UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY,OCT.3,1947
By JIM RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Tomorrow's game should provide University students with a chance to view the aerial efforts of some of the best passers in the Big Six. Iowa State has a top flight passer in Ron Norman. Second among the leading conference passers last year, he tossed 31 successful passes out of 82. His ace receiver, Dean Laun, end, will be here Saturday also. Laun caught 21 Norman passes for 301 yards last season.
Kansas is well fortified in the passing department. Lynn McNutt, Red Hogan, and Tom Scott will be on the firing line. Ray Evans, last year's leading conference passer, probably won't play but even without Evans the skies will be crowded with passes.
Joe Golding is starring in the professional circuits. The former Oklahoma ace dashed 72 yards on a line buck against the New York Giants. The run was nullified by a clipping penalty and Golding's team, the Boston Yanks, had to be content with a 7 to 7 tie.
Time for edition three of Spotlight Pinches.
KANSAS over Iowa State—It will take a stronger squad than the Cyclones to give Kansas her first defeat. Students will get their first chance to see the Jayhawker and they won't be disappointed—unless they bet on Iowa State.
Army over Colorado—but not by the walk-off some are expecting. Army managed to beat Villanova last weekend, but was unimpressive. We look for a fairly even game, at least until the halfway mark. Army undoubtedly will be beaten this year. The question is, will someone else tarnish their brass before Notre Dame gets to them?
North Carolina over Texas— This probably should read "Charlie Justice over Texas." It's the game of the week, so anything can happen.
Notre Dame over Pittsburgh—any bets?
Missouri over S.M.U.-for the upset of the week. We just can't see picking anyone over up-and-coming Missouri. Not after the Ohio State game Saturday.
T. C.U. over Arkansas—the Horned Frogs were tough even in the rain against Kansas. Notwithstanding their defeat by Oklahoma A. & M. last Saturday, we'll stick with Dutch Mever.
Texas A. & M. over Oklahoma—all for the want of a Golding.
Navy over Columbia—Lou Little is on the way back, but he hasn't arrived vet.
Iowa over Illinois—don't take our word on this one. It looks like anybody's game from here.
Michigan over Stanford—Oh, east is east and west is west, but what does that have to do with it?
Chanute Juco over Eldorado—No,
I'm not from Chanute.
ALSO: Georgia Tech over Tulane,
L.S.U. over Georgia, Duke over Tennessee,
Alabama over Vanderbilt,
Tulsa over Drake, Wisconsin over Indiana,
and California over St.
Mary's.
Thursday's Kansan carried a story concerning the need for a new practice field for the Jayhawker gridders. Coach George Sauer said in the article that by the time Kansas fields the opposing team usually knows exactly what to expect in the way of running, passing, and defense.
This is a problem that should not be minimized. The Jayhawkers cannot be expected to maintain a championship pace when they haven't a secret to call their own.
The Jayhawkers must have a practice place secluded from the public eye. Maybe a few students will not get to watch the Sauer teams scrimmage. It's worth it. Kansas may unveil a secret weapon later this season which wouldn't have been possible without private—really private—practices.
Jayhawk-Cyclone Grid Fight Opens 1947 Big Six Race
The Jayhawkers of George Sauer may spread their well-padded wings in full flight Saturday afternoon when they battle the rejuvenated Iowa State Cyclones on the take-off game of what promises to be a stormy trip through the 1947 Big Six schedule.
Tomorrow Kansas plays its first daylight game. Its offense is keyed up after a week of concentrated drilling by coach Sauer, designed to set off the spark that burned up the Cyclones last year at Ames, 24 to 8. The Kansans will also be trying hard to please 20,000 home fans, the expected crowd at the season debut in Memorial Stadium. If the weather is favorable the stage will be set for the fast Kansas backs and passing specialists to open up.
KU Needs Punch
"Our first two games have shown our sore need for more punch. The weather ruled out anything we might have tried against TCU and our limited contract work because of injuries last week certainly showed up against Denver. I'm not taking anything from the two teams we have played. Our offense simply should be better," summed up the head coach.

Ray Evans probably will not start Saturday, and may see only limited action against the Cyclones. The Jayhawker star is still nursing a bruised knee, which has kept him on the sidelines since the second quarter of the opener in Kansas City, except for a kickoff in that game and a ball-holding job for Don Fambrough ast Friday. He will be replaced by Tom Scott or Charley Moffet, both able performers. Hoyt Baker, second-string fullback and punter, is also sidelined for two weeks with a leg injury, but Frank Pattee and Forrest Griffith are still available.
more menacing than this injury epidemic is the threat of over confidence. Experts have the Jayhawkers favored to top the team from Ames by three touchdowns, overlooking the fact that the spirited players of the best pass defenses in the Midwest and a new coaching staff which could convert them into the surprise team of the conference.
Emmett R. "Abe" Stuber, the new coach at Iowa State, moved up from Southeast Missouri State college at Cape Girardau, where his teams had won 120, lost 35, and tied 15 in 17 years. Last year he turned out his fourth undefeated eleven, which had the best defensive record in the nation. Not a defensive-minded coach, Stuber has introduced a combined "T" and short punt formation at Iowa State, stressing an aerial attack which, after two games, leads all Big Six teams in passing yardage. He goes strong for precision plays, and stresses fundamentals, the little elements in football which often turn the tide in close games.
Stuber's attack is built around quarterback Ron Norman, who trailed only Evans last year in aerial yardage in the Big Six, completing 31 flips in 82 tries. In two contests this season, the Cyclone has hit 17 times in 40 attempts for 27 yards of Missouri. After a game at Missouri, Another man to watch in the cyclone backfield is Webb Halbert, who followed Stuber from Cape, where he earned little All-American mention. Although Halbert was out with injuries last week, he is a probable starter in tomorrow's contest, and will surely play through most of the game. Holdovers
Stuber a Standout Coach
Vie Weber, a halfback, and Ray Klootwyck, fullback, round out a starting Cyclone backfield which packs plenty of offensive punch.
World Series and afternoon football scores may be obtained at the Daily Kansan, KU 25, after 4 p.m. tomorrow.
Score will be available every Saturday.
Bob Dellinger, College senior, is in charge.
