Old Timers To Trade Youth For Experience
By BOB NELSON

The most famous players in Jayhawker football history—egreates like former all-American Ray Evans, Otto Schnellbacher, Don Fambrough, Don "Red-Dog" Ettinger, Forrest Griffith, Frank Pattee, Dick Tomlinson, Mike McCormack, and others—will attempt to show their greatness of yesteryears against Coach J. V. Sikes' inexperienced but battling Varsity in Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon.
Probably no athletic contest at the University ever offered more color and question marks than does this battle royal between K.U.'s out-of-condition "Has Beens" and the Varsity's "rock'em and sock 'em" footballers.
Coach Wayne Replogle's Alumni squad will hit Coach Sikes' club with a steady stream of top hands from recent K.U. football history.
Six of Kansas' fabulous 1947 Orange Bowl performers, end Bryan Sperry, guard Ken Sperry, center Bob Willem, quarterback Tom Scott, and halfbacks Arnold Stricker and Evans, are listed as probable offensive starters. The Old Grads have 40 men pledged for action and quite conceivably could give the youngsters a thorough lesson.
The Alumni defense—if it can hold out in the expected heat of battle—should spell plenty of trouble to the Varsity's offensive patterns. Such veteran Orange Bowl linemen as end

COACHES
Wayne Replogle and Dan Edwards.
Marvin Small, tackle Ettinger, guard Fambrough, and more recent fellows like McCormack, Tomlinson, S. P. Garnett, and Chuck O'Neal could well bottle up the Varsity's hardrunning attack built around Bud Laughlin, Dean Wells, John Konek, and others.
One of football's greatest aerial defenders, "The Claw" Schnellbacher, is expected to snag more than his share of Varsity passes from his defensive halfback spot should they prove faulty in hitting their mark.
The Old Men own nifty enough personnel to back up this aerial scheme. Scott, who divided his time between half and quarter with the Orange Bowl forces, will open in the man-under spot. Evans, of course, is K.U.'s most effective finger of all-time, still holding eight school passing records.
Receiving the Evans and Scott tosses will be K.U.'s leading catchers of the past five seasons. Included are ends Schnellbacher, 1947 all-American; Sperry, now head football coach at Hiawatha, and Lyn Smith, '50, who netted over 300 yards in receptions during each of the past two seasons.

OTTO SCHNELLBACHER
KU Lacks Experience For Alumni Grid Game
By ALAN MARSHALL
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
A green but game Kansas team, already under-manned by injuries, will be rated a two touchdown underdog in the Varsity-Alumni game Saturday at 2 p.m. in Memorial stadium. The game serves as a climax to the all-sports weekend and marks the end of six weeks of spring drills. Head Coach Jules V. Sikes is expected to use a mixture of air and ground offensives in an attempt to overcome the seasoned but out-of-condition alumni.
Directing the attack will be quarterback Archie Unruh, a sophomore up from the reserve ranks. His performance this spring earned him the call over Chet Strehlow, regular quarterback in 1950. Unruh was the whole show in a scrimmage game April 28, scoring two touchdowns and passing for a third.
Bud Laughlin, a fullback who prefers to run over 'em rather than run around 'em, and Dean Wells and Bob Brandeberry, excellent running half-backs who double as pass receivers, round out the backfield.
Co-captain Bill Schaake, a fixture at end, is the only starter from last year's club. He will team with freshman Jerry Taylor at the flanks.
Bill Schaben and Oliver Spencer will start at tackle. Schaben has only a few minutes of game experience and Spencer is fresh off the injury list. The latter has been billed as the boy who will replace the gap left by Mike McCormack, co-captain of the West all-star team.
Jack Luschen, regular linebacker last season, is the only other starter in possession this season. He will team with freshman George Helmstadda a the guard slots.
Harold Stroud, a 210 pound 6-foot 2-inch sophomore, anchors the middle of the forward wall.
The line averages 190 pounds per backs 177, for a team average of 191.
Considerable attention will center on freshman performers. Impressive linemen so far this spring have been Clarence Bender, Tom Brannan and George Michale, ends, Joe Lundy and Orville Poppe, tackles, Don Aunst and Don Beyer, guards, and Warren Woody and Joe Fink at center.
Squad members who will not participate include Charley Hoag and Merlin Gish, who are on the track
