Sophomore Wint Winter Plays Like A Veteran
Wint Winter, a 6-foot 2-inch 193-pound sophomore center, is one of the Jayhawkers' four starting first-year Varsity footballers whose outstanding offensive play has been a prime factor in K.U.'s 5-3 record to date.
Other sophomore starters are Charlie Hoag, left halfback; Chet Strehlow, quarterback, and George Mrkonic, double-duty guard performer.
Big Wint has excellent physical qualifications for the important pivot spot he plays on Coach Sikes' "T" formation club. He is a terrific competitor that battles all the way.
Winter, like his quarterback mate, Strehlow, started the Texas Christian university opener without a single minute of college experience. This pair of rangy ball-handlers have put the ball in play with a bare minimum of fumbles this year.
WINTER
Wint, always in tip-top physical condition, keeps the Jayhawkers hustling with his cat-like quickness in breaking from the huddle and getting over the ball.
Playing for Lawrence High in 1945, 1946, and 1947, Winter gained a second-team all-state tackle berth his senior year. During these years, Lawrence won 28 games without a defeat and had only a 13 to 13 tie with Topeka to mar their record. Bill Schaake and Carl Sandefur played on this team three years.
After playing right tackle on the 1948 freshman
team, Winter was shifted to center during spring practice. As a willing worker, Wint soon proved he could man the center spot and has been a fixture ever since.
Long on desire but short on experience, Winter was "red-shirted" and kept out of action last year to save a year's eligibility playing back of seniors Bob Drumm, Roland Eilerts, and Howard Fischer.
Wint's intense love for football dates back as far as he can remember. "As a small kid, I just about lived with a football. My father was football coach at Burlington (Kan.) high and I was exposed to the game much of the time," he said.
This 20-year old athlete thinks the Kansas State and Missouri games will be "mighty tough ones to win."
"You know, I've been looking forward to this game with Kansas State for a long time," Wint said, "my father was a starter as an end on the 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1921 football teams at Kansas State. I've heard a lot about those teams and now I'll get to play against a K-State team Saturday."
Wint's father, M. S. Winter, lettered in football, basketball, baseball, and track at Kansas State. He now operates an automobile agency and garage in Lawrence. He is one of K.U.'s most ardent fans as is his wife, also a K-State graduate.
In his junior year, this ex-Wildcat athlete broke his ankle in the K-State-Kansas game while involved in a play with Ed Sandefur, K.U. tackle and father of the Jayhawkers' present tackle, Carl Sandefur.
This School of Business junior, who is majoring in finance, is single and expects to enter the retail selling field—probably automotive—following graduation and a hitch in the navy. Wint is in the University's Naval R.O.T.C. program. He is a member of the Beta Theta Pi social fraternity.
Two individual opponents have given Wint more than just a little trouble this season. "Joe Tangaro, Utah guard, has given me my most rugged game. Norman MNabb, Oklahoma guard, has been by far the smartest player I've faced in the line," Wint said.
Kansas grid fans can expect to see plenty of this likable fellow during the 1951 and 1952 seasons. With continued improvement, Wint may well rank high among the all-time K.U. centers before he graduates.
Alpha Tau Omega won the fraternity "A" championship with a 15 to 0 victory over Phi Kappa Psi in a game played Thursday night. The A.T.O.'s will play the winner of independent "A" finals for the all-University title on Monday, Nov. 20.
Both teams unleashed potent passing attacks but it was the ATO's long-range aerials that paid off. Chet Laniewski and Herb Weidensaul threw most of the ATO passes and it was Laniewski that found receivers in the open for two touchdown throws.
ATO Wins Frat A Championship
The ATO's took the opening kick-off on their own 5-yard line but the Phi Psi heid and Laniewski punted out to the Phi Psi 35.
During the Phi Psi's first series of downs, Weidensaul intercepted Rich Mercer's pass on the ATO 32 and scampered back to his opponent's 30-vard line.
A pass from Laniowski carried the ball to the Phi Psi 5 and two plays later Weidenswaal carried another of Laniowski's accurate tosses for a touchdown and a 6 to 0 lead. Weidenswaal's place-kick made it 7 to 0 in the first quarter.
The Phi Psi's took the ball on their own 9 and drove almost the length of the field only to have the half end with the ball in their possession on the ATO 12 with two downs remaining.
Numerous interceptions marked play all dufring the second period as each team began to move impressive distances only to see a heads-up defensive back snag an erring pass.
Again in the third quarter the Phi Pei's almost drove to a touchdown. After taking the kick-off on their own 20, Rich Merere completed pass after pass to move his team to the ATO 9-yard stripe.
Marty Pancatz picked up six yards to the 3 on a left end sweep, but Weidensaul called things to a screeching halt by intercepting another Mercer pass in the end zone.
Not to be outdone, the ATO's began a drive from their own 20 but they didn't stop until they reached paydirt. Laniewski passed to such capable receivers as Hucke, Weidensaul, Trego, and Bill Brooks on the way, and a 15-yard toss to Hucke accounted for the second touchdown of the day.
A penalty on the conversion try moved the ATO's back to their 17 where Weidensaul missed the kick.
The ATO defense stiffened after that and much of the remaining time was spent in Phi Psi territory. Kenny Howard and Brooks charged in time after time to break up intended Phi Psi passes.
Howard blocked a fourth down pass on the Phi Psi 28. The A.T.O.'s took over from there and on the first play Laniowski pitched out to John Brose who floated a beautiful spiral into the waiting arms of brooks for what appeared to be another touch-down, but a holding penalty moved the ball back to midfield so Laniowski punted to the Phi Psi 8.
Glenn Starmer returned the kick to his own 33 from where the Phi Psi's found themselves moving backwards as a hard-charging ATO line, led by Jim Brunson and Howard, tagged the passer for several sizeable losses.
On the last play of the game Howard broke through to tag the hopeful Mercer standing in his own end zone as he waited futilely for a receiver to materialize behind the ATO defense.
White Line On Highway Holds Appeal For Beavers
Roscommon, Mich.—(U.P.) Michigan conservation officers are trying to find some way to make stubborn beavers understand that the white line down the middle of the highway was not put there just for them.
BEAT KANSAS STATE
Motorists who stop and carry a belligerent beaver to the side of the road have to hurry back to their cars and drive away before the plodding animal waddles back to the white line to resume its journey.
