game."

Other leading games tonight include Alabama-Mississippi Southern, Denver-Colorado college, Detroit-North Dakota State, San Jose State-Idaho, and Temple-Albright. Highly-touched Maryland will be a one-touchdown pick over Missouri, while in other leading intersections.
