JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Asst. Sports Editor
Wade Stinson's terrific rushing performance, which totals 917 yards this year is approaching ex-Jayhawker Forrest Griffith's all-time rushing record for a Kansas player. Griff's mark, for a career at Kansas is 1379 yards over 39 games through the 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949 seasons.
Stinson played in only one game as a sophomore carrying the ball for 13 net yards. Last year he played in 10 games marking up 29 yards in 32 rushing plays. For his entire career at K.U., Stinson has played in 19 games, carried the ball 169 times for 1039 net yards. This figure compares to 1379 yards for Griffith which covered 39 games and 296 rushing attempts.
games and 200 rushing attempts.
Griffith's rushing average was 4.7 yards a carry as compared to Stinson's 6.1 average a trip. Of course, Griffith had an extra year to hold his record figure and played in nearly 20 more games. The big question is whether Stineon will pick up 341 yards or more in the Kansas State and Missouri games to establish a new school career record for net yards rushing. With 917 yards to date this year, he is almost certain to double Bud French's previous season 510-yard mark, which he established last year. Charlie Hoag is already well above that figure with *90 yards rushing.
It will be a big task for Wade to top Griff's mark, but if his teammates can shake him loose a time or two for long runs, he should set the record. His season rushing total, this year, whatever it is, should stand for many years. It is a rare feat indeed when a ball carrier passes the 1000-mark in a season and Wade is only 83 yards away from that figure.
While talking about individual records, fullback John Amberg only 101 yards away from establishing a new season rushing record for a K.U. fullback. He now has 382 yards in 61 carries for the eighth spot among Big Seven ball carriers. Griffith holds the season fullback mark with 483 yards on 86 carries set in 1947 while playing on the Orange bowl club.
-K.U.-
Two of the Big Seven's top punters will oppose each other Saturday at Manhattan when Dolph Simons and Lloyd Estes meet. Simons has done an excellent job punting for Kansas all year and has averaged 40.7 yards on 27 boots. For the offensively weak Wildcats, who have been forced to punt many times, Estes has averaged 39.2 yards on 46 kicks.
-K.U.-
By the time students return from Thanksgiving vacation, the K.U. football season will be history. The basketball season is rapidly approaching so let's take a quick glance at what's been taking place in Coach "Phog" Allen's cage training camp.
Tuesday night Coach Allen's team played an intrasquad game before an overflow crowd of 1350 at Paola as the feature attraction for the dedication of a new high school gymnasium.
With Clyde Lovellette opposing the frosh's ace B. H. Born, 6-foot 9-inch giant, a White team defeated the Reds 74 to 39. Leading the scoring for the Whites was Lovellette with 31 points followed by Bill Lienhard's 12 and Bob Kenney's 11-point total. Dean Smith also looked good as he tossed in six goals and a free throw.
For the Reds, Born looked good in scoring eight field goals and four free throws for 20 points. Dale Engel scored nine points.
The basketball team will remain on the campus over Thanksgiving vacation and practice twice daily. They open the season playing Creighton university here on Monday, Dec. 4.

The Kansas State Wildcats, whose only national prominence is that they are one of the most scored-upon college teams in the country, will forget about their woeful past Saturday and concentrate on upsetting arch-rival Kansas.
By RAY SOLDAN
Kansas will be out to beat the Wildcats for the sixth straight year, a feat that has never been accomplished in the series. K.U. did win eight consecutive games from the Aggies in one stretch and went through 16 games undefeated. However, this streak was interrupted when the schools didn't meet one year.
Surprises have dotted the history of the series so the Aggies are scoring the 20-point-plus edge given the Jayhawkers, and are hoping to spring another one this year. A near-capacity crowd of 19,000 is expected to sit-in on the 48th meeting of the Sunflower-state rivals. Approximately 2,000 K.U. fans will be in Manhattan for the game.
Dick Towers, sophomore halfback, suffered a severely bruised and torn muscle above his knee in last week's Nebraska game. He is currently the Wildcats' leading ball carrier with 240 net yards. Fullback Elmer Creviston and halfback Hi Fabion, two and three respectively on the K-State rushing lists have been sidelined for several weeks, both with bad knees. Lynn Burris, another halfback, will also miss the game. Creviston and Fabion may see limited duty.
The Jayhawkers are in better physical shape than the Wildcats. Only defensive back Hal Clevinger, a Manhattan boy, is on the Kansas injury list, and he may see action. Kansas State will go into the game with its top three running backs probably out.
The Jayhawkers hold a 30 to 14 won-lost edge in the series with three games ending in ties. The most one-sided score was the 55 to 0 drubbing given the Wildcats by Kansas' Orange Bowl squad of 1947. K.U.'s worst beating was 27 to 0 in 1926. Over half of the games in the series have been shutout victories for the winner.
As usual the Kansas attack will be centered in the hard-running backfield of Wade Stinson, Charlie Hoag, and Johnny Amberg. The trio has scored 24 of Kansas' 35 touchdowns and gained 1889 of Kansas' 2406 yards rushing. Chet Strehlow will handle the Jayhawker air attack with perhaps some assistance from Hoag. Strehlow has passed for seven of the eight touchdowns that Kansas has scored by air.
Coach J. V. Sikes has jugged the Jayhawk defensive secondary hoping to slow their opponents' passing. Eleven of the enemy's 24 touchdowns have come directly on passes, while a number of others were set up by
passes. John Amberg and Galen Fiss will start at defensive halfbacks against K-State, and Aubrey Linville at safety. "
Frank Hooper, Aggies quarterback, has been improving each week in passing. He has accounted for
509 yards through the air and two touchdowns. His chief target is end Dick Johnson, who is third in the conference with 20 catches for 349 yards.
WOCSUTO Wants To Cut Santa Claus' Work Year
Bismarck, N.D. (U.P.)-The W.O.C.-S.U.T.O. campaigned to cut Santa Claus' work year to 30 days.
Mrs. Mildred Bozak, one of the founders of the new organization, said the alphabetical title is short for "we object to Christmas shopping until Thanksgiving's over."
She said the group which feels premature Christmas gift displays are pushing Thanksgiving into the background, also objects to putting Valentines on display before Christmas.
