Passing Texans Stop Hawks,32-0
Caught with their pass defense down, the Kansas Jayhawks fell before versatile Texas Christian University 32-0 Saturday at Memorial Stadium before a crowd of 28,000 fans.
It was the good right arm of 6 foot 4, 200 pound quarterback Charles Curtis that did the trick. Curtis rained 12 out of 17 passes into the arms of waiting receivers. Five times he hit Jimmy SWink, TCU's 1955 All-American for long gains, several setting up scores.
In the running department Swink had the spotlight stolen from him. Boxed in on almost every play, he gained only 33 yards all afternoon, the lowest rushing mark for the slick running Horn Frog in two yeers.
Wineburg Stars
Ken Wineburg, a 190 pound half-back with good speed, took over the rushing chores and come up with 141 yards in 13 carries. Wineburg also caught three passes good for 34 yards, made the day's best run with an 80 yard junt, and scored three touchdowns.
Longest Jayhawk ramble was 38 yards by Homer Floyd, sophomore fullback.
Stopped up the middle and man for man equaled in line play, the Frogs took to the air early in the contest. KU's pass defense was caught napping time after time, and the Frogs had little trouble moving by way of the air. Staying on the ground when close to the goal, they scored only one touchdown on a pass.
Fullback Buddy Dike and Wineburg punched out the most consistent yardage on the Frog's power plays, and Wineburg grabbed a lot of yardage around end and off tackle.
Curtis Shows Coolness
Curtis, playing his last year, showed the cool head of an experienced field general. Taking a lot of time passing he went down with the ball several times rather than throw in into too much cover. He mixed his plays well and as a ball handler he was deceptive and reliable.
KU's Galen Wahlmeier, center starred for the losers as did Floyd and Dave Preston. quarterback. Preston boomed a 53 yard kick in his only punting attempt.
Williams, Dike Score
TCU received the opening kickoff and never gave up possession of the ball. They marched 72 yards for the first tally. Winebure went over from the two. In the second quarter Winebure again went over from the two after a 71 yard march. On the second play of the third quarter, Winebure scored his third straight touchdown on an 80 yard run.
© Day Williams scored later in the third period on a pass from Curtis. Williams went over from 15 yards out to climax a sustained drive of 79 yards. Dike went over from the six to round out the scoring. His fourth quarter carry ended a 65 yard Frog march.
It wasn't the Jayhawk's day in the air at all. Besides giving up 279 yards to air plays they failed to complete a single pass in ten tries. They moved fairly well on the ground but didn't have the punch on key plays. Fumbles cost them the ball three times.

Dick Finney, who last year guided the Purple in the Cotton Bowl to victory, has left the up-back slot and is now behind Jim Swink at the left-half.
Despite building pains at Kansas Coach Chuck Mather's winning pace is still as high as .727 with 114 games won, 34 lost and 6 tied.

Mantle Regains Lead In Batting
Mickey Mantle cracked out a double and a game-winning single Saturday to inch ahead of Ted Williams in their American League batting title duel as the New York Yankees edged the Boston Red Sox, 2-1.
Mantle now has a .3543 average to William's .3526.
Mickey collected two hits in three trips plus a walk while the Red Sox slugger went hitless in four trips and drew a free pass. Williams needs 20 more times at bat in Boston's remaining six games to achieve the minimum 400 for championship consideration.
College Grid Teams To Run, Not Pass
By UNITED PRESS
College football isn't likely to be quite as exciting to the spectators this season. The reason: De-emphasis on passing and stress on "meatgrinder" ground attack. The trend began last season when some of the nation's outstanding teams achieved their success with little resort to passing. They included Ohio State, UCLA, Maryland, Oklahoma and even Notre Dame. This year, many top teams are expected to play it close to the vest and emphasize "ball control" rather than the more spectacular forward pass.

College Football
The Oklahoma Sooners lost only five starters of last year, including the left side of the line, and will have 29 lettermen returning.
Ray Evans, great Kansas left half from Wyandotte in Kansas City leads the Jayhawkers in almost every passing department.
Bob Marshall Figures Highly In KU's Hopes
Through the 1955 football season Oklahoma University's Sooners have scored in 106 consecutive games.
One of the leading figures in KU's hopes for an improved record in the Big Seven this year is Bob Marshall, sophomore quarterback on the Jayhawk team.

CORRALED HORNED FROG—Jim Swink, Texas Christian's All-American halfback, failed to live up to his press raves Saturday as the tough Kansas forward wall held him to only 33 yards on the ground. Swink, however, set up several of TCU's touchdowns on long pass plays. Jim Hull, KU's first string tackle, teams up with an unidentified Jayhawk to bring Swink down after a short gain. TCU won, 32-0.
One of the alternating quarterbacks for Kansas in Saturday's game, Marshall has improved fast this year after quarterbacking the Jayhawk frosh to a 2-1 record last year.
Coach Chuck Mather said, "Marshall has great potential as a quarterback. He possesses good size, speed, has a keen desire to excel, and has come along very quickly in varsity ball."
Marshall's football experience started at Warrensburg, Mo., where he was a three year letterman in high school. He gained all-state honors in his senior year there.
Possibly Marshall's greatest handicap in his first year of varsity action will be his lack of experience. "He does have one distinct advantage though," Mathier said. "Quarterbacks these days often can play only offense. One of Marshall's strongest points is his defensive play."
When asked why he chose KU, Marshall said, "I felt that KU was starting a new regime in football, and I would like to be a part of that regime. The feeling that I received was that if anyone could beat Oklahoma it would be Kansas."
There is no doubt that Marshall has an attitude that will help him a great deal. He said, "Barring injuries, I think KU has a good chance to play in the Orange Bowl."
Marshall is a member of the Sigma Nu social fraternity and is majoring in civil engineering.
In the all-time Big Seven standings Missouri is second to Oklahoma, with 28 games won, 18 lost, and 2 tied, and with 985 points scored to the opposition's 839.
In 13 previous games KU has scored a total of only 74 points against TCU while the Frogs have tallied a whopping 222.
Big Seven Teams Lose 4 Of 5 Saturday
Big Seven football teams were able to win only one out of five gridiron contests last Saturday, a poor record for a conference generally thought to be tough.
Biggest disappointment was Missouri's 19-13 loss to Oregon State, a team that the Tigers were favored to beat by six points. Kansas State, the only other league team favored to win, was ambushed by a group of sophomore cowboys from Oklahoma A & M, 27-6.
Nebraska won the only game of the day, beating South Dakota State 34-6. Kansas and Colorado lost to complete the weekend play.
