University Daily Kansan SPORTS Sophs Bolster Orange Squad
Coach Ben Schwartzwalder feels that he has ten very good first year men to fill the spots vacated by graduated seniors. His hopes are so high that he feels that at least four of them may start before the season has progressed very far.
An outstanding contingent of sophomores in addition to a solid group of experienced men will face the Jayhawkers Saturday in their battle with the Syracuse Orangemen.
The most promising of the sophis is fullback Ernie Davis, Syracuse is hoping that he will achieve at least the same amount of success as did the great Jimmy Brown—who was the outstanding player in the National Football League last season. Davis, a former high school All America, is six feet two inches tall, and weighs 205 pounds. He is said to be "big, strong, and fast."

This group of sophomores must be as good as expected if they are to crack the starting line-up of the losers of this year's Orange Bowl game.
The Orange line, seventh in the nation last year on defense, allowing only 6.6 points per game, has a stalwart pair of guards, Roger Davis and Bruce Tarbox as its standouts.
Last season was one of the best in Orange history and the only reason why this year couldn't be as good or better is the quarterback situation. Gerhard Schweded, last year's leading rusher and receiver, will probably be switched from halfback to the signal-calling role to fill graduation gaps.
With the exception of Davis, the remainder of the backfield is composed of lettermen.
Mitchell Lauds Hadl During Club Meeting
Head football coach Jack Mitchell lauded sophomore quarterback John Hadl last night in a quarterback club meeting at Kansas City.
Hadi, 19, scored the only Kansas touchdown during last Saturday's 14-7 loss to Texas Christian on a 98-yard gallop after intercepting a pass. In addition he made several gains from scrimmage and got off some good punts.
"He played a mighty good football game," Coach Mitchell said. "He was especially good defensively and that pass interception was our big play of the night.
"Hadl is one of the best boys we have as he excels at running, throwing and kicking. He can do anything for you and he also is above average in baseball and basketball too."

Coach Mitchell said that he believed that TCU was looking toward LSU and that the Horned Frogs didn't seem worried about Kansas. The Texans take on national champion Louisiana State Saturday while Kansas is tackling eastern power Syracuse.
"Svacuse is going to be harder to beat than TCU," Mitchell said. "This is their first game and they were able to scout us last week. We don't know anything about them and they will be keyed up for us after our showing against Texas Christian."
Other Big Eight conference action on tap this week will see Kansas State at South Dakota State, Missouri at Michigan, Baylor at Colorado, Nebraska at Minnesota, Oklahoma at Northwestern, Iowa State at Denver and Oklahoma State at Arkansas.
