University Daily Kansan SPORTS Schick Hurts Ankle, May Miss K-State
KU's bruising backfield blocker, and consistently good ball-totter, senior fullback Doyle Schick, was added to the injured player list yesterday afternoon with a twisted ankle.
Head Coach Jack Mitchell didn't say very much about the mishap as far as how serious or deterrent the injury might be to the Jayhawk tricaptain. The play on which Schick was hurt was an end sweep. After he had been stopped, the 190 pound-wer was unable to get to his feet. After a few minutes he was able to limp into the locker room for treatment. It is still not known whether
Simpson Loses Battle With Breakfast Table
Getting up from the breakfast table is a minor task for most of us but it proved to be the final strain that put Jayhawker end, Sam Simpson, out of action until after Saturday's tilt with Kansas State.
Head football coach, Jack Mitchell, reported that Simpson's injury first became apparent as he got up from the breakfast table Monday morning.
As Simpson stood up he was strenken with muscle spasms in his leg. After closer inspection it was discovered that internal bleeding and other complications had developed.
Mills Winner In Trial Run
"We have a chance to have a real good team," commented Coach Bill Easton after clocking his first cross-country time trials for 1960.
"We have a small squad, but we were pleased with the opening performance. It will have to be better than that, but we can't kick at this point."
The opening derby was won by Capt. Billy Mills in 9:48, a second ahead of Bill Dotson, as the Jay-hawkers scaled a hilly two-mile course over the slopes of Mt. Oread.
The best play is the keeper with 250 pounds in front of you. —Swede Hanson.

With this crucial injury to Schick, Kansas is left without the much needed services of its first two full-backs. Second stringer, and also tricaptain, Fred Bukaty turned up lame after the TCU game with a bad knee. He is not expected to see action against rival Kansas State. The perplexed Mitchell now has the choice of either moving one of his halfbacks into the weakened fullback spot or promoting Norm Mailen from the third team.
ALL ARE WELCOME
Mitchell praised Mailen for his play during yesterday's drills.
But even with a competent reserve like Mailen filling the fullback spot the Jayhawks still will suffer in backfield depth.
Goad Lauds Line Against TCU
"We were hitting They were getting hit."
By Bill Sheldon
That's how Jayhawk line coach Bobby Goad described the play of Saturday's victory over Texas Christian.
"The boys in the line performed well throughout the game but looked especially outstanding on that long drive to our final touchdown," Goad said.
He declined to single out any individual as playing particularly outstanding ball, feeling that the line play was good by the entire team.
He praised the second team's front wall for an excellent job, saying, "There is very little difference between the first two units and this intense competition is good for the team."
In pre-season predictions, many felt that the Jayhawker end positions would be weak. Goad said, however, that the play of the ends was generally good but added that more trials in the aerial phase will be needed to test the ability of ends Sam Simpson, Larry Allen, Mike Deer and Andy Graham.
Defensive line boss, George Bernhardt, also was pleased with the performance of the line. Despite the great disadvantage of almost 20 pounds per man, the previously doubtful KU line outplayed their opponents. The main factors responsible for the far superior play of Kansas' interior men was their dazzling speed, defensive alertness, and instantaneous reactions to any situation.
Ex-KU Halfback on Staff

"The most noticeable difference between KU and TCU was the speed and quickness of the Jayhawk line." Mitchell said. He praised the work of such men as Dick Davis, Stan Kirshman, Larry Lousch, Elvin Basham, Benny Boydston, Jim Mills, Joe Spurney, Fred Hageman and Kent Staab for conditioning themselves superbly for the rugged season.
biggest lines they will face this year, the coaches are looking forward to the somewhat smaller, but faster Kansas State line.
Now that the Jayhawk front wall has proven itself against one of the
