Three Linemen Will Punt For KU
(Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series of articles about the 1950 Kansas football prospects).
The 1950 Kansas football team will have two veteran kickers and two sophomores to provide the Jayhawkers with the strongest punting since pre-war years. Three of this group are linemen, a rather rare feat.
Linemen capable of handling the punting chores have been scarces in Big Seven football circles, but Coach J. V. Sikes will field three this fall as he starts his third year as Jayhawker gridiron technician.
Holdovers from 1949 are lettermen Dolph Simons, senior guard, and Bill Mace, 212-pound senior who has been shifted from backback to guard. The newcomer is George Mrkonic, 207 - pound freshman tackle.
All three, along with Charlie Hoag, a highly-regarded freshman halfback, will see plenty of action
Mace and Simons handled the KU. punting the past year, the former finishing fifth among Big Seven kickers, averaging 38.1 yards on 34 boots. Mrkonic has been kicking long and high all spring and shows much promise.
No wonder women say they've never known such perfect fit!
Are you tall? medium? short?
There's a perfect MOJUD length for you. Thighs a bit thick?
There's a perfect MOJUD stocking for you! All this plus the hidden inch... extra give and resilience right in the knit... for better fit—feel—wear.

when the Jayhawkers collide in the third annual spring intra-sequid game this Saturday in Memorial stadium. Hoag's long and accurate kicks may earn him the club's No. 1 booting chores.
Hoag, who divided punting duties with Mrkonic on the 1949 undefeated frosh club, looks to have the inside track because he owns an "educated toe."
Against Kansas State's frost the past year, Hoag got off one punt that traveled 67 yards from scrimmage before going out of bounds. This spring, his boots have not only been long, but trained into the coffin corner with the accuracy of radar. In one practice game this spring, Hoag punted over fifty yards and out of bounds inside the 5-yard line on two occasions.
If one of the K.U. linemen lano a regular punting berth, he will be the first to carry the load for a Big Seven team since Nebraska's Jack Pesek was booming tremendous spirals for the Cornhuskers three seasons ago. He averaged 41.1 yards on 51 boots that season for one of the nation's top marks.
All four Kansas kicking candidates are still battling for first string berths as the Jayhawkers near the end of their final week of spring drills.
Kansas has had place-kicking linemen such as Tommy McCall, Don Fambrough, both guards, but no punter since the old Big Six was founded had seen regular action until Simons.
Simons, George Kennard, a 200-pound junior, and John Idoux, sturdy senior veteran, are the other lettermen. Most prominent among the sophomores-to-be are Art Spratt, madeover fresh tackle; George Abel, former all-state 192-pounder; and Jack Luschen, 181-pounder who was also an all-state tackle
Two of this, group must come through for Coach Sikes if K.U. is to field guards of starting Big Seven caliber in 1950.
Mace, although released early for baseball, ranks high in the picture. He turned in the club's best single-game job of linebacking in 1940 against the University of Arizona in the season's final game.
In point after touchdown department, junior Bill Rinehard, who booted 25 out of 37 extra points in 1949, will again handle the extra point production with his "educated toe." Fox Cashell, sophomore, will provide added protection.
