Page 8 University Daily Kansan Thursday, Sept. 11, 1958 Halfback Slot Well Manned The halfback picture for KU's 1958 football team is very encouraging. Coach Jack Mitchell can count on two veterans of proven ability at the halfbacks in Homer Floyd and Dave Harris. Both have good speed and defensive ability. Floyd has been the club's leading rusher each of the last two seasons and promises to be one of the outstanding backs in the Big Eight conference this year. HOMER FLOYD Harris has been shifted from right to left halfback this year, and Floyd has been switched from his old fullback-left half alternation to right half. Backing up Harris are two 200-pound-plus rookies, Roger Hill and Ron Michaels. Both carry good running potential, but need improvement defensively. Holdover sophomore Chuck Lukinac is behind Floyd, along with junior college grad Jim Baker. Both of these should offer further aid at these positions.

Oread, the KU harriers have only lost once to a Big Eight team. That defeat was to Missouri in the Jayhawkers' first conference dual meet. Apparently, KU recovered well from its initial fall.

In Big Eight competition the course is three miles long. In AAU meets the distance is four miles. The course is not the circular flat cinder track which many people associate with a track sport, but a winding hill trail, over grass and dirt paths. Jim Letcavits, three-year Kansas right end regular, has stuck with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian professional league as an offensive wing. Letcvits closed his career as KU's fourth-ranking all-time receiver on 591 yards in 33 catches. His fingertip scoop of Wally Strauch's low liner in the Nebraska end zone last November provided the winning touchdown in a 14-12 conquest. Tom Skutka, Hibernia, N. J. junior, last year at the Big Eight Conference Cross Country Championships ran the three miles in 14.58, a new Big Eight record. The previous record had been set the year before by Jerry McNeal, a KU graduate, with a time of 15.10. Seven men make up a cross country team with the top five men doing the scoring. Canadian Berth Filled by Letcavits Westerners Tough on KU Kansas will be meeting a far west football club for the ninth time when it tackles Oregon State's defending PCC champions the night of Sept. 27 at Portland. The Beavers handed the Jayhawkers a 34-6 flailing here last year to notch a 4-3-1 edge for the coast. The cam has four returning let- termen. They are Berry Crawford, Boise, Idaho senior and team captain; Harold Long, Van Nuys, Calif. senior; Brian Travis, Des Moines, Iowa junior, and Skutka. Other returning team members are Gordon Davis, Wichita sophomore; Jack Henry, Kansas City, Kan. junior; Billy Mills, Denver, Colo. sophomore; Daniel Ralston, Topaek sophomore, and Robert Tague, Kansas City, Kan. junior. Coach Easton said the roughest competition in the Big Eight should come from Colorado, who finished second last season and is returning a strong team. Oklahoma and Iowa State also should have strong teams this year. Easton said. Nationally, Easton thinks Notre Dame, lst year's AAU champions, Michigan State, Pennsylvania State and Syracuse, too should be tops. YOUR NAME stamped in gold on cover of handsome checkbook holder.

READ "Our electric clothes dryer is 'tops' in saving time and labor," says Mrs. Eugene Kreutzer of Leavenworth, Kansas. "We have had an electric clothes dryer for seven years and have found it fine for diapers and the many clothes that four people can wear. We get by on less clothes now, too," she said.
