McCue, Floyd To Start Against OU
Bob Marshall was shifted to left halfback on the Jayhawker N.1 unit Thursday when Charlie McCue reported for practice with his leg feeling much better.
Coach Chuck Mather said that the change of Marshall to halfback would probably be permanent since he has Wally Strauch and Dave Preston to handle the quarterback spot. Marshall looked very good at his new position, using his speed and ruggedness even better than he did playing quarterback, Mather said.
With this change the Hawks backfield will probably consist of Strauch at quarterback. Homer Floyd at fullback. McCue at right half, and Marshall at left half for Saturday's tussle with the Oklahoma Sooners. No changes in the line have been made other than the boosting of Ed Prelock to the No. 1 right tackle spot earlier in the week.
Galen Wahmeier, Ernie Russell,
and Ron Claiborne are still on the KU injury list and are definitely out of Saturday's tilt.
The Jayhawkers will taper off in their drill today after having a session of defensive work and offensive polishing Thursday.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP)
Coach Don Faurier will take a 36-man squad of Missouri Tigers to Manhattan, this afternoon to begin his last trip through the Big Seven obstacle course.
Faurot Makes Last Round
Faurot's squad, three-deep at every position except fullback and right half, will take on Kansas State Saturday. Ten of the squad members are sophomores.
Tackle Bob Lee and halfback Jerry Curtright won't make the trip because of injuries.
Backfield Uncertain At K-State
MANHATTAN Kan. — (UP)
MANHATAN, Kah. — (C) Coach Bus Mertes of Kansas State College said he may start either Jerry Hayes, Gene Keady or Tony Addeo at right half Saturday when Missouri's Tigers take on his Wildcats.
Two of the best backs in the country will be looking for wide open spaces in the Kansas defense when the Jayhawkers tangle with mighty Oklahoma Saturday.
McDonald, Thomas Hope To Ramble
TOMMY McDONALD
Tommy McDonald and Clendon Thomas, working out of opposite halfback slots on Bud Wilkinson's No. 1 unit. have scored 72 points in three ball games.
An All-American last year, McDonald is on his way to similar honors this season. Known for his speed and broken field running, he is an excellent passer. He completed eight of ten passes in Saturday's lossed tilt with Texas.
Thomas was highly regarded last year as a sophomore, substituting for McDonald at left-half. He is 25 pounds heavier than McDonald and has more power.
The Sooners have not had such a dangerous double punch since 1950 when All-American Leon (Mule Train) Heath ran in the full back
slot with a green sophomore named Billy Vessels was making long runs look easy.
