He's A Marked Man
No One Wants To Tackle Griffith, It's Like Stopping A Bulldozer.
Iowa State football players who have been around Big Seven playing fields the past two seasons won't have trouble remembering Forrest Griffith when the Cyclones run up against the Jayhawk's ace backl in Memorial stadium Saturday. It was at the expense of the 1947 Iowa State team that the twice all-Big Seven selection made his first big bid for fame as the top fullback of the midlands.
Prior to Oct. 4, 1947, when the Jayhawks crushed the Iowans 27 to 7. Griffith had been a steady but unspectacular, member of Coach George Sauer's squad. All-American Ray Evans carried the burden of the Kansas attack. But greater things were to came.
On that day Griffith simply rolled. Displaying explosive speed and power, he couldn't be stopped by the Cyclones. With the addition of that bit of dynamite to Evan's already spectacular abilities, Kansas swept to a tie for the conference title and a journey to Miami's Orange Bowl.
Teams other than the Cyclones had also found it difficult to hold back the frisky sophomore sensation. During the year he bullied his way over 483 yards in 86 carriers and led conference scoring with a booming 54 points. Kansas probably wouldn't have gone to Miami if it hadn't been for Griffith.

Oread Leads IM"A"League
Oread hall became the first intramural "A" team to win two games Thursday afternoon. Oread, always a strong contender in the Independent league, nipped Sterling hall 7 to 6. Other Independent winners Thursday were the Air Screws, Don Henry, Bronchos, Spartans, and Dix club. Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Delta Theta won first-round Fraternity "B" games.
Scoring in the first and second periods, Air Screws blanked A.I.E.E. 13 to 0. Bill Chaney passed for both touchdowns, one going to Ed Schmidt and the other to Bill Hotton. Ike Hoover accounted for the other point on a place kick following the first touchdown. An alert pass defense held the engineers in check.
After a scoreless first half, Sterling scored late in the third quarter on a pass from Bud Kihm to Morton Yaamans. The try for the extra point was wide. Later Jim Williams tossed 8 yards to Dick Kuhne for an Oread score. Doctor then kicked the winning point.
Phi Delta Theta "B" team edged ATO "B", 4 to 0. A hard-charging Phi Delt line twice broke through to tag ATO ball carriers in the end zone for the margin of victory. The Phi Delt's only sustained drive was halted on the ATO 15-yard line.
Phil Doctor drepckicked an extra point to give Oread hall its 7 to 6 win over Sterling hall. Doctor's conversion broke a 6 to 6 tie in the fourth quarter. It was Oread's second victory of the season.
Sparked by the all around play of Bob Revelette, Phi Gamma Delta
around, Griffith was a marked man. Opponents wouldn't take their eyes from him. Despite their precautions the Lee's Summit, Mo., "bulldozer rolled for 368 yards in 96 trips with the ball and scored 37 points as well. Forrest Griffith was still quite a backlash.
From the showing of the Cyclones against Illinois a week ago it is apparent the Iowans will be showing the Jayhawks more power than in past years. But it will take an exceptionally high-caliber Ames squad to slow down Forrest Griffith, top backfull of the Big Seven.
"B" team pushed over a last-half touchdown and safety to defeat Delta Tau Delta, 9 to 0. Talback Bill Porter passed 40 yards to Revelette in the third quarter for the game's only touchdown. Hervey MacFerran converted the extra point. Lineman Jim Nellis tagged Tom Young. Delt halfback, in the end zone for the safety.
The Broncos defeated Last Chance, 8 to 0. Neither team was able to make any successful offensive until the Broncos connected for a touchdown and a safety.
With Gordon Jarchow tossing five touchdown passes, Don Henry rumped over Y. M. C. A., 32 to 9. The half score was 19 to 0. The remainder of the scoring was done in the last quarter.
Outstanding passing, one pass good for 85 yards, gave the victory to Don Henry. Virgil Bruning, Jack Davenport, Don Short, and Sharles Shara scored touchdowns for Don Henry. Shara scored twice.
Jack Crain's passing provided the Spartans with a 26 to 0 win over Wesley. Crain hit Cliff Wade for a touchdown in the first quarter on a sleeper play. Dick Bradley was Crain's target for the successful conversion flip that gave the Spartans a 7 to 0 advantage.
Later in the game Bradley took two Crain aerials for touchdowns, and Mel Brown was on the receiving end of a conversion pass by Crain, Harold Duke accounted for the other Spartan score in running back a pass interception.
All the scoring came in the first half as Dix club bested Navy 12 to 0. Lou Ferguson passed for both of the Dix counters. Jerry Puneney took the first touchdown aerial and Bill McDonald the second.

Cyclone Offense Gets Going Over
Ames, Iowa, Sept 30-Iowa State newly revealed "T-V" offense, is getting a sound going-over this week as the Cyclone footballers prepare for their invasion of Kansas Saturday.
Coach Abe Stuber, combining the standard Bear "T" with a punt variously described as "half punt," "short punt," "friendly punt" and "V" formation," has come up with an offense best described as "T-V" offense.
Work on the kicking game continued as the Cyclones scrimmaged this week. Stuber sent his "T-V" offense into action and then watched to see what it would do against the Kansas defensive formations.
Blocking improvement is one objective as the Cyclones get ready for the ayahawkers. Presence of one or two extra blocks at the right time against Illinois could have made a lot of difference.
