Strauch, Kraus, McCarthy Will Captain 1957 Team
Wally Strauch, quarterback; Bob Kraus, guard; and Lynn McCarthy, end, have been chosen co-captains of the 1957 KU football team. The announcement was made at the annual football banquet honoring the members of the 1956 squad.
Strauch, Kraus, and McCarthy each predicted a winning season next year.
Coach Chuck Mather outlined the progress of the Jayhawkers since 1954. A steady improvement was shown both on offense and defense. The 1954 team didn't win a game while the 1956 team finished the season with a three won, six lost, and one tied record. A 13-point spread spelled the difference between victory and defeat in each one of KU's losses.
Five other awards were given to KU football players. The Ormand Beach Memorial Trophy was awarded to Frank Black, Jayhawk center, by Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, Chancellor of the University. The award is given annually to the man voted the most valuable player on the squad by his team mates.
ine Art Weaver Scholarship Award was given to Don Martin, senior end by, Charles Leone, chairman of the advisory committee on collegiate athletics. Martin, a Geology major, is from Larned.
Blankets For Seniors
The K-Blanket awards are given annually to graduating seniors. Because of a mixup in shipping the official presentation of the blankets could not be made. Presentation will be made in the near future during the half time of one of the basketball games. Recipients of the blankets will be Black; Martin; Bill Bell, Raytown, Mo.; John Drake, Cassoday; Joe Held, Topeka; Don Pfutzenreuter, Carlsbad, N. M., and Galen Wahlmeier, Jennings.
Efficiency awards were given for the best offensive and defensive lineman, offensive backfield man, defensive line backer, and defensive deep backfield man. Jim Leteavits, end, was honored as the best offensive line man of the season. The best defensive lineman award was won by Black.
Homer Floyd, fullback, received the award for the best offensive back. Defensive deep backfield honors went to Bob Marshall, quarterback.
The defensive linebacker award went for the third year in a row to Pfutzenreuter.
The John Pensinger Award, given to the best offensive and defensive player, was given to Homer Floyd, fullback.
All Get Razors
The coaching staff and players that composed the 1956 Jayhawk squad were each given electric razors by the Downtown Quarterback Club.
The banquet was sponsored by the Lawrence Quarterback Club and the Sports Committee of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
Wahlmeier Picked For East-West Game
Galen Wahlmeier, center and captain of the KU football team, has been named to the West team for the annual Shrine Bowl football game in San Francisco Dec. 29.
Wahlmeier is the first KU gridirder to be invited to the East-West game since end Morris Kay and guard Bob Hantla played in the 1953 game. Oklahoma landed two men on this year's squad—tackle Tom Emerson and back Bill Priceer.
Russia Clinches Olympic Crown
MELBOURNE — (UP) — Russia clinched the team championship in the Olympic games with an avalanche of points in Greco-Roman wrestling and gymnastics which the U. S. cannot match in the remaining two days of competition.
The U. S. team failed to win a single gold medal today but lodged an official protest against a Russian woman judge whose consistently low scores for American and Hungarian divers enabled Mexico's Joaquin Capilla to win the high dive by .03 point from Gary Tobian of Los Angeles.
Coach Dick Harp said Wednesday that the loss of Ronnie Loneski, sophomore KU forward was one of the severest losses that the KU basketball team could suffer at this stage of the season. "At this minute," he said, "I don't see how we can conceivably replace him."
With most events completed for the night, the Soviet team was on top with 637 points to $ 5 5 8 \frac{1}{2} $ for the U.S.
Harp Bemoans Loss Of Loneski
Harp said that in reviewing the game films, it appeared Loneski suffered his foot injury when he jumped up to block a shot and in coming down landed on the side of his foot. The extent of the injury will not be determined for several days, but Loneski is definitely out of Saturday's game with Marquette.
Loneski was still limping today, but commented that his foot was feeling better although it was pretty sore. "I don't think it's broken," he said.
NEW YORK — (UP) — All-American Johnny Majors, Tennessee's pint-sized triple-threat tailback, today was voted the United Press back of the year for the 1956 college football season.
Harp said that the loss of Loneski will give Monte Johnson and Gary Thompson a chance to work in at his forward spot.
The Jayhawkers held a general review of their organization Wednesday.
Majors, the dominant factor in Tennessee's surprising perfect-record campaign, was honored in a nationwide poll of 232 sports writers and radio and television broadcasters who voted for the United Press All-American team.
Majors Honored As 'Back Of Year'
The 165-pound halfback attracted 79 votes in the open-ticket balloting to beat out Tommy McDonald, Oklahoma's halfback, by 20 votes. Jimmy Brown of Syracuse, another All-American selection, was third with 38 votes.
