Kansas State football coaches are worrying about the shortage of big backs on the Wildcat squad. In spring practice, head coach Sam Francis and backfield coach Norvall Neve were impressed by their passer men, but they were searching for a few 200-pound line buckets to bolster the offense.
Neve, former Hutchinson High school coach said, "I think this Harry Merriman is as good a little back as you'll find—and this boy Max Lingatelter from Augusta is good, too. But, remember they are both little boys."
Head man Francis was impressed by the forward passing of Gayle Krause of Belleville. The Wildcat coach said, "He didn't always connect, but the ball was going down the right passing lanes." Krause threw two scoring passes in the initial Aggie intrasound scrimmage.

Coach 'Abe Stuber of the Iowa State football squad used a novel system in his spring practice scrimmage sessions. He divided his men into four teams before the games. Then in the first quarter, team one played team four; in the second quarter, team two played team three; in the third quarter, team one played team three; and in the final quarter, team two played team four.
Head coach George Sauer created enthusiasm in his squad during Jayhawker spring sessions by keeping full game point totals during the contest between the Red and White elevens. Even in practice, the players like to win. Knowledge of the score plus consistent substitution make the players try harder than if they are shifted around in an unusual manner without chance to be winner.
One disadvantage of such a system would appear to be the inability to keep a running score for the gam. Players like to know that six points has been credited to them every time hard work has resulted in a touchdown, and used at Amos would make it impossible to have a final score at the end of the scrimmage. Only individual quarters could be scored.

To Hold Women's Picnic
A picnic for all University women will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday in potter ake grove. Organized houses will be brittle, comfortable at large, box lunches.
Allen Blames Body Contact For Losses, Plans Changes
Head basketball coach F. C. "Phog" Allen blames the trouble en countered by the Jayhawk team last season on too much body contact under the basket.
The picnic, sponsored by the United Women's council, will be postponed until May 20 in case of rain.
The jams were caused by a driving offense and a shoving, buffetini fense he said.
"I believe that was the fundamental trouble," coach Allen sai scrimmage sessions have showed me that the boys are trying
"everything by speed and power.
it's not basketball."
"Our fight is improved, but we lack finesse and basketball prospective. About the only thing our job has is plenty of drive," he added.
eam Has Plenty Of Drive
Coach Allen, recently returned from three months in California where he was ordered by his doctors. He ended spring practice Saturday and will open his 35th season coach of the Kansas team next December.
His California trip forced him to miss half the team's games last winter. The season was the worst Kansas has had since formation of the Big Six. They won 16 and lost 11.
"I have been doing a lot of experimenting," the veteran coach explained. "I really do not know the playing characteristics of some of the younger boys who lettered last year.
We may modify our offense," said coach Allen. With this announcement, he indicated that the Jayhawks may not use their single post offense of last season. They used it effectively throughout the season, but it was somewhat awkward at times. They also employed a five-man roll and their regular two-in, three-out alignment.
Early last season coach "Phog" experimented with a double-post, with Charlie Black and Otto Schnellbacher in the free throw areas. That may be one of the offenses he intends to try next season.
Has Gap To Fill
A tip-off on the rebuilding campaign facing him may be stated very simply—he has to fill a gap left by two men, Charlie "the Hawk" Black and Ray Evans. To do this he has four new men tagged for future reference and seven lettermen off the squadrille team. Thomas Brackett, a Scott, a football quarterback from Kilgore, Texas; Jerry Waugh, Wellington freshman; Bill Fegals, sophomore from Kansas City, and Bob O'Brien of AAU fame.
The lettermen include: Claude Houchin, Wendell Clark, Harold England, Otto Eskridge, Bill Sapp, Otto Schnellbacher, and Don Auten. Also returning will be Ray Frisby, 1946 lettermen, Charlie Moffett and Bob Malott, who played on wartime squads.
Rifle Club Plans For More Members
Sweatshirts for the club will be ordered at the beginning of the fall term.
The Rifle club will meet on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings next year, it was decided at a meeting recently. An increased membership will be the goal for next year's club, officers of the club said. Rifles for the team will be assigned so that each member will become accustomed to one rifle. Members of the club will be taught to fire from sitting, standing, kneeling, and prone positions.
A steak fry at the home of Barbara Ewing, college sophomore, 703 North Third street, was planned for May 19, by the Physical Therapy club Monday night. A constitution was also adopted at the meeting.
