Morris Kay in Hospital; Will Miss I-State Game
Morris Kay, Jayhawker defensive end, entered Watkins hospital Tuesday afternoon, and his illness was diagnosed as polio today.
Kay will miss Saturday's game with Iowa State at Ames. He has shown himself as an able defensive end in the last three games. His ability was displayed at a time when the Kansas team virtually was without ends, and his loss definitely would be felt.
Coach J. V, Sikes will run his defensive platoon in scrimmage today. Two varsity squads scrimmaged against a freshmen defense yesterday.
Columbia, Mo. — (U)P)— Another lengthy defensive session was scheduled today for Missouri university's Tigers as Coach Don Faurot put them through extensive drills against what he termed "SMU's many screwy offenses."

Faurot was preparing the Tigers for Saturday's battle with Southern Methodist university's five pronged offense—the single wing, double wing, triple wing, spread and Y formations.
Missouri played its first three games against T-formation teams.
The Missouri team was strengthened yesterday by the addition of Ted Follin, offensive guard who missed last Saturday's K-State contest because of a shoulder separation. Don Rutter, big tackle whose appendix was removed less than three weeks ago, also worked out in pads for the first time since his operation.
Faurot moved Jim Jennings, offensive end, to defensive platoon work yesterday, and the lanky sophomore was expected to see action both ways Saturday.
Yesterday's first team offensive backfield had Jim Hook and Tony Scardino alternating at quarterback, Nick Carras and Vic Eaton at halfbacks and Bill Rowekamp at fullback.

Ames, Iowa —(U.P.)— Coach Abe Stuber of Iowa State said today he was considering switching some of his players from position to position during practice sessions in search of his strongest combination for Saturday's game with Kansas.
Stuber expressed pleasure over the possibility that Lee Spence, a sophomore from Cherokee, might be able to play this year. Early reports said Spence had a broken cartilage in his knee. However, physicians said X-rays failed to show a break and that Spence may return to the lineup to bolster the injury-ridden Cyclones.
Platoon System of Football Adds Entertainment to Game
Chicago—(U.P.)—Jay Berwanger, one of football's all time greats, said today two platoon football has added a "tremendous amount of entertainment" to the game. $ \textcircled{*} $
Berwanger, who sparkled on offense and defense for the University of Chicago teams of 1933, 1934, and 1935, averaged better than 50 minutes a game in that era of little substitution.
"Sure, I guess we were what you'd call iron men, but it stands reason that a player schooled in defense alone makes a better defensive player than one who is tired out from offense and has to play both." Berwanger said.
The blond, former flash of the midway, now a business executive, said the days of the 60 minute man are a thing of the past.
"And it's a good thing too," he asid. "The way the game is played today more kids get a chance to get into the game, the brand of football is better and the fans get more for their money."
Berwanger said the last reason was a "funny thing."
"Everybody is always talking about the implications of the game and what good it does the boys. Well, that's all true, but it's the guy who plunks down the $3.50 for a seat every Saturday who pays the bills, and those people see a much better show with the two platoon system." Berwanger said.
An all-American in 1934 and 1935. Berwanger keeps his interest in football by officiating in Big Ten games.
"I get almost as much kick out of officiating as I did when I played," he said. "It keeps you in shape and of course, I get to see a lot of good ball games that way."
Berwanger's best game was against Ohio State in his senior year, a losing effort by Chicago, but one that won him universal praise from the Buckeyes for his offensive and defensive play.
Newspaper accounts of the game called Berwanger "one of the finest backs of all time." He consistently

made score saving tackles and was the only threat the Maroons could muster.
He made great runs, a demon passer and punted the hapless Maroons out of danger time after time. The fact that the fast charging Buckeyes won the game didn't dim Berwanger's performance.

Asked if playing on a weak team bothered him, Berwanger said he wouldn't change a thing about his collegiate days.
"We had a lot of fun playing football," he said. "That's the most important thing, and we learned a lot."
The Kansas Jayhawkers will meet their fourth straight pass-minded opponent Saturday when they play Iowa State at Ames.
Kansas to Meet Pass-Minded Cyclones Next

The Cyclones passed 18 times against Nebraska Saturday as they lost 16-0. They completed 12 for 124 yards. Quarterback Dick Mann is the club's passing ace. He led all Big Seven passers in total yardage last year.
Iowa State seemed to have little to offer in its running attack. It netted only 85 yards.
The Cyclone defense also appears to be weak. It allowed the Cornhuskers 351 yards rushing. The 39 yards Nebraska made passing is incidental in view of the fact that it threw only five passes in the game. Only two of these were complete, giving the Cornhuskers a 19.5 yards a pass average against the Cyclones.
Iowa State threatened only twice against Nebraska and only one of these threats was serious. This came midway in the second quarter when Nebraska fumbled on the Cyclone 45 and Iowa State recovered.
The Iowaans passed and ran to a first down on the Nebraska 10. At this stage, the Cornhuskers put up a defense similar to the one Kansas threw at Colorado.
Nebraska's rugged line play pushed Iowa State back to the 22, where end Bill Schabacker dumped Mann for a 12 yard loss.
The final Cyclone bid came in the third quarter. The Iowa team, trailing 13-0, drove down the field in its last attempt to get back into the game.
game.
Iowa State made it to the Nebraska 42 where it had only a foot to go on fourth down. The Cyclones drove into the line and were met by an unyielding wall. They ended the game on their own 11 yard line.
William Jennings Bryan, at 36, was the youngest man to run for President of the United States.
