Syracuse looms as the next obstacle as Kansas continues what has been so far a highly successful season. But even a win Saturday wouldn't mean that the entire season would be a success as there are seven more games to be played.
Because of the bruising type of football which Syracuse employs head Kansas coach Jack Mitchell said, "one of the main things that worries me about playing a team like Syracuse is the physical beating that our team could absorb." This possible punishment that the Hawkers may receive could have a specific bearing upon the following game against Iowa State and the games that follow it.
Mitchell has a great deal of respect for the Iowa State team and the Cyclone record thus far backs up his concern. I-State is the present
statistical leader in the Big Eight. In achieving this, the Cyclones have trounced two opponents, Drake and Detroit. Neither team proved to be much opposition but because of their offensive threat, they must be considered dangerous foes.
If KU had to play Iowa State with the handicap of extensive injuries from this week the chance of winning easily or even at all would be lessened considerably.
But no matter what happens against Syracuse or Iowa State there is no letup for the Jayhawkers. A typically good Oklahoma squad is next.
There will undoubtedly be a great deal of championship pressure to contend in the game with the Big Red. This means that no matter how good the Oklahoma team turns out to be (they lost their opener to
European Star Leads KU Frosh
Yul Yost, former AAU All America volleyball flash from Ugoslavia, will lead the freshman squad when the KU volleyball team holds its annual varsity-freshman match at 7:30 tonight in Robinson Annex.
He represented teams which won national championships in Portugal and Puerto Rico as well as the National AAU championship in this country before enrolling as a freshman this fall.
Yost will be joined by a freshmantransfer squad of Bill Gamm, StanBond, Gary Evans, Jerry Salisbury, Dave Adler, Terry Meloan, BasukiTjokronegoro and Prent Roth.
In a reversal of the usual procedure, the freshman squad will be under the direction of head volleyball coach Kevin Jones. Dick Lee, All America from last year's KU team, will coach the varsity, made up of Bob Lockwood, Bruce Wells and Jim Husser, returning lettermen, and Dave Edgell, Abdul Barek, Bill Johnson, Van Hoisington and Jim Vise.
sixth ranked Northwestern), the awesome thought of downing the Sooners and possibly wrestling from them The Big Eight title is enough to worry any team.
Oklahoma State which follows Oklahoma on the Jayhawk schedule may be the only chance that KU will have for a breather. O-State has opened its season with two defeats but the young squad will grow stronger with experience. Also, this is the first season for the Cowpokes in the league and they will therefore be trying hard to break in as successfully as possible.
Iowa, who is presently eighth in the nation, according to pollsters, offers the Jays a break from the conference race but nothing more. Their rank shows that the Hawkeyes are once more a power to reckon with. Whenever a team has the task of playing a member of the Big Ten they can count on a rough afternoon.
An unpredictable Nebraska team that has shown capabilities of doing almost anything will get the Hawks back into conference play. The real strength of the Cornhuskers is not yet known, but Coach Bill Jennings is famous for upsets.
Homecoming this year has Colorado as the Kansas opponent. Λ-though the Golden Buffaloes started this season with a loss to Baylor they have one of the top passers in the nation in Gail Weidner
The final game is with Missouri not comment needed here.
KU quarterback John Hadd ranks high in two national football statistical departments according to the first NCAA listings.
Hadl Ranks High On First NCAA List
The talented Lawrence junior is currently in ninth place in the race for the national punting crown. Last year he was the nation's best in this department
Hadl also is riding in 12th position in individual rushing with 154 net yards. Sophomore halfback Eert Coan is just a yard behind Hadl in 13th place.
As a whole Kansas ranks seventh in total defense with 127 yards, ninth in rushing offense with 291.5 yards, eighth in pass defense with 23 yards, and third in punting on Hadl's 43 yards.
Tops All Around
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — (UPI) — Syracuse, the nation's No. 1 college squad last season, led the major team offense with an average of 451.6 yards per game and topped the defense with a yield of 962 yards per game.

Mills May Miss Missouri Meet
Kansas distance ace Billy Mills missed the second cross-country time trial of the season with a pulled Achilles tendon and may not be ready for the season's opener against Missouri, Oct. 8.
Bill Dotton, a Jayhawk veteran, won the affair over a soggy three-mile flat course.
Kirk Hagen was second with Bill Hayward, Bob Lindrud, Ted Ressinger, Dave Kyner and Dave Kirkman finishing in that order.
"Because of Mill's injury and sickness we didn't look very good," coach Bill Easton said. "We are going to have to pick up a lot before we meet Missouri."
SO I SAID TO HIM, "WELL, WHY DON'T YOU BUY YOUR 1961 JAYHAWKER THEN?" AND HE SAID, "WELL, I'M AFRAID!" I SAID "THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FILL OUT THE IBM CARD WHEN YOU PAY YOUR FEES!" AND HE SAID," IF I DO, WILL YOU STAND IN THE LINE WITH ME?" AND I SAID I WOULD.
NOW HE'S GOT A MOTHER COMPLEX ABOUT ME ...
