Kansas Must Stop I-State To Remain On Top Of Big 7
Kansas faces one of its most important hurdles of the season Saturday when it invades Ames for its 28th football meeting with Iowa State.
Riding the momentum of their lop-sided wins over Denver and Colorado, the Jayhawkers must plow under Abe Stuber's clever Cyclones to be certain of remaining in at least a tie for first in the Big Seven stand.
A triumph over the Iowans would give the 1948 Orange Bowl participants a loop record of two victories against no defeats, Nebraska, ex-player in the second league victory at Boulder to secure the undermanned Colorado Buffaloes, already holds a 19-15 conquest of Iowa State.
Tomorrow's battle at Ames will bring together two of the most evenly matched clubs in the circuit. Although I-State doesn't boast a single 200-pounder in the starting line, it still will outweigh the lean-limbed Jayhawk forwards, 188 pounds a man to 185.3. KU's back will carry a 3.8 pound advantage, 178.8 to 175, bringing the starting eleven in with almost identical averages.
Elsewhere in the circuit, Oklahoma makes its annual all-out try to derail Texas in Dallas; Missouri entertains Southern Methodist at Columbia and Kansas State plays host to Arkansas State in Manhattan Saturday night.
Iowa State also will match Jayhawk speed which again is proving a defensive problem for the opposition. Webb Halbert, the Iowans' all-Big Seven halfback, can ramble in the same league with Frank Pattee and Bud French. He got two touchdowns against the Kansas State Wildcats on sprints of five and 15 yards.
KU's scouting report also tabbed Bob Angle, the Cyclones' 185-pound right half, as dangerous. This pair plus substitute Eddie Green ran the Cat ends all afternoon and presumably will try the same stunt against the Jayhawkers' midget wingmen.
Another lightning State threat is swarthy little Don Ferguson who last year led the conference in punt return yardage with 392 yards in 36 carries.
Like the Jayhawk line, the State forwards are fast. Abe Stuber will field three standouts in guard Joe Brubaker, center Rod Rust, and tackle Tom Southard. Left end Dean Laun has ranked second only to KU's Otto Schnellbacher in passing receiving through the last two seasons. It was he who got the Cyclones' lone marker last year against Kansas, going 63 yards with a pass in the final period.
Coach J, V. Sikes hopes his well-regarded backfield of Pattee, Forrest Giffith and French or Dick Bertuzzi, finally will break loose. None of this quartet has sprung for
Doak And Co Are Favored
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 8—(UP)—No-body on the University of Missouri team had pinned Doak Walker's clippings on the locker room wall today, but most of the Tigers were familiar with the Southern Methodist University star's record.
Walker has been billed as Missouri's No. 1 worry here tomorrow the same as he was when S.M.U. drubbed Missouri in Dallas last season, 35 to 19.
Coach Don Faurot's Missouri team could expect Walker to fire some passes, carry the ball on running plays, and get off whatever punts S.M.U. needs tomorrow.
Missouri remembered a 57-yard gain Walker reeled off last year after it appeared he was completely trapped. It took all Lloyd Brinkman had to elbow the "shy sophomore" out of bounds on the play.
In that game in the Cotton bowl. Walker ran back a punt 76 yards for one touchdown.
a long touchdown run in three games. Sikes was counting on such a ramble now and then.
Instead, the Hawkers have been deflating the opposition through the air, quarterback Dick Gilman connecting with three touchdown passes in both the Denver and Colorado games. After a sluggish first half, Kansas finally rumbled for 280 net yards aground against the Buffaloes, Iowa State gained a respectable '232 yards against K-State.
Iowa State got all its 20 points against the Wildcats in the first half and scored more tallies against Nebraska at Lincoln than either of the defending co-champions, Kansas or Oklahoma, were able to score on the same field last year. This indicates there may be a lot of numbers on the scoreboard Saturday.
Both clubs must get by this one to make much of a dent in the still young title chase. Kansas will be shooting at its tenth consecutive conference game without defeat and its third straight win over Iowa State. Kansas lead the all-time series, 13 to 10, with four ties.

Railroading into his baseball-mad city today, with each club holding a victory, it was up to a couple of ex-servicemen. For Manager Lou Boudreau of the Indians, his choice was Gene Bearden who has silver plates in his head and leg, and iron in his pitching heart.

For Manager Billy Southworth of the Braves it was Vern Bickford. The two guys have a lot in common. Both are 28 years old, both were in the service; both came through this season when the going was the toughest for their clubs.

In Bearden's case, he won the game—the first playoff in American league history—which put the Indians in the World Series. After only one day's rest he came up with just what was needed to turn back the Boston Red Sox.

Monroe-The Tishimingo Kid
Dick Monroe playing his second and final year at Mt. Oread, is rated by sports-writers as one of the best centers in the Big Seven conference. Dick transferred to K. U. from Oklahoma A. and M. in 1947.
Bickford, too, was in the Pacific. That is where he made his mark as a pitcher. He was playing with the Leyte all stars when Pitcher Kirby Highe, now of the Pittsburgh Pirates, spotted his potentialities. Higbe's recommendation brought him a job with Milwaukee, the Braves' American association farm club.
Dick started his career at Kansas under circumstances similar to those of Dick Gilman this year. The Jay-hawkers were left without a regular center when Howard Fischer was declared ineligible because of his scholastic standing. Monroe was
down in the Pacific, hit by a Japanese torpedo, and for 10 days he drifted in a life raft before he was rescued. Then it took plates on the right side of his head and in his right leg to bring him back to baseball.

shifted from blocking back to fill the hole in the line and has held the position since.
He first played college football at Oklahoma A. and M. where he was a back on the same team with the Aggies All-American Bob Fenimore. He transferred to the University in the spring of 1947 because he thought that he would like the Kansas institution.
Dick's home is Tishimingo, Okla. He is 27 years old, a veteran of four years in the Army Air Force, and is not married. A senior in physical Education, he hopes to become a football coach after his graduation from the University.
The rocket has brought more knowledge about the earth's upper atmosphere in the past year and a half then had been acquired in the previous 20 years.
As a high school athlete, he lettered four years in football and one year in basketball. He was named on the Oklahoma All-Star football team as a fullback in 1940. His basketball experience was limited to his senior year. He attended high school at Madill, Oklahoma.
