Jayhawks Set Crowd Records
Coach J. V. Sikes' first Kansas football team, winners in seven out of ten games, broke eight Jayhawk attendance records during the 1948 season. Athletic Director E. C. Quigley, disclosed today.
The Kansans, who finished third in the first year of Big Seven football, snapped both their home and seasonal aggregate crowd marks in addition to helping hang up six individual game standards.
The closing crowd of 32,000 Thanksgiving Day against Missouri in Columbia lifted KU's overall attendance to 247,300, or roughly 10,000 more than the record of 263,767 set last year by the unbeaten Orange bowl crew during its regular 10-game season. The 32,000 throng at Columbia is a new record for the Tiger park.
In five home engagements the Jayhawkers packed in 145,000, or 31,800 more than last year. For the first time in history Memorial stadium was sold out for two games in a single season. Those being the Nebraska and Oklahoma games.
The 36,500 which paid to see the Cornhusker battle was the largest crowd ever to watch a KU-NU game in Lawrence. The 39,000 viewing the championship fray with Oklahoma was the largest to see the two clubs play anywhere in their 46 football meetings. This topped a mark of just under 35,000 at the Jayhawks and Sooners 13-13 tie game in Norman, in 1947.
Kansas State and K.U. established an all-time high for a Manhattan football game when they drew 18,000 at Alhearn field.
The crowd of 26.000 which attended the Texas Christian opener here represents the biggest gate for the two teams in their six game series.
Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. attracted 22,500 here, the largest crowd to see the two elevens mix in Lawrence.
