The football season has passed the halfway mark for the Kansas Jayhawkers and at this stage of the game they have come out on the winning side of the ledger with three wins as opposed to two losses.
Since that time Kansas has been undefeated while downing Boston University 28-7, Nebraska 10-3, and Kansas State 33-14.
The losses came early, when the young Jayhawkers were trying out their wings and wiping the back-sides of their ears dry. They came also from the hands of two gridiron powerhouses, Texas Christian in the Southwest conference and from Syracuse, a highly regarded eastern eleven.
They were also not disgraceful losses as TCU won by a 14-7 score and Syracuse broke away late for a 35-21 margin at the final gun.
What's ahead for the Jayhawkers? First comes Oklahoma, the conference kingpin for the last umpleen years and the favorite for the next umpleen years. This game will be played Saturday and Oklahoma is, as usual, favored.
After Oklahoma comes Iowa State, the winningest team in the conference this year. The "dirty thirty" of 1-State have won four games while dropping only one and last week trimmed Colorado 27-0. The Cyclones will be up for Kansas and will go all out to spring an upset.
Kansas should get a breather the following week when the Jayhawkers travel to Colorado but the atmosphere can play tricks on any crew and Kansas is no exception. The Colorado eleven is having its worst season in many moons, however, and Kansas will go into the game favored by a wide margin.
Oklahoma State comes next and again the Jayhawkers are the favorites, at least at this point. OSU just barely downed Kansas State two weekends ago and Kansas State has the same poor (1-4) record that Colorado has.
Last, but not least, on the Kansas menu is Missouri. This game will probably decide the Big Eight's entry in the Orange Bowl and can go any way.
The road to Miami on New Year's Day will be a rough one for Kansas as the next five games, not the first five, will decide the conference runner-un.
My money is on Kansas, and its maturing sophomores.
Coach Bill Easton's Kansas crosscountry crew will entertain Arkansas' defending Southwest conference champions Saturday in an effort to regain stature after their streak of 21 straight dual wins was snapped by the Chicago Track Club last weekend.
Arkansas Next On Kansas List
The Razorbacks return the nucleus of a club which has swept three straight Southwest crowns. Included are Ray Dyck, 1957 individual champion; Jack Nelson, who was third last year; Buck Rennick and Joe Bessenbacher.
Also on the Arkansas traveling squad are Eddie Black, Lynn James, James Taylor and Stuart Towns.
Arkansas lost a 21-38 opening dual to Oklahoma State but bounced back last Saturday to spill Wichita and Tulsa in a triangular meet, 18-50-63.
The seven KU runners will be Brian Travis, Tom Skutka, Clif Cushman, Billy Mills, Dai Ralston, Bob Lindrud and Jack Henry.
The meet will be held on the Jayhawkers' new course at the Lawrence Country club.
Gomez is Winner
NEW YORK  — (UPI) — Vernon (Lefty) Gomez of the New York Yankees was the winning pitcher in three of the first five All-Star games played between the National and American leagues.
Pressure Eases On Wichita Coach
And he was under fire from the Mustang Club, a group of alumni and SMU boosters, nearly all the time he was at SMU.
WICHITA — (UPI)— Pressure on a college football coach from alumni clubs is always great, regardless of the size of the school or the size of the club.
Chalmer E. (Woody) Woodard, head coach at the University of Wichita, is an authority on the subject.
Woodard, who a few years ago made the jump from tiny McPherson College to Southern Methodist, has had his ups and downs. Right now he's up-with the best team here since the Wheatshockers won the Missouri Valley conference title in 1954.
Finally, after a 1956 season that saw SMU win only four of 10 games. Woodard was forced to step down
Woodard made the jump to "big-time" football in 1953, when he took over the helm at SMU. During his four years there he won 19, lost 20 and tied one.
He moved to Wichita and took over the reins of the Wheatshockers, where he was often sharply criticized by the Century Club and the Shocker Club (Wichita U. boosters) during losing seasons in 1957 and 1958.
The pressure from the SMU alumni had taken its toll.
The two University of Wichita booster clubs reportedly were after Woodard's scalp at the start of the 1959 season; he had to produce or get out.
And he has produced in fine fashion, winning three and tying one in his first four games of the season. The pressure on Woodard has since eased somewhat, although the boosters were a bit disappointed with the Shockers' 28-28 tie with Cincinnati
"It doesn't make much difference what size school you coach at—or the size of the alumni clubs. They all want to win," Woodard grinned. "Take the Century Club and Shocker Club here—they don't compare in size with the Mustang Club at SMU, but these people want to win just as bad."
