Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Asst. Sports Editor
For 47 minutes, the Jayhawkers played the role of "giant killers" against the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday. At this point, K.U. lost its great halfback and leader, Charlie Hoag, through a questionable head injury.
At the time of his injury, Kansas held a 13 to 7 lead and Hoag had just passed to end Lyn Smith for a first down on the O.U. 44. It looked like Kansas was on the march for a t.d. that would have increased the lead to 20 to 7 and of course used up valuable time in controlling the ball. Had Kansas been able to score another touchdown, we see little chance how the Sooners could have scored twice on an "inspired Kansas team" or maybe a needed third touchdown to win.
After Hoag's slugging, K.U. moved the ball four yards in three plays to the O.U. 40 and was forced to kick. For the remainder of the game, Kansas was never a match for the mighty Sooners.
From here on, it was all Oklahoma. Kansas picked up only 13 net yards rushing, completed 2 out of 7 passes for 22 yards, had one intercepted for a t.d., and made only one first down.
In other words, the loss of Hoag stripped the K.U. offense of at least 50 per cent or more of its scoring power. With both Wade Stinson and Hoag in the lineup K.U. remained a constant threat on every play. Hoag had gained 70 net yards rushing and Stinson gained 105 of his 114 yards before Hoag was injured.
The O.U.-K.U. game movies should be most interesting and help clear up several very questionable "high and roughing" tackles made by the Sooners throughout the contest. Stinson and quarterback Archie Unruh almost met the same treatment that Hoag received on several occasions. Only last week, the Sooners were criticized for such "rough" tactics against Colorado at Boulder and earlier this year in the Texas game at Dallas.
KU
Kansas faced a great quarterback in Claude Arnold Saturday. He was the difference without a doubt throwing four touchdown passes in completing nine out of 15 passes for 200 yards. Had Hoag not been injured, we think his pass defending late in the game might have helped prevent such an O.U. aerial rout.

Kansas Two-Mile Team Wins Triangular Meet
Herb Semper, K.U.'s brilliant two miler, outclassed the field at Columbia, Mo., Saturday, in a three way meet with the University of Missouri and the University of Colorado. Semper posted his best time of the season when he finished the course in 9:25.6, 11 seconds ahead of second place Bob Cox of Missouri.
K. U. won the meet, their 15th consecutive victory, with a low team score of 18. Missouri was second and Colorado was third. Semper's old rival, Missouri ace Bill McGuire, finished third with a time of 9:47.2.
Jayhawkers Cliff Abel and Keith Palmquist finished fourth and fifth in front of Tiger runner Jerry Piper and Buffalo Milt Wiley. The ninth and 10th place men were both from Kansas with Bill Farney and Dave Breidenthal finished in that order.
In dual meet scoring of Saturday's race Kansas defeated Missouri 17 to 20 and Colorado 11 to 28. The Missouri squad topped Colorado by an 11 to 28 margin.

This weekend the Jayhawkers will get their biggest test so far when they meet all the other teams from the Big Seven for the conference meet in Memorial stadium Saturday. Coach Easton's squad will probably be ruled the favorite but with seven teams competing anything can happen.

It's No Secret
the freshman team also has its conference meet this week, but it will be held by way of Western Union. The fledgling Jayhawkers are a heavy favorite in this meet.
