Lindy Berry, T.C.U.'s star in last year's 28 to 0 win over Kansas, has graduated. His absence offers Coach Leo "Dutch" Meyer his greatest rebuilding problem in trying to find someone that can provide the all-around player-leadership provided by last year's quarterback.
Dan Wilde, a 175-pound junior quarterback, is the No.1 hope with sophomore Gilbert Bartosh ready to move in if he should falter.
A check on last year's K.U.T.C.U. game shows the real reason why Coach Meyer has been worried about trying to locate someone to take up where Berry left off. . . He scored two touchdowns, one on a 56-yard pass interception . . . He picked up 138 yards passing and another 25 yards on the ground. . . He ran or passed the ball on 30 of the 63 plays while he was in the game.
DAN WILDE TCU Quarterback
Wilde, is a good all-around triple-threat player, but lacks experience and confidence that Berry possessed. Last year this young second-string quarterback completed seven out of 25 passes for 175 yards, accounted for 199 yards in 52 carries, and averaged 38.8 yards on 34 punts.
This year's T.C.U.-Kansas game looks like it might develop into quite a scoring duel, although Kansas has had trouble crossing the t.d. stripe on the Frogs. We think the offense on both clubs is ahead of the defense and each will shake loose its runners. Watch for Charlie Hoag, Hal Cleavinger, Fowler, Floyd, and others to get into the secondary and really "carry the mail."
Competition is making eight outstanding T.C.U. backs fight it out for starting positions. At fullback, veteran John Morton, 220-pounder, and sophomore Bobby Jack Floyd are battling it out for the 1 berth. At right halfback, Malvin Fowler, 196-pound sophomore, is getting a slight nod over John Medianich, 185-pound junior. Senior Johnny Dunn is receiving opposition from sophomore John Harville for his left half spot.
In order for the Frogs better than average two-deep backfield to operate effectively, Wilde must offer the leadership that Berry so capably provided last year.
