Whites Blast Reds 47 To 6 In Tune-Up For Alumni Game
By BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
The Whites blasted the Reds 46 to 7 in an intrasquad football game played April 28 in Memorial stadium. The contest marked the end of the fifth week of spring drills for the J. V. Sikes-coached team.
Billed as a tune-up for Saturday's Alumni-Varsity game, the Whites combined surprising ground attack with an unerring air game to turn into a rout what was expected to be an evenly contested match.
Quarterback Archie Unruh paced the Whites in scoring two touchdows and passing for a third. End Bill Schaake, 1951 co-captain-elect, scored two counters as did halfback Dean Wells. The other White marker was made by backfill Bud Laughin, whose fierce up-the-middle running ripped the Red line apart most of the afternoon.

LAUGHLIN
The Reds only touchdown came mid-way through the second quarter when freshman halfback Frank Cindrich smashed over from 1-yard out.
Effective close-in and downfield blocking by the Whites' line and backfield enabled Laughlin and Wells to get away for numerous gains through the center of the Red line and around the ends.
The game, played in 80-degree temperature—the warmest day of spring practice, provided Coach Sikes an opportunity to witness from the stands some of the best football displayed by his team thus far during hot weather drills.
"I was pretty well pleased with the squad's showing." Coach Sikes said following the game, "especially with the defensive work of Unruh and the hard running of Laughlin and Wells.
"The White team just had too much manpower and worked the Red team over. If we play like we did today, we should be able to give the Alumni team a pretty fair game Saturday," Coach Sikes said.
Biggest handicap to the Reds was their inability to control the ball. They lost it four times on pass interceptions and on four more occasions by fumbles. The Whites lost the ball four times, three on fumbles and once on a pass interception.
John Konek, freshman halfback from California, Pa., was a standout in the losers' backfield. On 13 carries he picked up 39 of the Reds net total of 55 yards rushing.
Laughlin, running like a Sherman Tank, overpowered the Reds for 79 yards on 18 carries to edge out teammate Wells for ground gaining honors. Wells picked up 77 yards net on 19 attempts.
The Whites controlled the ball through most of the second half and finished on the long end in total first downs and net yards rushing, 16 to 9 and 149 to 55, respectively.
Unruh's and Chet Strehlw's passing dominated the aerial game as they pitched for a total of 162 yards. Unruh completed six out of 15 tosses for 88 yards and Strehlw bagged five for 11 for 74 yards.
Jerry Robertson, Red team freshman quarterback, completed four out of 12 passes for 50 yards but three were intercepted. Konek picked up another 12 yards by completing one of two passes.
Frank Sabatini, freshman fullback from Chicago, Ill., picked up 20 yards in 10 carries but fumbled three times. He also played defense and helped Konek haul down the hard running Wells and Laughlin on several occasions.
The Whites opened the game by marching 65 yards in nine plays to score with Unruh sneaking over from the 1-foot line. Strehlow's placement gave the Whites a 7 to 0 margin.
SCHAAKE
WELLS
There were no kickoffs and the ball was put in play on each team's own 35-vard line.
Early in the second quarter, Wells swept wide around his right end to score from 11 yards out behind key blocks by Laughlin and guard Don Augst to give the Whites a 13 to 0 lead.
A 31-yard pass from Robertson to Konek set the stage for the Reds only touchdown late in the first half. Cindric sliced over from the 1-yard line to climax a 65 yard drive that required 11 plays. The half ended with the Whites leading, 13 to 7.
An Unruh to Schaake pass from the 1-yard line provided the Whites with touchdown No. 3 at the start of the third quarter. The 65 yard march required nine plays.
The winners scored again late in the quarter on a 4-yard Striehlow to Schaake aerial to climax a 22- yard drive.
On the next play, Unruh intercepted a Robertson pass on the Reds 48-yard line and returned it for a
touchdown. Wells' conversion was good and the Whites led 33 to 7.
Following a Konek pass interception, the Whites scored in five play with Wells sweeping wide around right end for the final eight yards.
Another Robertson pass interception helped the Whites to their final touchdown. Laughlin bulled his way over from the 1-yard line to score seconds before the game ended to give the Whites their final t.d. in a well deserved victory.
Sixteen players missed the game
