KU Crushes SDS 86 To 6 In Saturday's Dull Workout
The Kansas Jayhawkers unleashed an array of football dynamite Saturday which exploded for thirteen touchdowns and eight extra points and thoroughly pulverized a weak South Dakota State team.
all-time Kansas scoring record was Washington University of St. Louis 83 to 0. Saturday's victory topped the mark by 3 points and established a new record.
When the smoke had cleared, the Jayhawkers had won 86-6 and an all-time Kansas scoring record was broken. In 1923 Kansas trounced Washington University of St. Louis $ \textcircled{4} $
A crowd of 14,000 persons watched George Sauer's second team slam bang their way to three touchdowns in the first quarter, and when the first team later made a belated appearance, the probability of a massacre became apparent.
Jayhawker Machine Rolls
Kansas showed no mercy on its underdog opponent. The Jayhawkers were a well-oiled machine, and with them the game was stricty business. Sauer threw 45 players at the Jackrabbits, and there was little distinction between first and fourth teamers.
The Jayhawkers collected an amazing total of 717 yards. This included 307 gained by rushing, 291 earned aerial route, and 179 on punt returns.
Playing with their backs to the wall for three quarters, the Jackrabbits finally managed to score in the last period. With the crowd cheering for an underdog touch-down, Bud Melchior connected with Beverly Craig all alone in the end zone for the lone South Dakota score, when the Kansas safety missed his assignment.
Evans In True Light
All-American Ray Evans turned in a sparkling performance during the short time he was in the game. He carried the ball from scrimmage only two times, but threw two passes, both complete, for sixty-three yards and ran back one punt all the way to the promised land.
-Little Bill Fisher quickly caught the crowd's fancy. The 120-pound back said his first varsity competition shirtning in an average performance.
The Kansas scoring, just for kicks:
The Jackrabbit slaughter convinced fans that Kansas has a wealth of backfield material. Nineteen Jayhawker backs entered the fray, and all did justice to themselves. Kansas fielded almost four complete forward walls, and by the end of the third quarter, the visitors from the north were beginning to show the strain.
1. Kansas started on their 36 and steamrollered over the goal line in eleven plays. French, Scott, Griffith, and Hogan took turns tantalizing the Jackrabbit defense, and Griffith lunged through center for the score.
2. South Dakota's Bartling punted out on the Kansas 31. On the next play, Bud French sweep around left end, picked up his interference, and weaved 69 vards to pay dirt.
3. Hogan, Scott, Griffith, and French rammed to the South Dakota 45. Hogan passed 29 yards to Sperry in the third quarter; the dead run for TD number three.
4. Hugh Johnson blocked Don Volk's punt on the South Dakota 30 Otto Schlenbacher scooped it under a zone. Great Run By Evans
5. Evans and Bertuzzi carried to the 1-foot line, but a fumble gave the ball to the Jackrabbits. Volk punted, Evans grabbed on the Dakota 40 and exhibited a fine bit of change-of-pace running to go all the way.
6. Lymne McNutt intercepted a South Dakota pass on the enemy 39 and then heaved 25 yards to Marvin Moffett. Moffett piled over from the four.
7. Frank Pattee skirted right end for a touchdown after Kansas had barreled its way from the Jackrabbit 42 in five plays.
8. Volk punted out on his own 39.
On the next play, Evans faded back,
faked a couple of times, then bulleted an aerial to Small for another score.
Hogan To Scott For No. 9
9. K.U. took over on the South Dakota 49 after the visitors had been forced to punt. On the next play, Hogan hit Scott on the 30, and the nimble-footed Texan dodged his way to safety.
10. A Hogan to Moffett to Griffith flat pass reverse sent the Jayhawkers to the Dakota 31. A penalty moved the ball to the 14, and Griffith bulldozed between left tackle and end for the score.
11. Hogan took a punt from Volk and raced 66 yards behind perfect blocking.
12. Gilman intercepted a pass on the Dakota 40 and ran it to the 20. Wood moved to the 12, and Mester passed to Mallon for the score.
13. Thompson carried from the Kansas 15 to the 40. Sherwood rolllicked to the South Dakota 45, and Thompson went to the 32. Fisher wafted through to the 27, and Sherwood drove to the 7. Morrow passed to Morris on the 5 and Morris lateraled to Mendhenhall for the score.

Kansas was the only Big Six team to have it easy last week-end. The Jayhawkers completely overshadowed a weak South Dakota State squad. At 66 points that Kansas racked up set an NBA high for Jayhawkers. The previous high was made in an 83 to 0 win over Washington of St. Louis in 1923.

Oklahoma gave Texas a terrific battle before the Longhorns passed their way to a 34 to 14 triumph. The Sooners' hard charging backs poured the Texas line unmercifully. Lavery threw too many passes. He fired off a dozen for 129 yards, all figuring in Texas scoring.
On the ground the Oklahoma team piled up 263-yards giving the fans a show of power that will be hard to equal. There were numerous roughing penalties called against the bruising Oklahoma line as they completely outplayed the leaner Longhorn forward wall.
When the game was over a police escort was provided for the officials. Several thousand fans swarmed onto the field at the end of the game all shouting for a crack at the referees.

Nebraska lucked out over Iowa State 14-7. The Cornhuskers were out-rushed and out-passed but capitalized on two Cyclone bobles, one a bad center and the other a fumble, to score. Iowa State's line showed up much better than the heavy Nebraska line.
Missouri didn't have too much trouble taking Colorado, 21 to 0. The Tigers made nine first-downs to Colorado's 13. Missouri had a total of 265-yards for the afternoon against 215 for Jim Yeager's team.
It was the same old drubbing as far as Kansas State was concerned. The Wildcats were swamped 49 to 13 in Boston College.
The fans who watched the entire Kansas-South Dakota game got more for their money than the score indicates. There was a multitude of excellent runs. Bud French, Red Hogan, and Ray Evans all made long Scott, and matched Forrest Griffith, Tom Scott, and number 16 Kansas backfield men powered their way in, out, and around the Jackrabbit team.

Great improvement in blocking by the Jayhawkers was a notable feature of the lopsided contest. The Kan-istan State's starters skyward on every play.
Several sensational kickoffs by Evans kept the crowd interested. Once Ray booted the ball so hard that it hit the goal post cross-bar.
Twenty-three high school bands paraded before the game and they joined forces with the University band to play the national anthem.
Mike Getto, assistant football coach, was afraid of Jayhawker overconfidence before the Kansas-South Dakota State game Saturday.
Mike Should Worry About This Week
touchdown to make the score 80 to 0, Fullback Frank Patteee cased nonchallantly over to Getto on the sidelines.
So when head coach George Sauer asked him to speak to the players just before gametime, Getto didn't mince any words.
"Today's game may be lost because of the mental attitude which has prevailed during the past week," he warned the squad.
When Kansas scored its 12th
"Well, coach," he asked, "are you still worried about our attitude?"
Alabama ranks second among the states of the Union in production of sake.
