Kansas State—patched but potent—will field a young and hard fighting team against the Jayhawkers Saturday in Manhattan. While the Wildcats appear destined to have another lean season and the Jayhawkers seem headed for their greatest year since the 1947 Orange Bowl club, the contest could prove to be closer than many observers think it will.
The rivalry between the two schools is as traditional as coffee for breakfast, and with competition that keen anything can happen. And the Wildcats will be out for blood.
Playing 15 freshmen regularly, Coach Bill Meek turned his Wildcats into a tremendous defensive machine last year. Kansas State showed some scoring power, too.
last season in defeating Missouri and tieing Nebraska to pull out of the Big Seven cellar since 1942.
Kansas State has not been able to snag a win from the Jayhawkers since 1944. That win was eked out 18-14. During the next three years from 1945-47, Kansas stopped the Wildcats to the tune of 27-0, 34-0 and 55-0.
Kansas has played 49 games against its neighbor and has won 32, lost 14 and tied 3. It is the best record that Kansas has against any of the schools in the Big Seven.
The Wildcats will not be a pushover this year. They have been getting tired of being the goat of the conference during the football season and have been working hard in recent years to build a strong club.
This season, although the club is still young, loyal Wildcat fans believe that they have the best team of many a year. Aiding the offense will be Veryl Switzer, a K-State defensive ace in 1951.
Switzer, as a sophomore, was one of the nation's top broad jumpers during the track season. He won second team all-American football honors for his work on the Wildcat defensive platoon. In preseason reports, some writers were picking him to be the outstanding back in the conference.
In at least one way, the Wildcats are looking forward to Saturday's encounter with the Jayhawkers. It might mean the return of several injured players. Larry Hartshorn, defensive tackle, and Jack McShulskis, en, worked out in sweat clothes yesterday.
Smiths, en, worked out in sweat clothes yesterday. So far K-State has an unimpressive record. The Wildcats opened with a win against Bradley university at Manhattan. Since then, the Wildcats have lost consecutively to Cincinnati, Missouri, Nebraska, Tulsa and Oklahoma.
However unimpressive that record might be, it will not be of any consequence when the Jayhawkers invade Aggieville. The Wildcats will be out to trim the Jayhawkers because of the friendly rivalry. Kansas must score an impressive victory to stay in the elite top 10 of the nation's teams.

Phi Gam, Sigma Chi, Beta, Sigma Nu Notch Another Victory in IM Play
In the fourth round of intramural football yesterday, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Nu added victories to their season's records.
The sharp arm of Phi Gam tailback Jim Potts started the scoring early in the duel as it found Bob Clawson waiting for a spot pass which netted 40 yards and a touchdown. Defensive lineman Jim Michener intercepted a DU pass to set up the next Phi Gam tally.
Rugged Phi Gam remained invincible by knocking off one of their strongest threats, Delta Upsilon, 32-0. For four straight contests the strong Phi Gam defense has held its foes to shutouts.
With the ball on the DU 12-yard line, Potts hit Carl Shutz for the second Phi Gam score. The breaks were all with the victors as Potts snagged one of his deflected passes and turned it into a touchdown.
and turned Clawson forwarded the Phi Gam attack early in the final period by intercepting a DU aerial and racing over the chalk marks for a score. Michener completed the Phi Gam scoring by receiving one of Pott's dump passes in the end zone.
other touchdown. Dumne fired a 40 yard pass to Mark Rivard for a score. The same combination clicked for the next Beta tally.
Sigma Chi took its victory the easy way when Alpha Phi Alpha forfeited.
In the fourth quarier, Beta scored almost at will. Dunne passed to Floyd and Jerry Brownlee to complete the Beta scoring.
Division II powerhouse, Beta Theta Pi, added Triangle to their collection of defeated teams by trumping the engineers 46-0.
Rolling back from last week's upset at the hands of Triangle, Sigma Nu rolled over Kappa Alpha Psi 29-0. Jim Castner used his passing eye to good advantage by passing
for most of Sigma Nu's scores.
John Strawn and Bob Dunne paced the Beta eight with their passing ability. A preview of what Triangle was in for was given when Strawn passed 30 yards to Jim Floyd for the first Beta tally.
The next series of Beta offensive maneuvers saw Strawn score on a pitchout and pass to Floyd for an-
Jimmy Burns broke up much of the offensive attack of Kappa Alpha Psi. Alex McBurney and Bob Ausman provided Sigma Nu with another scoring combination.
