Second-Place Hopes Kept Alive By KU's 27 to 7 Win
By DON SARTEN
Capitalizing on breaks earned by alert Jayhawk defensive players, the University of Kansas kept alive hopes for a second-place tie in Big Seven conference standings with a 27-7 win over the University of Nebraska Saturday.
The game played at Lincoln in 28-degree weather, featured the punting of tackle George Mrkonic. The big KU line mainstay, who plays equally well on offense and defense—also recovered a Nebraska fumble, setting up the Jayhawks first touch-down.
Colorado cinched a tie for second with her win over Iowa State. Missouri remains in KU's path for a tie at runner-up honors.
And in the meantime, the entire defensive platoon continually boxed in Bobby Reynolds, Nebraska's "big gun" on attack. The Husker star picked up but 27 yards in 16 attempts.
End Davey Schmidt and linebacking Merlin Gish, along with Galen Fiss, were excellent on defense for the Jayhawks.
Jerry Minnick, Nebraska's top lineman, who has been out of the Nebraska lineup for two weeks following a head injury suffered in the Minnesota game, was a bulwark of strength in the loser's forward wall.
Thirty-four thousand fans, over a thousand of them Kansans—and many of the rest alumni of Nebraska celebrating homecoming shivered throughout the contest.
KU guard, Joe Fink, lost a tooth and part of another after a collision with Nebraska's fullback Ray Novak. Bob Hantla, Jayhawk guard, suffered a twisted leg.
A near gale-velocity wind intensified the discomfort of the fans but added to the spirit and snap of both teams.
Bob "Brandy" Brandeberry sustained a back injury but not before he had become the seventh KU player to gain more than 400 yards in a season. He now has 503 yards to his credit.
An official, Bob Miller, of Kansas City, was forced to leave the game after hurting his leg. The game was finished with but three officials.
Nebraska scored first, just before the end of the first quarter, when Minnick, a fine tackle prospect for Big Seven conference honors, recovered Charlie Hoag's fumble on the KU 20-yard line.
With but 45 seconds remaining, Novak crashed over. He'd carried the ball on three of the four plays it took to score. Bob Decker's conversion was good.
He promptly lateralled to Hoag, who flipped a wobbly pass to end Bill Schaake—all alone in the "Husker end zone. Konek kicked conversion.
Minutes later, Mrkonic fell on a Reynolds' fumble and four plays later KU had evened the score. After three plays hadn't gained a nickel's worth, Jerry Robertson entered the game at quarterback
After the following kickoff wont into the end zone, Nebraska started play from her 20-yard line. On the first carry, a "Husker back fumbled and Hoag recovered, on the NU 30-yard line.
With Strehlow again at quarter- back, as he was most of the game, Brandeberry and Hoag alternated carrying the ball.
"Brandy" went over nine plays later. Konek again kicked conversion and KU led, 14-7. Before the

half stopped them, the Jaywhaws had run the score up to 20-7.
Schmidt fell on a Nebraska fumble, just before half-time. But the Jayhawks couldn't score. The Jayhawks wouldn't let Nebraska backs go anywhere either, so with 45 seconds to go, Reynolds punted.
And the wind almost blew it back in his face. KU took over on the U8 34-束线 line, and on the second play, Hoag flipped another pass to Konek, who was well behind Nebraska defenders. Hello, touchdown
Final scoring of the game occurred after a scoreless third quarter passed, but with KU on Nebraska's 10 yard line, third down and six to go for a first and 10 as the fourth quarter started.
Robertson, playing quarterback hit Schaake with a short pass to the 5-yard line for a first and 10. Then Bud Laughlin, KU's hard hitting fullback, put his head down and crashed over standing up. Konek kicked the conversion, giving KU a 20-point lead she never relinquished.

Santee Beats League Record AsTwo-Milers Win18th Meet
charging Cornhuskers.
The fastest two-mile ever run in a fall dual meet was recorded by Wes Santee as he paced the KU tracksters to a 28-10 victory over Missouri here Nov. 3.
The only big-wig team which dropped out over the weekend was Georgia Tech and it hardly was disgraced, suffering the mild humiliation of a 14-14 tie with Duke
Princeton, which rolled to its 19th straight victory over an extended period to tie the school's all-time winning streak, had the best long-time victory record of the major schools.
Santee's time does not establish a new Big Seven record as records can only be broken at the annual conference meets.
The win was the 18th consecutive conference victory for Coach Bill Easton's two-milers.
The Ashland speedster covered the distance in 9 minutes and 13.7 seconds to eclipse the present record of 9:17.5 set in 1938 by a University of Missouri runner.
Herb Semper, team captain, finished second with a time of 9 minutes and 21 seconds.
Semper and Santee battled for the lead during the first six laps but long-legged Santee galloped out in front in the seventh and stayed there until he had snapped the ribbon.
The Cincinnati Bearcats led in victories among the major teams with eight straight this year while Stanford and San Francisco had seven apiece and Princeton, Maryland, Tennessee, Michigan State, and Illinois had six each.
Two more KU runners, Norman Bitner and Art Dalzell, finished the race before the first Missourian had crossed the line.
Dalzell passed both MU's Jerry Piper and Bob Fox in the last 50 yards.
Eight were major powers led by Tennessee, the nation's top-ranked outfit in the weekly ratings of the United Press board of coaches.
Unbeaten List Drops To 27
New York—(U.P.)—Just 27 college football teams were left with unbeaten, untied records today in the latest breakdown of the weekly shakedown.
Other runners were: Keith Palm- quist, KU, seventh; Pete Gallup, MU, eighth; Burton McVay, MU, ninth, and Don Reno, MU, tenth.
Olathe Beats B' Team 12-7
Quarterback Ray Feller led the Olathe Naval Air Station football team to a 12-7 win over the University of Kansas "B"队 Friday night on the Olathe High school field.
And it was another Feller--Don, a halfback of the Kansas team, who scored for the fledgling Jayhawks when he powered his way into the end zone from about 10 yards out.
The game was played in 25-degree weather before about 250 hardy fans.
A benefit performance for the Olathe Community Hospital fund, it was the third loss in five starts for the freshmen.
The only offense exhibited by the losers occurred in the fourth quarter. Olathe scored in the second quarter when halfback Ray Green hit R. Feller with a short pass. Feller was alone in the end zone.
The winning counter occurred in the third period when Feller romped 60 yards on a quick opening play through the middle of the Jayhawk line.
The "B" team will play its next contest against Missouri's "B" aggregation on Nov. 19. The game will be played at Columbia.

Ron White, Kansas varsity defensive right end, is a fine arts major with an eye toward a commercial art career upon graduation next June.
Sooners Near Big Seven Title
Kansas City, - (U.P.)The Big Seven football race wasn't in the bag today, but Oklahoma needed only a little more time to put it there.
Next on the Sooners' list is Missouri at Columbia Saturday, to be followed by Iowa State at Norman Nov. 17 and Nebraska at Lincoln Nov. 24.
The only other conference game this week is the Nebraska-Iowa State meeting at Ames. Kansas stays at home but steps outside the loop to engage Loyola of Los Angeles for reasons not exactly clear; Kansas State is badly matched against strong Tulsa at Tulsa, and Colorado's foe at Boulder is Utah.
For the first time in many seasons, the Big Seven has two desperate teams instead of the usual one. Kansas State at last has company, Kansas' good Jayhawks should ship Loyola back to Los Angeles in crates. It's a breather coming at a time when most teams are levying
Kansas State will find nothing tears against Tulsa. With Colorado, now sure of at least a tie for second, the problem is Utah and the way the Buffs go at certain times, the solution should please the fans at Boulder.
