University of Kansas Coach Chuck Mather hoped to bolster the Jayhawkers with two players who haven't seen action yet this year in Saturday's important game with the invading Colorado Buffaloes.
Injured Men Rejoin Kansas
He said Wally Strauch, number 2 passes in the Big Seven last fall and Lynn McCarthy, Kansas' best defensive player a year ago, would probably see action for the first time.
Cats Off Fee Norman
The Jayhawks went through dummy drills on offense and defense against the Buffs' single wine offense Thursday.
Cats Off For Normal MANHATTAN, Kan. - (UP) Kansas State College's Wildcats will leave behind only senior full-back Bill Carrington and sophomore center Chuck Sprinkle when they leave today for Norman, Okla., for Saturday's game with Oklahoma.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) — Missouri's Tigers Thursday worked on passing, a phase of their attack which hasn't shown much improvement, as they finished preparations for the Southern Methodist Mustangs' invasion Saturday.
Tigers vs. Mustangs
Two of the Tigers' main passers, quarterbacks Dave Doane and Jim Hunter, who have accounted for all but 11 of Missouri's 105 yards gained through the air so far this season, practiced long passes.
Coach Bus Mertes said junior guard Ellis Rainsberger and sophomore center Jerry Sand will make the trip although both have been sidelined from most practices this week due to injuries.
Big Seven's Roundup
Iowa State-Nebraska — Both teams were beaten by Big Ten teams last week, but they should be ready to put on another thriller such as last year, when Nebraska won 10-7 and went on to finish second in the standings. Iowa State has a classy back in Chuck Latting, who scored two touchdowns against Northwestern and has 18 points for the conference scoring lead. Nebraska's inexperienced backs have gained considerable know-how against Ohio State.
Kansas State- Oklahoma— Kansas State has taken two sound whippings, and it's tough to have Oklahoma as the third opponent, but Coach Bus Mertes insists his Wildcats are better than they have shown. Oklahoma will be after its 32nd consecutive victory and has sufficient talent to get the job done. The Sooners sophomore crop is one of the finest in years, not to mention such fellows as All-America Tommy McDonald, Clendon Thomas, and Billy Priceer. The Sooners won last year 40-7.
SMU-Missouri— Missouri will be the underdog in this one, but Tiger followers can recall the 1948 season, when Coach Don Faurot's lads upset SMU and the great Doak Walker 20-14 at Columbia. At Dallas last year SMU edged the Tigers 13-6. This could be the afternoon Missouri's big sophomore halfbacks, Charles James and Hank Kuhlmann get the Tigers rolling.
COLORADO AERIALIST — Dick Hyson, whose passing arm was Colorado's most potent punch a year ago, is back but has connected for only one pass, good for 36 yards, against Oregon State. Hyson, who often teams up with Franke Clarke for a top passing combination, returned this year with a sore arm but it was healed before the first game.
Country' Gets Series Share
BROOKLYN — (UP) — Enos
(Country) Slaughter, already voted
a half-share by his Yankee team-
mates, can make it a full one with
"a good series," and if he does,
he'll have Casey Stengel to thank.
Generous as usual in their splitting up of the World Series melon, the Yankee players decided to give Slaughter half a share even though he joined them from Kansas City on Aug. 26 and appeared in only 23 games for the Yanks.
Stengel, long an admirer of Slaughter's hustle and his 100 percent effort for any club he has played with, felt Enos deserved a full share and told the players so. It was finally decided to wait and see how the 40-year old ex-Cardinal performed against the Dodgers in the series.
Slaughter, unaware of Casey's intercession for him because he wasn't present when the shares were being voted, got off to a fine start against Brooklyn in the opener Wednesday, rapping out three hits even though the Yankees lost.
High Scores Highlight Women's IM
Twelve teams played Wednesday in the women's intramurals in Robinson Gym. Gertrude Sellars Pearson trounced Pi Beta Phil 40 to 24. Charlene Woodard, junior, scored 20 points for G. S. P. Ellen Proudfit, Kansas City, Kan, sopohomore, was high scorer for the Pi Phi's with 14 points.
Watkins beat Alpha Delta Pi 26 to 10. Mary Spena, Lecompton junior, scored 16 points for Watkins while Betty Alexander, Onawa, Iowa sophomore scored 6 points for the losers.
Kay Rodrick, Independence sophomore scored 17 points to help the Jayettes beat Alpha Chi Omega 29 to 16. Sara Hahn, Prairie Village junior scored 11 points for Alpha Chi Omega.
Mary J. Walterscheid; Coffey-
Kappa Alpha Theta beat Sellards Hall 18 to 9. Judith Jones, Wellington junior scored 7 points for Kappa Alpha Theta. Shirley Stout was high scorer on the Sellards team with 7 points.
ville senior scored 6 points to help Delta Delta Delta win over Gertrude Sellards Pearson freshmen 14 to 13. Linda McAllister, freshman, scored 5 points for G. S. P.
NEW YORK — (UP) — Joseph W. Haynes, vice president of the Washington Senators, today branded a report that the American League team might shift its franchise to the West Coast next season as "absolutely nonsense and pure conjecture."
Senators Deny West Coast Move
Delta Gamma beat Douthart 15 to 5. Merlin Parsons, Kansas City junior made 9 points for Delta Gamma. Sophomores Eunice Jones, Sabeth, and Gayle Kinemond, Bushton, each scored 2 points for Douthart. Home town addresses were not available for Linda McAllister and Charlene Woodard.
The Washington Post and Times Herald, in a story date-lined from New York, said that club president Calvin Griffith is considering the move, probably to Los Angeles. It added that it was also understood that San Francisco was bidding for the franchise.
University Daily Kansan
"It is true that Mr. Griffith was in California recently and this undoubtedly was what gave rise to the story," Haynes added. "However, he was there only on a scouting trip, just as he also went to the Midwest to scout teams in that area."
Griffith was not available for comment but Haynes, a former pitcher for the Senators, said the story "is just newspaper talk."
The Colorado Buffalos have its two leading rushers of 1955 back this season. They are John Bayuk and Jack Bocker.
