UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1947
By COOPER ROLLOW
Daily Kansan Sports Reporter First of the numerous All-American teams featured published Oscar Fratley's selections have appeared with Kansas' Ray Evans occupying a backfield slot on the second squad.
Despite the inexcusable lack of interest shown by eastern sports writers toward Big Six teams, Evans' play was so outstanding that his placement on the All-American roster was a must.
Evans is in good company on the list of college standouts. Other second team backs chosen by Fraley were Moss of Illinois, Layne of Texas, and Minisi of Penn.
Selecting backs for the all-star squads poses quite a problem, since most teams these days use a different set of backs on offense and defense. Nevertheless, the Fraley- chosen second teamers don't look too far behind the first squad selections.
***
In the number one backfield we find Gilmer of Alabama, Walker of Southern Methodist, Lujack of Notre Dame, and Chappuis of Michigan. The first three are triple-threat backs, while Chapuis is used primarily on offense.
Chappuis, who has sparked the Wolverines to their best season in years, gained 643 yards while completing 19 out of 29 passes for five touchdowns in his first five games.
Gilmer presumably made the grade because of his much-publicized passing arm, although the Alabama sensation is no slouch at running. Walker, noted for his shifty change-of pace and bruising defensive play, might not have made the first team had SMU not beaten highly regarded Texas last weekend.
And then there's Lujack. Since he stepped into the quarterback slot vacated by Angelo Bertelli in 1943, Lujack has needed no introduction anywhere. For Lujack shines in everything he does. Frank Leahy calls him the answer to a coach's prayer for a perfect field general.

Except for a couple of ties, the Kansas Jayhawkers have a clean slate so far this season. But they'll be keeping their fingers crossed Saturday, for a loss to the Cornhusker would serve the double purpose of eliminating Kansas from the Big Six title race and dropping it from the list of potential bowl performers.
Coach George Sauer has pronounced the Jayhawkers in their best condition since the start of the season. The team emerged from the gruelling Kansas State battle with only minor injuries. Halfback Dick Bertuzzi and Guard Joe Crawford will return for action against Nebraska after an absence of several weekends.
The Jayhawkers are 19-point favorites over their Nebraska opponents, according to the boys who dish out the odds here in Lawrence.
But it's a different story in Lincoln. Rumor has it that in Cornhusker town, Kansas is a 10-point underdog. Which is just another way of saying that Nebraskans consider this the Cornhusker game of the season.
The Cornhuskers haven't lost to Kansas at Lincoln since 1916, and—odds or no odds—they don't intend to let the Saturday game prove any exception. Coach Bernie Masterson has made two changes in his starting lineup, in an attempt to find a combination which can romp over the chalklines in the manner of past Cornhusker teams.
Halfback Jim Myers and Guard Gerald Jacupke were shifted to the starting eleven Monday to relieve Dick Hutton and Gene Wilkins, as Masterson began to patch up his squad after its massacre at the hands of Missouri last weekend.
