ONE MORE TIME—Miles Eisenman, Oklahoma State's ace distance runner, is shown leading the pack at the halfway mark Saturday morning during the Big Eight cross-country championships held on the circular Lawrence country
club course. Eisenman emerged the individual winner but Kansas was able to gain its 13th straight loop title. Calling out his time to Eisenman is former Kansas great Wes Santee, the 1952 and '53 individual champion.
University Daily Kansan SPORTS Mitchell Unhappy With Kansas Play
Head football coach Jack Mitchell said today that he was completely dissatisfied with Kansas' performance against Colorado Saturday afternoon.
"This was our worst game of the season," Coach Mitchell said in reference to Colorado's 27-14 upset over Kansas that dropped the Jayhawkers down to a 3-way tie for second place in the conference along with Colorado and Iowa State.
"We were completely outplayed. We didn't play like we had in the past and we didn't play like we are capable of playing. I guess we were due for a bad game but I hope we can snap out of it and play two more good games."
THE KEY To the Colorado victory was Gale Weidner, the Buff's passing sophomore ace, who riddled the Kansas defense for 126 yards on 10 pass attempts. Included were three touchdown tosses.
Colorado grabbed an early lead as the Buffaloes took charge on the Kansas 44-yardline after recovering a Jayhawker fumble. Nine plays later Weidner passed for the score.
Weidner connected on another pass for the second Colorado tally to open up the second period scoring. The first Kansas score came on an 11-yard run by halfback John Hadl that climaxed a 57-yard drive. Kansas trailed only 13-7 at halftime.
Colorado added a few more points with about eight minutes remaining in the third period as the sophomore quarterback again found a receiver in the clear. Five minutes later Hadl scored his second touchdown of the day, and the final Kansas tally, as he plunged over from the six.
PRIOR TO THE Colorado encounter, the Jayhawkers had dumped Nebraska, Kansas State and Iowa State and had lost only to Oklahoma. The Jayhawkers were solid favorites to retain their tie for the loop lead with Oklahoma and be the Big Eight's Orange Bowl contest.
Bud Blames Bud for Loss
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Oklahoma beat Kansas State on Saturday and it proved that Bud Wilkinson isn't a terrible coach.
He did a bad job of coaching the week before. The result was that Nebraska beat Oklahoma, 25 to 21.
Argue with him—not me—be cause Wilkinson said it himself.
I am not. If I were, our team would not continue to make the same type of basic mechanical errors so repeatedly in every game.
In a post-Nebraska letter to the alumni, Wilkinson reported.
"Although our assistant coaches are doing a fine job, it must be that
It's difficult to explain how and why such things happen but I have always believed they were controllable if a team had the morale and discipline which results from proper leadership," he added. "I will try to do a better job of coaching in our four remaining games."
Syracuse Wins Eyes Bowl Bid
Louisiana State's defeat created a free-for-all for the National College Football Championship today but at least three conference titles and two major berths may be decided this week.
United Press International
The upsets which claimed six of the nation's 20 teams Saturday made Syracuse, Texas and Southern California the new "Big Three" of the college gridron and tightened up both the Big 10 and Southeastern conference races. Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue and Air Force Academy were among powers struck by "upset lightning" in addition to top-ranked L.S.U.
The football may take some more funny bounces before the season ends but the Jan. 1-2 bowl pairings probably will look something like this: Wisconsin vs. Washington in the Rose, Louisiana State vs. Arkansas in the Sugar, Colorado vs. Mississippiippi or Clemson in the Orange, Syracuse vs. Texas in the Cotton, and Mississippi or Clemson vs. Penn State or Tennessee in the Gator.
The most attractive — and the most likely — of these pairings should bring Syracuse and Texas together in the Cotton Bowl in a "game of the year." Syracuse's 20-18 victory over Penn State put the Orangemen on the high road to a perfect season and the Eastern Championship while Texas, 13-12 over Baylor Saturday, could clinch the host's berth next Saturday. A Texas win over Texas Christian and an Arkansas loss to Southern Methodist would turn the trick.
Wisconsin and Washington also could clinch Rose Bowl berths next Saturday although it's more likely the fight will go down to the final weekend.
Reiser New Dodger Coach
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — Pete Reiser, one of the all-time bargain buys of baseball, today was named a coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers to replace his former Brooklyn roommate, Pee Wee Reese, who accepted a broadcasting job.
