Fumbles Plague Jayhawkers As Buffs Win, 35-27
By DON SARTEN
Boulder, Colo.—Getting there "fustest with the mostest" the University of Colorado ground out a 35-27 victory over the University of Kansas here Saturday, Oct. 6.
Playing before a sellout, partisan crowd, the Colorado backs swept Jayhawker ends all afternoon for fat gains. They also used about every play known off the single wing, including the old statue of liberty.
Bob Brandeberry, K.U.'s right half, was the leading groundgainer of the afternoon with 84-yards after 17 attempts in Colorado's stadium.
A tight pass defense and a better ground crew gave Colorado a well-earned conference win over the Jayhawkers.
Little Woody Shelton scampered his way 65-yards in nine attempts for the Buffs, and his side-kick, Ron Johnson, chalked up a few assists. He was credited with 81-yards in 12 carries.
But for the third straight game, it was Jerry Robertson and his deadly passing that kept K.U. threatening. Completing 50 per cent of his passes, despite the Buffs' tight defense, he used every receiver in the Jayhawk backfield to gain 201 yards.
Battling on even terms in the first half, despite fumbles in the first period that were converted into id's by Colorado, the Jayhawkers trailed by only a point, 14-13 at halftime.
It was a fairly even game until midway in the fourth quarter, when, leading 21-20, Colorado punched over two quick touchdowns for a 35-20 lead.
The first occurred when Ron Johnson used the old buck-lateral for a 17-yard sweep to the Jayhawk 32. Eight plays later Gene Venzke sneaked over to give the Buffs an 8-point lead.
They filed the clincher when Greenwood intercepted a Robertson pass on the 18. Bill Horton went off tackle for a td on the following play but a penalty nullified the touchdown.
However, on the very next play Colorado scored again when Horton passed to Venzke, all alone near the end zone. With a 15-point lead and three minutes remaining, reserves started piling into the game.
Robertson simply stood behind an offensive spread formation and started slinging passes at this stage, and wound up with a touchdown, a minute and a half later.
During the game the sharpshooting quarterback hit Bill Schaake for 15; Orbaon Tice for 33; Bob Brandeberry for 59; Charley Hoag, twice, for a net 56; Frank Sabatini for 16; John Konek for 15; and Frank Cindrich for 19.
Defensively, Hal Cleavinger and Bob Hantla worked overtime. Tom Brookshire, Larry Horine, and Cliff Vandeventer bolstered the Colorado defense.

Eight plays later, with Jordan and Hodel taking turns carrying the ball, C.U. scored. Williams kick good. 7-0.
Later in the quarter, after a Brandeberry fumble had been recovered by Colorado's Vandeventer, K.U. forced C.U. to kick on fourth down, and took over their own 7-vard line.
Advancing the ball to the 19-yard line, Kansas forced to kick, and Sheiton took on Buff's 35-yard line. He reversed to Brookshire who scored td. A 65-yard return. Williams again kicks extra point. Colorado leads 14-0.

On two plays, Jordan fumbled and lost yardage. Johnson went 29 yards on the final lap for atd. Williams again kicked good. CU 21, KU 13.
After an exchange of punts, and some low blows, (penalties were awarded freely for clipping and personal fouls) K.U. took over on their own 26.

K.U. forced to kick, and Colorado starts again, from their own 42-yard line. Thirteen plays later, using three first and tens, Colorado scored when Venzie went over on a quarterback sneak. Williams kick good for fourth straight time.
Colorado's Blackwell kicks to end zone, K.U. starts on own 20. Robertson's pass intercepted by Greenwood on 43, returned to K.U. 19. Hodel slipped between tackle and end for 6.

Work on the fieldhouse continues to be held up by steel shortages, according to J. J. Wilson, University business manager.
Shortages Hold Up Fieldhouse Work
Although Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy made a special trip to Washington this summer to talk with allocation officials, no "go ahead" has been received.
Mr. Wilson said every effort was being made to get construction underway.
Attend ROTC Summer Camp
Thirty junior and senior students of the University School of Medicine, Kansas City, spent six weeks this summer with the R.O.T.C. summer training camp. It was part of the medical R.O.T.C. program at the Medical Center. The men were assigned to hospitals at Ft. Bragg, N.C., and in San Francisco.
Eddie Stanky Is NY Nemesis
New York—(U.P.)—Casev Stengel calmly came out today with his personal pick for the World Series hero — pint - sized, pasty-faced Eddie Stanky, who is hitting a sickly 111
Stengel cited several examples to back up his claim.
"The other day, they (the Giants) got a runner on base and my catcher is lookin' to pick him off," Casey recalled. "The little guy (Stanky) was up and after the ball comes into the plate, he stands in front of it and waves to the guy on base.
"What could my catcher do about it? He couldn't throw, or nothing."
"See that thing he did in the third game?" continued Stengel, referring to Stanky's fifth-inning scissor kick which knocked the ball out of Phil Rizzuto's hands. "That was no accident. He knew what he was doing all the time."
"That little guy is a good kicker on top of everything else. You gotta watch him like a hawk. First time you turn away from him, it'll cost you the ball game. I gotta tell my boys to be more alert, especially with that little guy."
Texas A. & M. took off like a henhouse in a tornado at College Station and whacked Oklahoma, 14-7, to jar the Sooners for the first time in 30 regular season games. The Oklahoma loss threw a new light on the Big Seven race.
Colorado set up a mild tremor in the midlands by rattling the Kansas Jayhawks high-flying machine down to the rivets, 35-27, in one of Saturday's more impressive upsets.
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Big Seven football got down to dogfight level today, now that it appeared the 1950 National Champion Oklahoma Sooners are just plain folks fully capable of getting bead from time to time.
Today Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas were rated just about even in the chase for the 1951 championship, though Kansas now is one game to the rear in the lost column.

Dogfight In Big Seven Now Appears In Offing
This week's slate may not settle a thing, since the only conference games match Missouri's young, green team against Colorado at Boulder and Kansas State against Iowa State at Ames. K-State surprised itself by tying once highly-regarded Nebraska, 6-6.
The K.U. Table Tennis association will hold two all school tournaments, two or three open tournaments, and one tournament limited to club members during the school year.

By UNITED PRESS
The Giants would have been 134 to 10 favorites if the game had been played yesterday with Sal Magile pitching for the Giants against Johnny Sain or Tom Morgan for the Yankees.
Unbeaten Drake and its amazing halftack Johnny Bright, new national intercollegiate ground-gaining champion, made other teams in the Missouri Valley conference appear a trifle drab today.
PLUCKY WRESTLER
But it's a situation that is fluid enough to change. Houston's tough Cougars could change it, for instance. So could Tulsa's Golden Hurricans. But until they do, if they do, the show is Drake's, thanks to Bright, who now has gained 5,338 yards.
Reno, Nev.— (U.P.) -Yesterday's rain-out cost the Gliants their role as favorites in the fourth game of the World Series.
New York—(U.P.)—Rogers Hornsby, one of baseball's all-time greats, signed a three-year contract to manage the St. Louis Browns today at the highest salary ever paid by the club.
Bill Veeck, new president of the Brown's, announced Hornsby's signing, but it came as no great surprise. As a matter of fact, Hornsby was fired from his job as manager of the Seattle, Wash., Pacific Coast league club last week for refusing to tell the club whether he'd return next year.
NEW BROWNIE MANAGER
Lafollette, Tenn.—(U.P.)—A professional girl wrestler said at a hospital here today that she will continue her career although she lost her arm in an auto accident.
Frances Bauler, of Sioux City, Iowa, told hospital attaches that she will rejoin her troupe of women grapplers—billed as the one-armed girl wrestler.
RAIN COSTS GIANTS
- The club has 41 members. Any interested person is welcome. New members who want to improve their technique "may attend the clinics following the meetings held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the U.S.*
The S.U.A., which sponsors the club, plans to send a team to the Big Seven tournament again. The tourney will be held at the University of Nebraska.
the Union. Last year the club play seven matches with various clubs in Kansas and won the Big Seven tournament held in the Union last spring.
The club, feeling that ping-pong is an important sport, will try to gain some financial support from the athletic department to purchase equipment.
Officers of the club are Al Herrington, president; Charles Pine, vice-president; Caroline Crosier, secretary, and Allan Jones, treasurer.
FORD LEADS K.C. OPEN
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.R.) —A 28-year-old newcomer, Doug Ford of Harrison, N.Y., making his first bid for a major golf title, held a two-stroke lead over a stellar field today in the Kansas City open as the final 36-hole round started.
The Big Seven conference may have four backfield candidates for all-American honors in Charles Hoag of Kansas, Merwin Hodel of Colorado, Bobby Reynolds of Nebraska, and Billy Vessels of Oklahoma.
horns get through with Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas in the annual Texas State fair feature, the land south of the Red River may be declared off limits to all good Oklahomaians. The way the Texas outfit has been treating all comers so far the Sooners may well be in for their second disastrous Saturday in a row.
Kansas' Jayhawks, no longer sailing around in the clouds from their early triumphs over Texas Christian and Iowa State, should get down to fundamentals at Lawrence and smother Utah. But Nebraska, still minus the services of the young man who was to have paced the Huskers—Bobby Reynolds—will find Penn' State a rugged foe, even in friendly Lincoln.
Missouri found the lone star state, friendly, as advertised, except on the turf of the Cotton Bowl, where Southern Methodist was too much for the Tiger. The final result was 34-0.
Iowa State got a tie with Marquette, 6-6.
