Meet The 1948 Jayhawkers
Griffith-All-Loop Fullback
Forrest Griffith,
All - Big Seven
fullback, was not
unacquainted with
All - star ratings
before entering
the University of
Kansas. As a high
school athlete, the
line-slashing back
had racked up
three All - conference
football laurels at Lee's Summit as well as remit as well as receiving similar
GRIFFITH
honors in his senior year in both basketball and track.
The youthful Jayhawk athlete, who was the center of much controversy between Kansas and Missouri in 1946, earned twelve letters while playing under high school
Kansas In Long Pass Drill; Buffalos Study New Plays
All eyes were up Wednesday afternoon as Coach J. V. Sikes ran the Jayhawker gridders through an intensive passing drill. Both defensive and offensive tactics of the aerial game were stressed in preparation for Saturday's Big Seven opener with the Colorado Buffalos.
Backs and ends of the freshman squad ran pass plays from a single
ing in a skeleton workout against the varsity secondary. Later both crews were joined by their mates and the regulars fired aerials at the first-year men in a concentrated scrimage.
The aggressive play of two freshman lines was one of the highlights of the practice. The apprentice forwards kept the highly-rated varsity vanguard on the spot with a spirited defense.
Coach Sikes concluded the drill with a short intra varsity scrimmage.
He is 20 years old and a junior in the School of Business. He is undetermined as to his future and has not as yet decided what phase of business he will enter after he has graduated. Forrest is a non-veteran and is not married.
Several plays that proved ineffective against New Mexico last week were discarded by Coach Dallas Ward today as he installed several new maneuvers for Saturday's game with the Jayhawks. Faulty timing and careless blocking continued to mar the play of the Buffs as they prepared for the eighth meeting with Kansas since 1908, according to word from the Boulder camp.
Since he has been on Mt. Oread, he has received one letter as a freshman on the track team in the low hurdles and the broad jump, and he has chalked up two letters as a member of the Crimson and Blue football squad. In 1947 he was almost an unanimous choice on the All-Big Six team.

Patty Berg Downs Smith
Marilyn Smith, College sophomore, carded a 41 in a 9-hole exhibition match with Patty Berg, professional woman golfer, Wednesday at the Blue Hills course in Kansas City, Mo. Miss Berg had a par 38.
Miss Smith, three-year Kansas state women's golf champion, shot a fine game on the par 38 course despite the fact that she used a new set of woods for the first time. A recovery shot on the tenth and an approach to the fifteenth were probably her outstanding shots.
Miss Berg held a clinic for the 300 spectators at the end of the match.
Dr. Robert Jordan Leaves To Study At Mayo Clinic
Dr. M. E. Gross, who has been on the health service staff since September 1947, will succeed Dr. Jordan as team physician.
Dr. Robert A. Jordan, member of the University health service staff since January 1947, left Wednesday for Rochester, Minn., to begin three years of post-graduate work at the Mayo clinic.
One-third of the original nineinch layer of topsoil which covered the United States has washed or blown away, according to American Magazine.
