DICK GILMAN
Gilman To Schaake A Kansas Threat
Gilman Throws
Versatile Dick Gilman, All-conference quarterback in 1948 and fullback in Coach J. V. Sikes new offensive strategy this year, will be playing his last conference game as a Jayhawker Saturday.
Gilman completed 49 passes for 945 yards in the 1948 season to become the passing sensation of the Big Seven.
Shifted to fullback mid-way in the present season he continued his deadly attack on enemy pass defenses. Coupled with his aerial accuracy is his ever present threat as a ground gainer under Coach Sikes new optional throw or run strategy.
Gilman currently ranks second in conference standings with 41 completions out of 101 attempts for a total of 744 yards.
Varsity, Frosh Meet On The Court
Basketball fans will get their first look at Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's 1949-50 Jayhawkers tonight when they play the freshmen at 9 p.m. in Hoch auditorium.
Dr. Allen is expected to start three tall sophomores, along with a junior and senior. Jerry Waugh, defensive workhorse, will start at one forward spot. The other will go to Bill Lienhard, outstanding sophomore.
Clyde Lovellette, six-foot nine inch center, will hold down the pivot assignment.
The starting guards will be sopphomores Bill Houghland and veteran Claude Houchin.
This lineup will be the tallest Jayhawker five ever to take the Hoch auditorium court.
Schaake Receives
Schake stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighs 192 pounds. He plays offensive end.
In Bill Schaake, the "new" Jayhawkers present the third ranking pass receiver of the Big Seven conference. Schaake, favorite target for Kansas passers, has received 22 passes for a total of 344 yards. This is bettered only by Jim Doran of Iowa State and Gene Ackerman of Missouri.
The 19-year-old sanhomore was named on both the all-state football and basketball teams in his senior year in high school. He attended Lawrence high school.
With two years of eligibility left, Schaake should develop into one of the best ends in the conference if not the country.

'New' Jayhawker Plan For A Happy Homecoming
Coach J. V. Sikes' Kansas Jayhawkers, the most improved team in the conference, will hit Missouri with a versatile attack that should give the Tiger defenses plenty of headaches when their 58th annual game unfolds Saturday at Memorial Stadium before an expected 40,000 homecoming fans. The field high and most observers are expecting a high
Both teams will be fired high and most observers are expecting a high scoring battle between two of the midland's most versatile offenses. The
mere fact that it's K.U. vs. Misouri should be enough to fire both teams. But some other factors will contribute.
Despite all the talk about the possible effects of the game on the conference standings and a potential bowl bid for the winner, the Jayhawkers for the present at least can think of nothing sweeter than a victory over their arch rivals and some revenge for Missouri's 21 to 7 win of last year.
Tiger Coach Don Faurot moans about a possible Tiger let down after their Oklahoma game but any K. U. fan who believes this will happen is indulging in wishful thinking. Missouri hasn't forgotten their 1946
GRIFFITH
and 1497 loss to K.U., nor the fact that they haven't whipped K.U. in Lawrence since 1941 (their 1945 win was in Kansas City).
The running attack has improved and the team caught fire with winning spirit and hustle. They ran well in the second half against both Oklahoma A. & M. and Kansas State after relying to a large extent on their passing to move ahead. But against Nebraska the Jayhawkers proved their veracity by using a big second half ground attack to win. Of their four touchdowns, only the last one was scored on a pass and the first three were counted without the aid of one.
And M. U. can sew up second place in the Big Seven and virtually assure themselves of a bowl berth by winning. Kansas would cinch a third place tie with a triumph. In order for K. U. to tie for second, K-State would have to beat the Tigers, which is a somewhat remote possibility.
Kansas has earned the tag of the league's most improved team with their record of four wins in the last five games, during which time they have averaged five touchdowns a game. The shifting of Dick Gilman to fullback to give the team a double-barrelled passing threat with Jerry Bogue and Gilman firing from both positions was the turning point. But the Jayhawkers have improved in almost every department.
were counted without the aid. They earned the first one on a blocked punt when Nebraska punted from the K.U. 40. Bud French, who has become a dangerous straight-ahead
threat on quick openers during the winning drive, scored twice on them in the third quarter to break the club out of a 7 to 7 tie. The Jayhawkers got their chance and cashed in twice with out completing a pass.
Then came the last three of Nebraska's five scoring threats. Five times in all the Cornhuskers were stopped on downs a few yards away from pay dirt. And after five goal line stands the Jayhawks still had enough left to put on their clinching mid-oddow drive, set up on a bogue running and scored on a Bogue to Bill Schake fourth down pass. Their strong finish showed the team's fine condition and will to win.

However, the experts are picking the Tigers by six points.

Attendance Mark May Be Bettered
All stadium seats were sold by October 3, the earliest sell-out in Jayhawker history. Three thousand bleacher seats also went early which means the Red and Blue front office already has peddled nearly 38,000 ducats. A limited number of standing room tickets will go on sale at the stadium at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, a half hour before the kick-off. How many of these are sold will determine how closely the record will be threatened.

Among other things, Kansas and Missouri may better their present all-time Big Seven crowd record of 40,043 here Saturday when they unravel the fifty-eighth renewal of their flaming football feud in Memorial stadium.

Favored Missouri Needs Win To Keep Second Place
By GEORGE BROWN, JR.
The Misouri Tigers boasting the famed Faurot split T offense will hit Memorial stadium Saturday primed for a victory over the Kansas Jayhawkers.
The Kansas-Missouri gridiron series dates back to 1891 with only one year since-1918—that the two did not meet. Kansas is on top in victories
GILMAN
with 27. Missouri has won 23. Seven games have ended in a tie.
The Missouri split T present a versatile attack. Quarterback Phil Klein has a wide variety of ground plays to choose from. He can handoff lateral out, sneak down the middle or cut off tackle. Through the air lanes, Klein may pass himself or lateral back to either halfback for a running pass. John Glorioso passes right handed, and Dick Braznell is a lefty.
Don Faurot's version of the T presents a "slider" quarterback rather than the usual "spinner." Under this system, the quarterback takes the center snap and moves parallel with the line of scrimmage making him
a little more effective as a runner than off the standard T. He may cut off tackle if the way is clear, or he may lateral back to an end sweeping half-back and turn blocker. This exerts tremendous pressure on opposing ends and tackles.
Another characteristic of the split T is wider line spacing. Fauro's line-men maintain one-foot spacing between center and guard, two feet between guard and tackle and a yard between tackle and end.
Faurot's theory behind this maneuver is to split the defense. It's more difficult for the opposition to stop the split T if they have to widen their line. The spread provides greater use of inside and outside handoffs which are a vital part of the Tiger's quick hitting offense.
are a vital part of the Tigers' quest.
The Tigers also have the personnel to effectively engineer this attack. The opposition can't afford to over-balance any defenses to stop a particular halfback. The Missouri Tigers present two capable of going all the way at the highest provocation. Klein, Glorioso and Braznell are all top notch passers. Klein ranks third in the Big Seven conference standings with 89 completions out of 81 attempts for a total yardage of 593. Braznell is seventh with 311 yards, and Glorioso ranks twelfth.
Braznell, 176-pounder, is seventh in rushing and Glorioso eleventh.
Braznell, 176-pounder, is seventh in Fishing Glorioso, 180 pound junior, is second in scoring in the Big Seven with 68 points. Braznell is in a three way tie for fourth with 42 points.
The Lineups
Winfield Carter, fullback converted from guard, is an excellent blocker on the Tiger's wide stuff, and a relentless tackler as a linebacker.

Klein, 159-pounder, may be small, but he's a sharp play caller and field general.
Up front the Tigers field a line averaging better than 200 pounds. The line is a trifle slow but hard to move. Anchoring the line is Captain Bob Fuchs. The 210 pound senior center was tabbed the best of the Big Seven's fine crop of pivot starts last year. Fuchs, a terror on defense and offense, is being hailed as an All-American potential.
The Tigers came out of last week's battle with Oklahoma fairly intact physically. Mike Ghnouly, safety man, may not be ready to play.
