Jayhawk Power Wins
By Bill Sheldon
AMES, Iowa - A powerhouse Jayhawk team swept past previously undefeated Iowa State Saturday 28-14. The Hawks scored twice in the first period and scored in each of the final two periods to offset a fine Cyclone offensive attack.
It was KU's grinding tactics that made the difference in the evenly played contest. KU has scoring drives of 66, 33, 35 and 77 yards for their touchdowns. On the last of these marches KU controlled the pigskin for almost nine minutes. It was this march which showed that the visitors were the superior team.
Coan Leads Power Plays
Kansas' final march took 17 plays to score. The longest gain of the drive was only nine yards when the workhorse of the march, Bert Coan, moved from the 16 to the seven two plays before he scored.
This series of plays featured good, basic football which was the tone of the entire game. The Jays did not attempt anything fancy against the somewhat smaller Cyclones. Almost every play was straight into the line. John Haddl at quarterback did an excellent job of mixing up his plays, moving the action from one side of the field to the other in perfect fashion.
Playing before the first sellout crowd in Iowa State history of 19,000
The first time the Hawks had possession of the ball they scored in only nine plays. The big gainer was a beautifully executed pass from Hadl to Curtis McClinton that moved KU from their own 43 to the I-State 20.
persons, KU showed they weren't suffering from any mental letdown as head coach Jack Mitchell had feared would happen, as they struck quickly for a 14-0 first quarter lead
It was the brilliant Hadl who smashed through the vulnerable Cyclone line for the tally.
Hadl Scores First
Dick Davis recovered a fumble by I-State's Tom Watkins on the ensuing kick-off, and the Jayhawks parlayed it into their second score.
It was another Hadl to McClinton pass that was good for 27 yards and the touchdown.
After the scoring pass, Kansas threw only once more, and that was intercepted.
Mitchell explained after the game that there was no reason for his club to have to resort to passing since they were in the lead throughout the game. He added he didn't want to pass because of the increased chance of losing the ball. This explained the reason for the grinding play of the Hawks.
"We were afraid to let them have a chance with the ball. They had the best offense we have faced this season." Mitchell added.
By Bill Sheldon
"That's a good team, a fine, clean football team."
This is how KU's 220-pound tackle Dick Davis described the Iowa State Cyclone football team. It was Davis who recovered a fumble to get KU the opportunity for their second score.
Davis's comment adequately summarized the play of the two teams throughout the game. There was only evidence of rugged, basic, fundamental football, something that is frequently hard to find in today's typically wide open game.
Fred Hageman was praised by many in the press box for his consistently fine play both on offense and defense.
Mitchell Praises Coan
In a post game chat, grey suited, cigar smoking coach Jack Mitchell mentioned Bert Coan as probably the best runner for the Hawks in Saturday's game. Coan was KU's second best rusher, totaling 65 yards on 14 carries and scored one touchdown.
But Mitchell wouldn't commend anyone for their defensive performance. Although Iowa State did have a very fine single wing attack, it seemed obvious that there was a definite weakness in the Kansas defense.
Almost at will the Cyclones were able to get consistent yardage through the KU defensive end and tackle positions. This has been one spot which every team Kansas has played this season has utilized to their own advantage as they pleased.
One reason the Cyclones may have been exceptionally effective running around the bulk of the Kansas defense was the absence of Curtis McClinton at linebacker. McClinton was bothered by an injured leg and was saved by Mitchell for offensive duty.
Last week Mitchell hinted that if Iowa State's Dave Hoppmann didn't play against KU it would be one of the biggest breaks that he has had since he has been coaching the Crimson and the Blue. He said that every other time his squads have played a good team KU's opponent has always had its most dangerous players at full strength.
Break for Javhawks
Mitchell's wish came true and the Cyclone offense was obviously
Let's just hope that this type of good fortune continues to aid the Jayhawks as they inch their way through the remainder of their rugged Big Eight schedule as KU hopes to be represented in the Orange Bowl.
hindered by the loss of their national offensive leader.
Kansas is presently leading the league with a two-win no-loss record.
This Saturday KU faces the champion of the Big Eight for the past 14 years, the once mighty Oklahoma Sooners who have won only one game this season, and that by one point. They were completely outclassed Saturday by Texas 24-0. This means that Bud Wilkinson's squad will be doubly anxious to wallop the Hawkers, but as Mitchell said to the Jayhawks following the Iowa State victory, "Next week we are going to be the first Kansas team to beat Oklahoma in 10 years."
Hawks Face Oklahoma
- John Suder's four extra points against Iowa State lengthened his consecutive string to 23—14 in a row this season.
- The 20 yards that Doyle Schick gained against the Cyclones gave him a career total of 605 yards. The game was the 24th game in a row which the Lawrence senior has started for the Javhawks at fullback.
I guess coach Mitchell can be forgiven for the statistical error concerning the KU record with his alma mater as he was quite excited after skillfully coaching his championship hungry Hawkers to a convincing win.
Mitchell said one reason why the Cyclones looked impressive moving the ball was because of the ragged KU defense.
- Kansas now holds a 22-13 edge over Iowa State in their series. There have been five ties in the rivalry. The last time I-State won in Ames was in 1954 and their last win against KU was in 1957.
- ● John Hadl, last year's leading punter in the nation continued to raise his average, as he booted twice for a 45.5 yard per kick average.
- The win for KU was their seventh at Ames. They have suffered six losses on the Cyclone's home turf.
Watkins Leads Cyclones
- KU was out-rushed in the first half. 90 to 68 vards.
- The attendance at the game was estimated at 19,000 which was the first sellout in the history of Iowa State's Clyde Williams Field. The previous high was 17,392 in a 1954 game.
The big reason for the strong Cyclone offense was the spectacular running of senior fullback Watkins. He carried 23 times for 96 yards. The other I-State backs carried only 26 times for 62 yards. Watkins was a constant threat and was the only dependable runner that coach Clay Stapleton had. It was Watkins who scored both of the host's touchdowns.
Watkins was second in the nation in rushing last year and was third in the Big Eight going into Saturday's game.

The entire game was outstanding for its clean, hard football. There were only two penalties in the contest. Both were against KU in the fourth period.
The first came with about five minutes remaining to play. The miscue was a clipping infraction that nullified Roger MacFarland's fine run to the Iowa State 13. The penalty stopped what appeared to be another KU touchdown drive.
Mitchell was pleased with the scarcity of KU mistakes in the game. The Hawks fumbled only once, and had only one pass intercepted. The fumble occurred late in the second quarter and almost resulted in an I-State score.
Getting the oval on their own 47, the Cyclones moved to the KU two at the end of the half.
--ing for the Hawks. Chamberlain is dunking for the Warriors.
The one play that Mitchell cited as the most important was Fred Hagman's block of Cliff Rick's punk on the ISU 35 which Elvin Bashem recovered. This fine defensive play set up the Jayhawk's third score and gave them a 15 point lead midway through the third period.
Experts fdlt that Iowa State was at a great disadvantage since they were playing without the nation's offense leader, tailback Dave Hoppmann.
Hoppmann Is Missed
Stapleton tried five different players at the vacated position including fullback Watkins.
The big loss for the Cyclones resulted in the almost complete elimination of what had previously been an effective passing attack. The Cyclones did manage to complete five of the nine throws but only in the closing minutes of the first half did they come close to an aerial score.
KU intercepted three Cyclone passes.
Since there was no real passing threat from either team the play was concentrated in the line. Both teams used five-four defenses with their linebackers playing within two yards of the line of scrimmage.
Of the loss of Hoppmann for the game, Stapleton said, "You can't count on one player and expect to win a football game."
The capacity plus crowd was immediately deflated by the quick scores by Kansas. This early lead for the Hawks has been the pattern of their play as they have always been ahead going into the final period in the first four games this season.
Kansas City A's Sign Two Pitchers
KANSAS CITY—(UPI)The Kansas City Athletics announced the signing of two 18-year-old pitchers for action with clubs in the American League team's farm system.
The prospects are Ralph Gaylord McGuire of Lincoln, Neb., and Don Waters of New Florence, Pa.
McGuire was signed by Kansas City scout Joe Bowman for Albuquerque, N.M., of the Sophomore League.
Waters, an outstanding high school athlete in football, basketball, track and baseball, will report to Sanford of the Florida State League. He was signed by Joe O'Rourke, A's scout in the Philadelphia area.
KU Stars Meet Tonight As St. Louis-Phily Meet
Three of KU's greatest basketball players will perform in a National Basketball Association exhibition game tonight in Allen Field House.
Wilt Chamberlain, Clyde Lovelette and Maurice King will take the floor at 8 p.m. as the St. Louis Hawks face the Philadelphia Warriors. King and Lovelette are playing for the Hawks. Chamberlain is dunking for the Warriors.
Four Forfeits In Intramurals
Two close games and four forfeits were featured in intramural football play Friday.
In the fraternity "A" division action Beta Theta Pi edged Delta Upsilon 7-0 and Lambda Chi Alpha forfeited to Phi Kappa Psi.
Independent "B" division play had only one game that wasn't won as a result of a forfeit. That in tussle J. R. Pearson squeaked by the Delta Functions 6-0.
Forfeits in this division were: Ace Pearson over Templin No. 2, Templin No. 1 over Carruth-O'Leary Navy over J. R. Pearson No. 2.
In this afternoon's games Phi Gamma Delta meets Sigma Chi on field one, Alpha Tau Omega against Sigma Pi on field three and Sigma Alpha Epsilon battles Sigma Nu on field two in the fraternity "A" division.
The fraternity "B" division will have Phi Delta Theta playing Delta Tau Delta on field four while Sigma Chi takes on Theta Chi on field five.
Lovellette and Chamberlain played opposite each other many times during the NBA schedule last season. This is King's first year in the pro league.
While playing for the Jayhawks in 1950-51 and 1951-52, Lovellette set a Big Eight point scoring record of 1,379 tallies. The six-foot nine-inch shot artist led the Jayhawks to the NCAA championship in his senior year.
Chamberlain and King a six-foot-three-inch guard were teammates on the 1957 Kansas squad that finished as runner-up to North Carolina in the NCAA finals.
In the two seasons that "the Stilt" wore a KU uniform he totaled 1,433 points. This places him third in the all-time scoring records for the Big Eight. Chamberlain has grown since leaving Mt. Oread; he returns tonight standing seven feet one inch tall
King was the playmaker of the team in 1957. It was the combination of the outside shooting and ball-handling of King with the close-in tactics of Chamberlain that was responsible for the successful season of King's senior year. He received all-conference acclaim for his play while at KU.
