Jack Mitchell Faces His Former Coach
Coach Mitchell
Jack Mitchell will face his former coach on an equal basis for the third time this Saturday when the Jayhawks host the perennial Big Eight champion Oklahoma.
Mitchell was one of the finest quarterbacks ever to play for Sooner coach Bud Wilkinson. The present Hawker boss played for the Sooners in 1946-1948. Wilkinson started as Oklahoma head coach during Mitchell's junior year. The
previous season he was the back-field coach.
Mitchell Was All America
Wilkinson taught Mitchell well, for he was an All America selection in his senior year. This was the year that Oklahoma walloped KU 60-7.
Just how good was Coach Mitehell while playing for his present rival Wilkinson? He still holds two Big Eight punt return marks, the record for most yards returned on punts against a Kansas team and holds eight various Oklahoma punt and kick-off marks.
"He's the best football coach in the country, I said it then, and I'll say
it now," is how Mitchell describes Wilkinson.
Coach Mitchell said his opinion of his former coach hasn't changed much through the years and he still feels that Wilkinson is a great football coach, one who has developed a tremendous tradition, and to beat a coach and tradition such as Oklahoma's is a great thrill and achievement. "But," Mitchell added, "it isn't done very often as is shown by the Sooner's record during the Wilkinson regime." Oklahoma has lost only 12 games under Wilkinson.
Kansas mentor Mitchell said he didn't feel much different about playing against his alma mater. He said this game would be important anyway.
There is another member of the Wilkinson coached teams of the late 1940's who will be matching wits against him Saturday. KU offensive line coach Bobby Good was Mitchell's teammate at Oklahoma under Wilkinson.
Highlighting yesterday's intramural schedule was Battenfeld's 1-0 overtime victory over Foster in the "A" division for the independents.
Phi Delta Theta, Battenfeld Win
The only other "A" division contest was a fast scoring win for Phil Delta Theta over Delta Tau Delta 25-12.
The only "B" fraternity game was Beta Theta Pi's rout of Phi Kappa Psi 24-0.
Today's Independent "A" schedule pits the Hicks against the Untouchables, Shyster against Templin, and Carruth-O'Leary against J. R. Pearson.
The "B" division play has Alpha Tau Omega against Phi Delta Theta # 2, and Acacia tackling Phi Kappa Tau.

The two which I missed were the Missouri-Air Force slaughter and the Oklahoma State breeze against Tulsa.
For the past two weeks I have been predicting the scores of the football games that involve Big Eight squads. I haven't been too successful as of yet, but if last Saturday's results mean anything, my percentage should be soaring as high as the Kansas Jayhawk's after this week's games are over.
The first week I voiced my opinion was an unfortunate case of the wrong teams winning. After picking the winners of five games I was right only twice. Mv choices of last week's battles were correct in four of the six games predicted.
As any loyal KU backer knows.
the Hawks won over Iowa State 28-14. My prediction was 24-13.
Another game that I was very close on was the Colorado defeat of Arizona. My prediction was 28-13, the final was 55-16.
The Nebraska 17-7 victory over Kansas State was very near the margin which I claimed. There was only four points difference as I picked the K-State score perfectly but was short on the winners total.
The Oklahoma loss to Texas was my worst as far as the score is concerned. I said it would be 14-10 but the Sooners weren't able to score and Texas was more powerful than I figured.
For the two week period of predicting I have a total of six right and five wrong for 55 per cent correct selections.
WRA Basketball Season Underway

Tonight at 7 Douthart meets Alpha Omicron Pi and the Jayettes face Kappa Kappa Gamma in the Women's Gym of Robinson Hall.
