Wildcats, Tigers Work Out For Weekend Tilts Manhattan—(U.P.)—Elmer Creviston, senior fullback, apparently had himself a starting spot today at fullback in the Kansas State football lineup. Making a comeback after laying off last season because of injuries, Creviston is working out this week in the No. 1 backfield with Carl Albacker, quarterback; Corky Taylor, left halfback, and Dick Towers, right halfback. Coach Bill Meek of the Wildcats said that Creviston had won the right to a first-team trial by his brilliant performance in Monday's intra-squad scrimmage. Creviston broke away for several long gains in practice to impress the coaching staff. He had been used in a reserve role in each of the Wildcats three games this fall and had averaged 6.5 yards in 15 carries. Kansas State worked behind locked gates at the practice field yesterday afternoon. Nearly every-one in the backfield took a turn throwing the ball. Thursday, Oct. 9, 1952 Columbia, Mo. — (U.P.)— Missouri University's football team had full-back trouble today. With only three days remaining before Saturday's game with Southern Methodist, regular fullback Bill Rowekamp, who rushed for 99 yards in 22 trys last week, still was hampered with a kidney injury. He was not taken up yet; rather but did not take part in contact work. Bob Bauman, number two full-back, also was hampered with an ankle injury, so Coach Don Faurot played team on the No. 1 offensive shirt. The Tigers worked on defense and planned a lengthy offensive drill on split-T and spread plays today, but will have no contact work. Charles Feels Ready Again Cincinnati —(U)P. A new and confident Ezzard Charles, fresh from a quick knockout over Bernie Reynolds, said today he "felt good" and was ready for anybody in the heavyweight ranks. The former heavyweight champion covered the first mile on the long comeback trail last night when he landed a smashing right to Reynolds' jaw at 1:40 in the second round of a scheduled 12-round bout here. Some 3,710 fans saw a different Charles last night as he came out slugging in the first round instead of his usual crafty style of boxing for points. He started fast and had the Cliffside, N.J., heavyweight reeling and stunned from his hard left jabs. Reynolds weighed in at 187 to Charles' 189. Jake Mintz, Ezzard's manager, announced immediately after the fight that the former titlist would meet Cesar Brion in Madison Square Garden Oct. 24. Mintz said Charles would go into training Saturday. University Daily Kansan In the second, and what proved to be the final round, Charles bloodied Reynolds' nose with a smashing left jab. He staggered the ex-marine with a series of combination punches to the head, and Reynolds, dazed, was an easy target from there on. Charles then moved in the devastating short right that dropped the bleeding Reynolds for the count.

Kansas Places No One First In Big Seven Statistics Race No Kansas man is leading the Big Seven in regard to rushing, passing, receiving, punting and scoring statistics, although the Jayhawkers are crowding many of the league leaders. Charlie Hoag probably made the most startling rise in the conference statistics. Last week he was not listed in the scoring statistics, but on the basis of his three touchdowns scored in the Kansas-Colorado game, he jumped into a tie for third place.
