'Outmanned' KU Batters Frogs

What more can be said about KU's opening game in the "Greatest (Home) Schedule in History?"

Pre-game Consternation:
"Sure, Hadl's good, but he's never played quarterback before."
"OK, so we got a great backfield, but they ain't going noplease with those pygmies up front."
"That _big All America tackle TCU's got will skin us before the first quarter's over. Watch for him, his name is Lilly."
****
Result:
Hadi handles ball for first time in QB career; fails miserably, gaining only two yards. Improves somewhat on second try; gets 52 yards and touchdown on sneak through center.
At game's end, all doubts vanished.
The line, outweighed by 20 pounds per man, forgot same and gleefully pounced on anything in a white shirt.
TCU man with ball sometimes allowed to pass line of scrimmage to have short-lived look at what open field is like before being smothered by blue.
Who's Lilly?
Post Game Jubilation:
Coach Jack Mitchell tried to subdue his elation somewhat in the locker room after the game. But it was hard to hold back.
Streams of well-wishers pressed forward to shake his hand and ask what he thought about his underdog's performance.
Uproarious laughter and shouting filled the dressing room as players pounded each other's bare backs. Some just walked around grinning and shaking their heads in disbelief at the results of the previous three hours work. Others spontaneously broke into cheers.
"What can I say . . . just look at that score," he said, then burst into laughter.
---
Chancellor Wescoe popped in to congratulate Mitchell and was greeted with stacatto shouts and a vigorous hand pumping from the young coach.
"I told you I wanted to be inaugurated undefeated, and by gosh Jack, you did it." Dr. Wescoe said. "That was great."
Coach Mitchell kept beaming and pumping.
"Well, I just think we had them outmanned," was his reply to a question on why KU's line was so successful in stopping their highly touted opponents.
"But, Jack," sputtered one reporter incredulously, "how can you say outmanned when they (TCU) were so much bigger?"
"Well, our boys had more speed and you might say they were deser- petely reckless out there," he ex- plained. "This was the difference. They were willing to make any sacrifi- tice to win, and they did."
"At least one thing about today, we know we're not going to lose more than nine games."
He ended with the usual coach's cautious pessimism;
The Jayhawks went into the game with a 2-12-3 win-loss-tie record and had not beaten the Horned Frogs since 1952. This was the 18th game in the traditional opening series between the two schools.
