football coach, remembers scrambling for a place to live.
There was no equivalent to a coach. The football players live together and share a training table.
"WE ARE IN THE SAME boat with everybody else," said Betty J. Pattete, wife of star fullback Frank Pattete and the Association publications. "Housing was a major concern; we were all on the G.I. Bill; nobody had a car so they rode the buses, and there was no ball of babies."
Several football families, Mrs. Pearl's family, and several new arrivals shortly after the Orlando Bowl game early in 1948, including *Kenny* (now *Keith*) and the Don Euttingers
"There was a different attitude there. Farnobaugh said, "We were really interested in our education. We all had obligations and responsibility to serve."
"IT WASN'T ALL JUST FUN

Football was not the only
world sport, and most of the
students were wrapped up
their studies. There was little talk
of world or national problems.
They did not participate.
"That was a group of mature students," Nichols said. "They were motivated. They wanted to get through. They set a pace for them."
Conard said he found teaching political science stimulating in those days. It was difficult to find answers, but it was valuable in Watson Lab, he said.
"I thought the campus was really alive, mentally alive," she said. "Quick; they were curious. Questions came in discussions without any prodding. They were eager to learn, and they wanted to know."
INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATION among Conard's veterans, Mr. Conard asked the question of international conflicts, he said. His circle of veterans wanted an explanation of the countries would fight a world war.
Even so, football gripped the imaginations of many students. By the homecoming game with the team, a record of 15 wins, the season, enthusiasm was so high that a record crowd of more than 30,000 attended Stadium to see KU win, 20-14.
“As I look back on it, it was kind of a strange time.” Fambrough said. “There were so many veterans, but there was a lot of spirit on campus. It was a lot of students, and a lot of them were old men.”
The story of the successes of 1847 begins with the 1946 season, when a girl named Eleanor Sauer, the Jayhawks roiled to a 7-2 record and a Big Silk six. The team won 53-13.
RAY EVANS, who had set passing records as a sophomore halfback in 1942, brought back the Air Force team on which he played during the war. They included quarterback Red Hogan, lineman Hugh Johnson, Fambrug, Fambrug, Fambrug.
Fambrough had played his final game in the University of Texas in 1942. That team won the Southwest Conference and defended Georgia State in 1950.
Ottens Schnellbacher, an end who set receiving records in 1942 with Evans, was also back. By Fall 1957 he joined the team to beat in the Big Six.
The Jayhawks played one of their most difficult games to open the season. They sloshed to a 0-10 in the second half. Kansas City's加里·弗斯汀
"WE PLAYED THAT GAME
in the 1970s," Pattie said. "The conditions
were so terrible that no one could
play football. You just kind of love
it."
Pattee now works in the Kansas City office of the Department of Transportation.
Then came relatively easy
State, 27;-7 and South Dakota
State, 86;-8. The 86 points against
South Dakota State is still a
major hurdle.
Some of the players still are haunted by the Oklahoma game. KU had earned the co-championship in 1946 by defeating Oklahoma, 16-13 in seven games and with a 13-13 tie when Bamfrouh kicked a conversion point late in the game.
"Sure I remember that PAT," she remembered that I missed the one after the first touchdown. Normally you think about the bad news.
PATTEE STILL CONTENDS that Oklahoma won it on an illegal play.
Under the rules in 1947, receivers who lined up a yard behind the scrimmage line said. Oklahoma lined up Pattee said. Oklahoma lined up

the same time as the others at

Alumni...
Each alumnus who passes his 50th class anniversary receives a pin and citation of his accout- plishments at Commencement. One of the association's newer programs is to help establish associations in professional schools and departments at KU.
"We should have won that time," Schnellbacher, who was asked to prove himself, said. "We had a mental lapse on them." We played them, we played them, we played them.
Official fall semester enrollment at the University of Kansas is 19,753, not a record. There are 1,528 students at the Medical Center in Kansas City, 4 more than a year ago, and there are no match graduations and withdrawals. There are 1,528 students at the Medical Center in Kansas City, 4 more than a year ago, and there are no match graduations and withdrawals. The full-time equivalent student body at Lawrence, now 18,057, is up slightly. The new freshman class is or 8.8 per cent more than in 1971.
"THE MISSOURI GAME stands out and the toughest," Farnambeach said. "We won, but it was one whole day; we control the game at the last."
after that, the Jayhawks had handed Kansas State its 23rd straight loss, 55; bore a 19-year losing streak in Lincoln by coming from behind 13; and, in Oklahoma, came to down Oklahoma State. 13-7.
The quarterback then ran an pattern and received a touchdown. He didn't know the play was illegal at the time, so the touchdown
The Jayhawks had an 8-2-0 record after a 54-28 road victory over the Chicago school's first bowl against Georgia Tech, a team that was 9-1.
It took a 94-yard drive that lasted for six minutes late in the game for KU to come away with a win and the Big Six cochampionship.
The $250,000 budget maintains an office in the Kansas Union and pays five executive staff members and 15 clerical staff members.
Schnellbacher is an insurance executive in Topeka now.
The game in many ways was the same as the season KU entered the game as two-touchdown underdog but came within inches of victory for both teams.
Life membership costs $175. It can be paid in 10 installments. Alumni out of school less than 18 years and over 45 years get a $2 discount.
Student spirit reached unprecedented heights. One group of students, Pattee said, rented a theater for the New Year's Day game. Nothing like the exodus of 1968 took place, Mrs. Pattee said, but enough students followed the event to give great impression on the Floridians.
The association is run by a bevy of three. Three are elected to serve five-year terms each year. A fourth, also elected, also assists them every year.
"That's too bad that that happened to McMutt," Fambrough said. "He was a real fine man." He added, all people remember him for all.
Pattée still has the game ball. His teammates awarded it to him for his effort in the game.
TRAILING BY THAT SCORE,
kills him six minutes to play. Evans passed three to Schneibacher to move KU to the 12 yard line. They had a turnover.
There, disaster struck. Lynne Mott, an assistant, an age 51, quarterback for the Miami line, and Georgia Tech teammate, was deserved to win. The Miami team did not.
"I always felt we had a much better football team," Pattee said. "I'd have loved to play them again."
So would Schnellbacher. So would Fambrough.

More than the defeat, however, the players remember the team's togetherness.

"It was a funny team," Pattie said. "I don't think there was a team that could win against something to offer in the huddle. The coaches worked the hell out."

"He was known all over campus, not as a star, but as a fine, humble individual. We all enjoyed knowing him."
