'OU Will Meet Toughest Opponent Yet',Ed Prelock
If enthusiasm, will to win, and fine physical equipment are necessary ingredients to compose a good football player, Ed Prelock, 230-pound tackle, is well on his way to becoming one of KU's all-time greats.
It gives a fellow a sense of confidence when you can depend on the man next to you on the line to do his job was Ed's reply when asked his opinion of the KU line.
Must Stop OU's Offense
Ed began his football career at East High in Cleveland, Ohio. He lettered three years and was picked on several all-opponent teams.
When asked what KU's chances are for the Orange Bowl, Ed said that the team plays the games one at a time and that if they are good enough, they'll, make it. Right now KU's biggest problem is facing Oklahoma's power laden team.
Must Stop OU's Offense "We will do a lot better against Oklahoma than OU's previous opponents," Ed said. "In order to beat Oklahoma, we will have to play a strong defensive game, relying on break-away plays for our scores. Oklahoma just has too much talent in the back field to compete with in a high scoring game."
Plaving defense is Ed's favorite part of the game. He gets a great deal of enjoyment from smashing through the line to bring down the ball carrier.
Cheers Help
Often the fan that views the football game from a comfortable seat in the stands wonders what effect his cheering will have on the team. That when the stands are behind the boys all the way, it is an added boost to the team, Ed said. A football player is filled with a sense of pride when he knows that the fans are appreciating his efforts to represent the University to the best of his ability.
Ed is a sophomore in football eligibility, but a junior scholastically. He is majoring in personnel and intends to get a law degree after personnel study.
During the summer, Ed spends his time working for a construction company and working out at the local YMCA to keep in condition for football.
When asked what sports he likes when not playing football, Ed said that swimming and winter sports in general are his favorite past times. In fact, last year, Ebor borrowed a pair of skis and tried his luck on the hill in front of the Campanile.
Doctors Work On Swaps' Broken Leg
CAMDEN, N. J. — (UP) — The life of Swaps, a million dollars' worth of horseflesh, hung today on two meal rods, a sling and some plaster and plastic.
The items make up a specially-designed cast around Swaps' broken left hind leg and a rig to keep it two inches off the floor of his Garden State Park stall. Recovery is still uncertain.
The cast, devised by Dr. Jacques Jenny of the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital, has immobilized Swaps' maimed leg from the hock down to promote healing and prevent recurrence of Sunday's bad bump which aggravated a still-tender bone break below the knee.
Swap's racing future still would be in doubt, even though he pulls through the present crisis, it was said.
During his twenty year span in the major leagues, Walter Johnson won a total of 414 games while losing only 276.

Dodgers Get Royal Welcome In Tokyo
TOKYO — (UP) — The Brooklyn
Dodgers landed in Tokyo today and
turned the world's third largest
city into a Flatbush suburb.
Thousands of persons crowded the spectator ramp at Tokyo International Airport when the Dodgers arrived for a 20-day exhibition tour.

They got a roval welcome. Forty beautiful, kimono-clad actresses from the Daelim motion picture studios greeted the Dodger team as it stepped down from the plane. Among them was Kyo Machiko, best known Japanese actress in the Western world.
Jackie Robinson, whose grey hair attracted the attention of the Japanese fans, said: "We hope to give the Japanese fans some thrills."
Hundreds of school boys waved their hands frantically to attract the attention of their baseball idols.

NEW YORK — (UP) — After all these years, Enos Slaughter finally knows what they mean when they say it's great to be a Yankee.
Enos Receives Large Share
Slaughter, with the club only since Aug. 25, was voted three-quarters of a World Series share, $6,536.10, and the traditionally generous yankees also handed out 32 other full shares of $8,714.76 apiece in the official distribution today.
Thursday, Oct. 18, 195S University Dully Kansen Page 5
The less open-handed Dodgers voted only 28 full shares, each one being worth $6,934.34, an all-time high for a defeated World Series team.
The three-quarter share given by the Yankees to the 40-year-old Slaughter was even bigger than two full winning shares to be collected from the St. Louis Cardinals earlier in his career. Old Enos picked up $5,737.78 when the Cards beat the Yanks in the 1942 series and a meager $3,742.34 when he started in the Cardinals' 1946 triumph over the Red Sox.
Oklahoma has never defeated the University of Notre Dame. In 1952 the Irish defeated the Sooners, 27-21, and in 1953 Notre Dame won, 28-21.
