University Daily Kansan SPORTS Team Sees Films, Blackboard Drills
Instead of putting the football team through a hard practice Monday, Coach Jack Mitchell and his assistants gave the team blackboard drills and then showed movies of the Colorado game.
"The situation is desperate. If there is an answer to the problem, then we must find it," Mitchell said. The problem is that Kansas has failed to score in its three games while letting its opponents have 85 points.
Although the team was soundly beaten by Colorado there was one bright spot after the game. For the first time this year there have been no additional injuries to first team members as a result of the game.
Guard Bill Blasi is back in action. He will add experience and depth to the Jayhawkers' line. Blasi is fully recovered from his broken hand.
Starting tackle John Peppercorn is also running at full speed after missing much of the Colorado game because of a knee injury. Both Blasi and Peppercorn will be ready for the Iowa State game Saturday.
Clearing up a statement that he was not going to try to fire the team up, Mitchell said:
"One of our troubles is that the team is too tense before a game. The boys want to do well so badly that they are not relaxed. A player has to be relaxed to play good football."
Mitchell jokingly added that he was giving up on the idea of having the men carry footballs to class.
"They might lose them," he laughed.
Cyclone Coach Prepares For KU 'Desperation' Pass
By United Press International
What's the matter with Kansas Someone once wrote a famous editorial about that subject. Maybe more are being written this year
Maybe the trouble was sized up yesterday by Clay Stapleton of Iowa State when he said Kansas does a lot of passing in desperation. Stapleton warned that his Cyclones need to sharpen on pass defense against Kansas. The teams meet this Saturday.
Oklahoma's Sooners yesterday had light workouts after Coach Bud Wilkinson defended the team against criticism of its poor offensive showing against Oregon last Saturday.
Wilkinson said he thinks Texas Saturday will prove just how good the Sooners really are.
against Oregon last Saturday.
"Everybody thinks we had a bad
day," he said. "Actually Oregon was one of the better defensive teams we've played."
Nebraska's Bill Jennings said he thinks the game Saturday with Kansas State will be a "knock-down, drag-out battle." He noted Kansas State has been passing the ball a lot and came up with 16 compilations in 26 attempts last week.
Missouri yesterday spent an easy day getting ready for air-minded Southern Methodist. Worst casualty last Saturday was tackle Brock Hessing who will be out four weeks with a dislocated shoulder.

Yanks Please TV Fans in Union

The game ended in the sixth when New York scored six runs. After the uprising, the Yankee partisans sat quietly. They talked of the next game at Milwaukee.
The American League champs trail in the series two games to three. They have a long way to go. They are the underdogs.
After Del Crandall of the Braves had fled out to end the game, the crowd filed out. The
A calm Milwaukee fan asked, of no one in particular, "Who do you think Haney will pitch Wednesday?"
"They're living on borrowed time," commented a follower.
Whatever the outcome of the series, the Yankee fans had their day in the fifth game. They cheered wildly in the sixth inning when Bill Skowon singled to send Burdette to the showers.
The Yankee rooters applauded Bob Turley moments later when he drove in the fifth and sixth runs of the inning.
Little happened after that big inning.
A newcomer walked to the edge of the crowd.
"What's the score?" he asked.
"7-0. Yankees."
"Nuts."
He walked off.
The audience thinned out after the seventh. It was time for 1 o'clock classes. A commercial featuring a frustrated golfer drew laughs.
A girl moved a chair across the floor. The chair scraped noisily. The audience watched the girl. She sat down. Eddie Matthews singled.
Milwaukee went out in order in the ninth. The Yankees mobbed Turley. He had pitched a shutout.

Team Needs Pep After Four Games
BOGALUSA, La.,—(UPI)—Coach Virgil Underwood and druggist Fuzz Seal think they may have the answer for the local high school football team's poor showing this fall—lack of pep.
Cook's Rushing Zooms
So, Seal donated 5,000 vitamin pills and Underwood began passing them out to the athletes yesterday. The team has scored only two touchdowns in four games but has yielded 107 points.
A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, KU athletic director, holds the record for the most yards returning punts in one season and career with 819 on 32 punts in 1920.
Colorado's Howard Cook plunged into so much action in last Saturday's Kansas game he zoomed into a tie with Dwight Nichols of Iowa State for the lead in Big Eight rushing.
Halfback Cook has gained 222' yards in 30 carries while Nichols ran up his total with 64 carries. The speedy Cook was a one-man show against Kansas.
Oklahoma State moved ahead of Iowa State as leader in total team offense with 1,007 yards. Iowa State was 986 yards.
Missouri's Phil Snowden still leads the conference in passing and punting with 19 completions of 36 passes for 241 yards and 11 punts for a 46.4 yard average.
Joe Vader of Kansas State led the league in pass receiving. He has caught nine for 107 yards.
Bob Harden of Iowa State kept the individual scoring lead making five touchdowns for 30 points.
Tony Banfield and Jakie Sandifer of Oklahoma have both carried back three punts for a 21.6 yard punt return average.
Coach Jack Mitchell played for the College All-Stars in 1949 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
