Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assist Sports Editor
Most of our readers probably have noticed our new nameplate for this column, "Along the Jayhawk Trail." We are grateful to campus cartoonist, Paul Coker, fine arts senior, for his work in helping to get our ideas developed.
KU
With football interest mounting by the hour, let's take a look at the Jayhawkers' opener with Texas Christian university here Saturday. After reading all the material available concerning T.C.U., we'll string along with what Coach Jules V. S. Kisses recently said, "Coach Meyer's Horned Frogs will probably be K.U.'s toughest opponent this year." A glance at the Kansas schedule shows that this includes Oklahoma, Missouri, and Nebraska all of which should rate high nationally this year.
FISS
Kansas and T.C.U. are alike in several respects. The following is a comparison of the teams. If after reading this you still want to climb out on that "well-known" limb with those bets and parley cards, please don't blame us for "losing your shirt."
Both teams are loaded with outstanding backs . . . K.U. Backfield Coach, Cliff Kimsey, can lead with eight fine sophomore backs which include starting halfbacks, Charlie Hoag, probably the most publicized sophomore ever to play for Kansas, and Hal Clevinger. Others are Galen Fiss, Chet Strehlow (who may start in place of injured quarterback Jerry Bogue), Pat Murphy, Bob Brandeberry, Fox Cashell, and Bud Laughlin. The Jayhawkers also have Dean Wells, Wade Stinson, Henry Lamping, and Co.Capt. John Amberg, all better than average backs . . .
The Frogs' backs are big, fast, and the pile-driving type from the old school that have been jockeying back and forth all fall for starting nods at all positions . . .
In the line, Coach A. H. "Pop" Werner can offer another eight sophomores that lack experience but show plenty of ability and desire to play ball.
Four of these linemen, George Mrkonic and Oliver Spencer, guards, and centers Melvin Gish and Wint Winter are in line for first-line duty. Four others, guards George Abel and Jack Luschen, and tackles Virgil Wenger and Bill Schaben, are strong challengers.

GISH
Adding support to these first year men will be veteran ends Lyn Smith, Orbon Tice, Bill Schaake, Charles O'Neal, and Aubrey Linville. Four tackles, Co-Capt. Mike McCormack, Bob Talkington, S. P. Garnett, and Carl Sandefur, give adequate strength. Moving in one notch, we find four lettermen, Dolph Simons, George Kennard, John Idoux, and Bill Mace, at guard
At the all-important center spot, K.U. hasn't a single player that has logged a minute of Varsity time . . . This could prove fatal as sophomores must come through without gaining much needed game-experience.
The Jacwhawkers' running attack should be stronger, but the passing attack must prove itself under game pressure—the former relying heavily on the latter to be effective . . . The K.U. defense should be better with sophomore help at last year's biggest weakness, linebacking. This year's sophomores like their football "rougher-the-better" which should make the tackling and defense more effective in the line and secondary . . .
One thing for sure about Coach Sikes' young club, they have a terrific "desire to win" and play the game for keeps. . . This club won't know when it is beaten and you can rest assured that they'll battle every opponent a full 60 minutes before raising the white flag . . .
Ford Sparking New York Yank Pennant Drive
New York. Sept. 21—(U.P.)—Just think of all the red faces there will be in the automobile capital of Detroit if those New York Yankees run away in the American league stretch race with their 1950 model Ford.
The Yankee Ford-Whitey Ford that is—was a streamlined V-8 speedster today with a straight eight victories and no defeats, his last two wins coming when they were desperately needed to prevent the Yankees from skidding right off the main pennant highway.
Yesterday he pitched the Yankees to a three-hit, 8 to 1 victory over the Chicago White Sox for the eighth victory in a row since he joined the club as a wet-behind-the-ears-rookie fresh from Kansas City at mid-season. Had he lost the Yankees would have tumbled back into second place behind the Tigers, who scored an uphill, 6 to 5 victory over the Athletics in Detroit.
Today the Yankees were half a game in front of the Tigers and two full games ahead of the third place Red Sox, who ran into disaster at Cleveland yesterday where they blew 6 to 3 and 7 to 1 decisions to the vengeance-bent Indians.
