TCU May Be Kansas' Toughest Foe For '50
By RAY SOLDAN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The lid-lifter of an attractive 10-game football schedule matches the Jayhawkers against their No. 1 non-conference nemesis, Texas Christian university. And this year Coach J. V. Sikes has already nominated the Frogs as possibly "our toughest opponent."
Kansas has scored only 20 points in seven previous meetings with T.C.U., losing five times and playing scoreless ties in 1946 and 1947.
Like the Jayhawkers, T.C.U. must rely on sophomores to fill key positions. Thirty-two of 85 men on **11** Hot Shot team squads will play on **10** to play in their first college, college
When the opening whistle blows at 2 p.m. Saturday, from three to five first-year men are expected to lineup on the Memorial stadium

turf for T.C.U. Among the standout sophomores are Guard Tom Evans, an aggressive 200-pounder; Fullback Bobby Jack Floyd, the spring sensation in Fort Worth; and Malvin Fowler, a classy halfback.
The Horned Frogs—that odd nickname was adopted in the early days of T.C.U. football when, according to authorities of the time, hundreds of these small lizards were noted on the practice field—are expected to be stronger on the ground this season, but definitely weaker in passing. The loss of Lindy Berry has cut deeply into the T.C.U. air arm, and has caused a shift to a new type formation.
The T.C.U. coach, Leo "Dutch" Meyer, has come up with a formation he calls the "T-wing". It is a combination of the double wing, which Meyer has used for years, and the straight T-formation. Meyer hopes that the "T-wing" will retain some of the passing potentialities of the double-wing, and add more versatility and quicker-hitting to his ground game. T.C.U. also

The Frog passing game cannot be counted out. Meyer has the monotonous habit of coming up with good flingers year after year. Among his passing proteges have been All-Americans Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien, and Lindy Berry of more recent vintage.
Despite the predominance of sophomores on the squad, the Frogs will not be an inexperienced team. Twenty-four lettermen — including seven who manned starting positions against K.U. a year ago—are the most experienced at the year of scouting and football at the Fort Worth institution.
Foremost among the returnees are backs Dan Wilde and John Morton, linemen Bill Moorman and Max Kicker, and extra-point kicker Homer, Ludiker.
Wilde, who T.C.U. is counting on as Berry's replacement at quarterback, averaged 6.4 yards a carry against Kansas in 1949. Included in this total was a 26-yard touchdown run on the first ball-carrying play of his Varsity career. Fullback Morton was the Frogs leading ground gainer in 1949. He compiled 607 pet-tyards rushing, 47 against K.U.
Place-kicking chores for the Texans will again be handled by Ludiker. The K.U. cross-bars have proved to be an easy target for the T.C.U. specialist.
