V. Sikes. Kansas, in quest of its first victory over T.C.U. in eight meetings, came "oh, so close" and yet was denied what would have been a perfect 1950 season beginning for Coach Sikes, his coaching staff, a great bunch of hustling young players, to say nothing about thousands of loyal fans. For Coach Sikes, the game was a tough one to lose as he had seen his young team fight back gallantly to overcome the many mistakes it made throughout the game. Early in the first quarter, T.C.U. cashed in a t.d. on K.U.'s first error, a pass interception, but the picture was soon to change. This year's team, like the 1941 club, was quick to show its ability to fight back and knotted the score at 7-all two and a half minutes later. This ability to come back will be one of the prime factors in making K.U. a highly respected and dangerous team for 60 minutes of every game. For the third straight year, Coach Sikes was forced to break in a sophomore quarterback. In his first year at K.U., he started Dick Gilman. Last year it was Jerry Bogue who worked into the man-under position before the season was too old. This year's signal caller is Chet Strehlow, a rangy 6 foot 2 inch 195-pounder, who replaced the injured Jerry Bogue. Strehlow, like sophomore center Wint Winter, played all the game on offense. They both looked good, especially when you consider that neither had ever played a minute of college ball before taking the field against T.C.U. It was the way that Coach Sikes' young sophomores came through that made him happy. It gave him a line on brighter things to come later this year with normal development of his hustling squad. They possess a terrific desire to play good ball and become a great team. In commenting about the game, Coach Sikes said, "It was sure a tough one to lose, but I'll tell you one thing—we're mighty proud of these boys. We gained a lot in this game and we'll be ready for the next one." Kansas linemen showed up well on defense as did the linebackers and secondary defenders. Ron White, 185-pound junior guard, had a hand in 13 defensive tackles to pace the forward wall. KU With a little more than five minutes remaining, K.U. had successfully fought off and outplayed a seasoned T.C.U. team to a 7-7 tie that rated from one to three touchdown favorites. Except for a third quarter Horned Frog 71-yard drive, K.U. had kept its Southwest conference visitors pretty well "bottled up." At this point, Charlie Hoag, probably the most publicized sophomore football player ever to play for Kansas, got away on a spectacular 89-yard run that looked like a sure-fire Jayhawker victory. The only catch was that "tady luck" rode with T.C.U. Coach Dutch Meyer as a Kansas player was charged with an infraction which nullified the td. and instead placed the ball on the K.U. 1-yard line. From here on in, this spelled trouble and again the boys from Ft. Worth returned home with their third straight victory over Kansas. KU Hoag more than lived up to all his pre-season publicity and served notice that he'll be a great inspirational leader capable of going all the way at anytime. Had his touchdown counted, his initial game test would have ranked among the greatest ever turned in by a first year man. He accounted for 164 out of a total K.U. offense of 287 vards. Had his touchdown counted, his total offense would have been 253 yards, only 13 yards short of Ray Evans' all-time single game performance set in 1942 against Missouri. He would have also broken the all-time single game rushing record of 138 yards set by Ray Niblo in 1941 against Iowa State on 25 carries. Hoag's rushing total against T.C.U. was 101 yards on 17 carries and would have been 190 yards had his long run counted. Record book, watch out, for you may have to take to cover, especially your individual rushing marks.
