Fred Bukaty Supplies Fullback Power-Punch
A sophomore fullback, not long out of the Army, doesn't call himself a prognosticator—but he does think KU fans will be in for an entertaining season.
Fred Bukaty, 22-year-old power-runner from Kansas City, would not make a guess on the Jayhawkers' won-lost record for this season, but he did stress that the squad wanted a winning season.
"I can't say on the games," he said. "But I'm certain the fans will be very pleased with what they see. The coach keeps the squad hustling and team spirit is very high."
Bukaty ought to know what work is done. He slaves at the game. In his first year in a varsity uniform he has looked good
in practice. Though he usually is listed behind teammate Doyle Schick at fullback, Bukaty's fine running and standout defensive play have earned him promotions to the number one unit on scattered occasions.
Bukaty, who packs all his 193 pounds into a stocky 5-11 frame, was a fullback at Hogan High School in Kansas City before entering the service. While stationed in Germany he played ball for the Army, which gave him plenty of experience for a college sophomore.
Bukaty is the second member of his family to play in the KU backfield. He is the nephew of Frank Bukaty who played halfback under Ad Lindsey in the late thirties.
Wildcats, Buffaloes Drill For Saturday League Tilt
By United Press International
Big Eight conference play officially gets underway this Saturday when Kansas State goes to Colorado to play the Buffalooes. The Wildcats opened their season with a surprise victory over Wyoming Saturday. The game with K-State will be Colorado's first time
The Wildcats went through several drills yesterday in Ahearn Field House. Coach Bus Mertes accented defense against Colorado and polished up the Cats' winged-T offense.
Colorado held a no-contact drill based on K-State scouting reports. Coach Dal Ward said two or three players are on the injury list, but none are seriously hurt.
Getting ready for their opener with West Virginia, the Oklahoma Sooners yesterday worked two hours against West Virginia offense patterns.
Cowboys Work Defense
Cowboys Work Defense
Passers were the target of the Oklahoma State University practice yesterday. The Cowboys worked an hour and 40 minutes rushing the passer to sharpen up defenses for their game with North Texas State Saturday.
Iowa State spent a muddy two hours yesterday on dummy defense and offense as it worked out in the rain. The Cyclones finished the drill with sprints to keep in top shape in case they run into some hot weather at Arizona University Saturday.
Missouri's Dan Devine sent his Tigers through dummy scrimmages and punt coverage drills yesterday with emphasis on speed. The Tiger linemen average 12 pounds less than their Saturday foe, Idaho.
'Cheese, Skittles Is Game, Not Food
NEW YORK—(UPI)—A. P. Herbert of London arrived in New York by ocean liner yesterday with the avowed purpose of introducing "cheese and skittles" to Americans. But he warned not to expect something to eat.
The "cheese" is a wooden bowling ball and the "skittles" are nine wooden pins the player tries to knock down with the ball.

Athletics Finish Home Play Tonight
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—The Athletics' home season comes to a close tonight when Kansas City and Cleveland meet in the wind up of a two-game series.
The Indians last night defeated Kansas City 7-5 on Randy Jackson's home run in the top of the ninth with two men on. The Athletics watched a 5-4 lead go by the wayside when Jackson's blow came off Dick Tomanek, third Kansas City pitcher.
Cleveland will send Gary Bell (11-9) to the mound tonight against Ralph Terry (10-13) for the A's. The Athletics move to Chicago for a three game weekend series to finish the season.
Cal McLish started for the Indians and gave up five unearned runs in the first inning. He was relieved by Dick Brodowski who gave way to Lefty Woodeshick, the winner.
Veteran Ned Garver seemed headed for his 13th victory of the year until the top of the ninth. Tomanek (7-8) took the loss.
Fifth-place Baltimore last night beat Washington. The Orioles and A's are now $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ games apart, in sixth and seventh place.
Other homers last night came by Cleveland's Woody Held and Minnie Minoso and Kansas City's Harry Chiti. Garver was relieved by Tom Gorman in the eighth.

Jayhawkers Work in Mud Vanatta Shifts to Center
Coach Jack Mitchell put his charges through a heavy scrimmage last night in preparation for Saturday night's encounter with rugged Oregon State.
The Jayhawkers went outside despite a wet field, soaked by yesterday's heavy rain. The team worked on defense against the Beavers' single wing attack and polished an offense which was held scoreless in last week's loss to TCU.
The injury bug continued to take a heavy toll on the Hawkeyws. Reserve end Walt Schmidt, who received a knee injury in the TCU encounter will be out an estimated two to three weeks.
Open 11 a.m. to Midnight
Five Are Injured
Fraternity A—Phi Delta Theta vs.

Sigma Phi Epsilon. 4:15.
Freshmen who are interested in becoming intramural managers must send a letter of application to Walter Mikols, assistant professor of physical education, 107 Robinson, before 5 p.m. today.

he thought at first. Schmidt took part in Monday's drills but did not suit up yesterday.
Guard Dick Rohlf will be out of action at least two weeks, Mitchell reported. This brings the number of players on the injury list to five.
One-time tackle and guard, Chet Vanatta has been moved to center. Vanatta, who started last year next to the pivot spot, is listed as a likely starter against Oregon State.
Mitchell promoted guard Gary Clothier to the first unit in further squad changes to get the Jayhawks ready for the Beavers.
Mitchell said the game Saturday with Oregon State looks about the same as it has all fall—rough. "They look just as tough every time you look at them," he said.
Swim Team Shows Promise
Swimming is on the rise as a varsity sport at KU!
KU finished third in the conference last year with eight men competing. Most Big Eight teams had a squad of 15.
Coach Jay Markley has six men returning from last year's squad of eight, as well as a promising group of sophomores.
"We should be strong in the sprints, butterfly, breaststroke and individual medley events," Markley said. Although both men lost by graduation were divers, Markley doesn't believe the team will be weak in that department. Larry Prather and Jack Uhlir, both sophomores, should fill the bill.
Returning team members are Steve Hill, captain, Lawrence, and Jon Poort, Topeka, seniors; John Jeffrey, Bartlesville, Okla.; James Laidlaw, Kansas City, Kanss.; Ed Poort, Topeka; and Jared Piety, Bartlesville. Okla., all juniors.
Other squad members are Thomas Herlocker, Winfield; Art Scott, Pittsburg; William Waldron, College Point. N.Y., all juniors.
