Ten Changes Made In KU's Alternating Units
University Daily Kansan
Lynn McCarthy, right end, Bobby Marshall, quarterback and Bobby Robinson, left half, will be new members of the Jayhawker No. 1 unit when they face the Oklahoma A&M Cowpokes Friday at Stillwater.
Injuries have contributed a good deal to seven changes in the alternating unit. Paul Swoboda, right guard, Tom Horner and Ron Claiborne at the tackle spots, and Don Martin, right end, constitute the changes in the second unit line. Joe Held, fullback, and John Francisco and Ernie Russell at the halfback positions complete the major overall job on the second eleven.
Wally Strauch, although not fully recovered from his hand injury, is expected to quarterback the No. 2 unit. Hard hitting guard Ray Lane returned to full stride Wednesday.
The Hawks, with their severest injury list of the season, will leave Jim Hull, Galen Wahlmeier, Dave Preston, Tom Russell, and Bill Horn behind when they depart for Kansas City at 4 p.m. today. From there they will fly directly to Stillwater, arriving at about 8 p.m. Their only workout today consisted of 20 minutes of limbing up on the Jayhawker field this morning.
STILLWATER, Okla. — (UP) — Oklahoma A & M spent an hour mapping strategy against Kansas and then worked another hour on passing, defense, offensive plays and goal line defense Wednesday.
A&M Not Optimistic
Coach Cliff Speegle was none too optimistic about his team's chances.
"Kansas has tremendous speed in the backfield and we're going to have to stop the speed or they'll run us out of the park," he said.
Hunter Returns To MU Lineup
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) — Quarterback Jimmy Hunter returned to the Missouri lineup Wednesday, after being sidelined with slight rib bruises.
Coach Don Faurot sent Missouri through scrimmage sessions and said later that Hunter definitely would be in the lineup against Iowa Stae Saturday.
MANHATTAN — (UP) — First string guard. Rudy Bletscher returned to the lineup Wednesday as against a dummy Wyoming defense set up by reserves.
K-Sate Changes Lineup
Bletscher, who had been out with injuries, still is on the doubtful list for Saturday's game at Laramie.
Coach Bus Mertes made several changes in the second unit backfield. Sophomore Ben Grosse

Iowa State At Full Strength
AMES, Iowa — (UP) — Coach Vince Di Francesca installed a new defense at Iowa State Wednesday in hopes of stopping Missouri's split-T attack this weekend.
Thursday, Oct. 25, 1956
The first three units worked on the defense against reserves, then turned to offense. Di Francesca said his backs were running good but that the line blocking was poor.
All of the Cyclones are expected to be ready Saturday with the possible exception of backs Marv Walter and Chuck Latting, both of whom have slight hip injuries.
Oklahoma A&M's squad at the beginning of this season had 16 sophomores and only six lettermen.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. —(UP) —Leo Durocher flirted today with the idea that he could cap his career as the man who broke the New York Yankees' domination of the American League.
That possibly is a key, although hitherto undisclosed, factor in Durocher's decision whether to return to baseball as manager of the Cleveland Indians, it was learned today. The same source also pointed out that "Leo's friendship for Hank Greenberg is genuine" and will be an important factor.
Leo Considering Cleveland Job
"Durocher wants a lot of money and he's going to insist on owning stock, make no mistake about that," the source said. "But don't forget he's never beaten the Yankees. Doing so as manager' of the Indians would be the climax of his career, and there's nobody he'd rather do it for than Greenberg."
Oklahoma A&M has produced 22 national (NCAA) championship teams, all but six of them won since Henry IBA became athletic director. Only Yale and the University of Southern California can match this record.
