Sophomores Are Depended Upon In KU Lineup
BY RICHARD DILSAVER
When the University of Kansas football season of 1948 ended, Coach Jules Sikes was entitled to be concerned as he looked to the future. First-class crimson and blue grid warriors such as Dave Schmidt, Frank Patee, Hugh Johnson, Bryan and Ken Sperry, Dick Monroe, Charley Moffett, and Dick Bertuzzi were not going to be around any more.
It didn't take Sikes long to realize that an important item in the success of his 1949 club would be the satisfactory first-year performances of men who had spent the 1948 football year being initiated last season to the K.U. system by Wayne Replogle, freshman coach.
When the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian walloped the Jayhawkers Sept. 17 those newcomers were put to their first test. How did they fare?
It ought to be pleasing to Sikes and his corps of assistants that the outlook isn't bad on the sophomore front. Two of them were on the firing line at starting time against T.C.U. their six ay action.
Linville took two aerials from the blue for a total gain of 67 yards. That made him the Jayhawks' leading pass receiver for the day. If he does that kind of work during the remainder of the season, it's not likely that anyone will be disappointed in Aubrey Linville as a sophomore end for the Crimson and Blue.
Aubrey Linville and Ron White were the lads who got the call for the starting lineup in their first college game.
Defensive chores made up most of White's responsibility at the right guard slot. He turned in a performance that was satisfactory enough to rate him as probable starter again tomorrow when Kansas meets the Colorado Buffaloes.
Not all of the sophomore prominence in the T.C.U. contest was delegated to linemen. Backs Jerry Bogue and Dick Rossman saw to that.
Bogue will likely be handling a sizeable share of the quarterbacking as the season advances, serving with Dick Gilman as a one-two passing punch that has possibilities.
Just as soon as T.C.U. took possession of the ball Rossman took the field at the defensive fullback spot back of the line. K.U. followers will doubtless see a lot of him there in 1949.
Two Lawrence huskies join Linnille as first-year winger. Each is tabbed as a potential fireball. They are Bill Schaake and Carl Sandefur. Both saw action Saturday. Sandefur may see even more since being shifted to an offensive post at tackle, one of Sikes' more recent strategy moves. He'll remain at end for defensive chores.
White wasn't alone in getting acquainted to a varsity guard assignment. Kent Thomas and George Kennard took part in the melee with the Horned Frogs. Thomas was a standout a year ago as a freshman under Replogle and is expected to improve greatly in games to come. Kennard's rise from the freshman squad has been gradual but steady and he rates as a strong prospect.
Kansas may be a dissappointment to its 1949 football followers. Only time will tell. But if this season's Crimson and Blue squad shows well, one thing is certain. Sophomore will have played a big role in those attainments.
'Stratton Story Director Dies
Hollywood, Sept. 22.-(U.F.)-Veteran screen director Sam Wood, 65. died today of a heart attack 40 minutes after he was admitted to Cedars of Lebanon hospital.
Wood recently directed actor Frank Morgan, who was found dead Sunday, in his last picture, "The Stratton Story." Wood's most recent film was "Ambush."
Dodgers Trample Cards 19 To 6 To Pull Within Half Game Of Lead
New York, Sept. 23—(U.P.)—Maybe this year there will be pennant playoffs in both big league races.
Today, as things became tenser than ever between the Yankees and Red Sox in the American and the Cardinals and Dodgers in the National, there were plenty of reasons to think there could be flat-footed ties both ways.
In 1946, the Cards and Dodgers made history by finishing in the first tie for the flag in all time and the Cards won the right to play in the World Series and won it by beating Brooklyn two straight in a best two out of three playoff. Last year, the Red Sox and Indians finished in the first tie in American League history and Cleveland went on to win the single playoff game and the World Series.
The parallel today in the National League is almost an exact one. On Sept. 23 in 1946 the Cards were in front and the Dodgers were in second by a half game.
Bryne's pitching arm is a question mark, Vic Raschi has been a hurling question mark for some time and Yogi Berra is still under par with a thumb sprain.
Last year at this time in the American League the Indians were tied for the lead with the Red Sox and the next day the Yankees muscled in to make it a three-way deadlock. But even though Cleveland pulled away in the waning days, it blew its margin at the finish and had to beat Boston before it could play in the Series.
Today, even though the Yankees are two games to the good over Boston, and three-up in the lost column, their situation is precarious indeed. Joe DiMaggio is definitely out of the weekend series in Boston, Tommy Henrich is still hurt, Tommy
Boston, riding high with 24-game winner Mel Parnell and 22-game winner Ellis Kinder ready to meet the Yankees twice apiece in the remaining five games that the clubs will play each other, also has two full days of rest before the series in Fenway park. The Yankees, rained out last night in Washington, will have to play a doubleheader today and the percentage is against a sweep, even when a first place club plays a last place one. Moreover, it doesn't help that in one of the games they must face Ray Scarborough, one of the best right handers in the league who beat them the last time he faced them and who has won 12 games. It also doesn't help that they looked like a bush league ball club in losing their last start here against the White Sox. 10 to 9.
Brooklyn, roaring back from a 1 to 0 defeat in the series opener at St. Louis to take subsequent 5 to 0 and 19 to 6 triumphs, found plenty of significance in the fact that it was the second straight time it had lost the opener of a Cardinal series, only
