KU Bowling Teams Now Compete in Big 8
Bowling gear is standard equipment for 444 KU students who comprise the 74 teams and 13 leagues listed under Jaybowl intramurals this year.
The Jaybowl is not limited to leagues, however. As B. C. Fearing, director of recreations at the Kansas Union, said:
"It's wide open to the entire University family." His blue eyes twinkled as he continued, "I mean students and faculty alike.
Mr. Fearing lit a cigar and began clouding the room with a pleasant aroma as he thought back over the past few years.
"The Jaybowl was opened and added to Kansas' intramural program in February of '53," he recalled. Last year, he continued, KU started Big Eight Bowling.
"Only four teams entered the competition last season, but two more joined this year and a seventh, Iowa State, notified us it would join next year," he said.
Oklahoma is the only team which hasn't joined.
Mr. Fearing added that the Javahawkers had a winning 1958-59 season. They took the Big Eight bowling conference and four of them went on to greater fame, he said.
"Captain Tom Gess won a bid to the American Bowling Congress in St. Louis where he teamed up with a student from the State University of Iowa (Iowa City). Together they placed third in the doubles.
"Max Harbaceck was one of only three men who placed high enough to enter the face to face billiard competition at the University of Illinois. And in intercollegiate bowling, Polly Smith and Rose Stebbins placed first in region eight doubles."
Although there was no such thing as an official national championship for women, the girls rolled the high for all regions, he said.
Most Thrilling KU-MU Clash Was 20-14 KU Victory in 1947
By Bill Blundell
With the score tied 14-14, all eyes were on the clock. A scant 65 seconds were left to play. With the ball on its own six-syrd line, a determined Kansas squad prepared to cheat Father Time himself.
Sparked by All America Ray Evans' pinpoint passing and the bruising running of fullback Forrest Griffith, they drove 94 yards for the touchdown that defeated Missouri and clinched a KU Orange Bowl berth in what was perhaps the most thrilling Homecoming game ever played.
That contest was decided in 1947, 12 long years ago. But the setting is strangely similar today as a Jayhawker team squares off against arch rival Missouri tomorrow in Memorial Stadium.
Once more a strong Tiger squad
looms between Kansas and the New Year's Day classic.
The Kansas-Missouri rivalry stands as one of the oldest and most hotly contested in college football history. Since their first meeting in 1891, the two have clashed 67 times, the Jayhawkers winning 31 games and the Tigers 29. Seven games were deadlocked.
It was Missouri which faced Kansas in 1912, the year Homecoming began. The slogan before the game was "Missou delenda est" (Missouri must be destroyed). The Jayhawkers obliged, downing Missouri 12-3.
The Homecoming game between the ancient rivals has produced many upsets. One of the most exciting occurred in 1943 when an inspired Kansas队 nipped powerful Missouri 7-6. MU had been picked to win by five touchdowns.
