Who's This Clarence French-
French Is A Great Runner And Tops On Pass Defense
Few people on the University campus would recognize the name of Clarence N. French. But mention the name of Bud French and you'll immediately find you're speaking of a steady, hard-playing right halfback for Coach J. V. Sikes' Kansas Jayhawks.
A swift, driving runner, French has been a mainstay on Kansas squads since 1946.
One of his biggest days while since that time he's been a conwearing a Jayhawk uniform cameistent ground gainer for the JaySept. 24 when he led Coach Sike's hawks. In his first Varsity season crew in a great comeback at Boulder after the Buffs had the Jaycarries. The following year he hawks down 13 to 0. Although the reached his peak, as did the rest of Kansas efforts went for naught, the Kansas squad which made a brilliant 31-yard touchdawn run by New Year's engagement in Miami's French late in the second quarter Orange bowl.
BUD FRENCH
gave the Jayhawks inspiration to force the Coloradans to the final whistle. During the day's work, Bud carried the ball 10 times to travel 86 yards.
Being a sports star is nothing new for French. Since the day he started to central high in Kansas City, Mo., he's earned 19 letters in four sports. Twelve of the monograms were won in his last three prep years at Central where he competed in football, basketball, track, and baseball. In addition to those honors he was named to each all-City football, basketball, and baseball squad during his junior and senior years.
As is the case with many Kansas City, Mo., athletes, French was posed with a big problem after graduation from Central in 1942 in deciding whether to continue his pursuit for higher athletic attaintments at the University of Kansas or the University of Missouri. He made Mount Oread his choice and got in a season of freshman football before the navy postponed his career as a Jayhawker for three years.
He resumed his letter-winning habits in the spring of 1945 when he was a member of the Jayhawk baseball team. Since then he's gained three additional K's with Kansas diamond teams and was an outfield star on Coach Bill Hogan's 1948 Big Seven championship squad.
His Varsity grid career began under George Sauer in 1946 and
In 42 carries he gained 347 yards. But harder to equal was his record of not losing a single yard from scrimmage throughout the season. Last season French traveled 262 yards in 67 trie.
Not all of Bud's grid prowess rests on his attack of enemy lines. He also rates as one of the best pass defensemen in the league and is a top-drawer safety man.
By this time another football season rolls around, French will still be on the gridiron scene, but as a coach. His plans are to finish work for a master's degree during the summer.
But that's looking too far into the future. What Kansas football followers are interested in knowing is that Clarence N. French—Bud, that is—will continue to haunt Jayhawk grid enemies in 1949.
