K-State Freshmen Are Big And Fast
Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 26—Featuring one of the heaviest and most promising freshman football squads in Kansas State football history, the young Wildcats will attempt to defeat the Kansas freshmen in the rubber game of the K.U.-Kansas State freshman series here at 8 p.m. Friday.
In 1948, Kansas State downed the Kansas fresh here 27 to 19. The Jayhawks rolled over the Wildcats last year at Lawrence by a 25 to 6 score behind the work of Charlie Hoag and Co.
With Kansas State and Kansas in regarded as better than average offensive clubs, Friday night's game should test each team's defense thoroughly.
In 1949, Coach Fambrough's first year as head K.U. freshman coach, his yearlings were impressive rolling past Missouri, 12 to 7, and defeated Kansas State. Like last year's team, his 1950 club is expected to rely on a good running attack as its main ground gainer.
Last year K.U. averaged 365 yards per game rushing while holding the opposition to 129 yards per game. They weren't forced to take to the air for yardage.
Coach Emmett Breen's young Wildcat club has been impressive in scrimmages against the Varsity. They have defeated the Varsity B team 12 to 7 and gave a good account of themselves as they went down 30 to 21 before the combined Varsity and B squad.
In the line the Wildcat frosh are rough and tough—and big. Tackles Eddie McMahon (225), and Don Muder (230), and guard Tommy O'Boyle (205) have been giving the Varsity and B teamers plenty of hard knocks in their encounters so this season.
One of the most talked about gridders on the K-State campus this fall is Veryl Switzer, a 180-pound ball of fire from Nicodemus. Although the young halfback played only six-man football in high school, he has served notice he may be one of the finest all around backs ever to play for Kansas State. He is the Wildcats' top frosh back. He runs like a mad man and is a demon on defense.
Switzer, who averaged 40 points a game while in high school, recently tackled Varsity fullback Elmer Creviston so hard it could be heard throughout the stands and drove the heavier player back several vards.
Frosh Two Milers Defeat Oklahoma
Against Nebraska—even in defeat Switzer lived up to expectations on both the defensive and offensive
The University of Kansas freshman two-mile track team posted its second consecutive victory of the season in a telegraphic meet when they tapped the University of Oklahoma frosh, 10 to 29.
The Jayhawkers took the first four places and sixth leaving the Sooners to come in fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth. First man to cross the finish line for Coach Easton's crew was Wesley Santee of Ashland, who posted a time of 9:33.5. Following Santee were Jayhawkers Lloyd Koby, Norman Bitner, Dick Wilson, and Art Dazell with O.U. runner George Gilmore finishing between Wilson and Dazell.

units. He averaged 7.9 yards per carry and scored one of the Wildcats' touchdowns on a 29-yard reverse play. He also stood out defensively knocking down several long aerials and completed one pass while on the throwing end.
After the Nebraska game, Coach Breen commented that, "On the whole, we played a good game. I thought the two teams were evenly matched." Without alibaying, Breen pointed out that his Wildcats had some bad breaks, among them the two plays in which the Cats intended to punt, but were unable to do so because of bad centers.
All five Nebraska touchdowns followed Wildcat mistakes. Two fumbles set up second half scores while two bad centers on fourth down provided Nebraska with a 14 to 6 halftime margin. This Nebraska team ranks as one of the finest in recent years which helps to show the strength shown by the Kansas State team in this game.
