Kansas Football Coach May Haunt His Teacher
The pupil watched and listened attentively, earned his diploma, and now may come back to haunt his teacher.
The pupil in this case is Jack Mitchell, head football coach at the University of Kansas and a 1949 graduate of Oklahoma University. The teacher is Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson.
Mitchell, who still holds several individual. Sooner grid records, learned three lessons from Wilkinson while quarterbacking Oklahoma teams from 1945-49, said United Press International.
Lesson No. 1: Year after yeat Mitchell watched the Oklahoma coach dip into Texas high school ranks for outstanding football talent, around which he built conference and national champions. When spring drills opened here Monday, there were five Texans in the Kansas camp—all of whom were either all-state high school players or college transfers.
Lesson No. 2: Mitchell learned it was necessary to gamble to get a winner. He's gambling in a big way this year in switching star halfback John Hadl to quarterback—a move, if it fails, may prove as popular to Kansas football fans as the Roy Sievers deal was to Washington baseball enthusiasts.
Lesson No. 3: The Kansas coach learned you have to have something different in the way of an offense to confuse the opposition. This spring he is installing a "pigeon-toed T" formation which he figures "will help us get wide and will help our halfbacks avoid going in motion too soon."
The key Texas performers in Mitchell's plans are halfback Bert Coin and quarterback Roger McFarland. Coen, former all-state halfback at Sadena, Tex., and a transfer from TCU, may be the Jayhawkers No. 1 right halfback. McFarland, a native of Fort Worth, Tex., is a transfer from Texas A&M
"With Hadl making the move to quarterback," Mitchell said, "Coan has a good chance of becoming a starter." He was a standout sprinter in high school and was named the outstanding back in the Texas high school coaches assn. all-star game his senior year.
His transfer to Kansas was accompanied by howls from TCU and from Big Eight conference opponents, all of whom accused Kansas of raiding the Fort Worth school's campus.
McFarland, a fine prospect who was being groomed for big things at Texas A&M, is expected to alternate with Hadi at quarterback.
The other backfield positions are solid, with all-conference junior Curtis McClinton at left halfback and the top three fullbacks—Doyle Schick, Fred Bukaty and Norm Mailen—on hand.
But while the Jayhawkers appear strong in the backfield, things in the line are a little different.
"We're going to have to do some patching in the line," Mitchell admitted.
Kansas lost three of its top four ends, both starting tackles and one starting guard, but will field the best corps of centers in the conference with all-conference Fred Hagman backed up by Kent Staab and Bill Burnison, the Nos. 2 and 3 performers at that position last year.
"It's still too early to see just how strong we will be," Mitchell said. "but we could have a pretty good football team."

KU Hurlers Combine To Pitch No-Hitter
Cold weather didn't seem to hamper KU's baseball team yesterday as three Jayhawker pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter against the Washburn Ichabods in blanking them 4-0.
Washburn was not able to hit one out of the infield against the offerings of Ken Hensley, Tom Holler and Jerry Waldschmidt. The three struck out 14 Washburn batters with Waldschmidt fanning eight in the last three innings.
The game,unusually well-played for this early in the campaign, started off to be a thriller from the opening pitch.

NEED A RIDE? NEED RIDERS?
Bill Haney, Washburn hurler, blanked the Jays until the seventh when John Tonge led off with a triple to right. Haney then yielded his first two walks to fill the bases with nobody out.
Tom Dorney laid down a perfect bunt to squeeze the first run across. Marion Bryant's infield singlescored another and the Jays were in front for good.

Bryant drove in the final two runs as a long two-out triple in the ninth after Jerry Milner, the second Washburn pitcher, had walked two.
Washburn had only four base-runners and one of the four was thrown out by Dorney on a steal attempt. The only Ichabod to advance further than first base was Jim Payne who was hit by a pitch in the second inning and stole second and third.
VI 3-2700 - Ext. 376
Kansas showed a "definite improvement over its performance in Arkansas last week" according to coach Floyd Temple.
Temple said, "The team only made one error, and I was definitely pleased with the showing."
One of the three Kansas hurlers who turned in the outstanding performance, Waldischmidt, told the Daily Kansan today that it was one of the biggest thrills in his baseball career.
It was the first Kansas win in three games in its final tuneup for the conference opener against the Oklahoma Sooners Friday at Lawrence.
Waldschmidt said, "Anytime that you're part of a no-hitter, it has to be a tremendous thrill because that's something a pitcher always dreams of throwing. I really was nervous the last couple innings because I knew that Tom (Holler) and Ken (Hensley) had the no-hitter going and I didn't want to lose it for them."
