Along the JAYHAWKER trail
Don Fambrough and Tom Scott probably enjoyed the Alumni's football victory over Coach J. V. Sikes' varsity crew May 5 more than any other of the old grads.
For these 1947 Orange Bowl teammates, the game brought them together in their favorite sport, continuing a relationship that dates back to 1932 when both attended a Longview, Texas, grade school They were teammates on the high school team through the 1937-

38-39-40 seasons at Longview. In 1937 their team won the state title and was defeated in the state quarterfinals in 1940. Fambrough was fullback and captain while Scott handled the tailback chores.
Following prep school graduation, these pals split up in '40 when Fambrough decided to attend the University of Texas and Smith cast his lot with the Texas Aggies.
Fambrough played on the 1942 Texas club that met Georgia Tech in the Cotton Bowl, while Scott moved to Kilgore (Tex.) junior college where he quarterbacked the 1946 team into the Little Rose Bowl.
Both athletes entered the Army Air Corps in 1943. Fambrough played on the Salt Lake City Second Air Force team in 1943 before moving to Colorado Springs where they gained the services of such players as Ray Evans, Frank Sinkwich, Clyde "Bulldog" Turner, and many others.
Shortly after their military careers, Fambrough persuaded Scott to enroll with him at K.U. in 1947. A conference eligibility ruling in May, 1948, finished the careers of Fambrough, Scott, Marv Small and Gene Sherwood, all but ruining Coach Sikes hopes for a conference title in his first year at Kansas.
Fambrough has been a great asset to the Jayhawker football program ever since he arrived at Mt. Oread. He gained all-conference first string guard honors in 1946 and in 1947 he co-captained K.U.'s greatest team of all time, the Orange Bowl outfit.
He became K.U.'s head freshman coach in 1949. In two years his teams won three while dropping a single contest.
Scott is presently completing work on his B.S. degree in civil engineering. He'll return to Kilgore Juco as a backfield coach this fall, a position he held in 1949 and 1950. This annual powerhouse won 17 and lost four during this time.
Both athletes got a big kick out of the pasting the alumni handed the varsity to climax the all-sports weekend.
In replaying the contest with some teammates after the game, Fambrough said, "The Alumni had more than enough players, and this meant that no one had to play too long. Our old gang had a great spirit and a real desire to win and just showed too much experience for the Varsity.
"Many of the Varsity players played fresh ball for me last tan. I'm sure these kids would have beaten us had they been at full strength," Fambrough said.
"Saturday's game was the first time I've ever played any platoon system ball during my 11 years of football. Boy, what a difference! While playing here in 1946-47, I usually played between 55 to 60 minutes, going the route most of the time on the Orange bowl team. This present day platoon system is really the 'gravy train' compared to the type of ball we played then."

Braves Take Lead With Fine Hurling
New York (U.P.)—The hustling Boston Braves were in first place today, despite the fact that Billy Southworth's feared sluggers are in a hitting slump, because his pitchers have been turning in some phenomenal work.
Tuesday night righthander Max Surkont stood off the Cincinnati Reds with just six hits in a 2 to 1 victory. Sid Gordon, hitless since May 4, broke up the game in the ninth with a homer and he also drove in the other Boston run with a single. It was Surkont's fourth victory against one defeat.
South Bend, Ind. (U.P.)—A 69-year-old man turned in a robbery report to police. He said he was seized by two women, blindfolded, gagged and robbed of $4.50 and his watch.
The Braves also made only six hits, recovering only mildly from the no-hit, no-run job which Pittsburgh's Cliff Chambers turned in against them Sunday. But when you get the kind of pitching that the Braves' hurlers have been turning in, the sluggers don't have to be too merciless.
The Giants knocked the Cardinals out of the lead and also pulled themselves out of last place ahead of Cincinnati with a 6 to 2 victory at New York, Pittsburgh humiliated the Phillies, 9 to 3, and the Cubs edged Brooklyn, 2 to 1, while in the only American league games Detroit made it two straight over the Yankees, 6 to 5, in 11 innings, and the Athletics drubbed Chicago, 9 to 4.
Larry Jansen, winning his first game since opening day, pitched four-hit ball to give the Giants their seventh victory in the last nine games. He had a no-hitter忌坦 Stan (who else?) Musial broke it up with a fifth imming homer. A brilliant fielding play by second baseman Eddie Stanky, who threw out a runner while flat on his back, cut short a later Cardinal rally. The Giants made 11 hits.
Hank Sauer's two-run first inning homer wrecked an otherwise well-pitched game by Carl Erskine and gave the Cubs their triumph over the Dodgers in Brooklyn. Erskine gave up only three of Chicago's four hits in seven innings. Rookie Bob Schultz, who looks like a pitcher to be reckoned with—and soon—yielded nine hits but bore down when in trouble to win his third game.
Mel Queen stood the failing Phillies on their heads with one-hit ball until the seventh inning while the Pirates backed him up with 10 hits including Ralph Kiner's fourth homer. He let up in the later innings but still emerged with a four-hitter.
Rookie relief pitcher Ray Herbert won his fourth straight game for Detroit when Vic Wertz singled home the winning run in the 11th inning. Herbert gave up only one hit and no runs in the three innings he worked. Wertz and Mike Ginsberg hit Tiger homers while Hank Bauer, with two, and Jackie Jensen with one, found the range off Detroit starter Ted Gray.
Little Bobby Shantz finally received the hitting support he had lacked in other starts and had no
