Jayhawks Brutally Outclass Highly Rated Denver Team
Striking for three touchdowns through the air, two by land, and another on a blocked punt, a Kansas team which definitely looked like co-champions pitifully outclassed a highly rated Denver eleven, 40' to 0 Friday in the Mile High city.
The Jayhawkers went into the game expecting the fight of heir lives against the "best team in '
The Jayhawkers went into their lives against the "best team in Denver history," but instead put on a display of football precision which left a record night-game crowd of 25,070 stunned and disgusted.
Kansas rolled up a net of 179 yards rushing and 104 yards through the air while the vicious tackling, hard-charging forwards were holding the weightier Fioneer line to 9 yards net rushing. The Denver passing attack was more effective than their ground game. They completed 12 out of 20 passes, most of which were short bullet passes to a flanker cutting across the center of the line, or behind the line flips.
Dick Gilman, in his second game as quarterback, sparked his mates with his fine signal calling and timely passing. In connecting with 5 out of 8 passes, he directly accounted for three touchdowns.
Dave Schmidt scored on a blocked punt. Frank Patee and Cliff Mac-Donald powered their way across on the ground for the other Kansas counters. Bryan Sperry kicked 4 out of 5 points after touchdown.
The way the game began, it looked as if the seven points the experts were spotting Kansas were too many. After Bud French carried the opening kickoff from the 5 to the Kansas 24, the D.U. line lived up to advance notice, allowing the Jayhawkers 1 yard in two plays. Patee got off a 58 yard punt on third down to the Denver 17.
On their first play from scrimmage, the Pioneers threw a scare into Kansas fans as Bill Fitchie, speedy Denver left half, went around his right end for 42 yards to the Kansas 41. The Pioneers tried the same play again only to have Schmidt toss the runner for a 2-yard loss. That was the last time the Denver team gained around their flankes. After 3 plays netted less than a yard, Vern Cochran DU, quarterback, punt out on the Kansas 5-yard line. This opening flurry marked one of the two times the Pioneers were in Kansas territory.
The other time came against third

and fourth stringers in the fourth quarter when 4 consecutive pass completions by Louis Rillos advanced the ball to the Kansas 15 yard stripe. Duke Burt, Kansas guard, proceeded to throw Rillos for 9 yards before Lyn Smith, sophomore end, recovered Howard Benham's fumble to end the threat.
Big Laugh Hit
The Jayhawkers started clicking with about $5\frac{1}{2}$ minutes gone in the first quarter. Ken Sperry tossed Rillos for an 8-yard loss causing him to fumble. Kansas took over on their own 47. Forrest Griffith and Patee moved to the Denver 39-in three running plays. Then Gilman faded back and heaved his first touchdown pass to Bryan Sperry.

Griffith failed to convert. Jay-hawker followers who couldn't know the rout that was to follow had visions of a repetition of the T.C.U. heartbreaker. Coach Sikes must have had the same thought for Ken Sperry booted the remaining points after touchdown.
The second K.U. drive began in the second quarter from the Kansas 36. Gilman passed for all but 4 yards of the distance to the goal. He hit Bryan Sperry for 17 yards. John Amberg caught one over center for 8 yards. With the count third down and 7 yards to go on the D.U. 31, he drifted back and tossed a pass to Charley Moffett who made a pretty catch on the two yard line with D.U. players on both sides. Sperry converted to make the count 13 to 0 with $9 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes left in the first half.
After a Kansas clipping penalty cut short a Jayhawk drive on the Denver 20, Patee angled the ball out on the 3-yard line. Denver kicked out on the first play to their 40. French returned it 8 yards to the 32. Patee in 4 smashes accounted for all but three yards of the distance to the third Kansas touchdown. Sperry
missed the placekick, leaving the count 19-0 at the half.
All doubts as to whether the first half was a fluke or that the altitude and weight of the Denver team would tell in the second half were dispelled when Schmidt, with two minutes gone in the third quarter, blocked Cochran's punt on the D.U. 35, picked up the ball and sprinted over the goal line untouched. Sperry's kick was good. 26-0.
On the second play of the fourth quarter Gilman drifted to the Denver 30 and hit Henry Lamping, Kansas sophomore left half, in the end zone. Sperry converted, 33-0, with 14½ minutes to go.
K. U. gained possession of the ball for their last touchdown drive when Lyn Smith smothered Cochran who had gotten a high pass from center and couldn't get a punt off. This was Smith's second fumble recovery in the fourth quarter.
Cliff MacDonald scampered 18 yards around his right end to the Denver 12. Burt Duke threw a key block on the play. Two plays later, MacDonald went over left guard from the 9-yard line for the final score with 8 minutes left to play.
Feeling got a little bitter late in the fourth quarter. Floyd Temple, Kansas sophomore fullback, squared off with Andy Pavich, star Denver fullback. Both players were ejected. That was the closest the Denver boys came to a draw.
