Gilman, Sperry Rank High In Pass Offense
Quarterback Dick Gilman and right end Bryan Sperry continue to rank among the nation's individual offensive leaders, and the stubborn Kansas defense has moved up to ninth place in the nation, according to figures compiled by the National collegiate athletic bureau.
Gilman ranks 18th in total offense with 416 yards on 66 plays in four games. The tall Jayhawker passer is 20th among the nation's passers with 403 yards on 22 completions in 50 attempts. The players are ranked on number of completions. In total yards gained, Gilman is eighth, and his total of eight touchdown passes is equalled only by Walthall of West Virginia.
Bryan Sperry, Gilman's favorite target, is seventh in pass receiving, having caught 13 for 186 yards. The rankings are based on the number caught. In yardage gained, the squat battler is second only to Powell of Tennessee.
The Jayhawkers continue to rank high in team defense, a position they also earned in '47. Kansas is ninth in total defense, yielding 636 yards on 204 plays for an average of 159 yards a game. The light but fast Kansas line has given up only 81.5 yards a game, good for twelfth nationally.
If they are to stop George Washington Friday night, Coach Sikes' club may have to stop Andy Davis, talented tailback for the Colonials. Davis ranks ninth in total offense with 509 yards and twelfth in passing with 378 yards in four games.
Kansas is tied for fifth place with Nevada in total points scored with 113. Wyoming is leading the field with 149 points in three games.
The powerful Oklahoma Sooners are the only other Big Seven club to place among the leaders in team play. The Sooners are fifth in rushing defense at 294.7 yards a game and eighth in total offense with 376.3.
Oklahoma's fleet-footed George Thomas and Nebraska's Gerald Ferguson were the other Big Seven players to place in the rankings, which include only the top fifteen. Thomas has piled up 336 yards in 45 carries to rank eighth in rushing. Ferguson's 41.7 punting average on 16 punts carns him 12th position among the punters.

Pattee-KU's Triple Threat
PATTEE
Frank Pattie,
K.U.'s speedy left halfback, is well on his way for his fourth letter as a member of the Jayhawker grid machine. Pattie, playing his last year on Mt. Orread, won varsity letters in 1945, 1946 and 1947.
Frank first came to Kansas in the fall of 1942, but he was forced to leave the University at the end of the semester to go into the service. He spent over two years in the U.S. Naval Air Corps before returning again to the University in the fall of 1945.
Pattie, whose home is in Smith Center, received nine letters as a high school athlete. He lettered three years each in basketball, football and track. At K.U. his athletic career has been limited to his four years on the varsity football team.
As a regular on the 1947 Jayhawkers championship eleven, he was the number one punter. He is again bearing the burden of the
punting chores this season. The past season he kicked 28 times in 10 games for a total of 966 yards. No opponent was able to block a Pattee punt last year.
In rushing last year Pattee carried the ball 89 times for 429 yards while losing only 38 yards for a gain of 391 yards. He returned two intercepted passes 21 yards. He crossed the goal line six times to win a fourth place tie in the Big Six scoring spree. He was tied with Evans in second place as high score on the Jayhawker team.
Pattee ranked in ninth place among the leading ball carriers and eighth among the leading punters of the conference.
"I came to the University to get an education and not to be an athlete," Frank said. "At the time I first came here, there was not much future for an athlete here."
Frank is a senior in the School of Business and is majoring in industrial management. His plans after graduation are not complete. He is married and has one child.
