JOHN PEPPERCORN
Tackle Expects Gains
The only drawback in switching from end to tackle is that the man across the line is usually larger, says converted-tackle John Peppercorn of the Kansas Jayhawkers.
Peppercorn moved from end on offense at the start of this season, but continues to play his old position on defense.
"Tackle a is rougher position," he said. "But now that I'm used to plaving there, I like it."
The junior lineman, who started as a sophomore last year, played end in high school. He won All-State honors in his senior year at Shawnee Mission.
A rough blocker and team leader, Peppercorn has adjusted easily to his new position. He has been a standout on offense and defense.
Peppercorn said he expects the team to improve this fall.
"We have a lot of sophomores on the team," he said. "As they gain confidence with each game, we will get tougher. We will surprise someone."
On the Oregon State game, Peppercorn said the Jayhawkers appeared to be stronger. Peppercorn said the team's offense was much improved in that game.
"We moved the ball well against Oregon State," he said. "Except for fumbles, it might have been a closer game. We could move when we needed to, and that was a good sign."

Golden-Toed Rash Nears Kick Record
United Press International
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UPI) — The Missouri football team is running short of touchdowns this fall, but once it gets them, there is a "Rash" of conversions.
The six-foot Rash, who admits he studied movies of Lou (The Toe) Groza's kicking technique, said, "I think the one thing that helps me most is locking my ankle just before I meet the ball.
In fact, if the Tigers can score three touchdowns against Southern Methodist this Saturday, the "Rash" may rise to the occasion and boot himself into a football hall of fame, of sorts.
"That gives me a truer are," he added. "But of course keeping my head down and following through are fundamental. I try to hit the ball just below center."
Blond, 196-pound Charlie Rash,
"The boy with the golden toe," is only three short of breaking the National Collegiate Athletic Association record for consecutive conversions. He's been booting them steady, hitting six straight late in 1956, 20 of 20 last year and adding two more against Idaho this season.
The National Collegiate record is 30 straight, set by Bob Fuller of Arizona (Tempe) State in 1950, so
The Tigers have scored only three touchdowns in as many games this year, and the 21-year-old senior from Shelbina, Mo., didn't get to try for the extra point on the first one. The two against Idaho gave him 28 straight.
Rash needs two to tie, three to break the record.
Another thing he credits with his string is the feather-touch holding of fullback Hank Kuhlmann.
"Hank holds with a light touch," Rash said. "Being a baseball catcher, he does a good job of nabbing those off-center snaps and setting the ball down fast. That's what makes a kicker."
Rash has missed only three conversions in his college career, all of them as a sophomore. two were blocked, and the other just went astray. He also has missed two field goal attempts, the most recent a try from the 11 against Texas A and M last Saturday.
