The 'New' Jayhawkers Give J. V. Sikes Birthday Present
Oklahoma Aggies are attending classes today.
The eagerly awaited and confidently expected homecoming "walk-out" vanished Saturday when the Kansas Jayhawkers gave their coach a birthday present marked 55 to 14.
The Kansans opened K.U.'s "new"
1849 football season with a display of skill, teamwork, and alert play that stunned approximately 26,000 spectators within a few minutes after the opening kickoff. Before the afternoon was over, the few Kansas fans present had performed their arm waving calisthenics eight times.
About midway through the third quarter many Cowboy fans decided they had seen enough. They left the stadium while the band played "The Old Gray Mare" (She ain't what she used to be.) The remaining Aggie alumni and students were almost silent, but Kansas followers, led by

two K.U. cheerleaders, were having a field day.
Outstanding teamwork was the key to victory. Jayhawker linemen played by far their best game of the season. Time after time, defensive linemen ploughed through the Cowboys to spill the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage. The offensive line cleared paths for K.U. backs as well as providing excellent protection for passers and kickers.
Passing dominated the Jayhawk offense during the first three quarters. The third quarter showed that K.U. also had a running attack that had to be reckoned with.
KU. was on the receiving end of most of the interceptions Saturday. Bill Mace and Forrest Griffith made the two most spectacular interceptions of the game. Mace made a onehand fielding catch of a Jack Hartman pass, and Griffith stole another one in the fourth quarter when he zipped across the field and leaped high into the air to take the ball on the 50 yard line.
Dick Gilman and Jerry Bogue passed with rifle-like accuracy throughout the game. Bill Schake and Lynn Smith were their two favorite receivers. Willie Modrcin, Johnny Amberg, and Bud French were the workhorses of the running department. Dale Mallon and Wade Stinson also turned in good

K. U. runners had good downfield blocking. Both Carl Ellis and Bob Talkington picked up interference immediately after recovering fumbles which led to Kansas touchdowns.
Bill Rhinehart was impressive in his kicking role as he converted seven out of eight attempts.
The Jayhawks overflowed with spirit. It seemed as if they grew snappier with each play. Ball handling was greatly improved. Handoffs and pitch-outs were carried out with precision.
After the game, Kansas fans found Coach J. V. Sikes sitting outside the Jayhawks' dressing room. He smiled continuously repeating, "We're mighty happy" to the fans who congratulated him. "The boys gave me a mighty fine birthday present," he said.

That scene outside the Oklahoma fieldhouse was probably the only joyous one in Stillwater Saturday
afternoon. The town was strangely silent. "Mudville" of baseball fame had company.
1. With 9 minutes left to play in the first quarter, Bud French took the ball on the Cowboy 34 yard line and went over right guard for a touchdown. Rhinehart's kick was no good.
Kansas scoring went like this:
2. About two minutes after K.U.'s first score, Bogue passed to Smith in the end zone. Rhinehart's kick was good.
3. Jack Hartman faded to pass, but fumbled when he was hit by Chuck O'Neal. Carl Ellis, a guard, recovered the ball in the air and ran 81 yards for a touchdown. Rhinehart's kick good.
4. Bogue passed to Schaake for 22 yards and a touchdown. Rhinehart converted again.
5. Bob Talkington recovered an A. and M. fumble on the Cowboy 15 yard line and went all the way. Rinehart again converted.
6. Schaake caught a Gilman pass on the one foot line after it had been jugged by three Aggie players. On the next play, Stinson went through the middle for the
