KANSAS PUNTING
By RAY SOLDAN
The Jayhawkers, who the past few years have taken delight in spoiling other school's homecomings, dropped a 33 to 26 homecoming thriller to Nebraska Saturday.
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
It was the first Big Seven defeat of the season for Kansas, and its second straight high-scoring home-coming loss. Missouri out-gunned the Jayhawkers, 34 to 28, on the great day a year ago. Saturday's defeat coupled with Oklahoma's 20 to 7 victory over Iowa State moved the soaring Sooners to the top of the conference standings.
A crowd of 39,000—a record for the series—saw the explosive offensive battle which wasn't long in igniting. With just 50 seconds gone, Wade Stinson sprinted 48 yards over the left side of his line and down the chalkline to a K.U. touchdown.
This was only the beginning of a wild afternoon which saw four backs rush for more than 120 yards each, a guard run 56 yards with an intercepted pass, and the goalposts collapse before a group of victory-happy Nebraskans at the conclusion of the nine-touchdown marathon.
The second time Kansas got the ball it scored again. Hoag, Amberg, and Stinson alternated to drive 64 yards in eight plays. The big play was a 28-yard, running-pass play from Hoag to Smith which carried to the N.U. 10. From there Amberg bulled his way over right guard to score. Cashell missed the extra point with Nebraska offsides, made it with K.U. offsides, and then missed it to leave the score 12 to 0.
Nebraska out-rushed and outpassed the Jayhawkers, and were undoubtedly the best team Saturday. But at that it took an unusual break to clinch the victory for the Cornhuskers. With the ball on the N.U. 34, Chet Strehlow, Kansas quarterback, faded to pass. Red Hoy, a reserve guard, and Bill Maxe, an end, rushed Strehlow and hit him while
Four plays later, the Jayhawkers had the lead back. From the K.U. 40. Amberg went five, Hoag four, Stinson 21, and Hoag the final 30. On his touchdown dash, Hoag went over right tackle, cut toward the sideline, and simply out-ran the Husker secondary. Cashell's kick made it 19 to 14, Kansas.
Nebraska refused to be kayed by Kansas' lightning-fast touchdowns. The Huskers covered 69 yards in 10 plays with Adduci going over from the one for its first touchdown, and drove 50 yards after recovering a fumble for another. Fran Nagle passed 17 yards to Dick Regier for the second N.U. score. Reynolds converted his first extra point attempt, but had his second one blocked, so Nebraska led 13 to 12.
Nebraska surged back to take a 20 to 19 halftime lead. Nagle hit Frank Simon with a beautiful 29-yard, touchdown pass with 54 seconds left in the half. The Huskers intercepted a K.U. pass and almost scored again before time ran out.
he was still trying to get his pass away. The ball popped straight up in the air a few feet. Hoy grabbed it as it came down, and was away. No K.U. man had a chance to catch the lumbering lineman.
At the time of the interception, Kansas was trailing by one point, 19 to 20, and was driving for the leading touchdown. Their march had carried 59 yards from the K.U. seven-yard line. Actually the break equalized one which had, owing a few minutes later when the Condukers lost the ball on the Kansas seven on a second-down fumble.
Bobby Reynolds, the Huskers' shifty sophomore, continued his tremendous ground-gaining pace, picking up 156 net yards. However, it was little-heralded Nick Adducti, a hard-running fullback, who gave Kansas its biggest headache.
It was officially a warm 79 degrees at game time, but the crowd wasn't long in forgetting about the temperature following the kickoff. Like all of the Husker kicks, it was purposely short to keep one of Kansas' elusive backs from giving it a runback. Co-captain Johnny Amberg smashed for nine to the Nebraska 48 on the opening play. Then Stinson—who averaged 8.4 yards a carry—raced through a quick-opening hole, picked up Lyn Smith as a blocker, and went all the way to a touchdown. Fox Cashell missed the extra point.
The Jayhawkers concentrated their defense to stop Reynolds' off tackle bursts, leaving its middle vulnerable to Adducd's timely plunges. The 185-pound junior smashed for 133 yards on 20 carriers--6.6 yards a trip. Reynolds averaged exactly six vards a carry.
Stinson and Charlie Hoag, who went into the game 18th and 19th respectively in national rushing.
both broke the all-time K.U. record for individual rushing in a single season. Stinson gained 135 yards and Hoag 121. Wade now has a season total of 564 yards, Hoag 542. The old record was 510 yards set last year by Bud French.
Merlin Gish, Kansas' work-horse linebacker, led the teams in both assisted and unassisted tackles. He was credited with six tackles and 17 assists. Guard John Idoux and tackle S. P. Garnett each got 13 assists. Reserve guard Jack Luschen also
Hal Cleawinger came up with two sparkling defensive plays. He stopped a dangerous, second-quarter Husker drive by breaking through the blocking and throwing halfback Bill Mueller for a loss on a wide end sweep. Later he hauled Reynolds down from behind in a touchdown-saving tackle on the K.U. 16 after the fleet Nebraskan had raced 50 yards.

Balderson (placement).
Five fumbles, three of which the opposition recovered, poor downfield blocking, and sloppy tackling by Coach Don Fambrough's Kansas freshman team enabled a strong K-State Wildkit squad to emerge from Friday night's fray at Manhattan a 13-6 winner.
Led by a terror on legs, halfback Verlyl Switzer, the K-State frosh capitalized on two K.U. fumbles in the first half, for the winning touch-downs. On the second set of downs, K.U. halfback Morris Kay bobbled the ball and Switer recovered it on the K.U. 46-yard line. Aggie on Jordyn Johnson led the ball three straight times to the 180-pound Switzer and that was all it took.. Bob. Baldertson's, attempted conversion was wide.
In the second half, the Jayhawker machine picked up speed. Led by
Midway through the second period, K.U. fullback Frank Sabatini, who played a great game, fumbled and end Arlan Flerk recovered for K-State. Switzer carried the ball from the K.U. 27 where Frerking had downed it to the Jayhawker 22 After an incomplete pass, afterward Nicodemus streaked around left end for the tally. Balderston's kick was good and the score stood K-State 13, Kansas 0 at the half.
The junior Jayhawkers rolled over their opponents in statistics, but every time they neared pay a player would pass the pass would coast them the ball.
the flashy running of backs Frank Cindrich and Frank Sabatini they began crossing the midfield stripe for a change. Twice in the third quarter they got the ball down within the K-State 35-yard line, but both times the stoles stalented.
Finally in the last frame the Jayhawkers found the right combination. A pass from his own 39-yard line by quarterback Dick Gatz to end Clarence Bender moved the ball down to the K-State 36. Sabati crashed off right guard to the 28 and a penalty on the Wildkits gave E.U. the ball on the 23-yard line.
Cindrick galloped around right end for 8 yards to put the ball on the 15 and then Gatz plunged through on a quarterback sneak to give the Jayhawkers a first down on the Kansas State 14-yard line. The K-State forward wall dug in and stopped Cindrich cold on the next play, but halfback Caird Currie picked up 3 to place the ball on the 11. On the next play Gatz passed to Bender for the score. Bob Hantla missed the extra point.
The outstanding man on the field for the Jayhawkers was co-captain Don Beyer. The stocky Chicago guard played nearly 60 minutes and made a lion's share of the tackles. He threw the Wildkit backs for
losses several times and gave a sparkling exhibition of blocking on offense.
Both Sabatini and Cindhrich were at their best. Sabatini not only was a standout on offense but played a top-notch game on defense. The big boy from Chicago carried the ball 11 times for a total of 60 yards to come out of the game with a 5.4 average.
Cindrish stepped into the shoes of disabled co-captain John Konek and performed like a champion. He skirted the ends and slashed off tackle for a total of 95 yards in 23 carries for a 4.1 average. Several times with a little downfield blocking he would have gone all the way.
For K-State, Switzer was great. The hard-hitting back, who never played 11 man football until reaching Aggieland, blasted the K.U. line time after time. He carried the mail 16 times for 112 yards to finish
In addition to Beyer, Cindrich, and Sabatini, Morris Kay, Don Augst, Clarence Bender, and Jerry Taylor turned in creditable performances. Kay, a halfback, and Bender, an end, looked good on offense and Taylor, also an end, played a good game on defense. Aungt, starting left guard, looked good on both offense and defense.
the evening with an average of 7.0. This was only nine-tenths of a yard short of his average against Nebraska, who downed the K-Staters, 34 to 12.
However Switzer's defensive play nearly overshadowed his ball carrying ability. On nearly every play he would charge in from the safety spot to either make the tackle unassisted or aid his teammates the opening off of the second ball he nearly blasted Frank Cindrich from the field.
Halfback Cindrich may be lost for the Missouri game because of a leg injury suffered when Switzer tackled him on the opening kickoff of the second half. The young Jay-hawkers meet the Missouri fresh Friday night at Haskell stadium.

-But Oklahoma Sooner Fans Are Happy
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 30—(U.P.)-It could be the thin air of the Rocky mountains will halt Oklahoma's consecutive victory string, but fans were discouraged from making book on Colorado to head off the Sooners.
It will be the first meeting of the schools since Colorado joined the Big Seven in 1949. The Buffers, showing a record of 3-2-1 for the current season and a 2-2 record in big seven play, were not expected to halt Oklahoma in the latter's quest of consecutive win No. 27 next Saturday.
Okahama got ready for its Boulder appearance by trimming stubborn Iowa State, 20 to 7, at Ames last Saturday. Colorado was tied, surprisingly, by Utah, 20 to 20, at Salt Lake City. The Utes will try their stuff on Kansas, also at Salt Lake City, Saturday.
The widely-heralded duel between Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds and Kansas' Charlie Hoag came off as scheduled at Lawrence, but it failed to provide any definite conclusions. A Nebraska junior, fullback Nick Adduci, came close to stealing the
O
show, Nebraska won, 30 to 26, a neat trick for a 13-point underdog
Missouri, which may be through playing dead, will try its improved attack on Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday. Missouri blanked Oklahoma A. and M., 27 to 0, at Stillwater in a non-conference appearance last week. Quarterback Phil Klein's pass was intercepted by Johnny Glohiro contributed much to the Missouri victory, and second Tiger triumph of the season.
Iowa State, which never once quit fighting Oklahoma, will meet Kansas State (0-3) Saturday at Manhattan. K-State got a much-needed rest last week, following a 58 to 0 flattening by Oklahoma.
In Iowa State's loss to Oklahoma, Bill Weeks demonstrated he still is the best passer in the Big Seven and Cyclone end Jim Doran showed he
is one of the best, at least, in his department. He was on the receiving end of a 52-yard touchdown pass from Weeks in the play that kept Iowa State from being shut out.
Oklahoma's win, its 26th in a row,
tied the record of Cornell, established in 1921-24, but left the Sooners still off the pace set earlier by Pittsburgh's Panthers, who won 33 in a row in 1914-19.
