Hope Is High That Preston Will Be Ready
The Jayhawks, described by Coach Chuck Mather "as nearly physically ready as possible." planned a final light drill Thursday before meeting All-American Jimmy Swink and Texas Christian University.
Mather said he would take the team to Topeka to await the game, following the scrimmage and a pep rally.
The Jayhawks went through light drills yesterday, including extra point and kickoff practice.
Hopes were high that Dave Preston, first string quarterback who injured a knee Wednesday, would be ready for at least limited use.
Wally Strauch, letterman quarerback out with injuries, will suit up and be ready to try for extra points, Mather said.
Mather said he hoped plans to alternate two units would help in the game but "anytime you meet the champions of the Southwest Conference you can expect it to be tough."
MANHATTAN, Kan., — (UP) — The Kansas State Wildcats are at full strength for the opener with Oklahoma A. and M., and Coach Bus Mertes said he planned to start ten lettermen and a sophomore.
Cats At Full Strength
The only green hand will be Chuck Sprinkle, a 199-pound sophomore center from Hutchinson.
The Wildcats ran through dummy scrimmage yesterday, polishing play patterns, punting and defense, in a final tuneup for the game.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) — The Missouri Tigers wound up drills for the opener against Oregon State with practice on specialties—punt returns, blocking punts, and defense against the quick kick. Thursday.
Tigers Practice Specialties
The Tigers get a day of rest today before meeting the Oregon State Beavers, second in the Pacific Coast Conference last year.
The Kansas Jayhawks are slated to play two teams this year who are predicted to be rated as one of the top 10 teams in the country.
Coach Don Faurot has listed his probable starting backfield as Jimmy Hunter, Quarterback, Sonny Stringer and Charley James Halfbacks, and George Cramer, fullback.
SI Contends TCU Not SWC Leader
Sports Illustrated's third specia football issue, written by Herman Hickman, ex-Yale coach and former All-American at Tennessee, fails to rate Kansas' Saturday rival, Texas Christian University, as one of the nation's 11 football teams.
Instead, the Southwest Conference is represented, as far as SI is concerned, by Texas A & M. Comprising the other 10 outstanding teams, listed in alphabetical order by SI. are: Army, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, Michigan State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Yale.
JAYHAWK CAPTAIN—Captain-center Galen Wahlmeier, senior and former Dodge City Junior College football star, will lead Kansas' gridiron efforts this season. Wahlmeier is being groomed as KU's entry on the All-Big Seven team this fall.

Big Seven Gridiron Teams Open Season With 5 Games
Five Big Seven grid squads open the 1956 football season tomorrow and will be trying to improve over their last year's record of losing 5 of 7 openers.
Iowa State and Oklahoma have an open date this week, but the Cyclones go into action September 29 against Northwestern at Evanson and Bud Wilkinson's Sooners
Only Oklahoma's national championship Sooners and the Colorado Buffaloes came out on top on opening day, 1955.
ACME LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS
Colorado's Buffers, who last year defeated Arizona, 14-0, in their first game, take on Oregon at Boulder tomorrow afternoon. In 1955, the Buffaloes, who were slated to finish second behind Oklahoma, claimed the third spot in the conference behind the Sooners and Nebraska.
Missouri, after being edged 13-12 by Maryland's '55 Orange Bowl team, will seek to get the season off to a good start at Columbia tomorrow, as the Tigers go against Oregon State, second in the Pacific Coast Conference last year.
Kansas again goes against TCU in the initial bout but Jim Swink and Co. are favored to repeat a 1955 victory even if the Jayhawk squad is reported greatly improved.
