LEADING SCORER for the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday was sophomore halfback, Bert Coan. Coan scored the first two Kansas touchdowns, scoring 12 points, to take the game's scoring honors. John Suder, Jayhawk kicking specialist, tallied 11.
Around the BIG 8
The results of the games played last weekend by Big Eight teams were about what was expected but a far cry from the auspicious beginning of two weeks ago.
THE JAYHAWKERS, led by quarterback John Hadl, halfback Bert Coan and the magic toe of John Suder, lost no time in showing the Wildcats their power and running ability.
THE COWBOYS of Oklahoma State threw a first half scare into Missouri when they scored on an unusual pass play. The Cowboys led at half time 7-6. The Tigers, however, came back in the second half to run up a 28-7 victory.
In a game played Friday at Detroit, Iowa State's sophomore flash Dave Hoppmann, scored three touchdowns and passed 51 yards for another to lead the Cyclones to a 44-21 lacing of Detroit.
THE NORTHWESTERN Wildcats scored in every period against the Oklahoma Sooners to rack up a 19-3 victory Saturday at Norman, Okla. The Sooner's Karl Milstead drew first blood in the first half on a field goal but the Wildcats came back with a touchdown to take the lead.
THE NEBRASKA Cornhuskers could not cope with the power and the aerial dexterity of Minnesota
as they went down to defeat 26-14. The Huskers, who surprised Texas last week 14-13, came back strongly in the second half but could not catch the Big 10 club.
Fumbles and intercepted passes helped trip the Colorado Buffalos as Baylor took advantage of the Colorado errors to romp to a 26-0 win.
It's New York and Pittsburgh in the World Series.
For the Pirates it is their first National League pennant in 33 years. For the Yankees, their 25th American League championship in their history and their 10th during Casey Stengel's 12-year tenure.
Thus, the Pirates will meet the Yankees in the World Series just as they did in 1927 when the Yankees drubbed them four in a row.
ALL YOUR CAR MAY NEED TO DRIVE LIKE NEW IS A NEW PART FROM
The series will open in Pittsburgh Oct. 5. After the second game in the Pirate park the teams will take a day off and resume play in Yankee Stadium Oct. 8 for the next three games. They will return to Pittsburgh for the final games.

In the win over the Wildcats, Kansas displayed some weaknesses which must be eliminated if KU is to maintain its high national ranking.
The durable front wall echoed its fine performance against TCU by completely overpowering the Wildcats' linemen at every opportunity.
The 41-0 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats at Manhattan left little doubt as to the direction the Jayhawks are heading. With their first conference victory, following a win over highly rated Texas Christian a week ago, behind them, the Kansas squad is fast picking up the momentum needed to carry them to the Big Eight championship and the Orange Bowl.
These were the words of Kansas head football coach, Jack Mitchell, before Saturday's Kansas State football game. Now that the Jayhawks have scored their second decisive victory, it looks as though the KU "tree" is not ready to be trimmed but is growing in stature.
By Bill Sheldon
The doubtful Kansas passing attack came to the front for the first time, and although used mainly as a weapon to contain the K-State defense, it appeared to be developing into somewhat of an offensive threat.
"A football team doesn't stay on the same level, it is like a tree, it either grows or is cut down."
"I'm not afraid to pass, but our running game is still far superior," Mitchell said.
Strong Pass Defense
Hawk Power Humbles K-State; Mitchell Eyes Syracuse Win
The previously untried KU pass defense also proved to be a stronger part of the over-all picture. K-State completed only seven of 19 passing attempts for a mere 40 yards. KU defenders intercepted four of these passes. Linebackers Jim Jarrett, Norm Mailen, Fred Hageman and Bill Burnison each picked off a stray KSU pass. All of these defensive gems led to a Jayhawker score.
In general the most impressive part of the KU game was the excellent defensive play. Kansas State totaled a meager 78 yards, with only seven yards rushing in the second half. At no time was Kansas in any danger of being scored upon.
K-State didn't get into the Hawker's half of the field until the last three minutes of the first half. The Cats penetrated KU territory only twice more, and both times as results of recovered KU fumbles.
New Rushing Record
Offensively, the Jayhawks, for the second consecutive week, set a new rushing record for Mitchell coached squads. The leaders in compiling the impressive 306 yard total were; Curtis McClinton with 91 yards, Bert Coan with 84 yards and John Hadi with 55 yards.
KU continually pushed its hosts from one end of the gridiron to the other. Hadl didn't have to depend upon his punting talent until well into the final quarter.
In scoring their final touchdown, the Jayhawks marched 87 yards. It was on this attack that Hadl showed well. He mixed up his offensive calls, completed three of four passes for 29 yards, and carried twice for 18 yards. Despite two penalties, KU scored in 12 plays, with Mailen easing over from the one.
Coan Scores Twice
Fumble recoveries by Mike Deer and Mike Fisher gave KU the opportunity to send sophomore Bert Coan across for the first two scores.
KU opened the scoring with Coan slashing into the end zone from the three yard line after Hadi had scooted from the 11.
Coan moved the ball from the K-State 34 in two plays for the second tally. He was stopped on the eight,
The third quarter saw the Hawks drive 75 and 37 yards for two six-pointers. The first drive included only two plays that covered more than ten yards as KU pounded its way to the one where McClinton scored through tackle.
The star of the second drive was reserve Hugh Smith. He moved the ball from the K-State 37 to the 19 in two plays and then caught a pass from Roger MacFarland from the 25 to the three. Jarrett scored easily on the next play.
but went through a large hole in the Wildcat line for the touchdown
Suder Ties Record
Suder's kicking performance tied a Big Eight record of two field goals in one game. Suder had done this once in 1958. Suder also tied a Kansas career mark of six field goals which was set in 1912-13 by Bill Weidlein.
Suder was second in KU's scoring for the day with 11 points. Coan led with 12.
Mitchell told his team during the week of drills before the game that if they could beat the Wildcats physically in the first quarter that winning would come much easier. Mitchell got what he wanted.
