Fresh from the biggest-scoring tie in its history, a 27-27 deadlock with favored College of Pacific, Kansas guns into its 1956 Big Seven season here Saturday against favored Colorado. Kickoff time at Memorial stadium is 1:30 p.m. with 25,000 fans expected to attend.
Colorado is the only conference team to shutout Kansas each of the last two seasons. The Buffaloes inflicted a 27-0 clubbing two years ago to bag their first win of all-time in Lawrence. Last year wing-back Dick Harkins broke a scoreless battle after three quarters with two late reverses.
Flogged, 0-35, in its opener by Oregon, the Buffers pulled one of the highest rebounds in league history last Saturday by demolishing Kansas State, 34-0, in Boulder. Now the Buffs are shooting for an unprecedented three straight over Kansas, a feat neither team ever has brought off in the history of the series.
CU Offense Different
For the third consecutive week the Jayhawks will be confronted by a widely-different offense. They opened against TCU's belly-series, going down, 0-32. COP presented a professional-type Spread-T. Now comes Colorado with the multiple offense, listing heavily to the trusted single-wing which Coach Dal Ward has affected since assuming the Boulder reins in 1948.
Buff's Passing Good
The Buffaloes again have John (The Beast) Bayuk bucking his 217 pounds with devastating power from fullback, and unearthed two new threats at the halves against Kansas State in Howard Cook and Eddie Dove. Cook intercepted a pass to start a 20-point third-quarter flurry, then drove home two scores by passing 57 yards and six yards for touchdowns. Dove scored once on a 27-yard reverse and was the day's leading rusher with 73 yards in only five carries.
More significant for Kansas is the fact Colorado harbors three sharp passers in Cook, and quarterbacks Dick Hyson and Boyd Dowler. Cook leaped to third on the conference tables after his 63-yard effort against State. Hyson has only one completion to date, but finished fourth last season on 358 yards. Dowler has completed three of four to date, and was heralded as the finest long tosser in CU history as a freshman last year.
Stamch, aground agansti both TCU and COP, Kansas is trailing the conference in total defense because of weakness against aerial attacks. TCU hit the Jay-hawkers for one touchdown and 279 yards. COP followed with three payoff strikes and 232 yards.
Featuring the pass-run option from tailback and rollouts from the T-quarterbacks, Colorado poses scarcely less a problem than did TCU's Chuck Curtis and COP's double-barrelled shotgun of Tom Flores and Jim Reynosa.
KU Passing Must Improve
The Jayhawks also have patchwork to do on their own air game. Once the throwing terror of the Midlands, they have completed only two of 24 tosses for 48 yards through their first two games.
They may get a lift in the passing with the probable return to action of Wally Strauch against CU. The Elmhurst, Ill. junior trained only Missouri's Dave Doane last year with 498 of completions. He has been sidelined almost a month with a lame knee.
Coach Mather said Thursday that Strouch would definately see action.
Colorado now leads the league by virtue of its win over K-State and can take a firm grip by defeating Kansas. The Jayhawkers must win this one if they are to climb in the first division race.
LEADING TACKLER—Left end Lynn McCarthy, the late August victim of a stabbing in Kansas City, is expected to return to action in Saturday's Big Seven opener against Colorado. Although he will not start, the tremendous desire to play which he has shown in practice this week has entitled him to see action, said Coach Chuck Mather. Last year, the St. Peter, Minn. junior led KU in tackles with 35 singles and 16 assists. He also caught seven passes for 95 yards, as well as the winning touchdown against Missouri.
Big Week In College Football

The "big" game on Saturday's schedule will find second-ranked Michigan State baiting the fourth-ranked Michigan wolverines in their own lair. The Spartans, led by their flash left half-back, Clarence (Hi) Peaks, are three-point favorites.
Fifth-ranked Ohio State will entertain Stanford and seventh-ranked Pittsburgh visits California, while other major intersectionals include Mississippi-Houston, Southern California-Wisconsin, Southern Methodist-Missouri, Baylor-Maryland, Tulane-Northwestern, Iowa-Oregon State, Illinois-Washington, LSU-Rice and Texas-West Virginia.
Top-ranked Oklahoma opens its bid for another Big Seven championship against Kansas State. The Soomers are such a heavy choice to score their 32nd straight victory that no odds were quoted on this game.
In Saturday's nationally televised game, sixth-ranked Texas Christian will meet Arkansas in a southwest conference battle at Fort Worth.
Klu Not Up For Trade, Redleg Manager Says
NEW YORK—(UP)—Gabe Paul, vice president and general manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs, today, ridiculed a report first basemale Ted Kluszewski of the Redlegs has been offered as trade bait to other National League teams.
The Uew York Daily News said it had learned the husky, former home run king might be traded for a "good" pitcher, possibly Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies.
"I won't dignify any story like that with a comment." Paul barked angrily "I've seen it and nowhere in history is it more mentioned. It's utterly ridiculous."
It's utterly ridiculous.
