Darkness Calls Halt To Practice Session
Darkness was fast closing in when Coach J. V. Sikes called a halt to a stiff defensive drill he was putting his regulars through Tuesday afternoon.
Constant experimenting and shifting around of his squad produced a defensive end last night. Sikes made it official in the locker room after the workout.
"I plan to start this boy George Michale against Colorado," he announced. It was no desperation decision.
Michale has been coming along steadily and Tuesday was about the only bright spot in an otherwise drab workout. Frosh, working off Colorado's single wing formation, not only made plenty of yardage, but clicked off touchdowns with regularity.
Sikes motto revolves around rushing a passer off his feet. "On those attempted pass plays we oughta get an interception, nine times out of ten—if you guys will rush 'em.' The "you guys" were hard working linemen.
Sikes, who had been kneeling quietly in the varsity backfield suddenly exploded. When things quieted down again, the same change wrought in the Iowa State game was produced on the practice gridiron.
After these instructions, the frshh didn't have a chance. Still later, when a second defensive unit replaced the first eleven, they too showed well.
But as Don Pierce, publicity director, was overheard saying, "Those frosh don't exactly Colorado, The Buffers have Zack Jordan, Merwin Hodel and tricky little Woody Shelton to work their plays.
Ward Shakeup Drops Hodel To 3rd String
Mr. Pierce wasn't just passing the time of day. Roger Williams, Colorado's little-publicized quarterback, is a fair tosser in his own right, too. And last night's workout revealed a
Boulder, Colo. — (U,P) — Ralph Curtis today took over first offensive team fullback duties from Merwin Hodel, the nation's eighth ranking scorer last year in a shakeup of Colorado University's backfield.
Coach Dallas Ward dropped Hodel to the third offensive team, and named Hugh Davidson to do the line-bucking chores for the second squad.

Expect Close Game Against Colorado
Coach Jules V. Sikes said that Charlie Hoag, star Kansas back, probably would not be in shape to play in the Colorado game Saturday at Boulder.
Heog, who has an injured groin muscle, watched the Kansas team work on defense Tuesday from the sidelines.
Coach Sikes told the K.U. Quarterback club at Kansas City Tuesday that Colorado's versatile attack will force his K.U. squad to the limit.
shoddy defense to Sikes' experienced eye.
But it didn't take any experienced eye to note that nearly all passes attempted by the frash were completed. Most of the others were dropped by wide-open receivers.
Wednesday's offensive scrimmage will be dotted with a "few licks of defensive work," Sikes said.
Charley Hoag was running a few laps last night, but end Dave Schmidt was out—with flu.
This'n That; Here'n There
Reno, Nev.—(U.P.)—The New York Giants are 13 to 10 favorites to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers today, according to the Nevada Turf Club.
The club said those odds prevailed whether Don Newcombe or Preacher Roe pitches for the Dodgers against Sal Maglie of the Giants.
New York—(U.P.)-They called him a slave-driver on the first of September.
COACH OF WEEK
They called him a genius on the first of October.
It was a long and rocky road that Louisiana State's Gaynell Tinsley traveled during that one arduous month, but it paid off with an upset conquest of Alabama. So Gaynell Tinsley is the United Press coach of the week.
PRO GRID SURPRISE
Pittsburgh — (U.P.) — The experts who overlooked the Pittsburgh State National Football league future book wore a "what happened" book today.
Long characterized by their grunt- and crunch ground plays, the single wingers unveiled a five man "pitching staff" Monday to hold the favored New York Giants to a 13-13 tie.
LOUIS BOUT CHANGED
New York—(U.P.)-Promoter Jim Norris made sure today Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano would not get involved in the World Series.
He shifted the heavyweight contenders fight between ex-champ Joe and unbeaten Rocky from the Polo Grounds, Oct. 11, to Madison Square Garden, Oct. 26.
TWO TIGERS HURT
Columbia, Mo. — (U.P.) – Quarterback Bob Schoonmaker and halfback Jack Fox of the Missouri University football team were on the casualty list today and coach Don Faurot said they would be “out indefinitely.”
Chicago — (U.P.) — Australia's Dave Sands, who is ranked as the no. 1 contender for Ray Robinson's World Middleweight championship, was a 13 to 5 favorite to make a successful American debut tonight by beating Carl (Bobo) Olson of Hawaii.
The widely-televised bout, scheduled for 10 rounds, two less than the bout in Sydney, Australia, in March 1950, when Sands won a split decision over Olson.
Should Sands win, the promoting international boxing club has promised him a bout Oct. 31 here with Rocky Graziano, former middleweight champion.
AUSSIE CONTENDER
Comes the word from a gentleman who's task it is to designate a "student section" at games in Memorial Stadium. Encouraging word it is too.
Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager said that it is true the student's section is smaller. By two sections. "But since identification cards from the business office were not available," he said, "we just had to estimate probable student attendance on the basis of past records.
A decrease in student enrollment this year entered into decision on how much seating to set aside for hilltoppers.
In the future seats will be available for each holder of an ID card.
"And as to personnel other than students sitting in their section, that I cannot understand." He went on to say that only students are allowed on ramps leading into the student section.
"However, it may be that a faculty member or two was there," he admitted.
HOW NICE CAN WE BE?
To show our appreciation to you Mr. Falkenstien, we're going to let you in on a secret.
So—they're attempting a survey. When they locate an instrument, comparable to one used for measuring feet, they intend to measure posteriors.
A few volunteers, a few calculations, and presto—they'll have an "average space" for you to designate each student.
It seems that one or two of the boys are trying to be helpful. They're concerned about persons with broader "beams" overlapping onto their particular niche in Memorial Stadium.
Don't say we didn't warn you.
On The Baseball Scene
Don't know if it pays to know how to read or not. This modern era with its emphasis on education and more education, is certainly tough on followers of the sport page.
Didn't Leo Durocer still have Sal Maglie to pitch Tuesday?
Take the New York Giants' win over Brooklyn Monday. Now according to dope the following morning, in papers from coast to coast, that loss was all she wrote for Jackie Robinson & Company.
Who did the Dodgers have to use on the mound? Second raters. Bums. So what happens? Following good baseball strategy, Durocher uses Sheldon Jones, and holds Maglie for the opener with the Yankees.
Only Brooklyn beat 'em Tuesday So today it'll be Sal Maglie or Preacher Roe or Don Newcombe Neither of the latter have enjoyed much rest. So, since all the odds favor the Giants, we'll do the smartest thing there is in trying to pick baseball winners and bet on the losers.
