THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1950
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
This week's National Collegiate Athletic bureau's football statistics reveal several facts that will add interest to Kansas and Utah individual player performances Saturday.
Dolph Simons, outstanding Jayhawker punter, is listed as the nation's fifth best kicker with an average of 43.3 for 17 kicks. In the No. 3 spot is Utah's Milt Smith with a 43.7 average for 32 punts. Utah fans should get their money's worth Saturday when Simons and Smith oppose each other in the punting department.
In rushing, Saturday's game will pit the Utes' George Bean, 160-pound fullback, against Kansas' one-two punch, halfbacks Wade Stinson and Charlie Hoag. In national individual rushing, Bean ranks 9th, Stinson 11th, and Hoag 12th.
Each of these backs advanced his ranking in last Saturday's games. Bean moved from 13th to 9th, Stiason 18th to 11th, and Hoag from 19th to 12th.
Bean, Stinson, and Hoag have gained 579, 564, and 542 yards respectively rushing and are expected to explode with more sensational running this weekend. Each has played in six games, with Stinson and Hoag's performances even more impressive when considered they were "under wraps" for a half in the Denver and Oklahoma A. and M. games.
With only 37 yards separating Bean's No.9 spot and Hoag's No. 12 position, these three runners will battle it out for improvement in their individual rankings.
Coach Jack Curtice's first Utah edition presents two more players who rank high in national statistics. In pass receiving, end Don Peterson, son of Utah's basketball coach, Vadal Peterson, ranks ninth on 24 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns. His battery mate is the nation's No. 3 forward passer, Dave Cunningham. He has connected with 73 tosses for nine touchdowns and 727 yards.
-KU—
Utah ranks No. 1 in the nation in team punting with a 45.1 average on 35 punts—all but three kicks by Smith... Kansas ranks 10th with a 40 yard average on 26 kicks. . Colorado is second and Missouri is seventh.
Zack Jordan, Colorado's sophomore halfback, leads the country in punting with a 50.1 average on 21 kicks—most of which have been quick kicks.
Kansas' home opponent Saturday, Nov. 11, the Oklahoma Sooners, are the country's fourth best team in total defense . . . The Sooners, owners of a 26-game winning streak, rank second in pass defense.
KU Freshmen Play Tigers Friday Night
The K. U. freshman football team concludes its two-game season Friday night against the Missouri frosh in Haskell stadium. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
The Jayhawkers, who have been hampered by practice injuries, lost their first game to Kansas State, 13 to 6. Missouri downed Iowa State, 9 to 7, in its opening game.
A RIFLIN' REDSKIN is Dave Cunningham, Utah's flashy quarterback. Cunningham is currently third in the nation in pass completions with 73. His specialty is short passes, but he can also fire 'em long. Cunningham is dangerous on quarterback sneaks from Utah's high-powered "T" formation.
