McClinton Provides Big Kansas Answer
Bv Joe Womack
Can Kansas survive the remainder of its schedule and go on to gain the much coveted Big Eight berth in the Orange Bowl?
This question is on the lips of every Jaybawker fan on campus. A powerful sophomore halfback
Curtis McClinton
could provide the answer to this question. His name? Curtis McClinton!
In last Saturday's 10-3 must win over Nebraska. McClinton carried the ball 16 times for 72 big yards in the Kansas offense. Forty-six of these yards were made on the final Jayhawker scoring drive.
"We have unity and the desire to work hard to win. Also we want to have a great team. Now we realize that if we work hard we have a good opportunity to play in the Orange Bowl, so we are going to work extra hard."
McClinton was also outstanding on defense, making many bone-crushing stops on Cornhusker carriers.
An amazing fact about the 210 pounder is that this is only his second year in the backfield. McClinton was an All State and Prep All America end while attending Wichita North High School. He was switched to the backfield last year while playing on the Kansas frosh team.
"Football is part of my life," McClinton said. But the three hours spent on the practice field have to be overlooked to start studying after the practice is over."
Echoing Coach Jack Mitchell's words in looking towards the intrastate Kansas-Kansas State classie this weekend. McClinton said;
"Winning the Nebraska game gave us the added incentive to have a better ball club than we were at the start of the season," he said.
"K-State can't be taken lightly. They'll be up for us and it will be another hard-fought battle between traditional rivals."

Jayhawk Harriers Face Chicago Club
KU's defending cross-country champions will go to Chicago Friday for a dual meet with the Chicago Track Club.
"We intend to come back victorious even if we don't have the individual winner," Coach Bill Easton said today.
The Jayhawk squad trounced Chicago last year by a 20-43 score, but failed to garner individual honors for the second consecutive time against the Chicago team.
In 1957, Chicago's Gar Williams took the honors with a record-breaking run over the Washington Park course. Last year, Phil Coleman repeated for the Chicagoans with a 20:42.7 performance at KU.
This year the meet will start at five p.m. Chicago time on the Washington Park four-mile course.
Going with Coach Easton will be: Billy Mills, Brfan Travis, Tom Skutka, Cliff Cushman, Bob Lindrud, Dan Ralston, and Don Henry.
The team will leave Kansas City at 8:40 Friday and will arrive in Chicago at 11:30, where they plan to stay at the Hotel Widermer.
Then There Were Two
STATE COLLEGE, Miss. — (UPI)
— When Billy Stacy, star Mississippi State quarterback, graduated last spring, he left two brothers, Benny and Bobby, to carry on the family name on the school's football team. Benny is a 187-pound guard and Bobby is a 165-pound halfback.
Coach Is Bill Collector
ATHENS, Ga. — (UPI) — Coach Wally Butts is sure to get an answer when he calls for "Bill" this season because seven members of his University of Georgia football squad answer to that first name.
