Kansas will send a made over defense against George Washington here Saturday as both clubs strive for their first win of the 1949 football season before an expected crowd of 18,000 in Memorial stadium.
Outgained by each opponent in three consecutive defeats, K.U.
will barricade its front line with three tackles in a move to lift its restricting power to a par with an improving offense.
The new alignment will feature Mike McCormack, 228-pound offensive right tackle, at guard. There he will mesh with Dick Tomlinson, 204-pound all-conference holdover, and the regular defensive tackles, Wally Rouse and S. P. Garnett.
This will give the Red and Blue mid-line a quartet averaging 215. Lyn Smith, who came up with his best performance against Iowa State last Saturday, and Chuck O'Neal will continue at defensive ends.
Line Coach Pop Werner's remodelled rampart won't have to wait past Saturday for a severe test. George Washington will send one of the most potent single-wings in the east against it. Schoolied by Bo Rowland, the sharp-witted Vanderbilt lawyer, the Colonials are long on power, speed and durability
They operate off an unbalanced line, block hard, especially on sweeps and, with the exception of Oklahoma, were the fiercest tackling team Kansas faced last season.
Although Kansas banged out 259 yards along the ground against G. W. last year, the Jayhawkers had to go to the air for both their touchdowns, Quarterback Dick Gillman flipping 29 yards to Forrest Griffith and Halfback Frank Pattee arching 32 to Cliff McDonald.
This is a phase of their attack the Kansans hope to improve against G. W. Through the first three games last season, the Kansans fired six touchdown passes. For the same period this year they have completed only one. Although Dick Gilman and Jerry Bogue, the club's two top quarterbacks, are high among Big Seven passing leaders, their completion mark is less than 300.
If the Jayhawkers can shake the bumps out of their air offense and maintain their 193-yard-per game ground average, they will put the pressure on Rowlands stalwarts all the way.
Kansas needs this one to snap a
Barbara Burdick, College freshman, was one of three American students attending the American Women's college at Arnavutkoy, Istanbul, Turkey the past year. Miss Smith's father, a civil engineer in the bureau of Planning Public Roads, was teaching the Turks American methods of building roads.
Student Back From Turkey
The American Women's college is an American subsidized school. It was founded in the late 19th century by American missionaries, but its sponsorship has since been taken over by various American foundations.
The majority of the 700 students are Turkish or Armenian, but most teachers are American. Last year, Miss Burdick studied Turkish, French, sociology, history of art, biology, and comparative literature.
Classes start at 8:50 a.m. and each one lasts 45 minutes, Miss Burdick said. At 4:30 p.m., when classes end, all students are required to go to tea. Smoking is forbidden on the campus.
"Since practically every nationality is represented in Arnavutkoy, many different customs are accepted. You can be as American as you please and no one cares," Miss Burdick said.
"No matter how long you live in Arnavutkoy, when you leave, you feel that you have not taken advantage of even a fraction of the culture and beauty it offers." She explained.

Jayhawkers Must Hold Davis To Win Saturday
Last week it was the Big Seven's leading passer, Bill Weeks, of Iowa State, who most concerned the Jayhawkers. Three weeks ago the Kansans spent much of their practice time trying to build a barricade for Lindy Berry of Texas Christian.
Now comes Davis. The 23-year-old Colonial tailback is one of the nation's most versatile. As a freshman last year he unreleased an auspicious debut finishing sixth among the nation's total offense individualists. He ran up 1231 yards in 263 plays, Only Stan Heath of Nevada; Chao-Choo Justice of North Carolina; Fred Wendt, Texas Mines; Berry, and Jimmy Finks of Tulsa were better.
Kansas will again face individual defensive problems this Saturday when it runs into Andy Davis of George Washington in Memorial Stadium.
J. V. Sikes' first Kansas edition shut out Davis and his southern mates, 12-0, in Washington, D.C. last year, largely because of the fact that they ground out 259 yards rushing in short chunks and handled the ball 80 times against only 45 for the Colonials.
Handy-Andy hit his '48 stride in the Colonials second game last Saturday. He gained 175 yards running and passing in addition to scoring his club's lone touchdown as it went down before V.M.I. 7-14.
Two weeks ago Virginia smothered the Colonial's running attack at minus 8. But Davis still was the big thorn. He stuck his mates in the ball game by completing a pass from his own end zone for the first George Washington touchdown. He set up the second in the second quarter with two more pegs. The Colonials, however, still lost, 13-27.
Coach Bo Rowland owns some other sturdy tools also. In Stan Burak he boasts the Southern Conference's top blocking back. Al Dugoff, 190-pound senior, is a hard-ramming full.
Trailing the Big Seven in all phases of defense, Kansas must take a brace Saturday if it expects to

break the win column. Rowland's single-wing is one of the few standards left in the game today, hitting powerfully off an unbalanced line.
If the Jayhawks can halter this attack, the Colonials will have a long afternoon with K.U.'s improving attack. To date Sikes' performers have banged a respectable average of 193 yards per game aground, despite the fact that they have given the ball away 24 times on fumbles and interceptions.
Right halfback Bud French is fourth among league ball carriers at 183 yards, Fullback Forrest Griffith sixth at 165. Last Saturday against Iowa State Sikes pulled Quarterback Dick Glilman out of the hat as a running threat, the lanky signal-caller rambling 134 yards in seven carries. He scored the lone Jayhawk touchdown on a 36-vard scamper.
Saturday's meeting will be the finale of the current series between the two clubs. Kansas can square accounts at 3-3 with a victory. There have been no ties.
Kansas rushing conceivably would be even better with first class aid from its passing attack. The scourge of the conference last season with 16 aerial touchdowns, the Jayhawks to date this season have completed only .291 per cent of their flips. If protection continues to improve as it did against Iowa State this department should pick up.
