Jayhawks Shake Off Deficit: Win Thriller 53-33
Bv DON SARTEN

A slow starting University of Kansas team found itself after a quarter and a half of stumbling around in Memorial stadium Saturday. Shaking off a 26-7 deficit Iowa State had added up, they went on to win themselves a ball game. 53-33.
In doing so they had to break a record or two. They made three touchdowns in the first half without recording a first and ten. The total score was the highest known in the history of combat between the two teams.
Last, but not least, they managed to score three touchdowns in five minutes. The T.D.'s occurred at the height of a Jayhawk offensive display, early in the fourth quarter.
In the meantime a gauntlet of emotions was being run by K.U. grid followers.
A tightly packed student section watched in fascinated surprise as Iowa State, featuring the running of Stan Cozzi, Maury Schnell, Emery Eichorn and Frank Congiardo, made the Kansas defense appear high schoolish. For the first quarter and a half.
But even then rays of sunshine filtered in. Bud Laughlin, playing the game of his collegiate career, twice broke thru an Iowa defense that was smearing everybody else, for touchdown ramles of 65 and 88-vards, respectively.
Gloom filled hearts of even the most pessimistic during this time as Cyclone backs gained at will, and soon had a 26-7 lead.
The big fullback's display was about the only one around in that first half. Jerry Robertson's debut was marred when he was smered not once, but twice, before he was allowed time to even look for a receiver.
But on the third try he spotted Orbon Tice near the Iowa 8-yard line and promptly fattened his reputation with a perfect spiral to Mr, Tice that put Kansas back into the game, just before the half, 26-21.

Ex-Cadet Enjoys Civilian Living
Gilbert Reich, engineering junior from Steelton, Pa., finds life at the University of Kansas very different from that at West Point. "Because existence at West Point is based on discipline and regimentation," he explained.
Cadets may have one night a week free until 12 p.m. They take identical courses which compare with the civil engineering curriculum at K.U.
Every cadet has classes from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. six days a week. Classes are more formal than at KU. Gil noted. Profs require daily recitation of every cadet.
In math and similar courses, each cadet has a special space at the board to work problems. Since a trade is given every day in each subject "it is necessary to keep up," he said with a wry grin.
From 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Gil practiced for various sports. He played defensive safety and offensive quarterback, basketball and center-field in baseball.
Financially, West Point is a "good deal" for a cadet, he said. Each cadet receives $70 a month towards his uniform, meals, and laundry. What is not spent is saved for him. The average cadet saves $1,000 from his pay by the time he graduates, Reich explained.
A big difference noted was in people. Easterners are friendly, but people here seem more sincere.
Life at K.U. is more relaxed, Reich felt. Enrolling here is more difficult, however. At the academy he was handed a little card and that was it.
Gil is in the R.O.T.C. He will be eligible for his commission at the same time his class at the Academy is graduated.
His brother Dick is now a plebe at the academy and plays on the Army football team.
Concerning Army's coach Blaik, Gil said, "He is the finest man I ever have had the privilege of knowing." Reich went on to say that he believed the Army team, although green and inexperienced, would "surprise a lot of people before the year is over."
Hope prevailed but halftime discussions were punctuated by cautious resumes filled with admiration for Iowa State.
But shortly after the third period opened, caution was thrown to the winds and cheering filled the stadium as it became apparent that the Hawkwaters were on the road back.
After an exchange of punts hinted that Iowa's attack had spent itself, Dean Wells intercepted a pass on the Iowa State 23, and five plays later, Bob Brandeberry crashed over right guard to put Kansas into a lead they never relinquished, 27-26.
Then in rapid-fire succession, Robertson hit Tce with a 45-yard pass which the big end took on the Iowa 15, and went on over. Seconds later Iowa was forced to punt, and again Robertson started firing.
This time he hit Frank Cindrick, And Cindrich has all the earmarks of a future "great" as he gathered in Robertson's delivery on the Iowa 5, and rolled to the 2. Again Brandeberry crashed over for the TD, icing the game for K.U. as the scoreboard read. 40-26.
An Iowa quarterback, Dick Mann,
who had been a thorn in the hill-
toppers side all afternoon with his
spot passing, slipped one into the
arms of a K.U. halfback, John Konek,
who gathered it in on his own 40-
yard line, and went all the way.
Dave Schmidt, and Dick Rossman cleared a trail for Konek's run. Freshman Dick Pulliam's conversion made it 47-26.
A minute later, Jerry Bogue returned an Iowa State punt 61 yards, only to have it nullified, for an illegal use of the hands penalty.
But minutes later, Cindrich and Brandeberry, with an assist from Laughlin, who carried it over from the 1-yard line, had the score reading, 53-26. Pulliam's second attempt hit the goal post and bounced back onto the field. It was the frost's first miss in six attempts. He had marked up four in the Bee game on the previous night.
Iowa State picked up its final tally with a 50-yard march, filled with accurate passes from Mann to various receivers. Dick Cherpinsky's 2-yard plunge carried it over.
"I think we have a couple of boys who can pick up an all-important conversion or two this year," he had said in pre-season talks.
On the defense tackle George Mrkonic, halfback Hal Clewinger, and Hantla were standouts. "Big George" was in on at least half the tackles in the miserable first half.
Almost unnoticed in all the scoring, was the fulfillment of a prophecy made by Coach J. V. Sikes over a week ago.
Konek and Pulliam proved their capabilities. Extra point tallies by Konek in the first half looked huge at halftime.
New York- (U.P)—Allie Reynolds—with two no-hitters in one season—clinched a select spot in baseball's archives Saturday while his New York Yankee team-mates, in a little more hum-drum manner, clinched their 18th American League pennant.
Reynolds Pitches Second No-Hitter
"Was I impressed by the fact I pitched two no-hitters this season?" Reynolds rolled the question over in his mind after holding Boston hitless in yesterday's opener.
"I dumno...really, I don't," he answered. "I don't even know if the fans we... impressed. Baseball fans in New York are very hard to impress. They're used to victories... But you sure make a bad impression with 'em when you lose."
DEAN WELLS IS SHOWN ARRIVING at the end of the road. Seconds after this shot, the Jayhawk's left half was snowed under by a swarm of eager Iowa tacklers shown converging in from all sides. On the left is No. 30, Iowa's star fullback, Maury Schnell, about to apply a tackle. Schnell's injury cleared up prior to the Saturday clash and he played an outstanding game. Other members of the Cyclone team "trying to get into the act" are unidentified.

Head coach J. V. Sikes wasn't the only unhappy person around the Memorial Stadium gridiron last Saturday. And his temper was extinguished after about 15 minutes. Not so the tempers of many, many students who tried to find non-existent seats in a jumpacked student section. . .
And what seemed to many as adding insult to injury, was the fact that only about three-quarters of the stadium was filled. But students still were not allowed to sit any place but in the one section.
We fail to see why students could not have been allowed to fill vacant seats, in any part of the stadium, after 10 or 15 minutes of the first half elapsed.
Ushers, though admittedly doing their job in keeping students from "going over the wall," remind us of our many "justice without a heart" laws. Rules that allow "big boys" off with light sentences for big mistakes, and put "little fellas" away for long years, if they're caught stealing bread.
"And the darned think seems smaller than ever, this year," students wailed.
Complaints were heard that either alumni or parents of students took many of the seats reserved for students. But all felt that more room was needed.
In other words, common sense should have been, and is going to have to be—used. If it is impossible to provide more seats for students, despite the money they've sunk in activity fees, then the least that can be done is open up other sections, after it is apparent that most of those wanting in—are in.
But the situation did have its lighter side. One female in distress told us that she located a place on the steps, up behind the band. But every time any touchdowns were made a French horn player jumped up and started playing a tune. "Made it a little difficult to see," she explained.
ON THE BASEBALL SCENE
Seems our critic of a week ago wasn't just passing the time of day when he violently disagreed with a prophecy, by anybody, that Cleveland was going to win the A.L. bunting. Now we can't help but wonder whose side he's on in the National.
We find it hard to take a side. While admiring the Giants, we still like the Bums. Can't help but recall that manager Charlie Dressen wasn't supposed to be able to shine Durocher's shoes, let alone fill 'em. But he's done all right for himself, over the season.
On the other hand, Durocher is going down in history as one of the game's greatest managers, whether he wins or loses in the upcoming series with Brooklyn. The man who feels that "nice guys don't win ballgames," rates all the admiration our nation can give him.
But we don't look at the sport like he does. We'll go along with another famous man and figure that "it matters not who wins, or loses, but how you play the game." Thank you Knute Rockne.
Bee Team Wins; Vignatelli Stars
Playing good solid football, the University of Kansas "B" team balanced the books with a 28-0 winning performance over a visiting Iowa "B" squad Friday afternoon in Memorial stadium. The junior varsity squad lost to
The junior varsity squad lost to Missouri last week.
The pass catching of Willard Schuldt, and the heads up play of Gene Vignatelli sparked our "Bee" squad's play.
Don Feller ripped off huge gains all afternoon. But it was Vignatelli who pounced on a fumble to start a 49-yard scoring drive for the hill-toppers. It was Vignatelli who blocked a Cyclone punt later—gathered in the loose football and ran 7-vards for another TD.
Dick Sandifer, quarterback, hit Schuldt repeatedly with passes, the first of which at the outset of the game gave the Jayhawk Bees their first score.
In the second quarter an Iowa safety man was hit so hard by K.U.'s Merle Hodges that he fumbled. Schuldt recovered. Five plays later Schuldt gathered in a pass from Jack Rodgers to give the frosh their 14-0 halftime scoring lead.
Dick Pulliam kicked both conversions in the first half, and added two more in the second, for a perfect day.
