By Warren Haskin Coach Mitchell has made two changes in the Jayhawker starting lineup that remained solid for two weeks against Texas Christian and Syracuse. Head Football Coach Jack Mitchell said today that tomorrow's contest between the Jayhawkers and Boston University will be one of the most important games this season for Kansas. The Boston University squad is reportedly the best it has been since 1954 when it was ranked as one of the top teams in the nation. Coach Steve Sinko has a promising corps of veterans backed by some excellent sophomores. KICKOFF TIME for the inter-sectional contest is scheduled for 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Memorial Stadium. Chuck Lukinac will draw his first starting assignment at left end replacing John Peppercorn who was moved down to the second unit in the middle of the week. Benny Boydston will draw his first starting assignment in the right guard slot formerly filled by Joe Spurney. KANSAS' HOPES for the season rose this week as Bill Crank returned to practice sessions for the first time since the season opened. Crank, the No. 1 quarterback last year, was injured in spring drills. It is still not known whether or not he will see action this season, but Duane Morris is holding down the field general's job at the present. John Hadl, Big Eight conference scoring leader. will be starting his third straight Saturday at left half. The Lawrence soph scored three touchdowns in his first two varsity games including a 98-yard interception against TCU and a 97-yard kickoff return at Syracuse. He is also one of the leading punters in the conference with an average of 47 yards per kick. **PROBABLE KANSAS** starters will be Lukinac, left end; Dick Davis, left tackle; Dick Rohlf, left guard; Fred Hageman, center; Boydston, right guard; Ken Fitch, right tackle; Sam Simpson, right end; Morris, quarterback; Hadl, left half; Curtis McClinton, right half, and Doyle Schick, fullback One of the biggest threats to spoil the Kansas home opener will probably come from halfback Paul Cancro, the team captain who, according to the KU scouting report, hits the line like a semitruck. Cancro is also considered by the coaching staff as one of the best defensive men on the BU team. JOHN FARLAND, another promising BU back, will call the signals tomorrow for the Terriers. The sophomore quarterback carried the ball five times for 51 yards last week as Boston lost to George Washington 18-14. The Terriers have a solid line averaging about 220 pounds. Holding down the left side will be last season's top receiver, Gene Prebola, the leading Boston candidate for All America honors. University Daily Kansan Page 5 Probable Boston starters are Probola, left end; Bob Minihane, left tackle; Bill DiLorenzo, left guard; Bob Marques, center; Len Pare, right guard; Paul Manganaro, right tackle; Par McCue, right end; Farland, quarterback; Dick Desmarais, left half; Cancro, right half, and George Bradley, fullback.

In 1941, Dr. Forrest C, "Phog" Allen, Kansas' great bas- Al Thompson and This forecast, coupled with the fact that KU had in the previous five years undergone disappointing seasons, put a damper on the football booster's hopes. Kansas ended its first ten years on the gridiron with an all-victorious team. Under the leadership of Fielding Yost, who later produced championship teams at Michigan, KU conquered such opponents as Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska to compile an overall 10-year record of 54 wins, 18 losses, and two ties. However, things weren't so rosy for the Jayhawks in the years to come. And if this wasn't enough, Coach Gwinn Henry stated the following season: are back with music in that just-so-right, danceable style "I've never seen anything like it. I don't have any reserves at all" IN THE LATE '40s, Kansas rebounded to its former position as a football powerhouse, and vaulted into the national spotlight with an excellent season and a trip to the Orange Bowl. Although losers in that New Year's eve encounter, the winning tradition continued at KU through the early '50s. Two years of good football but un-impressive records followed, as Kansas rebuilt its gridiron program. Now, in 1959, fans hope the Jays are ready. The return of spirited football and the Kansas tradition is welcomed by all. THE JAYS The 1953 season was disastrous and set the precedent for the next three.
