ALONG THE JAYHAWKER trail
By DON SARTEN
In searching for something nice to say about a Saturday afternoon spent in Boulder, Colo., last weekend, we might congratulate officials in charge of arrangements for the annual high school "Band Day."
Better than 4,000 musicians, resplendent in various colored uniforms, paraded smartly past a jam-packed crowd estimated at 28,000. But unfortunately, the fans weren't there to see marching bands. They were there, primarily, to watch football.
We watched our boys spot Colorado 14 points and come back to make it anybody's ballgame at half-time, hang on grimly in the third quarter—then mellow.
Colorado faithful were well rewarded. We were disappointed. We'd have to be hypocrites to say anything else. We watched our boys against Iowa. We saw 'em spot the Cyclones 19 points and come back to win. Nobody quit.
We've since searched our minds to try and find the straw that broke our back. Maybe it was a guy that weighs about the same as a straw, Woody Shelton.
In our book the 145-pound seatback was the best offensive player on the field. Despite the fact that when Colorado would go into its huddle, the little dynamo would be obscured by the influx of fellow players.
But when the huddle broke up, he wasn't hard to locate. All you had to do was watch our ends. He went around or inside of 'em, all afternoon. In doing so he seemed to lean about three ways. Elusive? Ask a Kansas player.
Perhaps Shelton's handoff on a reverse to Tom Brookshire who went 65-yards for Colorado's second touchdown in 12 minutes, did the job. The handoff occurred after Shelton had taken George Mrkonic's punt on the Colorado 33-yard line, raced across the field to meet Brookshire and was promptly smothered by several KU players.
In one of the few times Shelton was stopped during the afternoon, he didn't have the ball. And if this was the play that made us fold, it must have been a delayed action explosion.
Because in the next quarter, we bounced back to pick up 13 points, and trailed by only 1-point at half-time, 14-13. Which gives birth to another thought, maybe it was Konek's missing the all-important conversion in his second try.
Some will say that Charlie Hoag's injury in the third quarter, or the aggravation of his old groin trouble that kept him on the shelf for the past two weeks, ruined us. We can't go along with that assumption either.
If Bob Brandeberry had been forced to leave the game, then the difference might have been chalked up to a player's injury. Although Hoag made fine runs, and was a constant threat, he wasn't up to par. A two-week layoff doesn't allow mer to play their best in any sport.
No, Mr. Brandeberry was, our offense. On the ground. But even he didn't seem to realize there is more than one way to travel on a gridiron. Making like a fullback, "Brandy" made his yardage straight ahead. One or two sidesteps, an inviting hip here and there, and he might have won some marbles for the Jayhawkers.
Our famed passing attack clicked—for the most part—but spasmodically. Jerry Robertson, when he could find an open receiver, was still parking the pigskin where it belonged.
Unfortunately, the Buffs had been working hard on pass defense, and Jerry was snowed under repeatedly. Not because he didn't have enough time, because there just weren't any receivers. Could this have caused our dropiness? Us laymen received the impression that there was a time or two when complete passes went to parties other than those the play designated. Out of sheer desperation. And we don't mean interceptions, although they occurred. This is a tribute to Robertson's quick thinking, because he had to perform the deed several times during the long afternoon.

They beat us, fair and square, but nobody will ever convince us that the best team won. We know better. Only thing we'll conclude Colorado is that their team did have more fans present.
Volleyball Loop Gets Under Way
The first week of play in the women's intramural volleyball schedule gave 22 teams a chance for action with the scores close and the playing unpolished.
By JACKIE JONES
Several of the teams look like possible champions, but must improve considerably to "fill the shoes" of the Corbin Jays who took the crown last year. Improved spiking and setups are needed by everyone.
Some of the more impressive teams to date are Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Alpha Chi Omega. Of these the most impressive victory was won by the Thetas, they took scoring honors of the week by defeating the Freshman-MJ team, 62 to 20.
The best game from a spectator point of view was the Miller hall victory over the Freshman-MR squad. The teams traded leads several times, but Miller came on out on top, 35 to 32.
Other games and scores for the week are: Watkins over Alpha Delta Pi, 41 to 26; Freshman-BH over Theta Phi Alpha, 26 to 23; Freshman-BA over Delta Gamma, 45 to 27; Alpha Omicron Pi over Freshman-KMM, 38 to 28; Kappa Kappa Gamma over Foster, 41 to 21.
Delta Delta Delta over Freshman-AA, 48 to 14; Jayettes over Chi Omega, 45 to 18; Gamma Phi Beta over Pi Beta Phi, 42 to 31, and Alpha Chi Omega over Alpha Phi, 46 to 24.

Rain Helps New York Get Pitchers Ready
New York—(U.P.)—The New York Yankees hoped today to take advantage of their break in the weather and even the World Series against the New York Giants today.
The Yankees, trailing their interborough rivals two games to one, figured to benefit most from the rain which caused postponement of Sunday's fourth series game at the Polo Grounds.
Manager Casey Stengel, growling over the manner in which his club has been playing, conceded that the enponement "is a fine break for us."
"Now I have my best pitchers ready to go and don't have to gamble on my second stringers," he explained.
Manager Leo Durocher agreed that the postponement was more favorable for the Yankees than his club
Test Big 10 Saturday
New York. — (U.P.) The first championship strife of this season in some- of the biggest conferences, plus a number of cracker-jack intersectional games, are on tap for the nation's football fans this weekend.
The biggest intersection game will be at South Bend, Ind., where re-vitalized Notre Dame meets once-beaten Southern Methodist
The pass-minded Mustangs, spearheaded by Fred Benners, will be seeking their first win in three battles with the Irish, who will be out to show that they really have regained the gridiron heights.
- The Mustangs, who bowled over Missouri by 24-0 Saturday, have suffered a one-touchdown loss to Ohio State. Notre Dame, unbeaten in two starts, trounced Detroit, 40-6, in its first night game in history on Friday.
The Texas Aggies, 14-7 victors over Oklahoma on Saturday, go against Nevada in a much easier assignment this week in another intersectionsal. And Holy Cross, which stamped itself as one of the East's top independents by thrashing Fordham, 54-20, meets Tulane, which dropped a 27-14 game to Baylor.
The Big Ten opens for business on Saturday with Minnesota battling Northwestern, Ohio State playing Wisconsin, and Michigan playing Indiana. Of this group, only Indiana and Northwestern were victorious on Saturday.
California, the nation's No. 1 team which handed Minnesota a convincing, 55-14, drubbing on Saturday, opens its quest of a fourth straight Pacific coast conference title by facing once-beaten Washington State. In the same group, Southern California, which downed Washington, 20-13, goes against Oregon State while Washington tries to recoup against Oregon. U.C.L.A., beaten twice, takes on that surprising unbeaten Stanford crew that drubbed Michigan, 23-13.
Kansas was penalized 100 yards in the Oklahoma A. and M. game last year.

"I would just have soon played Sunday," he mumbled, adding that he feared the rain may cool off his red-hot Giants.
Given Sunday's respite, which meant he did not have to take changes with rookie Tom Morgan, Stengel announced that Allie Reynolds, who was beaten 5 to 1 in the series opened at Yankee Stadium Thursday, would pitch against the Giants today.
Durocer stuck with his curve balling right hander, Sal Maglie, who won 23 games this season while losing only six. Reynolds won 17 for the Yankees while losing eight
"I'll probably follow Reynolds with Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi," Stengel said. "That way my top three men can work in rotation with their usual quota of rest."
While Durocher admitted that the postponement was more of a break for the Yankees than the Giants, he pointed out that Larry Jansen and Dave Koslo would now have an extra day's rest.
"That figures to help them," he added, indicating he would pitch Jansen Tuesday and follow with Koslo on Wednesday if a sixth game is necessary.
He left the impression that he had little doubt the Giants would have beaten Morgan Sunday had they played.
Morgan, with a record of nine victories and three defeats, was named to start Sunday's scheduled game that morning, Stengel having switched from his original nominee, Johnny Sain.
"I think we could have beat either of them," Durocho commented. "Of course, we already have beaten Reynolds but the fact remains that he figures to be tougher for us than either Morgan or Sain."
The forecast was for clearing weather for today's game. Tickets sold for yesterday's game will be honored today. Tickets originally sold for Sunday's game will be Tuesday.
The fourth and fifth games are scheduled for the Polo Grounds with the sixth and seventh, if necessary, at Yankee Stadium.
League Switch Made Stengel; Now He's Tops
New York — (U.P.) - Th re e straight American League pennants are crammed into the gnarled fist of Casey Stengel, who once dubbed himself "the best second division manager baseball ever endured."
Perish the thought, but even today the figures bear him out. Despite his three firsts as a Yankee pilot, Stengel's average finishing spot in the big leagues is fifth place.
Until he left the snug confines of the Oakland ball park after the 1948 season for the grim vastness of Yankee Stadium, Casey never had ended a National League season higher than fifth.
When Casey joined the Yankees he came into a strange league and a totally strange situation. This was no place for a guy who once had allowed a sparrow to fly from under his cap. There's nothing folksy or homespun about the Yankee organization.
It was a problem that called for a new Stengel. No longer would he appear on the coaching lines. This deprived the fans of the chance of seeing him make the long, head-shaking hike back to the dugout after each scoreless inning.
But in that dugout, and at the hotels, Stengel showed he knew how to handle something other than second division ballplayers. He still was a rugged graduate of the John McGraw school, pleasantly mellowed. And even if he wasn't sure of everybody's name, he knew how to play it when Joe Dimaggio—the big guy"—was in the dumps over a troublesome heel, or piqued over being dropped in the batting order.
