Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By RAY SOLDAN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas' starting line will have just a slight weight advantage over the Iowa State forwards Saturday, but the Jayhawker backfield will scale 19 pounds a man heavier than the Cyclones. Iowa State's offensive line will weigh 196 pounds a man, Kansas' 202; its backfield 167 pounds to Kansas' 186.
Iowa State will have lettermen start at all positions along its line-except possibly at right guard where sophomore Bill Byrus is in the process of pushing a veteran performer out. Standouts in the Cyclones' first three games were center Vince Beacon, guard Stan Campbell, and tackle John Tillo.
Beacon and Tillo are both seniors from Sioux City. They have lettered two years at Iowa State, playing mostly on offense. Campbell, a junior, was picked Cyclone athlete of the week by the Iowa State 630 Club for his great defensive play against Northwestern. He also plays a good share on offense.
The 630 Club is an organization on the Ames campus dedicated to the betterment of athletics. The club and its odd name—630 Club—sprung from the 63 to 0 defeat handed the Cyclones by Oklahoma in 1946. The Staters want the memory of that game to tinger so that something like it won't happen again.
The running of Frank Congiardo was also outstanding against Northwestern. He is another of the Big Seven's many impressive sophomore backs. He hasn't started a game yet for Iowa State, but he sees plenty of action.

On the statistical side of football, the conference has several nationally prominent players. Bill Weeks, the Iowa State passing star, ranks high in both total offense and passing offense. He has gained 515 yards in 84 offensive plays—the ninth best mark in the nation. In passing alone he has piled up 481 yards—also the ninth best in the nation. He has completed 31 of 65 passes, including three for touchdowns. Only three of his passes have been intercepted.
In 1949, Weeks was 11th in the final rankings in individual rushing offense and 13th in passing (which was ranked by completions). The Cyclone senior gained 1,257 total yards last year—all but 10 of these on passes.
Bobby Reynolds, Nebraska's sophomore sensation, has compiled 348 yards rushing in two games to rank sixth in this department. Most of the other leaders in rushing have played three or four games which makes Reynolds' mark even more remarkable. He has carried the ball 39 times so his average is almost nine yards a carry.
Kansas State has little to cheer about as team, but it does have a player high in the nation's individual leaders. End Dick Johnson is seventh in pass catching. He has caught 13 for 222 yards and one touchdown. Players are rated on the number of passes caught in this department.

In the team statistics, Nebraska and Kansas are high in rushing offense, Oklahoma leads the nation in forward pass defense, and Missouri rates high in punting.
Nebraska is ninth in rushing offense with an average of 297.5 yards in its two games. The Jayhawkers are 13th, having a three game average of 271.7 yards a game.
The Big Seven always tough on the passers has Oklahoma leading the country in pass defense. The Sooners have allowed two opponents—Texas A. and M. and Boston college—just four completed passes for 32 yards. Last year Iowa State finished the season fifth in the nation in pass defense and Nebraska finished sixth. Oklahoma led the country last year in rushing defense.
WREN Will Air Iowa State Game
Missouri punters—having plenty of opportunity to show their wares in their first two games—are fourth in punting average. Thirteen kicks have averaged 43.6 yards.
Max Falkenstien, sports announcer for radio station WREN, will take the air at 1:45 p.m. Saturday to describe play-by-play the Kansas-Iowa State game directly from Clyde Williams field at Ames.
With the game starting at 2 p.m., Falkenstien will spend the 15 minutes preceding the kickoff presenting pre-game color and a program, "Quizzin' the Coaches."
