Summer Session Kansan
Fridav. July 14, 1961
By Chuck Morelock
Little frustrations can sometimes drive a fellow nuts. This applies to football as well as life in general.
Back in 1950, for example, Kansas fielded one of its better team but could only post a modest 6-4 record. That year featured the great running of sophomore halfback Charley Hoag and senior halfback Wade Stinson. Together, they helped Kansas finish fourth nationally in rushing offense but unfortunately Kansas could finish no higher than fourth in league play.
The losses came at the hands of TCU, 14-7; Oklahoma 33-13, Missouri 20-6, and Nebraska, 33-26. In the TCU game, Hoag broke a 7-7 tie late in the fourth quarter with a dazzling 93 yard burst up the middle but alas, the play was called back by a holding penalty. The Frogs then took advantage of an intercepted pass and threw one of their own for the winning TD.
FORTY THOUSAND FANS were on hand for the OU clash and for three quarters, KU seemed to have the upset of the year in the making. The Hawks scored first near the end of the half on a long pass play, upped the margin to 13-0 with Stinson's 71-yard TD run on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, and were headed for a third score when the big break occurred.
Hoag was knocked out of action thereby throwing all the load onto Stinson. From that point on, KU wilted and OU rolled, thanks to quarterback Claude Arnold's passing. Had Hoag stayed in the game, the final outcome might have been different.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE FRUSTRATION BOOK was written at homecoming in a wide open offensive battle with Nebraska. Both teams had superb backfields, but a second string Cornhusker guard, Rex Hoy, won the game for the Huskers with a freak 73-yard interception.
The mishap resulted when KU quarterback Chet Strehlow faded back to pass then was hit by onrushing NU linemen. The ball squirted up in the air where Hoy grabbed it and raced untouched for the score.
In the Missouri game, Kansas fumbled the ball all over the place to suffer its fourth setback. Conditions were so bad that day that only a handful of fans were left in the stadium as the final quarter got underway with the temperature reading a numbing 17 degrees. As a result, Hoag, Stinson and Co. rambled at will all day but couldn't hold onto the ball whenever the Hawkers threatened.
All in all, KU could have had an undefeated season with a few more breaks. But that's the way the ball bounces sometimes.
KU
WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, the latest Football Guide which hit the newsstands this week, has some optimistic words for KU fans. According to writer Maury White of the Des Moine Register-Tribune, "Coach Jack Mitchell's Jayhawkers meet TCU Wyoming, Colorado, Iowa State and Oklahoma while Coan is ineligible, but they have almost everyone back who really counted. plus good freshman help. Returning are All America John Hadi and all-conference halfback Curtis McClinton. Hugh Smith will be given a trial at left half. If Hadl is needed at halfback, Roger McFarland is a proven quarterback. The rushing should be terrific, the passing better."
"Ends Larry Allen and Mike Deer, tackles Larry Lousch and Stan Kirshman, guards Benny Boydston (since shifted to end) and Elvin Basham and center Kent Staab head up a veteran line."
White also points out that the 1960 season was the greatest ever for the Big Eight, mainly because Oklahoma's long-time empire finally crumbled, and that the picture is bright for '61. "Kansas," says White, "should be stronger with or without Coan; Missouri will be good again, despite losing seven starters, and Oklahoma will be better."
YOU'VE ALSO GOT TO CONSIDER COLORADO AND IOWA State. The Buffs, with quarterback Gail Weidner back in the saddle for the third time, will be tough and so will I-State. Once a football patsy, the Cyclones have turned over a new leaf of late. For the past two years, they've had a terrific rushing attack and foes will be in for more punishment this year.
Iowa State will meet Kansas in Lawrence this year in what should be an interesting game. Although KU's 1961 home schedule isn't as tough as last year, none of the invaders will be pushovers, with the possible exception of Kansas State. And the Cats will be improved.
Wyoming can't be lightly regarded, even though it plays in a weaker league. Oklahoma State could be troublesome too, if the Cowpokes can find an offense to match their stubborn defense.
AS FOR MISSOURI—well, no comment is needed.
Still, Kansas has the horses to go all the way barring bad breaks and the NCAA. Toughest game on the schedule, outside of the Missouri affair, will be with Oklahoma at Norman. The Sooners held the Jayhawkers to a 13-13 tie last fall, in a game that was eitherOU's best or KU's worst, depending on your point of view.
The Sooners ripped through the Kansas line like the Sooners of old that day, although KU should have won by a couple of touchdowns with a little more luck.
