P? Page 6 University Daily Kansan Monday. May 18. 1953 Fourth Quarter TD Pass Gives Alums 24-19 Victory Rv STAN HAMILTON BY STAN HAMILTON A three-yard pass from quarterback Red Morrow to end Otto Schnellbacher with six and a half minutes left in the game gave a spirited alumni team a 24-19 triumph over the varsity in the varsity-alum contest Saturday. Threatening weather held the crowd down to 700. The winning score climaxed a 52-yard sustained drive by the alumni. At the start of the final quarter, the alums trailed 12-19, but a two-yard plunge by fullback Bud Laughlin, on leave from the Army, brought them to within one point, 18-19, to pave the way for the winning touchdown. The alumni, using the now-defunct free-substitution rule, drew first blood when halfback Bob Brandeberry sliced off left tackle from two yards out after 11 minutes had elapsed. The ball changed hands seven times in the first period before the initial TD. Sophomore halfback George Fisher recovered an alumni fumble on the varsity 23 to halt an early threat, but four plays later Dick Gilman intercepted a Fuzzy Martin pass on the 22 and was barely shoved out of bounds on the varsity one. A fumble moved the ball back a yard, and then Brandeberry made the touchdown. In the first minute of the second period, the varsity struck back when Larry Carrier took an 11-yard pass from Paul Smith in the end zone. Smith was rushed hard on the play but made a nice jump to get the pass away. Carrier place-kicked the conversion. Just three minutes later, after the varsity took possession on its 20 when a George Mrkonic puntrolled into the end zone, left half Bob Conn took a handoff and raced 80 yards to score for the longest run day. The conversion was blocked, leaving the varsity ahead 13-6. Early in the third quarter, Laughlin made the first of his two touchdowns for the grads, bulling his way through the line from the four. His team trailed at that point, 12-13. The varsity roared right back however, to get another TD. Quarterback John McFarland sneaked behind the line after faking to two men and tossed a perfect pass to Paulous on the zone. The play started on the 24. The Alumni seemed to get its second wind then, and minutes later, Laughlin got his second TD on a two-yard burst through the middle. End Duane Unruh set this one up for the alums by recovering a varsity fumble on the six. Laughlin scored two plays after the recovery. The Jayhawkers fought gamely to increase their narrow one-point advantage, but the rugged alumni line, sprinkled with former all-conference men, and professionals, forced them to punt from their own 34. Floyd Temple took the boot and returned it five yards to the alum 48. A Morrow to Jerry Bogue pass put the ball on the varsity 28. Two more passes to Bogue and Bob McMullen advanced the alums to the 15. Following a five-yard penalty, Brandeberry carried to the 10, and a pass from Morrow to Schnellbacher put the ball through the Schnellbacher made his catch for the winning touchdown. McFarland engineered the varsity to the alum 25 in eight plays, starting from the 48, but an attempted end run by Conn for the necessary first down yardage was thwarted by end Bob Mayer. The grads took over and stalled out the clock with line plunges. The game, which climaxed spring drills, produced the largest score in the three games and gave the old timers a 2-1 lead in the series. In the '51 struggle the varsity lost 6-13, but won last year 14-0.

Chicago—(U.P.)—Felix Bocchicchio, manager of Jersey Joe Walcott, defeated challenger for the world heavyweight championship, will seek satisfaction for his fighter today, even though he can't get him the title. Walcott Manager To File Protest Walcott lost his bid to regain the crown Friday night when he was knocked out by title-holder Rocky Marciano in two minutes and 25 seconds of the first round. But Bocchichio had a three-point program to follow today, although there was no expectation that he could get the outcome reversed. First, with his attorney, Angelo Malandra, he planned to protest to the state boxing commission that Walcott suffered a short count, that Kansas Splits With I-State; Meets First Place MU Today The Kansas Jayhawkers after gaining a split at Iowa State over the weekend, face Missouri, the Big Seven leaders, today and tomorrow in Columbia. With the Jayhawkers contributing four errors in the second innning, the Cyclones scored five times to coast to a 10-5 victory in the first game Friday. John Brose, starting Kansas pitcher, took the loss, giving up 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings while walking two and striking out six. Two o Kansas' six errors were chalked up to Brose. In Saturday's game, big Jack Stonestein started an eight inning rally to help win his own game with a double. After Frankie Wolf walked, Bill Pulliam doubled Stonestein home, sending Wolf to third. Galen Fiss and John Trombold went out, but John Perry smashed a double to score Wolf and Pulliam, and then Rex Smith finished the rally by singling Perry home with the winning run. Perry was the leading Kansas hitter for the series, getting four hits in eight trips to the plate, including two doubles. He was followed by Trombold and Smith, who each had three hits in eight times at bat. Smith smashed a triple and Trombold hit a double in the first game. Kansas' Big Seven record now stands at 3-7, while Iowa State has a 3-2 mark. Only one Kansas error was made in the second game. Stonestreet gave up only seven hits while walking three and striking out three. Missouri, with an 8-2 conference record, has only Kansas and Oklahoma in the way of its second consecutive Big Seven title. The Tigers face Oklahoma this weekend in Norman. Missouri coach John Simmons will start his all-American ace Don Boenker against the Jayhawkers today, and will follow tomorrow with either John Jenkins or John Willingham. Both have 2-0 records, Boenker, with a 4-1 record, stopped KU 8-3 Monday. Kansas will face a lineup consisting of four .300 or better hitters. Bob Bishop, leftfielder, leads with a .364 average, followed by Bob Uriarte, third base, at .327; Jerry Schoonmaker, centerfield, at .321, and Buddy Cox, second base, at .305. The Bengals have 10 victories against five losses this season. Behind them in the conference are Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State, Colorado, Kansas, and K-State. Oklahoma with five wins and two losses, and Nebraska, with a 7-3 record, are the only teams with a chance to keep the Tigers from winning the flag. Then, with the commission, press, and officials of the promoting International Boxing club, he will view three dimensional films of the brief brawl, and finally he will attend a commission hearing on his protest. Babe Ruth once pitched a 14-inning World Series game in 1916. He won, 2-1, defeating Brooklyn.

Kansas 000 000 040- 4 Iowa State 120 000 040- 3 By UNITED PRESS Rain, Splits Stall AA Loop Positions American Association teams were holding their ground today after two split double headers and two rained out contests stalemated Sunday's play. St. Paul and Indianapolis got nowhere in their battle for third place. The Saints edged Indianapolis, 8-7, in the opener when Don Zimmer hit a tie-breaking home run in the eighth. The Indians came back to win the nightcap, 6-3, on the strength of a couple of two-run home runs by Joe Montalvo and Al Smith. Toledo and Minneapolis, each scrapping to get out of the cellar wound up where they started. The last place Millers edged out a 3-2 victory in the first game as Al Worthington hurled five hit ball. The Sox, under new manager George Selkirk, had the pitching in the seven-inning second game when Bob Chipman tossed a four-hitter at the Milkers to gain a 5-1 win. Scheduled double headers of Columbus at Louisville and Charleston at Kansas City were rained out. Kansas City continued to set the pace with a one and a half game bulge. Alumni Passing, Razzle-Dazzle, Highlight Varsity-Alum Game Rv STAN HAMILTON A number of interesting side- lights of Saturday's annual alumni- varsity football game might be brought to light. The grads really came up with some classy plays. In the second quarter, Jerry Robertson threw to Otto Schneilbacher who is turn lateralled to Bud Laughin. The whole play covered seven yards. Robertson and Laughlin pulled a Coach J. V. Sikes' varsity will have to sharpen up its pass defense before its campaign in September. The rusty alums, who made up a lot of their plays as they went along, managed to complete 15 out of 26 aerials for a 57.7 percentage. A team with well-planned plays could have connected on at least twice that many Saturday. The original 81-man Jayhawker football squad seems to have become somewhat depleted after five weeks of hard workouts. Sikes had only 55 men suited up for the game. The alums had 38. good delayed buck in the second period. Jerry calmly stood with the ball as if to pass and handed it to Laughlin who had been standing flat-footed behind him. Eud made 18 yards on the play. After the game, several of the varsity backs were heard to comment on the fifth man in their back-field, alum tackle Mike McCormick. The former pro was in the varsity backfield on about every other play. Assistant coach Don Fambrough a star guard on the '47 Orange Bowl team, spent the halftime stretched out in a corner puffing on a cigarette. Of the first two quarters, he said, "That's the longest half I've ever played." Schnellbacher, former all-American and all-pro for several years, commented at the half that his legs felt "mighty rubbery." It must have been true, for the star, noted for his defensive work, let one pass go over him for a TD and another for a substantial gain. Pressbox comment on Fambrough's interception of John Mc-Farland's pass early in the first quarter was that the player (coach) knew where the play was going. It did seem that he had the play well diamosed. Fans in the west stands were treated to some of Schnellbacher's wit. Once, when replaced by Bob Mayer, Otto hollered to his replacement loud enough for all to hear, "Thanks a lot." He kept the alum bench chuckling with his running stream of clowning. Leading ground-gainer (unofficial) for the varsity was Bob Conn, freshman halfback, who carried five times for 89 yards and a 17.8 average. One of his runs was for 80 yards and a TD. Second was George Fisher, who averaged 14.3, with 57 yards on four tries. Ralph Moody gained 31 on six carries for a 5.1 average. Red Morrow, who carried only once for the alums, averaged 31; Laughlin's 13 runs netted 58 yards for 4.5, and Bob Brandeberry averaged 3.9 on eight carries. The alum dressing room sounded like the Cave of the Winds at the half and at the game's end, as the "old men" sat around huffing and puffing from the exercise. When Henry Lamping was removed from the struggle after being in for about three or four minutes, he plopped down on a rolled-up turpulcin and didn't stir for several minutes. If one noticed the small blue bench on the alumni side of the field, he would realize why the grads were so hard to move on the field. The bench held up for a while, but finally collapsed under the weight of five of the huskies. Three of the penalties assessed against the oldsters were for delaying the game. The alums just hustled to the end, even with hustle coming out of the huddles. Interesting to watch were the alums' wives. Six or seven of them sat together and cheered loudly when hubby did something noteworthy. Laughlin, who received a weekend pass to play, was the work-horse for the alums. Now stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., the rugged fullback has one more year of college eligibility. He said he plans to return to Mt. Oread when he is discharged in 16 months. The varsity loss brought the Big Seven's 1953 varsity-alumni grid standings to 3-2-1. Missouri whipped their grads 28-7, Nebraska won 16-13, Colorado was victorious 6-0; Oklahoma lost to a power-packed alum outfit 7-14, and Iowa State battled to a 6-6 deadlock. Everything considered, the varsity turned in a creditable performance against the highly-touted alums. Considering that the old timers had two professionals, one former pro, and nine ex-all-conference men in the lineup at one time or another, and that four of Sikes' starters were freshmen, the visually did a tremendous job. They'll be rough this fall.
