Mitchell Sees Orange As Rough Opponent
By Warren Haskin
"We will be facing one of the strongest teams in the East this Saturday at Syracuse," head football coach Jack Mitchell said today.
"We'll probably take more physical punishment than we did down in Fort Worth against Texas Christian last Saturday." Coach Mitchell added.
THIS SUMS UP the feeling of most of the Jayhawker followers. Kansas will be up against a line that averages over 218 pounds and has the speed to go along with it.
Kansas will use the same starting line-up it sent against TCU last weekend according to Coach Mitchell. Probable starters will be: John Peppercorn, left end; Richard Davis, left tackle; Richard Rohlf, left guard; Fred Hageman, center; Joe Spurney, right guard; Ken Fitch, right tackle; Dale Remsberg, right end; Duane Morris, quarterback; John Hadl, left half; Curtis McClinton, right half, and Doyle Schick, fullback.
Kansas is in good shape for the game and the coaches are hoping that the same statement will be made next week before the home opener against Boston U. Again a big load will be carried on the shoulders of the sophomores.
later proved not a record, showed that this Lawrence halfback will be one of the bright spots in the KU lineup.

THE JAYHAWKERS have much better depth in the line this year with a number of sophomores moving up. The major problem is the backfield where, outside of the starters, Kansas doesn't have enough depth to be rated as even a close match for the Syracuse team.
Coach Mitchell predicted last night in a Daily Kansan interview that he thought KU would probably be subdued by the Orange by three or four touchdowns.
There is a strong possibility that Kansas will take to the air more and utilize the passing arm of Lee Flachsbarth and Larry McCallister, two promising sophomore quarterbacks.
ONE OTHER EXPECTED bright spot for the Kansans is the kicking foot of John (Stump) Suder, who booted the extra point for the Jayhawkers in their opening game and is considered to be a serious field goal threat.
Two top Kansas men, tackle DeWitt Lewis and fullback Fred Bukaty, who were bothered with injuries last week, have been working out on the second team this week and are expected to be ready for action Saturday against Syracuse.

Coach Easton Has High Hopes For Another Big Eight Crown
Track mentor Bill Easton said today that he has high hopes for another Big Eight conference cross-country track championship this season but that the Jayhawkers will have a tough row to hoe to gain their 13th consecutive conference crown.
"The odds are beginning to stack up against us," Coach Easton said. "We have won the championship 12 consecutive years and have won the individual championships 11 of those 12 years."
"Another thing is that we are not as good as we have been in the past losing among others, Berry Crawford, the captain of last year's team who graduated.
"What's more we lost the Big Eight conference freshman postal 2-mile run for the first time in many years last season."
Coach Easton stated that he expected Oklahoma State to offer the most competition against the mighty Jawhackers, who are as highly considered nationwide in track as Oklahoma is in football.
Miles Eisenman, last year's cross-country runnerup, will be the mainstay in the Oklahoma State team and will be backed by an impressive bundle of rookies.
The Jayhawkers return five lettermen from last year's championship crew in Tom Skutka, Billy Mills, Captain Brian Travis, Dan Ralston and Clif Cushman. Also returning are non letter winners Jack Henry and Paul Dozier.
Kansas will open its fall schedule
October 10 at Lawrence against Missouri. Other dual meets with Chicago University, Arkansas and Oklahoma are scheduled before the conference championships here Nov. 7.
Coach Easton said that tryouts are being held after 3 o'clock daily in Memorial Stadium for anyone interested in competing on the varsity level.
Athletics Rest After Victory
DETROIT — (UPI) — The Kansas City Athletics enjoy a day off today before heading into Cleveland Friday for a three-game series with the second-place Indians.
Home runs by Bob Cerv, Lou Klimchock and Roger Maris powered the Athletics to the win, snapping a four-game losing streak. Maris' poke came in the seventh inning with two mates aboard to highlight a five-run rally.
The A's closed out their 1959 series with the Detroit Tigers here yesterday by rallying from a 5-1 deficit to post a 7-6 victory.
The Athletics wind up the season Sunday in Cleveland. Bud Daley, Johnny Kucks and Ned Garver are ready to handle the pitching chores for the A's. Cal McLish, Gary Bell and Jim Perry are expected to hurl for the Indians.
Transfers Will Bolster Kansas Swimming Team
The new KU swimmers are Larry Tracy, Ponca City, Okla., sophomore who transferred to Kansas from Houston; Mike Calwell, Lake Forest. Kan., a sophomore who spent last year at K-State, and Robert Radar, Bakersfield, Calif., sophomore from Bakersfield junior college.
Three new transfer students are expected to bolster the Kansas swimming team in the future although they are not eligible for freshman or varsity competition this season.
Calwell was one of the outstanding freshman in the conference last year and like Tracy and Rader, will not be eligible to compete for Kansas until next year.
Rader is an excellent freestyle sprinter who has a previous best time that would have won the 100-yard freestyle in the Big Eight conference last season.
Tracy has continually set times in the breaststroke that would place him second in the conference in that event only to Gordon Collet, NCAA champion from Oklahoma.
Several promising freshman candidates have also enrolled at Kansas and are expected Monday afternoon when swimming drills begin.
The fresh squad candidates are Paul Devero, Kansas City; Max Freeman, Springfield, Mo.; Ludy Harmon, Ponca City, Okla.; John Heisey, Oak Park, Ill.; Kep Kepner, Wichita; Gene Lee, Wichita; Bill Murdock, Webster Groves, Mo.; Bob Schneider, Topeka; George Tiller, Wichita, and Jeff Komenda, Kansas City.

Dodgers Tie Braves
By United Press International
It's all tied up again, but don't go away—someone's gotta win that National League Pennant soon.
Forget about those first 151 games and keep an eye on the next three. They should settle something.
The battling Dodgers knotted up the whole business again when they climbed into a first-place tie with the Braves by blanking the Cardinals, 3-0. Milwaukee lost sole possession of the league lead by bowing to Pittsburgh, 5-4.
And the stumbling Giants practically bowed out with a 9-8 loss to the Cubs in 10 innings. It was the slumping San Francisans fifth straight defeat and it put them two games behind both the Dodgers and Braves.
Each of the three contenders has three games remaining. The odds are still with the Braves, first because they play their last three games at home and second, because the games are with the last-place Phillies.
The Dodgers play their last three at Chicago, and the Giants their final three at St. Louis.
Roger (Skinny) Craig was the man who pitched Los Angeles up to
the top rung with Milwaukee. He limited the Cardinals to five hits last night for his 10th victory in 15 decisions.
Los Angeles got to loser Bob Miller for one run in the first inning on Charlie Neal's double and Duke Snider's single. That was all Craig really needed but he got two more runs in the eighth on Don Demeter's pinch double with the bases full.
Bob Skinner and Ronnie Kline of the Pirates put the brakes on the Braves, who had won 13 out of 16 before last night.
