Jayhawk Defense, Passing Humbles Nebraska, 31-0
Head coach Jack Mitchell sat in one corner of the KU locker room puffing contentedly on a cigarette following the Jayhawk 31-0 victory over Nebraska Saturday.
"It was the best game of the year for us," he grinned. "In fact it was the best game we've had since I've been here."
Between greetings to friendly well-wishers, he praised the play of any Jayhawk player who was mentioned, with special commendation for the passing of quarterback John Hadl and the receiving of halfback Curtis McClinton and end Sam Simpson.
He praised the mental attitude of the Kansas players and said his team was "ready to play" against the Cornhuskers. However, the look of contentment disappeared as he expressed his concern that the high mental stage the Jayhawks had reached for Nebraska might slacken for the final two games against Colorado and Missouri.
Many of Mitchell's comments concerned sophomore halfback, Hugh Smith, who replaced injured Bert Coan, in Saturday's contest. The 210-pound reserve led KU in rushing with 45 yards on ten carries. He completed one of two passes and gathered in a pass for five more yards.
Although frequently criticized for its vulnerability, the Kansas defense showed the crowd of 28,000, outstanding line play and a blanketlike pass defense.
KU held Nebraska to a meager 16 yards on 18 attempts in the first half. The Cornhuskers could gain only 26 yards on the ground the entire afternoon with 23 of these coming in the final period against the KU reserves.
Offensively, Mitchell praised the Jayhawk aerial attack directed by John Hadl. Hadl personally completed 9 of 11 passes for 69 yards

while Smith, Roger McFarland and Bill Crank chipped in for three more. The Jayhawk passing completion total was 12 for 15, totaling 102 yards.
As evidenced by the score, the Jayhawks not only controlled the game scoring but also controlled the ball. They were forced to punt once while the Cornhuskers kicked five times. KU had 75 plays from scriffmage with scoring drives of 29, 77, 55, and 52 yards. Nebraska had possession of the ball only 45 times with their longest march, 28 yards, coming in the fourth quarter against the Kansas second unit.
High scorer for KU was John Su-
der whose 31-yard field goal in the first period, the seventh in his career, broke a KU record for most field goals set by Bill Weidlein in 1912-1913. The score left Suder only two short of the Big Eight mark of nine, held by Ben Grosse of Kansas State. The four extra points gave him a total of seven points for the game.

Geese Eat Up
MADERA, Calif. — (UPI) - California farmers used 175,000 to 200,000 geese this year to clean grassy annual and perennial weeds from their fields, Madera farm adviser Clarence Johnson said.
He said geese are saving growers as much as $50 per acre compared to hand labor and chemicals. All geese are good weeders, he said, but the White Chinese breed is most efficient.
