Page 5 Big Eight Teams Play Stiff Openers Five Big Eight Conference football squads will display their talents in five non-league games this Saturday. Chances are four of them will become painfully bruised in the process. The Jayhawkers will give their first performance under Coach Jack Mitchell when they battle the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University in Memorial Stadium. Missouri will play Vanderbilt before the network television cameras at Columbia. Dan Devine, owner of a no-loss record while coaching Arizona State at Tempe last year, is also a new coach. Devine inherited 15 lettermen when he made the switch to MU. Seven of this group were regulars in the 1957 season. The Tigers fought Vanderbilt to a 7-7 tie in last year's opener. Easy Task for Cyclones Iowa State, under the direction of another new coach, Clay Stapleton from the Oregon State coaching staff, is rated the favorite in its game with Drake University at Ames. Drake lost most of the team that piled up a 7-2 record last year. Included was a 20-0 victory over Iowa State. Only nine lettermen returned this year. The Kansas State Wildcats will boast a starting line averaging 208 pounds per man when it meets Wyoming University Saturday at Manhattan. Coach Bus Mertes is concerned as to whether his "big huskies" can be ready by game time. Three of his favored men have been limited in workout by ankle or knee injuries. Wildcats to Lose Wyoming, the top team in the Skyline Conference, is favored to pick up the victory when it meets the Wildcats. The Cowboys won last year 13-7. Nebraska coach Bill Jennings rightly expects a tough chore when he takes the doormat of the Big Eight up against Penn State in the game at Lincoln. Jennings has called the team, "the greenest group in major college history." Only five of the 70 players are seniors. Jennings is forced to put all his hopes for rebounding from last season's 1-9 record on a sophomore-junior squad. Sooners. Buffs Idle Oklahoma, voted by the experts as the likely team to take the conference title, plays its first 1958 season game when it meets West Virginia in Norman Sept. 27. Colorado is also idle until the 27th, when it plays Kansas State. Oklahoma State, not eligible for Big Eight play until 1960, will open this Saturday against Denver University at Denver. This game will be televised throughout the Rocky Mountain section. KU Hurdle Ace Back From Army Willie Jones, the Army hurdler-quartermiler who ran so well here as a sophomore in 1955, is out of service and will re-join Kansas track forces this autumn. Running for Fort Sam Houston during the last three years, Jones clocked bests of :46.8 in the 440; 1:20 in the 660; 1:55.0 in the 880. and :51.5 in the Intermediate hurdles. He finished second in the conference outdoor quarter as a sophomore behind Oklahoma's Johnny Dahl and third in the 220 Lows behind Missouri's Leven Gray and Bill Constantine. Cards Shuffled Devine's Deal Due Today ST. LOUIS — (UPI)— The reported shake-up of the St. Louis Cardinals' organization on the field and in the front office—may be announced today. General Manager Bing Devine is planning to hold a news conference late this afternoon. It is expected that Field Manager Fred Hutchinson will be present. The Cardinals, back home again after a brief road trip, open a two-game series against the Milwaukee Braves tonight. The front office so far has declined to give substance to reports involving Hutchinson and Birdie Tebbetts, former manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs. But August A. Busch Jr. and Dick Meyer, president and executive vice-president of the Cards, quashed published reports that Tebbets figured in their plans for a field or office job. Richards in the Dark The reports also said Hutchinson would become field manager of the Baltimore Orioles. But, at Chicago, Paul Richards—both field manager and general manager of the Orioles—denied reports that Hutchinson would succeed him as field manager. "It's news to me," Richards said. "That's good." "It's news to me." Richards said. "That's up to the users." Meyer had no comment on reports that Hutchinson would take over as the Orioles' field boss and that Eddie Stanky, Cleveland coach and former Redbird manager, would return to a Cardinal front office post. The reports were contained in a story by Bob Broeg, sports editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and tagged Solly Hemus, second baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, as the "Most Probable" replacement for Hutchinson. Try Kansan Want Ads, Get Results Wednesday, Sept. 17, 1958 University Daily Kansan Jayhawks Dodge Rain TCU Adds to Attack Rainy weather failed to prevent the Jayhawker football squad from making the most of available practice time before Saturday's opening game. Coach Jack Mitchell moved the entire squad into drier quarters under the roof of Allen Field House for the drill yesterday afternoon. The change of location didn't upset any plans for heavy scrimmage. Mitchell had already ruled out all rough contact work Pass defense, a department in which Mitchell fears KU is sadly lacking, was stressed during the workout. Abe Martin, Texas Christian University coach, has been preparing a passing attack for the game here Saturday. Have Made Progress "We started out working on the passing game in the spring," Martin said recently. "It worked real good against ourselves, and I still think we've made progress in this department." Martin has praised the passing of his leading quarterbacks — Hunter Enis, a spring training standout, and Donald George and Larry Dawson, both sophomores. The Horned Frogs use the multiple-T attack. Mitchell has acquainted the Jayhawkers with TCU plays and drills the past two weeks. Needs Extra Punch Martin is spending the final days trying to find something that will give extra "punch" to the TCU offense. To win consistently, he feels the team must score three touchdowns in each game. "We need some more polish on our offense," he commented. "Our attack will have to move up from the 1957 season for us to be a contender." Martin is taking definite steps to see that the Jayhawkers don't repeat the performance of last year when they scored on the final play of the game to claim a 13-13 tie. He has shifted his first and second stringers up and down in an effort to find a satisfying combination. "We're hoping those moves will bring results," he said. "We may have to try others. I'm hoping to have two units of near equal ability ready for the Kansas opener." Big Clyde Leaves Royals for Hawks Clyde Lovellette, who thrilled Kansas basketball fans of daws gone by with his high scores and soft hook, was traded yesterday by the Cincinnati Royals for rights to five rookies. He went to the St. Louis Hawks, who now have Bob Petit, Lovellette and Cliff Hagan—the third, fourth and seventh top scorers of the last National Basketball Assn. season. To earn his fourth-best standing, Lovellette put through a 23.4 average for each game. The big (6ft. 9in., 235 lb.) player has a five-season NBA average of 18.5 points a game. Floyd Nears Top On Rushing List By matching his two-season average of 572 net yards, halfback Homer Floyd can out-strip every rusher in Mt. Oread history save Charlie Hoag during the 1958 season. Floyd will open the year seventhranked on the all-time career lists at 1143. Above his are Hoag at 1914; Ray Evans, 1431; Forest Griffith, 1379; Bud French, 1520; Bud Laughlin, 1276, and Wade Stinson, 1251. Five Kansas football players have earned the All American rank—Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, 1947; George Mrkonic, 1951, Oliver Spencer and Gil Reich, 1952. Do You Think for Yourself ?
