Frogs Practice Aerial Attack For K.C. Opener
Not flying saucers, but footballs should be filling the air Saturday night, when K.U. matches aerials with T.C.U.
But the big news from Fort Worth is that the Horned Frogs are going
Hardly a secret is the mighty arm of K.U.'s Riflin' Ray Evans, all-Big Six selection in 1946 who topped the conference in yards gained passing.
Pre-season football dope sheets devoted to summing up teams throughout the country throw some light on Jayhawker grid opponents. Every team on the Kansas schedule will be able to field a line which outweighs the Jayhawker front wall.
By JIM RAGLIN
South Dakota State's line is listed in one of the magazines. It labels the Rabbit's tackles as tipping the scales from 220 pounds to 250 pounds. Every Big Six opponent is able to start a line that has a weight advantage over Kansas. Eminesco, Spreaker, Jr. '46
Last season the Kansas team was dwarfed by Oklahoma A. and M. but it spent most of the afternoon in the Aggie backfield. Dave Schmidt, 165 pound star flanker for the Jayhawkers, threw Bob Fenimore, Aggie All-American back, a total of 13 times!
In the Missouri game "Red" Ettinger and Hugh Johnson, Kansas tackles who weigh about 195 pounds, leveled Mizzou backs repeatedly and bottled up Kekeris and Pepper, giant Tiger tackles, throughout the game. Don Fambrough and Joe Crawford plowed through each opponent in every game to add to the opponents ground gaining difficulties.
This year's line will be light and tough. You can count on it to take advantage of any funnel or mix-up attempt. You must commit.
Ace Passer, Quits Missouri
Gloom clouds and crying towels hit Columbia, Mo., last week. The only triple-threat man in the Faurot backfield checked in his suit during the week. Bob Teel, ace passer and punter from Webb City, Mo., skipped a morning blackboard session and later told coach Faurot that he was quitting the team. The 24-year-old senior was slated for the starting left half spot but decided he was too old to play football.
Every year Missouri propagandists soak the towels with sad tales of green material, tough schedules, withdrawals, and injuries. Still the Tigers keep on scheduling top notch elevens and every year they are a contender for the Big Six crown. This year's team will be good, plenty good, and Teel's absence won't weaken them as much as they want opponents to believe. O.U. Will Miss Golding. Andros
Last season Golding scored the second largest total ever scored by a Big Six player in conference competition. He racked up 54 points for the Sooner scoreboard and played only nine minutes against Iowa State. His professional football contract calls for $37,500. Bob Steuber, Missouri's All-American scored 75 points in 1942 to set the record. He averaged 15 points a game against other Big Six teams.
The loss of Golding and Andros from the Oklahoma Sooner line-up presents a different problem. These men are experts and to replace them with their equals is difficult. Coach Bud Wilkerson, new Sooner coach, but backs like Golding and guards but backs like Golding and guards like Andros don't come around any campus, including the one at South Bend, Indiana, every year.
The last Kansas player to win conference scoring honors was Douglas who scored 21 points in 1937. Schaake with 24 markers in 1928 and in Bausch wins in 1929 and 1930, are the only other Jayhawk gridsters to lead the league in points scored. Sam Francis, new Kansas State coach, was the 1935 winner when he accounted for 29 Aggie points.
to "pass and pass and pass," with four promising candidates to do the job.
These hopefuls are Jim Lucas, Lindy Berry, Carl Knox, and Leon Joslin. Early reports named Lucas for the job, but he has been sidelined for perhaps a month with a leg injury, leaving Berry as most likely to succeed.
"We know that they're going to do a lot of passing," coach George Sauer acknowledged Friday. "They operate from single wing, double wing, and spread formation, running and passing equally well from all three. The ball will be in the air quite a bit that night."
As for the Jayhawk squad, "we hope to have a smoother functioning team than when we played them last year. The play was vicious, but there were the usual mistakes like fumbling and poor blocking. On their spirit was great. This year we have practically the same team, and the advantage of a whole year's work with one another."
Coach Sauer warned against giving this angle too much importance.
New Orleans —(UP)—New Orleans is still the nation's No. 1 banana port, a spokesman for United Fruit Co. said. Five banana boats come in each week with approximately 50,000 stems each, or more than 1,000,000 stems per month he reported.
