Kansans who think the Jayhawkers' chances for a winning football season were shattered with Saturday's 21-6 loss to Iowa State, might find that a closer look at the situation reveals that KU could still pull through.
Granted, it's going to be a much rougher road ahead now that the Iowa State game is marked in the loss column. But before we give up completely, let's take a look at the possibilities that Kansas has to earn a record which the critics would term successful.
Going back to the season's opener, KU gained a 13-13 tie against TCU which most experts thought would never happen. The second game for the Jayhawkers against Oregon State was almost unanimously conceded to the Beavers before the game was played, although most people did not think it would be by the lopsided score of 34-6.
Few people would have ventured out on the limb to pick Kansas to defeat Colorado in the conference opener for both teams, but KU came through and gained its first victory of the season.
Iowa State Improved
Then came the crucial Iowa State game. Kansas came up on the short end of the score. But let's face it. Iowa State is a much improved team over the past few years. The Cyclones are going to be tough against all the other conference teams too, and our guess is that they will win their share.
It was unfortunate to have played them at a time when KU was plagued with injuries. But, instead of excuses, let's accept the defeat and look to a possibly brighter future.
Kansas now has a 1-2-1 record. It is generally agreed that this Saturday's game against Oklahoma will add another loss to KU's record. It is also generally agreed that everyone else in the conference will also bow to the powerful Sooners.
After that the Jayhawkers go against a non-conference opponent, Miami. The Floridians will probably be rated a heavy favorite to defeat Kansas, even though they are not

homa Coach Bud Wilkinson did some
calculating Tuesday and decided his
national champion Sooners need
work on pass defense.
Four Sophs In Line-up As Injuries Slow KU
The Sooners have yielded three enemy touchdowns, all on passes. Furthermore, the team's next opponent, Kansas, is leading the Big Eight in both forward pass offense and defense. Thus, Wilkinson bore down on aerial defensive work Tuesday and planned more the remainder of the week.
Four sophomores were listed on KU's first eleven Tuesday a injuries continued to hinder the Jayhawker's preparations to face the mighty Oklahoma Sooners Saturday in Norman.
MANHATTAN — (UP) — Kansas State concentrated on defense today as Saturday's clash with a Colorado team paced by the Nation's leading rusher approached.

Tigers Face Single Wing
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UP) — Missouri, faced with its first single-wing adversary of the year in Iowa State this weekend, learned yesterday that fullback Hank Kuhmann will be available for duty.
The Tigers concentrated on singlewing defenses on a wet practice field Tuesday and team spokesmen said Kuhlmann, the team's leading rusher, would likely rejoin the squad on Thursday after a brief bout with a leg ailment.
ranked in the first 20 teams in the nation after their early season loss to Houston.
After that the chips are down Colorado, the team most experts picked to finish second behind Oklahoma, has already lost one game and still must face the mighty Sooners.
Final Four Crucial
University Daily Kansan
The Jayhawkers, following their next two games, face Nebraska. Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Missouri in that order.
To make a successful season Kansas must finish strong against all four of these last opponents. Hobbled by injuries and flu now, if everything goes right, the Jayhawkers could be at full power for this stretch drive. None of these teams is out of their class.
It can be done. Hard work and determination will spell the difference between these teams. The Jayhawkers proved they have these assets in the Colorado game and by then might be ready to finish the season in a blaze of glory.
Center Chet Vanatta and end John Peppercock have been playing regularly for Kansas in their first four games, but guard DeWitt Lewis and end Dale Remsberg are new sophomores to the KU line-up. Lewis replaced Bob Kraus, who is still suffering from a bruised hip, and Remsberg took over for Jim Letcvits, who is ill with pneumonia.
Both Kraus and Leteavits are listed as doubtful for the Oklahoma game. Tom Russell, guard who has a severely sprained ankle, joined quarterback Bob Marshall and end H. C. Palmer as definitely out of Saturday's game.
Coach Chuck Mather stressed defense patterns against the powerful Sooner offense Tuesday. He plans to work on the KU offense today.
To Decide On Greenberg
Cleveland, O. — (UP) — General manager Hank Greenberg, whose status with the Cleveland Indians is considered precarious, will learn within a few days whether he will keep or lose his job.
Greenberg's future with the Indians will be decided at a board of directors meeting that probably will be held later this week.
