Kansas Downs I-State 20-7 To Remain On Top Of Big 7
The Jayhawkers came from behind for the second time in as many Big Seven starts this season to outlast the Iowa State Cyclones in a 20 to 7 tilt at Ames before about 13,500 chilled spectators Saturday.
The initial quarter was a thrill-packed period that kept the rooters for both teams on their feet most of the time. Fumbles and intercepted passes dominated the play of both squads as they found it difficult to hold the ball and a heavy breeze made it hard for the passers to judge distances. scrimmage to place the ball on the Iowa
A Kansas fumble on the following play gave the Cyclones the ball in Kansas territory and another opportunity to score. The stalwart Jay-hawker line held the Cyclones and Iowa lost the ball on downs. Kansas jubilation was short-lived. Two plays later the Cyclone right half Bob Angle intercepted a Cliff McDonald aerial. With seconds left to play in the half Gilman grabbed a Bill Weeks pass and lateraled to Forrest Griffith on the 25. A Gilman to Frank Pattete pass fell incomplete as the half ended.
In less than one minute of the opening whistle, the ball had been exchanged three times. Iowa States' Joe Brubaker kicked to the Kansas 12 where Bud French snagged the ball and returned it to the 20. On the first play from scrimmage Brubaker gobbled up a Kansas fumble on the 21 to put the Cyclones in scoring position. But Iowa State had bad luck too. The Cyclones 'ace back, Webb Halbert, let one slip through his fingers and end Bryan Sperry pounced on it for Kansas. After four attempts at the line Kansas was forced to punt.
Neither team was dominant the first half, leaving the field at intermission with the score knotted at 7-7. While fumbles were frequent in the opening period, intercepted passes had their day in the second stanza. Each team chalked up two interceptions. Don Ferguson made the first interception for Iowa State on the Iowa 38. Three plays later Jayhawker Dick Gilman snagged a Ferguson-Dean Laun aerial on the Kansas 39.
The second half was almost completely controlled by the Crimson and Blue. The Cyclones handled the ball only 22 times while the Jayhawkers were busy lugging and passing the pigskin 50 times. The visiting Kansans struck pay dirt twice while successfully holding the Cyclones.
Bud French furnished one of the most thrilling plays of the afternoon when he took an Iowa State punt on his own 33 and galloped 67 yards to the goal line. About six Kansas blockers formed an impregnable defense for the speedy back as the Cyclones were unable to lay a hand on him. But Waldorf and O'Sullivan were there too. The play was called back and Kansas was penalized 15 yards.
The Iowa State Cyclones drew first blood in the game as they marched 62 yards for the opening touchdown. Ferguson took Pattee's punt on his own 34 and moved to the 38 before he was brought down by a host of Kansas tacklers. Bill Chancey ripped off 9 yards and then repeated with a 16 yard end run to put the ball on the Kansas 37. Angle hit a stone wall in a line plunge. Ferguson let loose with a 23 yard pass to Angle. Chancey made 3 yards through the line. Angle added 4 more. Angle then swept around end to hang up the Cyclone score. Brubaker converted to put Iowa State in the lead 7-0.
Kansas started its drive for pay dirt in the waning minutes of the first period with Dick Bertuzzi breaking loose for 12 yards. Griffith and Pattee added 3 each. A Gilman pass fell incomplete and Iowa drew a 5-yard penalty. Bertuzzi then dashed around end for 14 yards. Pattee failed to gain. A Gilman to pass was broken up on the goal line by Griffith, who scored a 5-yard penalty for clipping. Gilmon heaved a 20-yard aerial to McDonald on the 15. Pattee moved to the 11 and Griffith went to the 10. Griffith then cut around right end untouched for the touchdown. Ken Sperry converted to deadlock the game 7 to 7.
In the third quarter the Kansans took the kickoff and did not relinquish the ball until they had scored. Pattee raced around his right end on the opening play from
scrimimage to place the ball on the Iowa State 40-yard line. Griffith then went off right tackle for 13 yards. French and Gilman each picked up 2. Pattee hit the line for 6, then he pushed through for another yard and a first down. French went around end for 6 yards. Pattee added 3 and Griffith 2. Pattee was stopped. Gilman missed a pass and Griffith lost 3. With a fourth and goal on the 8, Gilman hit Griffith for the t.d. Ken Sperry's conversion was wide, but Kansas was in front 13 to 7.
Kansas' final score came 40 seconds after the opening of the fourth period. The drive started on the Jayhawker's 21. In the spectacular drive, the Crimson and Blue eleven threw everything in the books at the Cyclones.
Bertuzzi went off tackle for 9 yards. Pattee did the same for 5 and 3 yard gains. Gilman connected with Bryan Sperry for 21 yards. Griffith hit a stone wall. Gilman again connected with Sperry for 9 yards and Pattee hit the line for a yard and a first down. Pattee went through the center of the line for 4 yards. Bertuzzi made 2 and Griffith went wide for 7 more as Bertuzzi followed with a 5-yard gain. On the next play. Bertuzzi was caught 3 yards behind scrimmage, but with the ball resting on the 16, Gilman sucked the Cyclones to the right side of the line as he let loose an aerial to the left coffin corner where Griffith and Bertuzzi stood alone. Griffith pulled in the ball for the score. Ken Sperry converted to put Kansas ahead 20-7 and end the scoring.
Iowa State took the kick, but were thrown back 8 yards in three plays and were forced to punt. French then made his dazzling run only to have it nullified.
As the clock ticked off the closing minutes, K.U. was again threatening, but a series of penalties cost the Kansans the ball on downs on the Iowa 15. Weeks then completed a 41-yard pass to Doran, but Weeks was unable to get away on the following play as the game ended.
In the pre-game ceremonies the Iowa State band marched onto the field in the formation of a square. The band then formed a perfect circle. From the circular formation it went into the shape of a huge star and played the National Anthem. The members then spelled "HI" on each side of the field.
Between the halves the Cyclone band went through a few formations before forming a gigantic four-leaf clover. The Iowa State wrestling coach led the ceremonies in paying homage to Glen Brand, Olympic wrestling champion and one of Iowa State's greatest athletes. Brand has won 47 bouts while losing only three. His current winning streak has reached 28. The Yellow Jax, the Iowa State pep club, spelled out "Glen" in yellow letters on a red background.

Braves Do Or Die Today
Aboard World Series Special, Enroute to Boston, Oct. 11—(UP)—Given a new lease on life when they went out and beat one of the greatest pitchers in baseball, the Boston Braves tried to even the World Series today in their own ball park.
Manager Billy Southworth, who won one of the biggest gambles in the classic's history yesterday, dug down deep in his mound corps in giving the rod to Bill Voiselle. Like yesterday when he started the aging Nelson Potter, he was making a desperation move. For trailing the Cleveland Indians three games to two, another defeat would finish them off.
For the front running Indians, it will be their 20-game winning right hander, Bob Lemon, who hurled Cleveland to a 4 to 1 triumph in the second game.
It will be Voisele's second series appearance. He went to the relief of Spahn in that second contest and yielded only one hit in 3-2-3 innings. That chore earned him today's starting assignment.
One of the big guns during the early part of the season. Voiselle faded badly and during the final month was used so sparingly that it didn't look like he ever would get out of the doghouse.

Gridiron Ruled By Many Upsets Over Weekend
Big Seven football teams became the talk of the nation Saturday as four of the seven teams pulled upets. Three of them against strong intersectional foes.
Kansas State leads the list as the young Wildcats snapped a 28-game losing streak by defeating Arkansas State, 37 to 6. The losing streak over a period of three years set a record for college teams.
Oklahoma gave Texas its second set-back of the season in one of the biggest upsets of the day. The Sooners obtained their first victory over the Texans for the first time in nine years as they soared to a 20 to 14 triumph. Oklahoma went into the game a two-touchdown underdog.
Throughout the nation other underdog teams did the unexpected. Michigan gave the Purdue Boilermakers a thorough working-over as they pounded them 40 to 0. The game was rated as a toss-up. It was the Boilermakers third straight defeat while the Wolverines stretched their winning streak to 17. The Michigan victory almost erased all title hopes of the dispirited Purdue eleven.
Missouri set back the highly favored S. M. U. Mustangs, 20 to 14, before a record crowd in Columbia. The Tigers, extremely weak in passing, completely ran over and around the Mustangs in handing them their greatest jolt since underdog Texas Christian tied them last year and almost cost them the Southwest conference title. S.M.U. went into the contest a two-touchdown favorite.
In the other Big Seven upset, Colorado, who folded before the onslaught of the Jayhawkers 40-7 the week previous, put a nick in any conference title hopes that Nebraska harbored by smearing the Cornhuskers 19 to 6 at Boulder. It was the Buffs first victory on the gridiron in Big Seven conference play.
Texas Christian surprised thousands of fans by turning back Indiana 7 to 6 in one of the nations most thrilling contests. The Horned Frogs scored with less than two minutes to play remaining. Credit for the victory goes to the Frogs

Dennis, a pledge of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, also holds the State American Legion golf cup for last year. Before entering the University of Kansas this fall, he attended Independence Junior college for two years.
The Ohio State Buckeyes received a serious blow in the Big Nine conference as Iowa ended its victory drought by drowning it in a 14 to 7 victory. It was Iowa's first victory over the Buckeyes in the Ohio State stadium since 1928. Jerry Faske paced the Iowans in both of their touchdowns.
The Northwestern Wildcats kept a perfect season intact Saturday by stemming a Minnesota tide 19 to 16. The Wildcats fell behind the Gophers by 16 points, but they retained their spirit and surged ahead to outlast the Gophers in the top contest of the day.
Other surprises came as George Washington, whom Kansas plays Friday, upset the Virginia Colonials 20 to 12.
