Tackle Position Vulnerable Spot
One of the most vulnerable positions in the Kansas line will be the tackle spot due to the fact that the Jayhawkers are returning only two 1938 veterans, one of whom was a starter.
Returning are Stan Kirshman and Co-Captain Ken Fitch, who played the slot defenseally last season although listed at guard.
John Peppercorn, all-conference on the left side last year, was given a trial at halfback during spring training and early this fall but was later switched to an end position. Wingman and letterman DeWitt Lewis was then moved from end to tackle.
Kirshman worked up to the alternate eleven behind Peppercorn last year and is expected to meet conference standards at the position Backing up Lewis, Kirshman and Fitch will be Vanderbilt transfer Dick Davis, Wiffred Bales, Ed Alberg and Wallace Barnes.
Coach Jack Mitchell figures that two members of the quartet must deliver if the position is to become adequate. An early injury to any of them will probably see sophomore guards Larry Louseh and Duke Collins on standby duty.
Badgers, Purdue Big 10 Choices
CHICAGO — (UPI) — Experienced depth and some good quality performers make Purdue and Wisconsin the teams to beat in the Big Ten football race this fall.
Wisconsin was second to champion Iowa last year, losing only to the Hawkeyes and tying Ohio State, and Purdue was third, losing only to Wisconsin and tying Ohio State and Indiana.
This year Iowa and Ohio State have serious problems, while the Badgers and Boilermakers need only to solve minor problems to come out near the top.
Wisconsin's entire first string backfield returns. Coach Milt Braun lacks proven veterans at center, one end and one guard.
Purdue has a standout backfield, too, with fullback Bob Jarus the star. Last year coach Jack Mollen-kopf platooned two nearly equal teams, and this season he'll reap the harvest by having at least one fine eleven.
Iowa's major problem is at quarterback, where Olen Treadway, a rarely used understudy for two seasons, must take over.
If he succeeds, the Hawkeyes will be better than expected. Coach Forest Evashevski has two of his speedster halfbacks returning, Bay Jauch and Bob Jeter. Also back are fullback Don Horn, and standout ends Curt Merz, Don Norton and Jeff Langston.

Jayhawkers Capture NCAA Track Title
It was the first national title for KU, although Easton's teams have finished high for many years. KU had won two seconds, a third and a fourth during the previous four years.
Coach Bill Easton's Jayhawker track team captured the NCAA crown in the national meet at Lincoln, Neb. during June.
Kansas picked up three first places and scored in nine events for a total of 73 points. San Jose State was second with 48.1 points.
Houston finished third with 38,
followed by Oklahoma with 31.
Oklahoma State 22.1. Missouri finished
eighth with 19, and Kansas
State had 5.
Easton had high praise for Ernie Shelby, team captain, Charlie Tidwell, spinner-hurdler, and the entire Jayhawker squad.
"You can't say too much for the leadership of Shelby and the terrific showing by Tidwell."
"It was a supreme team effort that pulled us through," he said.
- Broad Jump—Shelby, first, 25-5.
- 400-Meter Hurdles—Clif Cushman, second, :51.3.

Grange Forecasts Bleak KU Opener
Red Grange, the galloping-ghost of Illinois backfield history, forecasts the results of the major football games to be played this Saturday in a special football issue of "Sports Illustrated" which will be on the newstands today.
On the Kansas-TCU game, Grange predicted:
"TCU warms up for the Southwest Conference jousting with a Kansas team which doesn't seem to have the power to dent that big Horned Frog forward wall.
"The Eyes of Texas will be watching, and they should get an eyeful as TCU wins its opening game."
In other predictions in the issue, Grange picked Navy over Boston College, Pittsburgh over Marquette, North Carolina over Clemson, Mississippi over Houston, Georgia Tech over Kentucky, Penn State over Missouri, Purdue over UCLA, and USC over Oregon State.
Kansas Fullback Corps One Of Powerful Spots on Team
Three returning lettermen, a green sophomore, and kicking specialist John Suder, make the fullback position the strongest point in the Kansas football plans.
The returning veterans are Dovey Schick, Fred Bukaty and Norm Maileen. Mike Fisher is the fourth hand who figures to get into action.
Schick was a savage blocker and corner defender through all ten games last year gaining 216 yards in 53 rushes on offense. He also quick-kicked for a 39.9 average to lead the team.
Bukaty improved considerable in spring practice and promises to give Kansas another dangerous running threat from that position. Malen handled the bulk of the punting duties last year, averaging 39.6 yards. Fisher will be mostly counted on for relief.
Suder toed three field goals last season, getting two of them in the 21-12 win over Kansas State and the other one in a 3-6 loss to Oklahoma State.
With the goal posts widened almost five feet, Suder will be an even more dangerous weapon for the Javhawkers this season, a fact which he demonstrated during spring practice with a range of over 30 yards. He will also be the No. 2 extra-point man behind quarterback Duane Morris.
