UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, SEPT 21, 1949
Before leaving last Saturday's game for the records, I'd like to mention the pass defense playing of halftack Cliff McDonald—it looked especially good. His split second knockdown of one pass reminded one of the tricks of Ray Evans. If McDonald is ready to go on both defense and offense Saturday, he will prove a definite boost to the Jayhawks. Cliff is one of the stiffest and fastest runners on the team. Once past the line—brother beware.
The Jayhawks will run into an up and coming Colorado Buffalo eleven Saturday in Boulder.
The Buffaloes will field a team which will have a year's varsity experience behind it.
There are 23 lettermen spread throughout the squad, with the only weak spots being at tackle and guard. Coach Dallas Ward, however, is depending on some rugged sophomores to fill this bill.
However, Coach Ward still has his crying towel out and in use. He says the outlook is not bright because these same squad mates won only three games last season. He then asks the question: Does experience tell? And then says: "If it does and there is enough of it, Colorado should have a good year on the gridiron—although (towel again) there's a definite lack of weight plus etc. etc."
The Jayhawks will have the advantages of having played their opening game and, we hope, lost the jitters which cause fumbles. On the other hand, coach Jules Sikes will not have any reports on how the year's Buffalo squad will operate.
Coach Ward has already announced his starting lineup for Saturday. The lineup only has two sophomores. His starters are all light, however; they are the fastest men on the squad.
Last season, Coach Ward indicated that he would like to use the two-platoon system. So far, however, he hasn't been able to develop the manpower for this.
Here's how he called them to start: L.E. Fred Johnson, 180; L.T. Frank Krone, 189; L.G. Doug Nelson, 198; C. Calanzaro, 190; R.G. John Brynestad, 186; R.T. Pete Thompson, 195; R.E. Ed Pudlik, 185; Q.B. Winningham, 175; L.H. Harry Narcissic, 172; R.H. Malcolm Miller, 167; F.B. Don Hagin, 174.
Catanzaro and Brynstead are the two sophomores. Catanzaro, one of the brightest sophomore prospects on the squad, was voted the most valuable player on the Chicago parochial all-star squad in 1948. Brynstad was shifted from quarterback to guard in an effort to gain more speed for the running guard position. He is the fastest guard on the squad.
At the ends the Buffaloes are very strong. Pudlik, All-Conference, will lead the team in this department. The team has two leaders, the finest linemen on the Buff squad.
In the backfield it will be an old story, with warhorses Winningham, Narcisian, Miller and Hagin carrying the ball. This backfield is the one which clicked best for Colorado last season — also the one which made a game of last year's K.U. tilt before Dick Gilman and crew struck. The backfield is light but fast. Narcisian and Winningham will do the passing with Narcisian, Miller and Hagin doing the running. Narcisian, the triple-thater of the crew, will do the punting.
This year the Buffs will concentrate on smothering the Jayhawkers' aerials, and trying for some scores themselves. However, the odds are heavily on the side of the Kansas Jayhawkers.
