"Oh. Yeah?"
Iowa Battles KU
A big, tough, fast, experienced Iowa team which is capable of substituting without loss of ability hosts the Kansas Javhawks Saturday.
Mitchell said, "Almost all of the Big Ten teams are huge physically, and have good depth. Iowa is no exception."
The KU coach said Iowa is probably faster overall than the Jayhawks, and this coupled with their far superior size would put KU at a disadvantage.
Defensively Mitchell considers Iowa to be stronger than last season, but "not quite as good against the run."
This could be important if the KU backs run to their ability. Mitchell said the Iowa pass defense was quite good. But, both Wisconsin and Purdue have passed successfully against Iowa.
Frosh Tie K-State
KU's freshman football team battled the Kansas State yearlings to a 0-0 deadlock yesterday in Manhattan.
Asked how the Jays feel about the game in light of the recent probation placed on Kansas, Mitchell said, "I really don't know. How we will respond is a big question in my mind. On a good day we would be all right, but Saturday, I just don't know."
Iowa captain Jerry Mauren was named by the Associated Press this week as the "Midwest Back of the Week." The other halfback for Iowa is speedy Larry Ferguson. Joe Williams, the man who saved the Hawkeyes against Michigan State, is the bruising fullback.
Iowa quarterback, Wilburn Hollis has been named on some All America selections which have come out during the season.
In the line, Iowa, who is coached by Forest Evashevski, has Felton Rogers and Bill Perkins at ends. Charles Lee and Alfred Hinton at tackles, Mark Mauders and Sherwyn Thorson at guards and Bill Van Buren at center.
KU-Oklahoma in Dual Cross Country Meet
The Oklahoma Sooner Cross Country squad, featuring the 1958 Big Eight conference champion, will meet the Kansas Jayhawks tomorrow morning at 11 in a dual cross country meet at the Lawrence Country Club.
"The Sooners have a great outfit with Hodson, the former conference champion," head Kansas track coach, Bill Easton said today. "However I don't think they are as good as last year."
The Big Eight conference race over the regulation three-mile course will follow the eastern regional high school cross country meet.
At 10 o'clock two full teams and team members from five other high schools will compete in the regional "B" division championship. Participants from 17 high schools and 16 full teams in the regional "A" division will compete starting at 10:30.
Casey Sparkles In 'New League'
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Chorus boys danced, pretty girls posed, Perry Como sang softly in his easy fashion and the man jittering in the background thumbed his script nervously.
"This," grunted Casey Stengel, "is a new league for me."
Knitting as unconcernedly as if this was a mid-week game in July against the Athletics, Mrs. Stengel looked up and suggested pointedly that Stengel sit down.
Casey looked like he was working, too, as he participated in the rehearsal for the Como show on NBC-TV Wednesday, Nov. 2. Off in another corner, Elroy Face and Hal Smith, two of the Pittsburgh Pirates who contributed to Casey's World Series downfall, solemnly watched the dancers.
The two Pirates were relaxed. By now this was becoming old stuff because they have had a guitar and song act since the Series and even made some commercials.
"It's different with me." Casey whispered. "I was hoping they'd let me ad lib but they tell me it's only an hour show. Uh oh, guess I'm on pretty soon. This is bad."
By Bill Sheldon
For the second time this season the Jayhawks will face the nation's top team according to national polls. Iowa will host KU in one of the two non-conference games involving Big Eight teams.
The other non-conference opponent is Minnesota, which is highly favored over Kansas State.
The big game on the conference schedule pits Oklahoma and Colorado.
Colorado Over Oklahoma
At first glance the squads appear to be evenly matched. The only reason to be hesitant in picking Colorado is that ever present jinx which the Sooners have held over their league opponents for the past fourteen years.
A winner must be picked, so, hopefully, the final score will be Colorado 21, Oklahoma 13.
The other game in conference play which should be very close will be the Oklahoma State-Iowa State tussle.
The Cyclones started their season with three straight wins but since the loss of offensive star Dave Hoppman and the defeat to Kansas, I-State hasn't shown as well as expected.
Oklahoma State Over Iowa State
If O-State isn't too downhearted by this time, they should have too much defensive power for Iowa State to overcome.
A reasonable prediction for this one is, Oklahoma State 14, Iowa State 7.
In the third conference tilt, Missouri will try to extend its six game streak against the inconsistent Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Unless the host Huskers are "higher than a kite" for this game, the Tigers should have no trouble whatsoever in maintaining their tie for the Big Eight leadership.
The prediction for the final in this one is, Missouri 35, Nebraska 7.
Minnesota Over K-State
The one game involving a Big Eight member which doesn't appear to be at all even is the K-State-Minnesota game.
A casual glance shows the Gophers to be without any doubt the better team. Nothing more than the obvious is needed to pick Minnesota to beat Kansas State, 42-0.
Iowa Over Kansas
Kansas faces Iowa in Iowa City. The Jayhawks are badly in need of a spirited win to get them back on the trail, and ready themselves for the final three conference games.
There seems to be no doubt Kansas coach Jack Mitchell will be trying nearly everything in an effort to beat the Hawkeyes.
It is only with complete reservation that the prediction goes against KU for the first time this season. Iowa appears to be the superior physical football team. The big hope for the Jayhawks lies in their mental attitude.
On the basis of Iowa's record—Iowa 28, Kansas 14.
