Jayhawkers Must Stop Ace Sophomore Passer
By Warren Haskin
Kansas must throw a net over dark horse Colorado tomorrow if the Jayhawkers are to keep its chances alive for the Big Eight football lead and a trip to the Orange Bowl.
Three KU starters—Benny Boydston, Ron Michaels, and Fred Bukaty—are out with injuries. Boydston is the only one of the three who might possibly see action in the Buffalo tail according to Coach Jack Mitchell.
If Boydston is not able to start, his right guard spot will be manned by either sophomore Jim Mills or junior Joe Spurney.
The Jayhawkers have been working against the Colorado offense all week trying to figure a way to stop the fine passing attack of Buffalo quarterback Gale (The Whip) Weidner. It was Weidner's passing that enabled Colorado to upset the Missouri Titers last week.
Simulating the talented Buff sophomore, Roger McFarland, Texas A&M transfer, has been passing through the Kansas defense for the past three days at will against the first three units while operating a team with Buffalo patterns.
"Weidner is as dangerous as any back in the league, including Dwight Nichols. He is not only a fine passer, but also is a running threat because of his speed." KU scout Tom Tripplett said yesterday.
Triplett is not the only person who thinks Weidner is one of the best. Earlier in the week Missouri mentor Dan Devine said that the Buff's quarterback was as good as Penn State's Richie Lucas or SMU's Don
Meredith. The Tigers have played all three teams.
Over-all, Weidner has completed 65 of 129 passes for 817 yards and two touchdowns. He ranks eighth on the latest NCAA passing charts with a 504 completion mark.
It will be up to Coach Mitchell's Jayhawker squad to halt Weidner if it hopes to stay tied with Oklahoma for the conference lead. The Jays have shown they can rise to the occasion against the better passers around the country as they broke Dwight Nichols string of 101 passes without an interception just last
week.
Nichols completed just two more than the Javahawkers intercepted in 13 tosses for 73 yards. The Javahawkers picked off three of his passes in the game at Lawrence.
Earlier in the season, Kansas tacklers stabbed two touted Boston University flingers, Emo DiNitto and Jackie Farland, for T2 yards in losses and two interceptions.
Kansas State's John Solmos is the only passer to have a good day against the Jayhawkers this year as he netted 152 yards and one touchdown during the day.

"THE WORM TURNS"
"THE WORM TURNS"
Shakespeare said it this way:
"The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on."
But Miguel de Cervantes beat him to it in "Don Quixote", Part II, Book 3:
"Even a worm when trod upon, will turn again."
"MUSIC HAS CHARMS"
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak."
"RHYME OR REASON"
The 17th Century playwright, William Congreve, was the first to set down this classic metaphor concerning the powers of sound and rhythm. You'll find the whole quote in "The Mourning Bride", Act I, Sc. 1:
Edmund Spenser, 16th Century poet, expected a pension. He didn't get it. So he wrote this rhyme:
"I was promised on a time/To have reason for my rhyme;/From that time unto this season,/ I received nor rhyme nor reason."
