Colorado Beats KU By Extra Point, 26-25
A parents' day crowd of 20,000 was convinced Saturday in Memorial Stadium that the extra point is still a major factor in determining the outcome of a football game. In this instance an extra point gave the Colorado Buifaloes a 26-25 victory over the Kansas team, and kept the Buffs on top of the Big Seven standings with a 2-0 record.

KU had the game tied after scoring its fourth touchdown when Galen Wahlmeier toed his first extra point attempt, but an illegal procedure penalty on KU forced him to try again and this time the conversion attempt was missed. That point, combined with the penalty was the Buffs margin of victory.
CU Swipe Score
Excitement in the high scoring contest started early when KU took the opening kickoff and was forced to punt after 3 downs. The kick went out of bounds on the Hawks 26. CU moved to the KU five yard line, but on fourth and 1.situation the Javhawkers held and took over.
The Buffs were forced to punt after the kickoff and KU took over on their 47. On the first play Charlie McCue streaked around right end for 30 yards to the CU 17. But the Hawks drive stalled and the Buffs drove 73 yards for a touchdown. The conversion was good and Colorado led 14-7 with 7 min. left in the first half.
KU came back after the kickoff with an 80-yard sustained drive for a TD. Bob Marshall plunged over from the one to score, and Wahlmeier converted to make it 7-7.
Seconds later Colorado end Jerry Leahy grabbed the ball from Dave Preston's arms and went over from the 5 yard line. Ellwin Indorf converted to make it 7-0.
A Wally Strauch pass to Homer Floyd for 20 yards cut the CU lead to 14-13 at halftime.
Second Half Rocky
KU started quickly in the second half, taking the opening kickoff and driving 72 yards for a TD. Floyd exploded over left guard and streaked 36 yards down the left sideline for the score.
An intercepted pass which CU returned to the KU 37 set up the next Buff touchdown. Howard Cook dove over from the two to give the Buffaloes a 20-19 third quarter lead. CU struck early in the fourth period for their final TD. Third string left half, Bob Stransky, darted 80 yards down the sideline for the final CU 6 points.
KU Drives for Score
The Jayhawkers came right back to drive 67 yards for a score. McCue broke through a nice hole on the left side to gain the final 16 yards. Then came the fatal penalty and conversion miss which gave Colorado the victory.
After forcing CU to punt the Hawks started another good drive, but it was halted on the Buff 43 when two consecutive passes fell incomplete. The Buffaloes ran out the remaining 1:53 seconds to gain the close decision.
One of the brightest spots in the loss was the fine play of McCue. He gained 103 yards in 10 carries for the Hawks. The return of Straugh also boosted the KU passing attack. He completed 3 for 8 for a total of 56 yards.

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young mathematician helps pace engineering advances
Recently General Electric developed a compact, new motor for industrial use. But before the motor could be put into automatic production, one difficulty remained: to design a protective end shield that would confine any possible explosion to the motor itself.
The man who solved the tough mathematical problems involved is R.A. "Pete" Powell a mathematical analyst whose job is to assist other engineers in math problems which arise in any number of different projects.
27,000 College Graduates at General Electric
Powell's Work Is Varied and Important
When "Pete" Powell came to General Electric in 1953, he already knew the kind of work he wanted to do. Like each of our 27,000 college-graduate employees, he is being given the chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: Whenever fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits - the individual, the Company, and the country.
Because he is not tied down to any one project, Powell seldom has two similar assignments. Taking established engineering and mathematical principles, some of them extremely complicated, Powell applies them to advanced engineering problems. In doing this, Pete is able to make such calculations as the distortion of a small part of a jet engine caused by vibrations, the deflection occurring in a turbine part when it runs at operational speeds, or the forces exerted upon a rotating shaft by lubricants.
