Page 5 By GEORGE ANTHAN (Daily Kansan Sports Editor) Monday, Oct. 28, 1957 University Daily Kansarn Kansas now has or should have most of its losing over with. So far KU and Nebraska have the poorest records in the Big Eight and after Saturday (barring a tie) only one of those teams will be in that position. The 48-6 loss at Miami was disappointing since Kansas was, before the game, rated only a 14-point underdog. The big question now is what the Kansas showing against Missouri, Kansas State and Nebraska is going to be. The KU football team is a better team on paper and on the field than any of the above. The question before game time on any of the weekends to follow will be—is the team "up" for the game and if not, why? All this, at a time when we still have the most important games of the season to play may seem a bit unfortunate. It may be that the Board of Regents is wondering too and preparing the ground-work for some changes in the football department. A new Kansas coach would reportedly be offered $15,000 per a sum which would put him up with the rest of the Big Eight coaches instead of at the tail-end. Arkansas' Jack Mitchell seems interested. He sees opportunities at Kansas not available at Arkansas and the Board of Regents may be interested in him. It may, however, be necessary, because the football team has lacked the driving desire to play and win for a coach who may not be a Rockne or Leahy, making a team hysterically win-crazy, but who is one of the most sincere and dedicated men a football player could hope to play under. What's in the victory column is what counts now, though, so the pressure is on, the word is out—the search has again started for the man with the magic touch. In the face of this the Kansas football team must do the job on these four succeeding Saturdays. It must win. The 1957 KU team, we think, is probably the best since 1950 and we believe the four coming Saturdays will bear us out. Jayhawkers Win First Meet On New Track Course Jerry McNeal, captain of the KU team, overtook teammate Tom Skutka in the last 50 yards to post a 15.18 victory. Skutka followed with 15.20, while Paul Dickerson, the Cowpokes' star, finished in that with 15.35. Wearing stocking caps and gloves, the Kansas and Oklahoma State cross country teams hustled around the 3-mile course Friday in 35 degree weather, with the Jayhawkers coming out the winner 18-45 to pose their third straight win of the season McNeal set a new record since it was the first time a cross country team had ever run the course. The record for the old course is 15:02.5 held by Wes Santee. After Dickerson it was all Kansas as Berry Crawford, Cliff Cushman, Bob Harrison, Travis Brian and Don Greenlee finished in that order. Coach Bill Easton said after the meet. "I'm rather proud of the team effort over the new course for it is a much more difficult course than the old one. "Crawford did a fine job coming in fourth since he had the flu last week. The after effects hang on for 10 or 15 days so he wasn't quite ready." Easton said. Asked about the near freezing temperature and its effect, he said, "The sudden changes in weather are bad, but actually the cold is real good. In the heat you get blisters because you perspire more. Weather Forces IM Postponement Cold, damp weather forced postponement of all scheduled intramural football games Friday. The weather permitted playing of games only on Monday and Thursday last week. All postponed games will be made up later. Independent A—Battenfeld vs. Jolliffe, Field 1: Hicks vs. Oread, Field 2: Pearson vs. McCook. Field 8. Games today: Fraternity A—Alpha Tau Omega vs. Phi Kappa Pi. Field 4. Fraternity B—Sigma Nu vs. Phi Delta Theta No. 1 Field 2; Delta Tau Delta vs. Triangle, Field 5. Cold weather is made for cross country running." Kansas will go after its 30th straight victory when it meets Oklahoma at Norman Saturday morning. The Big Eight cross country meet will be held at Iowa State the following Saturday. Hayman Takes Bowling Honors Wayne Hayman, Kansas City, Kan. senior, bowled a 587 series for the high series score in intramural bowling during the fifth week of competition. In women's leagues Barbara Panzer had a high game score of 193 and Charla Staples turned in the high series of the week, with a 462. Tying for top single game honors with 220 games were Lee Scott and Doug Henning. AIRLINE TICKETS Only Light Resistance Seen For Shaken Oklahoma Sooners Flying home Christmas?

Oklahoma seeks its 46th victory in succession and anyway you look at it, the deed is as good as gift-wrapped. on the basis of comparative scores, for example, Colorado—the team Oklahoma squeezed by 14-13 Saturday—mauled K-State 42-14 two weeks ago. Iowa State was a 40-14 victim of the Sooners and fell before K-State in a mild superset Saturday 14-10. TOM MAUPIN Travel Service Tigers' Most Important Test 1236 Mass. VI 3-1211 Elsewhere in the Big Eight, this week. Missouri faces its most important conference test of the year in a clash with potent Colorado. Frank Broyles' sensational rookie-year club proved its mettle against Nebraska last Saturday by coming from behind in the final two minutes in a 14-13 victory, its fourth in six starts. Office Hours 9:00 to 5:00 Mon.-Fri. Closed Sat., Sun., Holidays Broyles' eleven can virtually nail down the league runnerup slot by handling Colorado. The Buffs, coached by Dal Ward, are only 1-2 in the league, but figure to handle remaining foes with ease after a slow start and 35-34 loss to Kansas. Missouri's Big Eight record is 2-0, but the Tigers have yet to challenge Oklahoma. Kansas and Nebraska pit the league's poorest over-all records at Lincoln, Neb., this weekend with Bill Jenning's Cornhuskers perhaps a light choice after their stout showing against Missouri. Cyclones To Drake Iowa State meets unbeaten Drake in a non-league battle on foreign terrain. The Cyclones have dropped two straight conference games after a fine start under freshman mentor, Jim Myers. Drake moved past Bradley 21-13 last weekend in a battle of unbeaten independents.
