Kansas Sets Defense For K-State Wildcats
By Jim Trotter
Coach Jack Mitchell's fired-up Jayhawkers will be seeking their third straight victory and the top berth in the Big Eight conference standings tomorrow afternoon when they entertain Sunflower State rival Kansas State.
The Jayhawkers hold a wide advantage in the series that began in 1902. KU has 36 wins and K-State 17. Three of the intrastate battles ended in ties.
KANSAS HAS WON its last two starts, trouncing Boston University 28-7 and then upsetting Nebraska 10-3, after losing openers against Texas Christian, 7-14, and Syracuse, 21-35.
K-State, on the other hand. has an unimpressive 1-3 record with its lone win coming over tiny South Dakota State, 28-12. The Wildcats have lost to Wichita, 19-0; Oklahoma State, 27-21, and Colorado, 20-17.
Coach Bus Mertes has been giving the Kansas State crying towel quite a workout this week. He Jost his top field general, John Solmos, who is out with a sprained elbow injured in the Colorado game last week.
Solmos, one of the leading passers in the conference, will not start for the Wildcats tomorrow
but will probably see action in spots if he is needed. Coach Mertes has moved sophomore Gary Kershner into the starting quarterback slot.
MERTES GAVE an interesting interview this week, in which he said:
"We are going to show up for the game. We have to. It's a conference rule—I've checked.
"Seriously, I don't know how we can win it. But there is always the possibility that our men will play 100 per cent over their heads.
"From films we have seen that Kansas is one of the most aggressive defensive clubs we have faced this year. They appear to have a fine opportunity of going to the Orange Bowl, and I'm afraid we can't give them too much argument about it.
"Our last three games with the Jayhawkers have been interesting ones but we're afraid this one may be a reverse of the game we won 46-0 four years ago."
COACH MITCHELL and his charges have been warning themselves all week not to let up the least bit for the game tomorrow. "Anything can happen in this particular game," Coach Mitchell has said. The Jayhawkers echoed his statements to a man.
Game time is 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Coach Bill Easton will give a banquet in honor of his NCAA track team Saturday.

Campbell, who finished the 1958 season as the No. 4 man in total offense, has gained 738 yards on 138 plays—an average of 184.5 yards per game. Campbell is the No. 3 passer, according to latest figures released by NAIA, with 602 yards—an average of 150.5 yards per game.
Coach Bill Easton will witness the glory of his long dreamed of goal Saturday when he and his NCAA championship track team—the first in Big Eight history—are honored during the halftime ceremonies of the Kansas-Kansas State football game.
When the cross-country season opened October 11, 1958, the Jay-hawkers had hopes, but not expectations of what the season was to bring. That meet was the first demonstration of the 1958-59 track team's power as Billy Mills led the Jays to a 15-41 cross-country victory over Missouri.
On February 2, the Jays opened their indoor track season by defeating Oklahoma 70-52 in a meet where two records were broken and two were tied.
Six out of every seven households in the United States have at least one television set.
THE FOLLOWING week Coach Easton announced three of his men wouldn't go to the Michigan State Relays at East Lansing, but that didn't stop the Jays as they made a sweeping victory of the meet anyway.
And when November 8 rolled around the Jayhawkers won their 12th straight conference championship by finishing far ahead of second-place Iowa State.
In an interview February 27 Coach Easton said that his team was only in fair shape for the Big Eight conference indoor meet, but the following Monday headlines proved

him wrong. KU swept its eighth straight Big Eight indoor championship that weekend and shattered two conference records. Clif Cushman accounted for one of the new marks by breaking his own record in the 1,000 yard run. The Kansas mile-relay team accounted for the other.
BILL ALLEY BROKE every javelin record in the book the day of the first outdoor meet. He registered 258' 4", and the total result was a KU victory in the Abilene Christian Invitational with $71_{1/2}$ points.
May 2 marked another day for records at Tidwell and Ernie Shelby each established new meet times, but due to an 18 m.p.h. wind they were not recorded. For Alley it was just another meet and another javelin record, $253' 10'$.
The Jayhawkers walked off with the Big Eight championship title on May 17 as Tidwell smashed the meet record in the 220-yard low hurdles and Alley tossed his javelin 34 feet farther than the nearest foe.
The following weekend the Jays rounded out their dual meet season by defeating Nebraska 94-42.
KU SWEPT the Missouri Valley AAU on May 23, and went on to the Central Collegiate at Milwaukee.
There on June 6th Kansas scored a record 98 points, and Tidwell became a top candidate for the Olympic team. He became only the third man in the 34-year history of the meet to win three individual titles setting a record of 21 seconds for the 220-yard dash, won the 100 easily and set a meet standard of 23.3 in the 220 low hurdles.
