Large IM Slate Planned
An extensive intramural football program is planned for this fall, Walt Mikols, director of intramural athletics, says.
"We will have competition in two major divisions as we did last year," he said. "The main divisions will be the fraternities and independent teams.
"Then, if there are enough teams to warrant it, we will break these groups into smaller classifications, such as "A," "B," and "C." If a house or group enters only one team in the subsequent entries will be put in first, the "B" group, and then the "C" classification.
"As it was last fall, some houses may have more than just one team
in the "C" division, so teams from the same houses will be put in different leagues.
Last year Beta Theta Pi fraternity "A" winner, defeated the independent titlists, Jim Beam, 13-0, to take the Hill crown.
The 1947 Kansas Orange Bowl grid crew held Denver to a minus 23 yards in scoring a 9-0 victory in Denver. That same year the Jayhawkers mailed South Dakota State 86-6 for KU's highest point total in history. In 1923, Kansas blanked Washington of St. Louis 83-0. Kansas rolled up 662 yards on the ground and added 321 through the air. The Jayhawkers' worst defeat came in 1942, when the Iowa Seahawks rolled up a 61-0 triumph.
WELCOME STUDENTS AND FACULTY
For 30 years Gibbs' has been supply ing the apparel needs of K.U. men New up-to-date merchandise at downto-earth prices.
One thing that will not be giving headaches to football coach J. V. Sikes this fall is his line—unless it's the problem of deciding who will play each position.
Stop in and see for yourself.
Linemen Offer Sikes Few Problems
Only at center will Sikes have to use a newcomer, but with big Bill Nieder, sophomore giant who made the all-American high school eleven at the Lawrence high school, his problem does not seem too critical. Nieder suffered a slight concussion in spring drills last year and has practiced most of the time so far this fall in sweat clothes, awaiting a final O.K. on the injury.
Coach Sikes and his staff have a real dilemma at fackle—that of trying to pick front liners from a group of men and several promising rookies.
The guard situation is one of the brightest with returning co-captain Bob Hantla, Joe Fink, Hugh Armstrong, Don Angst, George Helmstadter, Dick Knowles, and Wayne Woolfolk. Sophomores Bob Hubbard, Dud Burdich, and Dale Birney will be around to press the oldsters. Any of the ten could land starting berths.
On the inside track for one spot is Bud Bixler, 6-5. 232-pound junior letterman. The big boy alternated between tackle and guard last year and turned in several exceptional

performances. Other lettermen battling it out are Joe Lundy, Orville Poppe, Dean Ragon, and Gene Vignatielli. A pair of outstanding sophomores to watch are George Carter and John Rothrock.
Only three valuable men are lost in the line by graduation and one other, Warren Woody, quit the squad last week. Positions formerly occupied by Merlin Gish, George Mrkonic, and Oliver Spencer are Coach Sikes' main concern at the present, but with the dearth of good vets and sophomores the line seems to be the least of the worries for the Jayhawks at this juncture.
Lonborg Recalled As Sports Great
Even with the loss of all-conference Paul Leoni, the picture at end position is bright. Co-captain Morris Kay, given another year of eligibility after a mild attack of polio sidelined him after last year's third game, was a defensive regular last year and has earned two letters.
Jerry Taylor, Harold Patterson, who lettered as a halfback in '52, and defensive ace Don Bracelin also could be in the starting team Saturday. Pressing these men hard are sophomores Gene Blasi, Mike Rogers, Larry Horner, and Dick Wogan, all of whom showed flashes of promise in the two fresh contests last year.
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, Jayhawkier athletic director, was at one time a well known sports figure because of his athletic abilities rather than his abilities as a director.
Lonborg is one of only 33 athletes in Jayhawker history to letter in three sports. He wrought another rare feat when he earned all-conference first-team selection in the old Missouri Valley in both football and basketball.
His mark is rather exceptional in football, in that he earned a berth on the All-Valley team as an end in 1919, and was then chosen as quarterback of the all-conference team the following year.
Lonborg came to Kansas following 23 years as basketball coach and assistant football coach at Northwestern. He won Northwestern's first Big Ten championship in 1925 and, during his career at Evanston, coached the college all-stars to six victories in nine starts against the professional champions.
