A BIG CATCH — KU end Jim Letcavits stole this Wally Strauch pass from Nebraska's Frank Nappi to set up the third KU touchdown Saturday. The play carried to the one-yard line, and the Jayhawkers scored from there to take a short-lived 20-19 lead.
Several Prospects Shine In 14-7 Frosh Defeat
The Kansas University freshmen held a 7-0 half-time lead, but Missouri scored twice in the second half to gain a 14-7 victory Friday afternoon.
Although the young Jayhawkers lost their only two games this season, Coach Wayne Replogle figures he has uncovered a few "gems" for the KU varsity next season.
Phil Vogrin, 6-2, 187-pounder from Kansas City, handled most of the quarterbacking duties for KU. Replogle thinks that with his ballhandling, passing and running ability Vogrin should develop into a fine varsity signal-caller. He also is exceptionally strong on defense.
Charles Lukinac, 5-11, 185-pounder from Muncie, looked like the young Jayhawker's best runner. He sprinted for 25 yards to the MU 12 to set up KU's only score. He also made several short gains during the game, one for 26 yards in the second half.
Burnison Leads Linemen
Burnison Leads Linemen
Probably the best looking KU lineman was center Bill Burnison, a 210-pound from Ontario, Calif.
Handicapped by injuries through most of this season, this powerful young giant slammed Missouri backs hard and he proved he really likes the game. Ralph Holland, Fredonia, also showed well at center.
Both teams hit and charged hard throughout the entire game. Each team had one serious scoring threat in the first half, MU's resulting in its only touchdown. After Lukinac had run to the MU 12, the Jayhawkers were thrown back to the 20 and faced a 4th and 18 situation. Robert Casteel, who subbed for Vogrin at quarterback, hit halfback Alan Forker for the touchdown on the 4th down. Casteel booted the point.
Missouri's two TG's were scored late in the third period and early in the fourth. Jack Rice threw to Charles Van Dyne for a 45-yard touchdown pass and MU's first score. KU was offside on the first try for the extra point which was missed. On the second attempt

Huskers Spoil Homecoming, 26-20
The Nebraska Cornhuskers again put a blight on Kansas' Homecoming celebration, this time by a 26-20 score before 28,000 fans Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska scored its last touchdown with over 13 minutes left in the game. Shortly after a Kansas touchdown and conversion had put the Jayhawkers ahead
Nebraska has won 11 out of 13 homecoming games from Kansas since 1930, but few have exceeded this one in thrills. Each team had rallied late in several of the previous games to pull them out of the fire, and that's what Nebraska did Saturday. Even then, it looked like Kansas would come back and win it with a rally of its own.
MU's Ray Schaffer intercepted a Kansas pass on the KU 25 and ran to the five to set up the winning touchdown. Three plays later, Bob Meyers scored. Robert Haas kicked the extra point.
Phil Snowden pitched to Van Dyne for the point.
Jerry Brown, Nebraska's driving fullback, carried over for the first Husker tally and Harshman converted to make it 7-0 in the quarter.
20-19, Willie Greenlaw went over from the six to give the Huskers their final margin.
Missouri kept the young Jayhawkers deep in Kansas territory throughout the second half of the game, forcing KU to make mistakes and outplaying the home club throughout the final 30 minutes.
Strauch Ties It
Early in the second quarter Wally Strauch carried over from the one and then converted to tie the score for the Jayhawkers. Five minutes before the half ended, Frank Nappi took a pass from Greenlaw and went over for the second Husker score. Nebraska led 13-7 at the half.
Charlie McCue went over from one yard out as Kansas tied the game shortly after the second half opened. The Huskers went back in front 19-13 when Bill Hawkins went over from the 1 yard line.
McCue again went over from the 1-yard line and Strauch converted to put Kansas ahead for the first time in the game. Trailing 20-19 early in the fourth quarter, the Huskers picked up their final touchdown when Greenlaw went over from the six.
A Penalty Hurts
Kansas lost an excellent scoring opportunity in the middle of the fourth quarter on a punt return.
Bobby Robinson took the pout on the KU 6-yard line, went to the opposite side line and ran to the Nebraska 27 before being stopped. The run was nullified and Kansas was penalized to the 1-foot line when clipping was called on Bill Bell.
Kansas moved the ball to its own 35-yard line but a Nebraska pass interception stopped that drive. KU got the ball again with 35 seconds left in the game. In that time Kansas moved from its three to its 48 before the game ended.
The passing of Wally Strauch kept the Jayhawkers in the ball game, as Nebraska had Kansas' outside running attack pretty well bottleled up.
