Fumbles Help Kansas Beat Iowa State 25-14
Kansas took advantage of Iowa State fumbles Saturday at Ames to gain their first Big Seven win 25-14 and start Orange Bowl hopes flickering in Jayhawker land again.
The Jayhawkers now stand 1-19 in Big Seven play and have an overall record of 1-12.
Kansas Gets Early Lead
Saturday's game featured numerous fumbles by both teams, but KU made better use of the Cyclone's bobbles in gaining the victory.
Kansas Gets Early Lead The Kansas jumped into a quick lead in the first quarter after Iowa State fumbled KU's first pout on the Cyclone 15 yard line and Homer Floyd recovered. Dave Preston plunged over from the one to give KU a 6-0 lead.
It appeared as though the Jayhawkers were going to give the TD back to the Iowans when a low pitchout was recovered by Iowa State on the KU 19 yard line late in the first quarter. But a hard charging KU line and alert pass defense on the part of Bobby Robinson stopped the Cyclones. Joe Heldt also made a nice save when he escaped a Cyclone blocker and made a tackle on a play that very likely would have meant a touchdown.
After two bobbles, one by each team, a quick kick to the KU 22 set up the longest scoring drive of the day. The key play in the 78 yard touchdown drive was a 40 yard pass from Wally Strauch to Jim Lectavits. Homer Floyd went nine yards for the score only nine plays after the drive had started.
A Kansas punt bounded out on the Jayhawker 27 to set up Iowa State's first half score. Phil Hill passed nine yards to Gale Gibson for the score and John Schedlump converted making the score 7-12.
Poor Punt Aids Cyclones
Iowa State took advantage of a 25 mile an hour wind in the second half to gain their only lead of the day. A 34 yard pass with the wind from Hill to Prentise and a conversion by Scheldrup combined to give the Cyclones a 12-14 lead.
KU's Jim Hull recovered an Iowa State fumble on the Cyclone's 38 yard line to set up the Hawk's third tally. Two beautiful passes from Strauch covered the 38 yards. Lectavits caught the touchdown aerial from 10 yards out. Strauch converted to move the Jayhawkers into the lead. 19-14.
The final Jawhawker touchdown just added a little more icing to the cake. With the seconds ticking by the Iowaans tried a fourth down desperation pass on their own four yard line. It fell incomplete and with only three seconds left in the game Homer Floyd went over for the touchdown from the three yard line.
On the dim side of the picture, Galen Wahlmeier, KU captain and center, suffered a bad back injury and is expected to be out of action for two weeks. Ernie Russell suffered a knee injury, but the extent of the injury has not been determined.

Cross-Country Beats Missouri

Oklahoma, Michigan State Battle For National Crown
Bv UNITED PRESS
Oklahoma or Michigan State? Which team do you think will wind up as college football's national champion this season?
Well, don't bet the rent money on either team until at least two more weeks, or until the results are in on their forthcoming games with Notre Dame.
Once the kingpins of college football themselves, the Irish have gotten off to one of their worst seasons in many years and now face the nightmarish task of playing Michigan State and Oklahoma on successive Saturday.
For the first time in four years the American League placed more men on the Sporting News All-Star team than the NationaLeague did. The junior circuit placed seven.
The selections of Ted Williams set a record, breaking his ten-time tie with Stan Musial of the Cardinals.
Michigan State Meets Irish Duff Daugherty's speedy Spartans get first crack at Notre Dame next Saturday at South Bend, and then the Irish must entertain Bud Wilkinson's "Shut-out kids" from Oklahoma the following weekend.
Williams Sets All-Star Mark
The 1956 team:
Ted Kluszewski, Cincinnati, first base; Nellie Fox, Chicago White Sox, second base; Harvey Kuenn, Detroit, shortstop; Ken Boyer, St. Louis, third base; Ted Williams, Boston; Mickey Mantle, New York Yankees, and Hank Aaron, Milwaukee, outfielders; Billy Pierce, Chicago White Sox, Whitey Ford, New York Yankees and Don Newcombe, Brooklyn, pitchers, and Yogi Berra, New York Yankees, catcher.
Iowa State will have the use of 14 returning lettermen when they face KU Saturday at Ames.
Considering their recent form, the Irish won't stand a chance against either Michigan or Oklahoma, but the results of these games should provide the experts with a yard-stick for future reference.
Michigan, meanwhile, bounced back from its loss to Michigan State by capitalizing on six fumbles to beat the cadets, 48-14. It was the most points ever scored against an Earl Brall-coached army team.
At this stage of the season, it is almost impossible to choose between Oklahoma and Michigan State, although the Sooners would appear to have a slight edge statistically speaking. Including Last Saturday's 45-0 rout of Texas, Oklahoma now has rolled up 147 points in posting three straight shutouts.
Michigan State has scored 83 points and given up 13 in its first three games, including its most recent 53-6 romp over Indiana.
Powers Upset
It was "black Saturday" also for such perennial powers as Navy, Notre Dame, West Virginia and Texas A&M. Quarterback Gene Newton's two touchdown passes helped Tulane upset Navy, 21-6; Purdue handed Notre Dame its second defeat in three games, 28-14; Jim Brown's running once again carried Syracuse to a 27-20 triumph over West Virginia, and underdog Houston held Texas A&M to a 14-14 tie.
Other top-ranked teams bowled over their opponents with savage displays of power. Tennessee didn't even star Tailback Johnny Majors in blasting Chattanooga, 42-20; Ohio State ripped Illinois, 28-6; halfback Ken Wineburg tallied twice as Texas Christian downed Alabama, 23-6; Georgia Tech rambled to a 39-7 victory over LSU, and Mississippi blanked Vanderbilt, 16-0.
