UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1951
DEAN WELLS, A GOOD BOY to have on your side will lead University of Kansas defensive units against Colorado Saturday. Playing his third year for the Jayhawks, Wells and his punt returns also make it difficult to overlook him in the offensive department. He performed particularly well against Oklahoma in his debut and has since been relied on heavily by Coach Sikes.
Sophs Dominate KU Grid Happy Warriors
The average K.U. football player this year weighs 190 pounds, is a fraction of an inch over 6 feet tall, is slightly over 19 years old, and is probably a sophomore.
These are facts revealed when figures listed on the K.U. football roster were tabulated.
Using these standards as a measuring stick, Morris Kay, sophomore fullback, and Warren Woody, sophomore center, most nearly represent the average player.
The figures also show that 25-year old Dave Schmidt is the oldest man on the squad. Three freshmen, Dean Ragon, Paul Leoni, and John Anderson are the youngest men, at 17.
Schmidt, who plays end, is also the lightest man on the squad, tipping the scales at 153 pounds. Compare this with husky Dean Reagon, freshman tackle, whose 240 pounds leads the squad in this department.
The entire 53-man group weighs slightly over five tons, with the individual average being approximately 190 pounds.
Ragon also ties Carl Sandefur
nortie tackle, and Orville Poppe,
juniant tackle, as being the tallest
man with a 6 feet 4 inches frame.
Pat Murphy, a junior who plays halfback, measures 5 feet 9½ inches, making him the shortest man.
Further checking also reveals that only eight of the entire varsity squad are seniors. Sophomores predominate with 24, while there are 15 juniors and 6 freshmen.
The average weight, height, and age for each position is as follows:
**Position** Wt. Ht. Age.
Quarterbacks 171 lbs 6 19 yrs.
Halfbacks 177 lbs 6 19 yrs.
Fullbacks 196 lbs 6 19 yrs.
Centers 192 lbs 6 19 yrs.
Guards 199 lbs 6 19 yrs.
Tackles 202 lbs 6-2 18 yrs.
Ends 182 lbs 6-2 20 yrs.
"Dutch" Lonborg, Kansas athletic director, quarterbacked the Jayhawkers to a 20-20 tie with Nebraska in 1920 and was starting quarterback in the famous "Dream Touchdown" victory over Iowa State in the same year.
New York—(U.P.)—Two dog-tired, desperate teams, still dead locked after 156 games of an amazing baseball season, meet at the historic Polo Grounds today in a single showdown for the National League pennant.
It's Newcomb vs. Maglie Today
The Giants called on pitcher Sai Maglie, 33, one-time Mexican League exile, to crown their fairy-tale stretch drive, greatest in baseball history, with World Series gold.
The Dodgers countered by nominating Don Newcombe, 25, flame-throwing righthander, to wipe out the memory of a six-week collapse during which they squandered a $13\frac{1}{2}$-game lead.
Today's winner meets the New York Yankees in the World Series, beginning tomorrow at Yankee stadium. The loser packs his bags and goes home with a broken heart.
The Dodgers were riding the crest of a 10-0 "must victory" over the Giants Tuesday in the game they had to win to stay alive.
The Giants hoped to rebound from the stunning reversal and prove they had not lost the magic touch, which carried them to 38 victories in their previous 45 games, one game too soon.
Both teams were ready to win or go down with the one pitcher they would most want firing for them in a "must game"—although you could not find two pitchers whose styles were more opposed.
Maggie had three full days of rest—his normal quota—since shutting out the Braves, 3-0, last Sept. 29 Newcombe had only two days relaxation after shutting out the Phillies for $5^{\frac{1}{2}}$ innings on Sunday only 18 hours after beating them, 5-0, Saturday night. Maggie was the skilled craftsman; Newcombe the young power-pitcher.
Maglie, deadpan and nerveless, had won 23 games and lost six. New-combe, shuffling and enormous, had won 20 and lost nine. Both pitched shutouts in their last starts and both carried strings of $14\%$ consecutive innings of scoreless pitching into the contest.
Durocher, desperate to "be back on top again," was the center of a violent controversy for having started erratic Sheldon Jones instead of Maglie in Tuesday's game. The second-guessers insisted Durocher should not have gambled with a six-game winner but should have gone for the kill.
On the other hand, some experts contended that Leo was better off with Magile against Newcombe today than he would have been with Lar-
CU Passing Potent
Statistics received from the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association show Bud Laughlin, University of Kansas fullback leading the pack of top Big Seven ball carriers.
The figures, released after two weeks of play, show all four of the Iowa State backfield in the top 11 runners. Three of the Cyclones, Stan Cozzi, Maury Schnell, and Frank Congiardo, are fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
Colorado's Woody Shelton holds down the number three position, with Missouri's Junior Wren<sub>r</sub> runner-up to Laughlin.
In the passing department it's all Colorado. Zack Jordan leads with 20 completions in 43 attempts for 308 yards. Jerry Robertson is right on his heels with 9 completions in 16 attempts for 248 yards.
The Jayhawker's powerful full-back is averaging 11-vards a carry.
But two Buffs dominate the pass catching division. Both Shelton and Hilary Johnson Sport Silver and Gold colors with Johnson, who is top dog, needing but two catches for a 108 yard gain!
Again Kansas has a boy trailing, Orbon Tice is third with 94 yards in three catches. Brandeberry, the only other Jayhawker appearing in the
top 15 men of the conference, is fifth.
Colorado's Zack Jordan is averaging 35 yards a try, but is in third place. A Kansas State boy, Dick Towers is on top. He has kicked one attempt 42 yards. (Hodel has punited 18.) George Mrkonic, K.U. tackle, is averaging 31.1, for an eighth place ranking.
Kansas shines in the punt return averages, with Jerry Bogue's 63-yard return giving him an average of the same. Hal Cleavinger, K.U halfback, is second, and averaging 33-yards a try. Dean Wells, another Jayhawker back, is eighth, and averaging 23-yards a carry.
Zack Jordan, the University of Colorado halfback who set a new national collegiate punting record a year ago, gets the headline-grabbing naturally. His father was an all-American at Dartmouth in the 1920's.
Big Seven teams and their records, as compared to opponents:
ry Jansen against Don should Maglie have lost to rookie Clem Labine yesterday. They point out that even Maglie couldn't beat a shutout.

The personal angle was almost as tension-charged as the end of the season-long struggle itself.
There is no team in baseball Durocher would rather beat than the club he once managed. And there is no manager at whom the Dodgers would rather scream "eat your heart out" than the once-lippy, but now-subdued, Durocher.
There was also a possibility-almost a probability-that a Dodger defeat would cost Dressen his job.
Dressen, who signed one-year contract last spring, appeared to be atop the baseball world only six weeks ago but the combination of the bad press some of his statements caused the club to receive and the team's collapse put his job in jeopardy.
A surprisingly small crowd of 38,639 turned out yesterday probably due to the scrambled ticket situation which caught the Giants' front office unprepared.
The great Jackie Robinson, who emerged as one of the greatest "money players" in the game's history, sparked Tuesday's 13-hit attack when he lined a two-run homer into the left field stands in the
first inning, Walker, Gil Hodges, and Ando Pafko also hit homers as the Dodgers eventually made a fala batting practice session out of the so-called contest.
Underdog Brooklyn Confident Of Win
New York,—(U.P.)—Brooklyn was in a "bring-on anybody" mood today—and that included the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker or even sal (the barber) Maglie.
"So, Magile figures he'll beat us, eh?" inquired an intrigued Jackie Robinson, merely repeating what he had heard.
"Well, I got some news for him. We His name is Newcombe, Don Newcombe. Did Maglie ever hear of him? If Newk's got his stuff, he'll beat anyone."
"That's right," agreed smiling Duke Snider, "if he's right, it ought to be one helluva battle. Boy, that be a ball game."
No one came out and claimed victory in the Brooklyn quarters, even after young Clem Labine's 10-9 victory yesterday, but it was easy to tell the Dodgers thought the Giants' number was up.
Assistant Coach Don Fambrough captained the Jayhawk Orange bowl team of 1947 and was a two-time all-Big Six selection at guard in 1946 and '47.
