That point-after-touchdown is important!
Some persons claim that it is too important and wish to get rid of it altogether. But there are two sides to the story.
One point can make a lot of difference in a football game, it is true, but not so much that it is worth getting rid of. After all, each attempt for a conversion can be earned only after a touchdown is scored.
Don Fambrough's educated toe has proved to K.U. fans that the extra-point is essential to the game. Without a good extra-point kicker, a team is so seriously handicapped that the lack might mean the loss of one or more games throughout the season.
Last week's football results show that out of 142 games played, 15 were decided, or could have been decided, by kicking or missing one extra point. That makes about one game in 10.
K. U. is fortunate in having a good place-kicker who can put the ball through the uprights with a fair amount of regularity. Some teams don't, and are so much the worse for it.
Since most teams play a 10-or more game schedule, any team is likely to run into the law of averages and to need that "one more point" sometime during the season.
There are some interesting stories connected with extra-point kicking. A few years ago, in a tight Oregon-Oregon State game, the State team blocked a placement by hoisting its $6\%$ center into the air.
When Notre Dame absorbed its 59 to 0 shellacking from a great Army team in 1944, all the game balls were booted into the stands in the first three quarters by Army's ace place-kicker. Dick Walterhouse.
The officials pleaded in vain for the crowd to return the balls, but finally arrived at a satisfactory solution. A new ball was borrowed from the Cadets and was used in regular play.
Thereafter, every time Army scored, the Irish would trot out a practice ball for Walterhouse to put into the stands. Army won the game and the ball, their own.
Kansas' own Jayhawkers figured in a freak conversion play a few years ago. K.U. rallied against Drake to pull into a 6-6 tie with only a small amount of time remaining.
The spectators tensed: the extra point could win the game.
Kansas rooters groaned as the ball barely cleared the Jayhawker line, obviously too low, but the groans changed to wild shouts as the ball struck a Drake lineman's helmet and bounced over the crossbar for the game-winning tally!
Tulsa Smothers K.U. Passing As Line Blows Down
By JACK CHARVAT (Tulsa Tribune Sports Writer)
Skelly Stadium, Tulsa.—Tulsa university's Golden Hurricane blew an unhappy Kansas team clear out of the football park here Saturday afternoon, winning a lop-sided 56-0 triumph.
Harold "Monk" Stratton, a 10-second track star who played the second string job at right half in the Tulsa T. was the offensive star for the Tulsans as he lugged the leather across the K.U. goal three times on long jaunts and set up a fourth marker after being run out of bounds on the four.
The out-classed Jayhawkers managed to stave off a Tulsa touchdown for the first 14 minutes and 58 seconds but the rugged Missouri Valley outfit picked up its first tally with two seconds left in the initial period when Clyde LeForce pitched to Jimmie Ford on the goal line.
That was the signal for a terrific blast of power and aerial prowess as the Hurricane blew for four tallies in the second period to make it strictly no contest.
The speedy Hurricane line broke up all semblance of a Jayhawker attack, smothering Ray Evans for long losses most of the time when the Kansas pitcher faded to throw.
LeRoy Robison and Forrest Griffith were the only K.U. backs to show much although Evans managed to pick up a little yardage in the second half.
The Kansans got to the T.U. 9-yard line in the fourth period but Coach Buddy Brothers inserted his two start tackles, Russell Frizzell and Nelson Greene at this point and the threat wounds up back on the 19.
Coach Brothers almost stripped his bench as he sent more than four teams into action.
Kansas fumbles were costly in the big second-period scoring splurge as alert T.U. defenders recovered three times to set up scoring plays.
Bill Kemplin, Willis Lotz and Barry were best receivers for aerial shots when the Hurricane took to the air and LeForce. Finks and Jake Halter did most of the Tulsa pitching.
Jake Fry, reserve back for the Jayhawks, was injured in the third period and taken to a hospital for observation.
The game was played to a disappointing crowd of less than 14,000.
It was the fifth victory in six starts for the Hurricane and the second loss in six tries for the Kansans.
Coach George Sauer substituted liberally in an effort to assemble some kind of an attack but the blocking of the Kansas line was
K.U. Ranks Fourth In Big Six Standings
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—There'll be only two teams at the top of the Big Six standings when the dust settles next Saturday night—Oklahoma and either Missouri or Nebraska.
Right now those three teams are tied for top honors with two conference wins and no losses. Missouri meets Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday and it should be a good game to watch, whether or not it's good football from a technical stand-point.
Oklahoma steps outside the conference, after having shown tremendous power in rolling roughshod over Iowa State Saturday 63-0, to play at TCU at Fort Worth. Kansas comes home to brace itself for the Oklahoma Aggies, while Iowa State College moves over to Manhattan to play Kansas State for fifth spot in the conference standings.
A total of 93,500 persons saw the four games Saturday.
