Kansas jumped back into the swirl of national football prestige for the first time since 1947 by whipping Missouri, 23-7. This was the climax of a season of dramatic wins and dramatic disappointments.
To Kansas' students and fans the most important factor throughout the season was the determination and spirit of this Jayhawker team. After trailing 14-0 at halftime against Big Ten leader Iowa, Kansas came back to play the Hawkeyes off their feet. Even the NCAA decision placing Kansas on probation, disspelling any thought of a post-season game, did not destroy the Hawkers' drive to the league championship. This was a Kansas team that didn't understand what it meant to be down for a game. The Jayhawkers played their best throughout the season.
Probably the most significant fact in looking at the record book is that Kansas ended Oklahoma's conference domination.
The last time that Oklahoma didn't win the championship was in 1947 when the Big Red tied the Jayhawkers for the title. To make this championship even more impressive is the fact that Kansas had not won a clear cut crown since 1930.
The victory at Missouri was a necessity for Kansas. If the Tigers had won, it would have been the first time that Missouri had ever been ahead of Kansas in the all-time series. As it is, Kansas still leads — 31-30-8. And this was the first Kansas win in Columbia since 1946.
The NCAA probation is a penalty against a school for illegal recruiting. Kansas felt the sting of that probation. Despite the conference flag and one of the top teams in the nation, the Jayhawkers will not be able to play in a post-season game.
But a consolation thought for Kansas fans came from a Colorado fan during the Jayhawkers 34-6 win over the Buffers; "Td sure take a year of probation to be able to have a runner like that Coan (halffback Bert) around for two more years."
Kansas Coach Jack Mitchell must be given a lion's share of the credit despite his claims that the team and the school enthusiasm are the reason for KU's success. It was only a few years ago that Kansas State drubbed the Jayhawks and disappointment reigned at every Kansas home football game. Mitchell, in three years, has brought the Jayhawkers to national prominence and to a conference championship.
Jayhawks Rated Fourth On First Basketball Poll
The Kansas Jayhawkers recently have been ranked among the top basketball teams in the nation in the pre-season United Press International poll.
Coach Dick Harp's Hawkers were picked as the fourth best team in college circles in the poll which is made among 35 of the nation's top coaches. KU received 157 votes to place comfortably ahead of its Dec. 17 opponent, North Carolina, who was fifth with 137 votes.
The leader on the poll was Ohio State. The Buckeyes, winners of last year's NCAA national championship, totaled an almost perfect score of 347 out of 350 votes and 33 first place votes.
The next team in the listings was Bradley. The Braves who won the country's second largest major college post-season tourney, the National Invitational Tournament in New York City, move into the position which fellow Missouri Valley team, Cincinnati, held last season.
Rated just ahead of Kansas were the Indiana Hoosiers who are the major threat to Ohio State's dominance of the Big Ten.
Indiana was well ahead of the Jays,
having received 202 votes.
Completing the top ten were Utah, Utah State, St. Bonaventure, Auburn and Kentucky.
Aside from North Carolina, other KU opponents who were included in the rankings were St. John's, 11th, Kansas State, 15th, and Oklahoma, 40th.
The mention of the three Big Eight teams coincides with a recent vote taken by the coaches of the conference squads.
Kansas was unanimously picked to repeat as league winners with Kansas State, a close second and the Oklahoma Sooners, third.
The coaches' poll was completed in the following order: Iowa State, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Nebraska.

Doyle Schick
Schick Awarded Ormand Beach Memorial Trophy
Three outstanding members of the Kansas Jayhawks were honored along with the other members of the Big Eight championship squad last night at the annual KU football dinner-dance sponsored by the Lawrence Quarterback Club.
Senior fullback Doyle Schick, who will play in the annual Blue-Grav All-Star game next month, received the Ormand Beach Memorial Trophy which signifies the player voted as the most outstanding individual by his teammates.
Fred Hageman, senior center, who placed second in the Beach Trophy voting, was the recipient of the Mike Getto Top Lineman Award. Hageman will also appear in a post season all-star contest, the East-West Game in Los Angeles.
The Art Weaver Scholarship Trophy, which is presented to the top senior athlete-scholar, went to guard-end Joe Spurney.
Goad May Join Texas Tech Staff
Kansas may soon lose assistant football coach, line boss Bobby Goad, to Texas Tech.
The KU assistant coach is one of the top prospects for the position vacated by Texas Tech head coach DeWitt Weaver who resigned last week.
"Texas Tech has a commitment to another man (an unnamed assistant coach presently on the staff)." Good said, "but if you can get
Eobbv Goad
around that commitment, I feel I have an excellent chance for the job."
Goad was an assistant at Texas Tech prior to coming to Kansas. He was there with head KU coach Jack Mitchell in 1951-52.
"I have been interested in the job ever since I was there as an assistant. I liked the set-up there and the potential at Texas Tech is very good." he said.
Goad, who has aided Mitchell in the development of the Kansas football program during the past three years to a position of national prominence, feels the possibility of becoming a head coach is a wonderful opportunity for him.
He said the official announcement will be made sometime before Dec. 9.
The other coaching positions which Goad has held were at Tulsa's Will Rodgers high school and Chickasha high school where he compiled a 44-12-4 record for six years.
If Goad moves into the position at Texas Tech, he will have one of the major coaching jobs in the nation. The Red Raiders have just recently become a member of the Southwest Conference and although their record in conference play has not been very good as yet, the opportunity affords an aggressive coach such as Goad the chance to build a football program which could easily be among the nation's best.
Goad is considered an excellent teacher of individual playing techniques and a determined eliminator of minor playing faults and a constant prodder for individual improvement. These qualities have shown in his work as the offensive line coach on the Kansas staff.
