K-State Is Long In Spirit But Short On Victories
Kansas State will carry a 1-5 record into Saturday's game with KU at Manhattan. Included among the losses are three to conference opponents. The lone victory was at the expense of Nebraska.
The Wildcats started the season by running into a determined bunch of sophomores from Oklahoma A&M and losing 27-7. Colorado turned their powerful single wing loose on the Wildcats and pounded out a 34-0 victory in the second game of the season.
Then the Wildcats had the misfortune to play Oklahoma. The Sooners won 66-0. Kansas State bounced back to beat Nebraska 10-7 on a 35-yard field goal by Ben Grosse.
Kansas State's split-T attack is featured by the running of half-back Kenny Nesmith and quarterback Keith Wilson. The team has not shown a passing attack, thus far, except in the Nebraska game.
Playing good ball against the Missouri Tigers, the Wildcats held the Tigers to a 6-0 halftime score before superior team strength wore them down. Missouri won 20-6.
Saturday the Wildcats played a Wyoming team that is unbeaten this year and lost 27-15. K-State took a 15-6 lead into the fourth quarter but the Cowboys scored three times.
In all the games except the Colorado and Oklahoma contests, K-State has gained almost as much yardage on the ground as their opponents. However, they have shown a noticeable weakness in moving the ball inside their opponent's 20-yard line. The Wildcats have scored only 38 points to 181 for the opposition.

Freshman Postal Squad Downs Drake
The Kansas freshman cross-country squad, led by Tom Skutka, won its second postal meet of the year 15-49 against the Drake University freshmen. The distance was two miles on the Memorial Stadium track.
Drake's first finisher placed seventh and kept Kansas from a "grand slam." KU took seven of the first eight positions.
Kansas Defense Cited
The KU defense was at its best against Oklahoma A&M, Tom Tripplett, assistant coach, told a Kansas City quarterback club Wednesday.
He cited the stopping of long runs and alertness as the reasons.
Aluminum can be rolled, forged, spun, drawn, extruded, and machined. While appealing in color as a natural metal, it can be painted or tinted. Because of its thermal conductivity, it is ideal for cooking utensils. And although it conducts only about 60 per cent as much electricity as copper, because of its lower weight a pound of aluminum has about the same conductivity as two pounds of copper.
