UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
APRIL 14,1947
By BILL CONBOY
The rain and cold which accompanied the Jayhawker football scrimmage Saturday afternoon reminded many spectators of last season's Oklahoma game. Practice under bad weather conditions is never any fun, but the Kansas team may profit next week by lessons it had in the mud Saturday. Experience in handling a wet ball on a slippery field will come in handy if the weather records of past seasons are a good indication.

Four men who they counted on for heavy action next fall did not play in the practice game Saturday. They are Terry Monroe and Don Ettinger, tackles; Don Fambrough, guard; and Leroy Robison, right halfback. Monroe, Fambrough, and Robison were kept on the sidelines by injuries.
Otto Schnellbacher, pass-snagging all-Big Six end, started the game for the Sixes despite an injured wrist. He sparkled in catching one pass from "Red" Hogan soon after the game opened. The heave was a short bullet over the right side of the line which "Schnelly" caught for a few seconds and then lateraled to Hoyt Baker who plunged on for additional yardage. The play was worth 15 yards.

Head coach George Sauer had all the details of the practice worked out in thorough style. The field was marked off plainly and accurately with chalk stripes. Benches were provided for the team members, and bleacher seats had been erected for spectators.

Despite the wet weather, the quarterbacks on all six of the elevens which saw action did not hesitate to throw the ball around. The two signal callers who opened the WHITE and "Red" Hogan for the Reds, tossed several needle-eye spirals with the soggy pigskin.
McNutt hit "Bud" French with a nifty bullet toss soon after the game began which went for 15 yards. The Colby athlete looked much improved in the passing phase of the game over last year. His generalship and defensive play have always been first-rate.

The second Red touchdown came on a beautifully executed pass play from Hogan to Schmidt. The toss was perfectly placed as Schmidt cut to the corner of the end zone. The 165-pound Schmidt took the ball over his head to score.
Forrest Griffith took honors for finding the best hole during the scrimmage. He was kicking, not running, however. The stubby fullback was back for a punt, but the pass from center was high. By the time he got the ball down in position, Red linemen were bearing down on top of him. He put his foot into the ball. It disappeared for a second into the mass of tacklers, then came out beyond and carried on down the field for 40 yards.
Dick Bertuzzi exhibited some rugged blocking during his time in the game. After the Arma gridder straightened out one White opponent with a bone-cracking block, Don Pierce, K. U. director of sports publicity, commented: "There's the roughest little man in the conference."
Dick Gilman did some nice running from left half for the Reds. In one 15-yard sprint, four men had their hands on him at various times but couldn't bring him down.
Another newcomer who showed flashes of promise was T. A. Scott, substitute quarterback for the Whites. He completed one 15-yard pass to end Roland Elliers after the niffiest bit of fakking of the offense. After a fake hand-off, he jumped into the air and tossed the serial over his shoulder right to the receiver. The deception was perfect.

The longest play from scrimmage of the game was a pass by Ken Morrow to Pat Dulaney which gained
Whites Squeeze Past Reds, 25-24 In Intra-Squad Football Game
The Whites squeezed past the Reds, 25 to 24, in an intra-squad football game Saturday afternoon on the Jayhawker practice field. Despite rain and cold, about 700 spectators saw the game.
The Reds scored first when right halfback Dick Bertuzzi intercepted a lateral thrown by White fullback Forrest Griffith and raced 40 yards to score. An attempted placement by Red Hogan was no good. Reds 6, Whites 0.
The Whites roared back a few moments later to score a touchdown by Dale Mallon, right halfback, on a 5-yard plunge. The White drive was sparked by the running of Griffith and French and the passing of quarterback McNutt. Dick Champion exept a job was blocked by Otto Schnellbacher. Reds 6, Whites 6. Reds Score Again
With Dick Gillman, Hoyt Baker, and Bertuzzi carrying the ball and Hogan tossing it, the Red eleven came back to score without losing possession of the ball. From the 7-yard line, Hogan hit Schmidt in the end zone to send the Reds into the lead once more. Instead of kicking for the extra point, Hogan tried passing again to Schmidt, but Dale Mallon knocked the ball down. Reds 12. Whites 6.
The Whites took the ball after an exchange of punts and marched to the Red 35-yard line. "Bud" French took the ball on a hand-off from McNutt, found a hole at right center and scored to score standing up. The kick for point was low. Reds 12, Whites 12. New Teams Go In
At this point, entire new elevers were substituted on both sides. Darrell Norris, White end, made a one-handed interception of a pass thrown by Red quarterback “Tip” Mester to start his team on a scoring drive.
T. A. Scott, White quarterback, hit Roland Ellerts and Norris with bullet passes to advance the ball downfield. Charley Moffett carried the brunt of the ground attack as the White eleven marched to the 1-yard line. Scott smashed over the goal on a quarterback sneak. Darrell Norris added the extra point from placement. Whites 19. Reds 12.
The Reds came back to score on the most unusual play of the afternoon. On the White 25-yard line, Tip Mester pegged a pass intended for Charles O'Neal, Red end, who raced into the end zone but lost the ball. In a sitting position, he grabbed the ball out of the air for 6 points. An attempted placement was low and wide. Whites 19. Reds 18.
Third string elevenes then took the field for both teams. Mixing passes with running plays, the Reds pushed the Whites back toward their own goal scoring quarterback. The kick for point was no good. Reds 24, Whites 19.
Gene Sherwood, White fullback,
completed point making for the day
when he crashed over from the 3-
The longest running play from scrimmage was the 35-yard jaunt by "Bud" French which gave the White eleven its second touchdown. The defense was by Dick Bertuzzi when he intercepted Fortress Grettiz's lateral at the beginning of the scrimmage to run it back 40 yards for a score.
