Marshall Plunges by Petcitbon for KU Score
KansasTripsTulane With 14-9 Upset
Tulane's Green Wave, no more upsetting than a ripple in a goldfish bowl, provided smooth sailing for the Jayhawkers Saturday as the Kansans won 14-9.
The heralded Richie Petitbon, chosen the previous week's leading back for his performance in Tulane's 14-6 upset over Navy, failed to live up to his advance billing. The team failed with him.
Crank was the leading Kansas rusher. He ran for 44 of the 171 yards rushed.
Instead, the big man of the game came from the Kansas side of the field. He was Bill Crank, a sophomore quarterback who not only brought Kansas its second touchdown but intercepted three Tulane passes to make sure the Kansas 14-9 margin held up.
Kansas fans, who had only heard and never seen that the Jayhawkers had once scored a touchdown, were brought to their feet late in the first quarter when Larry McKown passed from the Tulane 43 to Marshall who was run out on the 16.
Five plays later, Marshall took a pitchout from McKown and ran the two yards around right end for a touchdown. Duane Morris kicked
the extra point. For the first time this season in Memorial Stadium, Kansas was ahead 7-0.
Ten minutes later, Perey Colon, Tulane's left half, ripped through the left side of the Kansas line from the 28 to give the Green Wave its first score. The running try for the extra point failed. The score was 7-6, Kansas.
A short Kansas punt set up the next Tulane score. Unable to move the ball any nearer than the Kansas 15 late in the first half, Tulane called in kicking specialist Howard Kisner.
His try for the field goal from 25 yards back was good, and Tulane led 9-7.
Then Crank took over and in 11 plays pushed 68 yards for the touchdown. With 40 seconds left in the half, he drove over from the 2-yard line for the touchdown. The extra point try by Morris was good, and Kansas led 14-9.
The second half found neither team able to move into a scoring position. Tulane took to passing in an unsuccessful effort to crack the solid Kansas defense.
The Green Wave rushed for only two yards in the second half. Petitbon and Phil Nugent picked up 118 yards on passes as compared to only 12 in the first half.
Freshman Quarterback Stars As KU Beats K-State 36-21
The Jayhawker freshman football team, playing in its first game Friday against K-State at Manhattan, jumped ahead early in the game and then let the Wildcats pull into a 14-14 tie at the half. Two long drives late in the fourth quarter brought the Jayhawkers back into the lead and gave them the game 36-21.
From then on, the Jayhawkers took over and the Wildcats were involved in a lost cause. Kansas drove 72 yards in a dozen plays to make the score 26-21. Another drive, this one for 57 yards, made the final score 36-21 after Flachsbarth ran for two extra points on the conversion.
Hadl also intercepted a K-State pass to make the final scoring move possible. Flachsbarth ran the final touchdown on an option play.
Flachsbarth showed his passing accuracy by completing seven of 10 attempts. He was responsible for all but 16 yards of the 148-yard Kansas pass total.
of the fourth quarter, the Wildcats led 21-20.
John Hadl, an All-Stater from Lawrence, grabbed three Flachs-barth passes for three touchdowns. Larry Weimer charged 10 yards across the goal line for one more score.
Kansas, scoring twice in the first half-de dozen minutes of the game, looked as if it would leave the Wildcats far behind.
Leland Flachsbarth gunned in three passes for three touchdowns, ran for another, and ran for four extra points on two after-touchdown tries, to lead the Jayhawker freshmen in scoring.
Jayhawkers Take Over
Then, the K-State beginners went to work and tied the game 14-14 at halftime. Going into the last half
Freshman Coach Don Fambrough said he was pleased with the general effort his players made in winning the game.
"The boys made a lot of mistakes," he observed. "These mistakes were expected for a group of players in their first game, though. Most of the mistakes were caused by eagerness."
The KU Board of Regents tried to abolish football in 1910 and replace it with rugby because football was too brutal.

By United Press International
This is the big week, as far as Big Eight football followers are concerned. Colorado and Oklahoma, both undefeated in conference play, meet at Boulder to determine the Big Eight championship.
Colorado charged ahead in the last period Saturday to whip a hardfighting Nebraska team 27-16.
Oklahoma moved too fast to be stopped by Kansas State and took its 22nd straight victory over the Wildcats, 40-6. The Sooners didn't

In other games last Saturday, Missouri showed enough strength, despite Coach Dan Devine's pessimism, to stop Iowa State 14-6. Kansas dropped Tulane 14-9 in an upset, and Oklahoma State beat the Cincinnati Bearcats 19-14.
The Missouri injury list, already too long for the Tigers' comfort, grew even longer Saturday. Phil Snowden, backfield star, will be out of action for at least two weeks with a back injury.
In the same game, Jack Kirkpatrick, a second string end, suffered an ankle fracture. He will be out for the rest of the season.
In addition to the Colorado-Oklahoma game, the Big Eight billing features Kansas at Kansas State, Missouri at Nebraska, South Dakota at Iowa State and the Air Force at Oklahoma State.
