The Kansas Jayhawkers turned on the power after a slow start to crush the Colorado Buffalos 40-7 before 21,000 persons who watched the Buffers in their gridiron debut in the Big Seven conference Saturday.
The Buffs threw fear into Kansas followers early in the initial period when they took possession of the ball on their own 20-yard line following a Kansas punt and marched $80^{\textcircled{2}}$
The Bulls threw possession of the bal a Kansas punt and marched 800 yards for the opening touchdown. The Colorado backfield ripped through and around the ends of the Jayhawk line for three first downs before striking paydirt.
Colorado amassed all but 28 of its 113 net yards in the opening quarter. After the Jayhawkers threw off their lethargy, they had little trouble in garnering 411 net- yards on the ground and through the air.
Dick Gilman was again hitting his receivers as the first string broke the Buff's spirit by striking through the air. Coach Sike's second-string backfield took over behind perfect blocking to help run over the Boulder eleven on the ground. Forrest Griffith hit his 1947 stride as he consistently tore through the Colorado line for substantial gains.
Malcolm Miller, who scored the only Buff touchdown, was the big gun in the Colorado attack. Harry Narcissian was close behind Miller in plugging his team.
The opening of the battle found the Colorado team unable to penetrate the Kansas line. They were forced to punt following three attempts at center. Kansas took possession on their own 18 after receiving a clipping penalty. They marched to the Colorado 34 before being forced to try a coffin corner punt. The Buffs then started their only successful drive of the afternoon. Don Hagin pushed to the 22. Miller eluded Kansas tacklers to pick up 27 yards and the first Buff first down. Narcissian netted two more.
The Kansas fireworks did not begin until late in the second period when the Jayhawks caught fire and racked up three quick touchdowns.
Then came Colorado's big play of the day as Narcissus passed to Edward Pudlik, who upon being swamped by a host of Kansas tacklers, handed off a lateral to Zisch for a 29-yard gain. Narcissus gained 4 yards and a Narcissus to Zisch pass fell incomplete. Miller chalked up 12 yards and a first down on the Kansas 4. The Jayhawkers held for three downs, but Miller finally went over from the 3 on a reverse. Zisch kicked the extra point.
Kansas first scoring drive started when John Amberg cut through the line for 11 yards to the Kansas 41. Frank Patttee went for 2 and then Amberg rambled for 14 more and another first down. Patttee picked up 18 more yards in three trips. Amberg moved from the 25 to the 23. On the next play, Kansas drew a 15 yard penalty on a personal foul. Gilman was thrown for an 11-yard loss when he could not find a receiver. Then Gilman heaved one from the 37 to French on the 15. The fleet-footed halfback raced across for the first Kansas score. Ken Sperry failed to convert and Kansas trailed 6-7.
The Colorado squad unable to dent the Kansas forward wall aftertaking the kickoff, had to punt to set up the next Jawyer drive. Pattee drifted back on the 45 to connect with Bryan Sperry for 12 yards. Gilman cut loose with another 10-yard pass to Byran Sperry. Griffith made 3 yards. French was thrown for 4 yards. Gilman then climaxed the drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Griffith. Ken Sperry split the up-rights to put Kansas in front 13 to 7.
On the first play after the kickoff Darrell Norris intercepted a Cook to Ferrifer lateral on the Colorado 28. A Pattie to Griffith pass was broken up by Cook. Gilman then received the third Kansas score. Ken Sperry hung up the extra point as the half ended with Kansas in front 20 to 7
The skyhawkers took the kickoff to start the third period and never relinquished the ball until they had
marched 69 yards for the fourth Kansas score. Pattee slashed across for the touchdown climaxing the versatile Kansas drive. Ken Sperry converted and K.U. was ahead 27 to 7.
Following the next kickoff Colorado moved to a first down in three plays, but the Kansans gained possession of the ball as McCormack fell on a Buff fumble. With a first down on the Colorado 27, French charged to the 13. Bertuzzi then streaked to paydirt for the fifth six-spinner. Kansas drew a 15-yard penalty on the first extra point try. Ken Sperry failed to convert on his second attempt, leaving the score at 33 to 7.
Thrills were still in store for the fans. McDonald took a Colorado punt on his own 36 and raced to the Buff 15 before the Mountain Boys were able to pull him down. Floyd Temple broke loose and crossed the goal only to have the play nullified by a 15-yard Kansas penalty. Lamping went for 12 yards, but again a 15-yield penalty moved the Jayhawkers back.
The opening of the final period found the Jayhawkers again knocking on the Colorado goal. With a first and goal on the 1-yard line, the Kansas were unable to penetrate the tightened Buff defense and lost the ball on Downs on the 1-foot line. Robert Manire booted to the Colorado 26. Amberg hit for 9 and Cliff McDonald added 5 more. Amberg drove for 3 and Lampeng went 4 yards to the Boulder 5. Amberg cracked over for the final touchdown. Ken Sperry converted to end the scoring 40 to 7.
The final gun sounded with the Jayhawkers trying desperately to squeeze in another play as the ball rallied the Colorado 2-yard line. Scoring:
Touchdowns: Colorado, Miller; Kansas: French, Griffith, Darril Norris, Pattee, Bertuzzi, and Amberg. Conversions: Colorado — Zisch;
Kansas—Sperry, 4.

Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, said today that seven women have passed the requirements to become pledges of the Quack club. Tryouts were held Saturday in the Robinson gymnasium pool.
Another tryout will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Robinson gymnasium pool. To pass the test, the women must be able to use the back stroke, side stroke, and crawl, and be able to tread, and float. They must be able to demonstrate a surface dive, standing and running front dives, and the back or front jack-knife dive.
Seven Women Pass Quack Club Tests
Those who passed the test are Allene Wenke, Nancy Cole, Rita Carl, Nancy Van Bibber, Barbara Ramsey, Betty Shartell and Helen茎彼uh.
Pears were originally brought from the East by the Romans.
Boston. Oct. 4—(UP)—Fenway Park became the battlefield for the first pennant playoff in American legue history today with the Boston Red Sox facing the Cleveland Indians for the right to meet the Boston Braves in the 1948 World Series. It all added up to quite a baseball picture.
A.L. Playoff For Pennant
Here were the Red Sox, who were counted out of the pennant race only a few days ago, still in the running—a day after the official race for the pennant was over.
Meeting them were the Indians, a club which once again ran into Detroit Tiger trouble.
Kendallville, Ind.—(UP) —Flying fish are never seen here but a truck loaded with 15,000 pounds of smelt gave local residents an idea of what it must be like to see鱼 sail shaft through the air. The truck overturned on a sharp curve and there were fish all over the landscape.
Non-Flying Fish Take Off
As Truck Misses Curve
Only yesterday—up until 2:15 in the afternoon, that is—it looked like Cleveland. Lou Boudreau's team was a game ahead with only one game to go.
The Tribe chieftenal called on his Sunday best, Bobby Feller, to turn back the Tigers and win the pennant, but the fireball farm boy wasn't equal to the task. Instead, the Tigers turned on him at the same time the Red Sox were turning on the Yankees—it was the third inning in each game—so the playoff resulted.
Neither Boudreau nor Manager Joe McCarthy of the Red Sox was willing to name the starting pitches for today's crusial game.
The game will be broadcast this afternoon starting at 12:30 from KCLO and KFEQ
Kansas subs Floyd Temple (43), Charles Hawkins (37), and Arnold Stricker (38), are about to smear Dick Brennman, Colorado right half, deep in his own territory in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game.
