KU-Cyclones Rated Even
Mather Says State Has Good Personnel
With Kansas slowed by injuries, Coach Chuck Mather sounded words of caution today before the Jayhawkers game with the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
"I am extremely respectful of Iowa State," Mather said, "because I've watched those boys play for two years and I know their personnel is as good as any in the conference, with the exception of Oklahoma."
If you want to pick a favorite, you don't have to look far to find the odds resting on either team. Some predict a win for Kansas, other say Iowa State.
Iowa State thinks KU is one of the few Bigight teams they have a chance of defeating. Coach Wayne Replogle, who scouted the Iowa State-Oklahoma battle, let it be known that the Cyclones are tougher than he's seen them in a long time.
Cyclones Confident
An example of the Cyclones' toughness was shown in fast Saturday's game at Norman, bud Wilkinson's team started their famous fast break offense which has wilted many a top team. They rush into a huddle, call a play and then rush back to the scrummage line to execute it, sometimes betore their opponents have had a chance to set their defense.
Iowa State will be the third single wing team the Jayhawkers have faced in four outings this season. Both teams have identical season's records of 1-1-1. The Cyclones defeated Denver 10-0, held Syracuse's 1357 Cotton Bowl finalists to a 7-7 tie, then fought Oklahoma down to the wire, losing 14-40. Coach Jim Myers team put the brakes on OU's ground game Saturday, limiting them to 164 yards, one of the lowest in the 11-year reign of Wilkinson at Oklahoma.
KU Has 2 Men Out
Mather will be going into tomorrow's game with two of his key players out of action and four others on the doubtful list. Bob Marshall and H. C. Falmer will definitely be out. Doubtfuls are Charlie McCue, Ed Prelock, Dale Remsberg and Don Hermick.
A large Parents' Day crowd is expected to turn out for this, the second conference game for both teams. This will be the first in a series of Big Eight games to be televised. The telecast will be by KMBC-TV and will be beamed out to 13 stations in five midwestern states.
Iowa State held Kansas to it's lowest single-game rushing output of the '56 season, 123 yards, while losing to the Jayhawkers 25-14. One real trouble maker in the middle of the line last year, 204-pound tackle Andris Poncius, will be back to trouble KU again this year.
Long Series For Teams
Long Series For Teams
The first Kansas-Iowa State battle dates back to 1898. That year KU won 11-6. There have been 36 games played in that series with KU winning 19 and losing 12. Five contests have ended in ties. The Jayhawkers biggest win was in 1952 when they defeated the Cyclones, 43-0. Their biggest loss was in 1954 when they were defeated 6-33.
This is Iowa State's first year under Head Coach Jim Myers. Most coaches in the Big Eight feel that Iowa State is tired of taking the back seat and watching the rest of the teams go by while they were firmly entrenched in the cellar spot. They're even more certain of their beliefs after looking at the Cyclones' showing against Oklahoma last Saturday. Those sport-casters who picked Iowa State for the cellar this year now say the Cyclones may end up in the first division.
Quarterback Wally Strauch is expected to be back as starter for the Jayhawks Saturday after recuperating from a head injury received in the Colorado game.
KU Gymnasts To Field Team
The University will officially field a gymnastic team this year. The Gymnastic club has received authorization and money for travel and equipment from the department of physical education.
The gymnastic team will compete with Kansas State, Nebraska, and Colorado, all of which have had official gymnastic teams. Richard Laptad, Lawrence graduate and the team coach, said that plans are also being made to compete with Big 10 schools.
Laptad said the KU Gymnastic club has had no official meets before this year but participated in the Southwest AAU meets several times.
No schedule of meets has been made yet except for a meet with Nebraska Feb. 8. Laptad said the team would be a little slow developing since this is the first year of official meets.
An organizational meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Robinson Gymnasium. Laptad said he hopes to get together a team of 10 or 20 persons.
Films of the 1956 National AAU gvmnastic meet will be shown at the meeting.
Soccer Team In1st Match
The International Club soccer team will play its first game of the year Saturday at Lexington, Mo., against Wentworth Military Academy. The KU-sponsored team came under the auspices of University sports for the first time this year.
Team members include Gontrand Plaza, Arturo DeBryan, and Gonzalo Medina, all of Venezuela; Philip Southwell, England; Haluk Amiro Glu, Turkey; Ronnie Johnston, USA; Gunnar Klavenees, Norway; Luis Uribe, Colombia; Mario Vargas, Costa Rica; Patricio Harrington, Argentina; and Nagy Jeno, Hungary.
MANHATTAN — (UP) — The Kansas State football squad will fly to Stockton, Calif., today for its battle with College of Pacific Saturday night.
Anvone having a car and wishing to attend the game should be in front of the Student Union at 12 p.m.
Thirty-nine players will make the trip. Starting halfback Keith Wilson and reserve halfback Terry Lee remained in Manhattan because of injuries.
K-State Worried About Pass Defense
"With Wilson not making the trip, our pass defense will suffer," said Coach Bus Mertes. "However, I think we can hang in there with them."
Last year Oklahoma completed 40 straight victories, an all-time mark that surpasses the former mark of 39 set in 1908-1912 by Washington.
New York Mourns Blackest
NEW YORK — (UP) — New York City mourned the blackest year in its sports history today while the rest of the nation hailed it as the year in which the National League went West and took the New York Yankees' scalps with it.
"A great thing for baseball," said Commissioner Ford Frick after the Milwaukee Braves' dream came true with yesterday's 5-0 series clincher and National League President Warren Giles echoed the thought with
his comment, "a tremendous thing for the league and baseball as a whole."
But to New York, the Yankees' defeat was the final blow—the third strike—in a year when the Giants elected to go to San Francisco and the Dodgers quit Brooklyn for Los Angeles.
The Braves' World Series victory means that baseball's story definitely has gone west. The two franchise shifts started the trend and the Yankees defeat was the clincher as the eastern monopoly on World Series triumphs finally was broken.
For not since 1948, when the Cleveland Indians defeated the (Boston) Braves, has a world championship of baseball resided in the Mid-West. Since '48, the Yankees had won six world titles and the Dodgers and Giants one each. In all but one of those years (1954 when the Giants routed the Indians in four games), the World Series had been nothing more than an annual spectacle to be seen in New York.
Lew Burdette, of course, emerged as one of the greatest heroes in World Series history. No pitcher since Stan Coveleski in
