Kansas, Climbing Up Meets Falling Cats
The Jayhawkers travel to Manhattan Saturday for the traditional battle with the Kansas State Wildcats.
The first up and then down Wildcats appeared to be one of the surprise teams of the Big Eight conference three weeks ago. But of late have shown signs of weakening in the stretch.
The Wildcats had their homecoming spoiled by an inconsiderate band of ball players from Missouri two weeks ago. Following this, they were slaughtered by Oklahoma 40-6.
Meanwhile, Kansas, after a disappointing beginning, has shown signs of life since mid-October. The Tulane game, which the Jayhawkers won 14-9, was considered by many as the top performance of the season for KU.
The week before, Kansas showed remarkable defensive strength for three quarters, before bowing before Oklahoma's superior depth. The previous Saturday, the Jayhawkers won their first game, defeating Iowa State 7-0.
But past performances of the two clubs have proved to be of little value when the Kansas schools meet on the field. KU holds a 35-17 edge in 55 meetings of the traditional rivals. There have been three ties. The Jayhawkers won last year at Lawrence 13-7.
The Wildcats have moved the ball well all year, but have had difficulty in finding a scoring punch inside the 10 yard line. Kansas State stuck mostly to the ground in early season, but has gone to the air for considerable yardage in the last several games.
Against Oklahoma, the Wildcats were stopped cold on the ground, but went to the air for 160 yards against the Sooners. The only K-State tally came on a 16-yard pass from Les Krull to Ced Price.
K-State lacks depth, but shows good size and fair speed in the backfield.
Top back for the Wildcats is left half Ben Grosse, Grosse, a two-year letterman, has averaged over five yards a carry in each of the previous seasons. He has been the workhorse for the Wildcats this year. A senior, Grosse is fast and dangerous in the open field.
Another top back is fullback Tony Tiro. A junior, Tiro was instrumental in the Wildcats' victory over Nebraska.
Quarterback Krull is considered a better-than-average passer. He handles the team smoothly and is a top ball handler. Other K-State threats are speedy halfbacks George Whitney and Max Falk.
Center Dick Boyd has been the mainstay of the Wildcats' rugged but thin line. Boyd, a converted fullback, has been a defensive standout for K-State all season.
Other line standouts are guard Gene Meier, tackle Jaydee Stinson and end Jim Luzinski.
Jayhawks Can't Rest Now; Coach Predicts Tough Game
Assistant football coach Bobby Goad warned last night that KU can not live on its laurels after defeating Tulane.
"KU will have to play its best ball game of the season to beat Kansas State," he told members of the Lawrence Quarterback Club.
"We have to beat the other teams in the state in order to recruit the type of boys we want on our teams," he said.
"We were moving the ball and our defense was good. When you do that, you're going to win."
Lineman Ken Fitch and end Dale Remsberg will be back for the Kansas State game after being out of action with injuries, Goad said.
The Quarterback Club saw films of both the varsity and freshman games.
Freshman coach Don Fambrough said his team played the whole game against Kansas State without an injury or a substitution for a tired player.
The freshman team defeated Kansas State 36-21 Friday afternoon.
Japan Has 'Iron Man' Pitcher
Fambrough said he has moved several backfield men into the line in an effort to get some speed in the front wall.

Inno set the Japanese baseball world agom this month—and raised a few eyebrows in the rest of the baseball realm—when he pitched in six of the seven games of Japan's world series, and won four of them.
In this modern era of the lively baseball, when pitchers pamper their arms and demand at least three days of rest between starts, Japan has its own version of "iron man" McGinnity in 21-year-old Kuzuhisa Inao.
The amazing thing about this strapping "superman" is that the
"I'd rather have one good year with 30 victories than be content with 10 wins a season over a stretch of 10 years," Inao says.
oftener he pitches, the more effective he is.
Inao thrives on his work schedule of the past three seasons.
Inao's feat of winning four games in a best-of-seven series was unprecedented in Japanese baseball history. In all he worked 47 innings. (The United States major league record for innings pitched in a seven-game series is 32 by George Mullin of the Detroit Tigers in 1909.)
Kansas Players Happy About Tulane; Look Forward to Game With Wildcats
Two standout performers for Kansas in its 14-9 upset over Tulane Saturday were sophomore quarterback Bill Crank and sophomore fullback Doyle Schick.
Schick continually opened up holes in Tulane's line with his hard charging offensive play. He carried the ball eight times for 27 yards.
Leading the team in rushing with 44 yards in eight carries, Crank also intercepted three Tulane passes in the fourth quarter. This tied a school record for pass interceptions in a single game.
In addition to this Schick got off a 78-yard quick kick. It was nullified by a penalty. Another of his punts was a 48 varder.
"It was a good team victory and performance except for our five fumbles," Crank said. "The linemen rushed the Tulane
quarterbacks hard, which kept his passing off."
The Tulane game over, the team is now pointing toward the Kansas State game played at Manhattan next Saturday.
"If we have the right mental attitude, which I think we do, we can win," Schick predicted. "We are not going to be too confident next Saturday though, because we know Kansas State has a good team."
Hicks Beat Newman; Move Into Playoffs
The undefeated Hicks emerged as champions of their division in Independent football intramurals Monday by defeating Newman 26-0. This gives the Hicks a 4-0 record and moves them into the Independent playoffs next week. $ \textcircled{*} $
Beta Theta Pi I advanced in the Fraternity B championship playoffs by beating Phi Delta Theta II 7-0. Endacott hit Emerson on the scoring card. Colman converted.
Rocky Leiker scored the Hicks' first touchdown on a 50-yard pass from Bob Lockwood. The same combination clicked in reverse for the second touchdown with Lockwood scoring on a 40-yard pass from Leiker.
Bob Harper grabbed a 25-yard pass from Sonny Heatwole to run for the third score. After Kennedy tagged a Newman player in the end zone Rocky Leiker hit Heatwole on a 40-yard scoring pass.
Zeller scored 12 points for the Newman Club.
Theta Chi slipped by Tau Kappa Epsilon 6-0 in Fraternity A play. Bill Nickols scored for the winners.
Player to Med Center
Ron Michaels, sophomore on the Kansas football team, will undergo surgery at the KU Medical Center today.
Two weeks ago, Michaels injured his right shoulder in practice. He has seen varsity action as a tackle although listed as a halfback. Two days before he was injured Michaels was running at the second team end position.
The operation will shorten the ligaments so the shoulder won't come out of place again. Michaela will be in a cast for six weeks.

NCAA Report Shows Kicking Game Stays
NEW YORK—(UPI)—An NCAA survey of 323 college games played this year showed that the teams have been successful in 65.1 per cent of their kicking attempts, 50.2 per cent of their rushing and only 42.9 per cent of their passing attempts for extra points.
In last weekend's games, the coaches elected to kick for the extra point 60 per cent of the time,the report said.
The inventor of basketball, James Naismith, came to KU in 1908 as an associate professor of physical training and chapel director.
