UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY,OCTOBER 17,1947
By JIM RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
***
Comparing the Oklahoma backfield with the Jayhawk leads us to believe that the 13 points the bookies have spotted Kansas are too many. However, Oklahoma probably deserves to be favored because the Sooners have played tougher competition, and they have looked good in all their games.
Just who Oklahoma will start in the backfield is hard to tell. Against Texas they started Jack Mitchell, an Arkansas City boy, at quarterback; Sarratt at right half; Thomas, right half; and Kreick, fullback. Coach Wilkinson has said that he may start Darrrell Royal and Ed Davis, both of whom are of some fancy ball carrying.
Nation-wide statistics show that Mitchell now stands number nine in national ranking of total rushing. He has battered his way for 449 yards in 59 carries in three games.

There have been 750 or more tickets sold to students who are going to Norman for the game. If more tickets had been available they probably would have found many eager takers.
The Saturday Evening Post jinx continues. Last week the Post ran a story on the rising football fortunes of Princeton university. Last week-end that school was upset by Rutgers in one of the nation's major football reverses.
---
Kansas University had the Post jinx once. That was in 1940. The Jayhawks were finalists in the N. C. A. A. basketball championship. Howard Engleman was the Kansas star and "Rope" and "Phog" received a big spread in the magazine. The same week that the Jayhawks lost its game with Indiana for the national championship, as the N. C. A. A. title was considered at that time.

Kansas will have a decided edge in passing and punting. There is no Oklahoman who can throw a pass with the accuracy of Evans or Hogan. They don't have the punters to out-distance the kicking prowess of Scott, Pattee, or Hogan.
. . .
As ground gainers the Sooners have the nod over Kansas. They have not found the line to stop their hard driving backs, and they have met some sturdy lines this season. The recent showings of Pattee and Griffith means that Kansas does not have to pass if it wants yardage. With our two greatly improved fullbacks and the break-away running of Evans and Scott, the Kansas ground attack won't be denied a chance to cross the double stripe.
