University Daily Kansan SPORTS Morris Moves To No.1 Team
Even after their 13-7 victory over Kansas State Saturday, there was much concern in the Jayhawker camp Monday to try to find capable hands to fill in for KU's top two quarterbacks, Bob Marshall and Wally Strauch.
Chuck Mather said Strauch, who suffered a broken hand Saturday, is definitely out for the season. Marshall, who reinjured his knee in his first appearance since early in the season, has only a slight chance to see any more action this season.
Duane Morris will take over the first team quarterback duties with Larry McKown running the second unit. Morris, although listed as a third stringer, threw both of KU's touchdown passes Saturday. Moving up to the third unit is sophomore Roger Boeger, who has seen no action this year.
The Jayhawkers held only light drills Monday, then heard a scouting report on Oklahoma State and watched the KU-K-State movies.
Huskers Face Poorest Season
LINCOLN, Neb. — (UP) — Nebraska faced its poorest season in history today, barring at least one victory in its two remaining games.
The Cornhuskers, now possessing a 1-7 record, face Oklahoma and Colorado on successive Saturdays. Coaches, meanwhile, said Monday the team received only two minor injuries in the I-State loss and both players figured to see service against Colorado.
Nebraska is also battling to prevent a Big Eight cellar finish, a dubious distinction it has never suffered.
Wildcats Still 'Recuperating'
MANHATTAN, Kan. — (UP) — Kansas State, victimized in a 13-7 loss to rival Kansas by a play even KU Coach Chuck Mather acknowledged illegal, planned light workouts this week before meeting Missouri.
Coach Bus Mertes said the drills would give the Wildeats a "chance to recuperate from their heartbreaking loss" to the cross-state rival.
Mertes said only one man suffered an injury in the Jayhawker contest which is likely to keep him from action this week. He said fullback Tony Tiro would likely miss the Columbia, Mo., trip.
Tigers Fight 'Let-Down' Tendency
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) — Missouri fought a natural "letdown" inclination following its Oklahoma setback today and hoped to meet Kansas State Saturday in top physical and mental condition.
Coach Frank Broyles said a slackening of spirit could be deadly. "We can't afford to let down against Kansas State because they could easily win," he said. The youthful Tiger mentor sent his charges through a light drill Monday and said physically, the team emerged from the bruising Sooner setback in good shape.
Cyclones In Good Mood
AMES, Iowa — (UP) — Iowa State's football camp was in its best mood in weeks today as drills continued for South Dakota.
Coach Jim Myers said Monday the 13-0 victory over Nebraska was "our best game of the year." The Cyclones, who opened strong this year only to suffer a mid-year slump, now have a 3-4-1 record.
Myers praised the defensive work of wingback Jack Hanson and also lauded Frank Powell who switched successfully from center to blocking back in the Cornhusker victory. Iowa State planned intense workouts the rest of the week.

Coaches Agree On Illegal KU Play
The record book will state Kansas edged Kansas State 13-7 on Saturday, but coaches of both schools have admitted it might not read that way except for one undetected and illegal play.
Kansas Coach Chuck Mather and counterpart Bus Mertes at Kansas State said Monday a 7-yard touchdown pass from Kansas quarterback Duane Morris to Don Feller should have been called back.
Both said game movies bore out this conviction. Dick Snider, sports columnist for the Topeka Capital, first disclosed the error. Snider contacted game officials who unanimously declined comment.
The third quarter play, unreeled when Kansas was trailing 7-0, was apparently an "important" production and was staged with illegal receivers downfield, coaches agreed.
Mertes, whose team later yielded another touchdown with but 18 seconds remaining, said game films "proved the play was illegal."
Mertes, said he believed "it's something our fans would like to know."

Morris, trapped on an option pitchout-or-keep play, hurriedly lofted the short pass to Feller in two-handed basketball fashion. Observers said the play was designed for Morris to either run himself, or pitch out to halfback Larry Carrier.
in terming the play illegal, but said it "was just one of those things and the officials weren't to blame."
Both coaches said KU linemen were past the line of scrimmage, a maneuver illegal on pass plays unless the linemen are still in contact with opposing linemen.
Mather said Mertes' was correct
