Gilman Ranks Second In Total Offense, Passing
Last year Dick Gilman passed himself from the status of a fourthstring halfback to that of an all-conference quarterback. Now he is threatening to become almost equally effective as a runner.

Through the first five games he
has gained 379 yards through the air and 161 along the ground for a total of 540. Only Iowa State's whip-arm quarterback, B j11 Weeks, is higher, having pitched 713 yards and picked up 20 more on the ground.
Gilman shot past Missouri's splendid right halfback, Dick Braznell, into the runner-up spot last Saturday when he collected 150 yards passing and 17 running as Kansas exploded four touchdowns against highly-favored Oklahoma in a 26 to 48 defeat at Norman. Braznell has ripped off 488 yards in four games.
Gilman first broke out as a runner against Iowa State, running up 134 net yards in only seven carries while scoring the lone Kansas touchdown on a '36 yard spin. Against O.U. last week he faked a pass from the Sooner ten then shot around his own right end for a counter.
Coach J. V. Sikes' optional runnass plays came of age against the Senators after budding encouragingly against Iowa State and George Washington. Jerry Bogue, who alternates with Gilman as the man-under, rambled seven yards through a spread defense for K.U.'s first touchdown against Oklahoma.
The Aggies, plus Kansas' remaining opponents are going to see plenty of this poison, especially when Gilman moves back to full with Bogue taking over close up.
The former's show against Iowa State came within four yards of the Jayhawks' all-time individual ground-gaining mark for a single game. Halfback Ray Nible set this at 138 against Iowa State in 1941 but he lugged the ball 25 times only seven balls by Gillman. The rangy senior is fifteenth among conference ball carriers. Last season he gained only 22 yards rushing throughout the 10-game route.
Dick hasn't neglected his flinging either. His output against Oklahoma moved him into second place in the league standings behind Weeks. However, the Cyclone pitcher owns a tremendous 334 yard lead, which means that Gilman can just about bid goodbye to his 1948 title in this department.
Bogue has moved to fifth with 270 yards in 13 completions on 38 throws. He is the highest sophomore in the circuit trailing Phil Klein of Missouri and Nebraska's on Nagle in addition to Weeks and Gilman.
The Jayhawks will run into a passing hurricane themselves when they tie into the Cowpokes in the eighth game of their inter-conference series. In Jackie Hartman the Pokes own one of the nation's top pitchers. Through Saturday's 28 to 0 victory over Drake the 175-pound Webb Cityan ranked fifth in the country on 628 yards. Even more disturing to a wobbly Kansas pass defense is the fact that the Poke pilot has completed better than 55 percent of his pegs. In Clipper Lloyd and the 215-pound Don Van Pool he has two excellent targets.
A. and M. will rate a strong favorite. Only loss was a 7 to 21 setback from Missouri and the Tigers' total is the lowest they have registered all season. Furthermore Jim Lookabaugh's crew tied brawny Texas Christian, 33 to 33, the week after the Frogs shutout Kansas, 28 to 0.
The Punchers will be up for this one too since Kansas has wrenched three tight triumphs from them in a row. The last two have been 13 to 7. In 1946, Kansas fashioned a 14 to 13 win at Lawrence over the defending Sugar bowl kings.

Aggies High In Statistics
Coach Jim Lookabaugh's club ranks high in rushing defense, passing offense, and total offense, and holds a 33 to 39 tie with Texas Christian, a club that beat Kansas 28 to 0.
Oklahoma A. & M. will give Kansas some of the roughest opposition that could be found anywhere Saturday, if team statistics released today by the National Collegiate Athletic bureau are any indication.
The first 20 teams in offense and defense are ranked according to average yards gained or allowed a game. Only the first dozen are listed in punt and kickoff returns, with rankings by average per play. Team punting leaders include the first 20.
Oklahoma's average of 302.8 yards a game rushing is second only to Texas Western and Wyoming, both of whom are considered major schools by the N. C. A. B. Only major schools are ranked. They are determined by their schedules.
Conference Teams High Although interesting, the statistics prove nothing since the quality of opposition is not taken into account. Big Seven conference teams rank high in some departments.
Aggies Tough Defensively
Oklahoma is third in rushing defense, allowing only 69 yards a game.
Oklahoma Aggies, with three defensive line averaging 229 pounds from teammates, takes sixth place in Maryland and Notre Dame. The stingy Aggies have given up only 88.8.
Iowa State holds fourth in total offense with 407.8, being outranked only by Texas Western, Texas, and Cornell, Oklahoma is a step back of Notre Dame with 384.5, while Missouri is 13th at 383. Oklahoma's Aggies are 19th with 364.5 a game.
Oklahoma A. & M. has marked up 199.3 yards a game passing, second only to Texas 203.6. Missouri is 10th with 165.5, Iowa State 17 at 158.6.
Platoon Causes High Scoring Says Sikes
Read the Want Ads Daily.
Coach Jules V. Sikes says that the two-platonon system increases a team's chances of scoring.
"We're getting 10 or 12 more plays a game now," said Sikes. "I think the system is a contributing factor."
Coach Sikes was commenting as to what has caused college football to develop into a point-a-minute binge.
A survey of leading coaches in the country proved only that the coaches don't agree. The only point agreed on was that the sport has become definitely "offense minded."
Coaches Ivy Williamson of Wisconsin, Matty Bell of S.M.U., and Jess Necly of Rice agree with Coach Sikes.
Agree With Sikes
Earl Blaik of Army, Henry Franka of Tulane and Biggie Munn of Michigan State argue that the two-platoon has nothing to do with it.
Blaik says that all the proof you need is the fact that Notre Dame doesn't use the system.
The only reason for the high scoring, he says, is that the teams beaten weren't as good as they were supposed to be.

with an formation.
"Not long ago a team used either the straight single or double wing or the Notre Dame box." he says.
"A team could then prepare for one offense. Now a team uses 10 or 12 variations of one formation. A team can't get ready for that many."
Notre Dame's Frank Leahy argues that substitutes help run up scores.

Missouri's 'Gater Bowl' team Oct. 15 applied the clincher on 1949 guesses as to its power when it stopped Illinois, 27 to 20. That was the same Illinois team, improved by three games, that held the Cyclones to a 20 to 20 tie Sept. 24.
