Bob Marshall Shifted To Halfback Position
Charlie McCue, No. one right half, was added to the Jayhawker injury list when he reported for practice Wednesday with a charley-horse received in the Iowa State game Saturday.
Bob Marshall, No. two quarterback, was shifted to the No. one halfback spot to fill McCue's spot. Coach Mather said Marshall's running ability and fine defensive work have earned him a shot at the position.
With Wally Strauch and Dave Preston, manning the two quarterback positions, the shift of Marshall to halfback could also add a good run-pass play from the halfback spot.
Honer Floyd, No. one fullback, took part in dummy offensive work, but was still slowed by his charley-horse. Jerry Baker alternated with Floyd at the first team fullback spot and Joe Held was shifted to No. two fullback.
MU Works On Defense
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) Coach Don Faurot, working Missouri on defense against K-State's slit-T attack, warmed that the Tigers will have to improve week-by-week to stay in the Orange Bowl race.
Faurot told the squad Wednesday that Kansas_State was "equal in every respect" to Missouri. The squad went through rugged defensive drills after polishing plays and fundamentals.
K-State Strengthened
MANHATTAN, Kan. — (UP) — Coach Bux Meries is concentrating on defense to prepare for the K-State meeting with Missouri.
Warning the squad that Missouri is "One of the toughest teams to beat that we will meet," he said the Tigers are averaging 4.7 yards per try rushing.
Two seniors sidelined from the Nebraska game, Bill Carrington and Kerry Clifford, returned to the line-up Wednesday to bring the Wildcats as near full strength as they have all season.

Kappa Alpha Theta defeated the Jayettes 30 to 17 in a women's intramural basketball game Wednesday. Jane Heyle scored 12 points for the winners. Kay Rodrick totaled 11 points for the Jayettes. Gertrude Seillards Pearson freshmen forfeited to Alpha Chi Omega and North College forfeited to Watkins.
'Olympic Squad Looking Good'
LOS ANGELES—(UP)—The man on whose shoulders rest America's track and field hopes in the coming Olympic Games is completely optimistic today.
Coach Jim Kelly says morale is good and "everyone will equal or better his performance in the Olympic trials."
"Right now my biggest problem is getting he boys to stop their workouts so they won't over-train," he said.
He pointed out that the only doubtful starter at the Ontario, Calif., practice meet this weekend was quarter-miler Jim Lea, who is suffering from a strained tendon. Kelly believes it will heal before the athletes leave for Melbourne.
Most of the team reported here in fairly good shape," he said. "But a few are still trimming back into condition."
Kelly laid down the law to the team right after the Olympic trials in June. "Either be in condition or you'll be replaced by your alternate in your event."
Despite the fact the team is participating in two practice meets this weekend and next, Kelly won't let up in the workouts.
The genial Kelly, who is coach of the University of Minnesota track and field team, says:
"We're still going to get our 12 gold medals at Melbourne, and may be more. But I'll be happy to settle for 12."
Kansas Team High
In NAIA Average
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UP)—Arkansas State College of Jonesboro moved 1.133 yards to hold the team rushing lead in NAIA statistics released today.
The Arkansas powerhouse has averaged 377.7 yards for each of its three games for a slight margin over Mississippi Vocational of Itta Bena which has a 365-yard average in five games. Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina, was third with a 360.3 yard average for four games.
Top team in pass defense was Kansas Wesleyan with opponents completing only two of 32 attempts for a game average of 9.8 yards.
Bell, in a directive issued to the 12 league teams, said "all electronic devices, including walkie-talkies to the sidelines, hearing aids of any description used to receive messages, radio equipped helmets or any other device of this nature must be eliminated for the remainder of the season."
Radio Helmets Banned In Pro Football
PHILADELPHIA—(UP)—The use of radio and electronic equipment in helmets of National Football players was barred for the remainder of the season today by "unanimous consent of the 12 owners," Commissioner Bert Bell announced.
The University of Oklahoma has
had 32 all-American football players.
Three League Tilts Saturday
A 4-game slate in Big Seven football Saturday offers three conference games and one non-league tilt.
The mighty Oklahoma Sooners meet the Jayhawkers in Memorial Stadium, Missouri's Tigers will open their conference schedule against Kansas State at Manhattan, and Colorado meets Iowa State at Ames. Nebraska plays the only non-league tilt, meeting Indiana of the Big Ten at Lincoln.
KU Defeated OU Last
It's been a long time since Oklahoma lost to a Big Seven team. Loyal Jayhawks recall the last time the trick was turned in Memorial Stadium. A fourth quarter field goal by end Paul Turner gave Kansas a 16-13 victory over the 1946 Sooners. It gave Kansas a tie with Oklahoma for the then Big Six championship.
The game will show three of the conference's top scorers. Clendon Thomas of Oklahoma sets the pace with 42 points. Homer Floyd, KU sophomore, and 1955 All-American Tommy McDonald each have 30 points. Thomas is the league's leading ground gainer with 262 yards on 27 carries. Floyd is second in this department with 50 trips for 257 pounds.
Both Missouri and Kansas State have high hopes of winning this one. Missouri was the choice of the pollsters to represent the Big Seven in the Orange Bowl. The Tigers lost their first three games to strong outsiders, then bounced back to trim North Dakota State 42-0 last week.
MU Top Passing Team
MU Top Passing Team
Kansas State lost its first three games by wide margins, but came back strong to upset Nebraska 10-7 Saturday. Missouri took the no-hitter combination in quarterback Jimmy Hunter and halfback Charley James. Kansas State barely appears in the upper bracket of the statistical chart thus far, but the Wildcats won 21-0 at Columbia last year and will be after a repeat performance.
Iowa State has lost a couple of heartbreakers in the Big Seven to Nebraska and Kansas this season. Colorado has fine runners in Howard Cook and Bob Stransky and a power fullback, John Bayuk. Iowa State's John Scheldrup, 210-pound, 6 foot 4 end, is the conference's No. two pass receiver. Chuck Latting is a hard-hitting carrier.
Nebraska has been tangling with Big Ten teams for several decades, and there are few cases on record where the Cronhuskers failed to make it a genuine contest. Fullback Jerry Brown offers a strong Husker threat up the middle. LaVerne Torcezon, an all-conference guard last season, is key man in another potentially powerful Nebraska defense.
Senators May Move
H. Gabriel Murphy, a Washington insurance broker who own 40 per cent of the Senators' stock, is the only board member definitely known to be against a shift. Murphy threatened last week "to sue in every court in the land" to block transferring the Senators to another city.
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Calvin Griffith pondered three offers to shift Washington's baseball franchise today while one newspaper appealed directly to President Eisenhower to "save our Senators."

Same Runners To Start
Cross Country Faces Tough Teams In Triangular Meet
The Kansas cross-country team will run into a severe test here Saturday, hosting the Chicago Track Club and Drake University in a triangular meet prior to the Kansas-Oklahoma football game.
The Jayhawkers will send the same seven runners to the starting line that ran in the Missouri meet. Leading the Kansas crew will be Capt. Jan Howell. Other runners will be Jerry McNeal, Barry Crawford, Bernie Gay, Bob Nicholson, Verlyn Schmidt, and Lowell Janzen.
The meet will start on the baseball field at 12:50 p.m. and finish on the east side of the stadium approximately 15 minutes later.
Kansas swept the first seven places at Columbia. Coach Easton said that Kansas might not have completed the "grand slam" if Sophomore Jim Sanders of the Tigers had not sprained his ankle. "He was up with the leaders until that happened," Easton said.
Rough Competition
The Chicago Track Club, composed of former college and high school track stars, along with Drake, is expected to give the Jayhawkers tougher competition than the Missouri Tigers did last week, according to Coach Bill Easton.
The first five mentioned all finished under 16 minutes at Missouri. Janzen placed seventh but Coach Easton said he would have done much better if he had not had an upset stomach.
Leading the Chicago Track Club will be Ben Almaquer, former Notre Dame captain and 17 place finisher in the NCAA 10,000 meter race last year. Merle Crouse, formerly of Bridgewater, Conn. Teachers and a Chicago Club member, was 21st in the same race.
Chicago Team Strong
Others on the team are Bob Kelly, former Chicago Loyola ace, and third in the 1955 NAAU cross-country; Roger Reynolds, former Chicago prep mile champion; Ray Menzie, former Mississippi State
captain, and Steve Murphy, who ran as low as 4.11 in the mile and 1.51 in the half mile as a serviceman last year.
Running for Drake, coached by Bob Karnes, a track star under Easton here in the late forties, will be Phil Howrey, Sylvester Robertson, Carl Riddel, Harry Blusys, Dick Waxy, Bob Sweeney, and Jim Smith.
Cyclones Beat Drake
Drake defeated Minnesota and lost to Iowa State in a double dual at Ames last Saturday.
It is not known when veteran Hal Long will return to action.
