KU, Oklahoma Prepare for Game; Missouri, Colorado Suffer Injuries
The KU football team viewed movies of the Iowa State game and worked against Oklahoma University defense in preparation for the Oklahoma game here next Saturday.
The Jayhawkers did not come up with any new injuries in the game. Dick Rohlf, who has been out with injuries, will be ready to play Saturday, Mitchell said.
Coach Bud Wilkinson made six changes on the Oklahoma squad after losing to Texas 15-14 last Saturday.
Wilkinson planned to revamp the Oklahoma attack by moving Jerry Tillery to first team right end, Gilbert Lewis to starting tackle and Jerry Thompson to first team right guard.
In the backfield, Bobby Boyd took over at quarterback, Dick Carpenter was placed at right halfback, and Jimmy Carpenter
Some Oklahoma Changes
A fired up Texas University team defeated Oklahoma 15-14 last Saturday at Dallas. The Sooners dropped from second place in the nation to 11th.
at left half on the first team.
Oklahoma's first two units worked more than an hour yesterday in sweatsuits, and the third and fourth teams battled the freshmen in a scrimmage. Some new offense patterns were tried by the top units.
Missouri Coach Dan Devine repeated what he said at the beginning of the season about playing four strong non-conference foes before beginning the Big Eight schedule
Try New Offense
"It's a good idea, if we had gone through the first four games without injury. Our squad right now is a physical wreck. We won't even know who can play Saturday until Thursday."
Colorado's first and second teams went through light drills. The injury list includes first string end Kirk Campbell, still recuperating from an elbow operation.
Oklahoma State returned to practice yesterday but work was light. Jorge Madamba was moved from right to left end and C. J. Harkey into Madamba's position.
Kansas State's regulars had an easy day, running pass drills in sweat clothes. Jack Marcoline, junior halfback who was sidelined from the Nebraska game, was running full speed in a scrimmage against the freshmen.
The Iowa State Cyclones took the day off because Coach Clay Stapleton said the team looked tired and stale in their loss to Kansas.

Coach Explains Saturday Morning Mood- 'I Will Either Be Miserable or Happy'
A little insight on what a coach's life is like was provided by Iowa State's Clay Stapleton after his Cyclones lost to Kansas 7-0 Saturday.
"I know every Saturday morning when I wake up that I will feel one of two ways when the day is over," he said. "I know that I'll either be the happiest man alive, or the most miserable.
the only way I can feel. There is no in-between."
"Right now, I'm miserable. It's
He and his team had just lost a frustrating last minute attempt to score against the Jayhawkers. The Cyclone team had moved as far as the KU 4-yard line only to be held for no score.
"That Kansas team was hungry for a win," he continued. "I told my boys before the game they would have to score first to prevent a long, unhappy afternoon. Instead, Kansas scored first."
Stapleton wasn't too miserable to
Lewis Praises KU Tackles
A good halfback often credits his linemen for making a touchdown run look easy. A KU end has a new slant on this old football saying.
DeWitt Lewis of the Jayhawks' says good linemen make things easy for an end. He said his blocking chores are made easy by the play of two big men, John Peppercorn and Tom Russell.
"The play at both positions is similar," he said. "In both, there is room to maneuver and time to think. The men in the center of the line do not have these advantages. I can get a good angle on a man for tackling or blocking him. I can hit my man the way I like."
"When I have good tackles playing inside me, like Peppercorn or Russell, playing my position is simple. Often an end and tackle have to double up on an opponent. If the tackle stops the guy, all I have to do is knock him over. Our tackles usually stop him and my job is easy."
His only prediction on the end of the season was that Oklahoma would probably top the Big Eight again. He said last year's Sooners were the finest team he had ever played against.
Lewis is a linebacker on defense and is apparently satisfied with his dual role. He rated end as the best position to play on offense and linebacker as tops on defense.
Lewis thinks the Jayhawkers are a team which will improve with coming games. He said mistakes hurt KU in the TCU, Oregon State and Colorado games. With a little more polish and some good breaks, Kansas might have changed the outcome of the contests, he said.
They were a great all-round

The 21-year-old Lewis said Coach Jack Mitchell is the best coach he has ever played for.
"Everything is right when you play for Mitchell," he said. "He makes you want to do your job the right way. The players want to produce and spirit is always high." Lewis gave his own formula for football:
football team. No matter what we did, Oklahoma did it better."
"I think Jack has done a great job of telling his players and everybody how good we are. But, actually we're just a small, obscure team."
make a few jokes about the way he thought Kansas' Jack Mitchell had conducted a psychological warfare against the Cyclones.
"In a way, football is a two-man sport. It's just between you and the man who plays opposite you. The only way to play the game is to first make up your mind to whip him, and then whip him."
He remembered Mitchell's comments after the previous Saturday's Colorado game at Lawrence, Mitchell had described his team as being in the "muddy murk."
"His boys raised themselves out of the mud all right," Stapleton laughed. "I think it's kinda nice they finally got their faces clean."
Then, Stapleton remembered that his own team was down a bit. The Cyclones, lacking a victory in Big Eight play, lost to Nebraska and Kansas on consecutive Saturdays.
"Our boys aren't in that mud, though," he insisted. "And they will never be."
Jerry Waugh, freshman basketball coach, issued a call this week for more players.
Any man interested in playing should report at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday to the basketball office in Allen Field House. He should bring his own equipment.
