Kansas Prepares For 1st Home Game
With a 13-13 tie in their season's opener, the Jayhawkers began preparations Monday for their first home game against the Oregon State Beavers Saturday.
Scout reports indicate KU will have its hands full against the Beavers. Chuck Mather said that Oregon State was of the caliber of the Oklahoma Sooners. The Rose Bowl finalists of last year proved this in their season's opener Saturday when they deflected Southern California, 20-0.
Team Deserves Credit
"Our team deserves every bit of credit they received for their season's opener," he said, "but we will have to do even better this week."
Kansas came out of the TCU game with only one injury, but it could be a costly one. Frank Gibson, all-conference tackle, injured a shoulder. The 215-pound Jayhawker line stalwart is expected to be out for at least two weeks.
Gibson's injury forced a shift of Ron Claiborne from right to left tackle, while Ed Prelock moved into the right tackle spot. Mather changed DeWitt Lewis, who has been running at the No. 2 fullback position most of the season, to right guard on the No. 2 unit. This moved Dave Harris into the No. 2 fullback spot.
No. 2 Center Spot Uncertain
The rest of the line-up remained the same. Mather said he was uncertain about the No. 2 center spot, but planned to give both John Wertzberger and Bill Burnison a shot at the position this week.
The Jayhawkers had dummy scrimage against the Oregon State offensive and defensive patterns Monday. Unit scrimmages today and Wednesday will continue to stress work against the single wing patterns of the Beavers.
IM Bowling Into Full Swing
Fall bowling intramurals started Monday with league play slated for the remainder of the week. More than 275 men and women are on teams in action at the Jay Bowl in the Student Union.
Alba Kappa Lambda, defending men's champions, will again go after the title, but in all likelihood, there will be a new women's division champion, at least in name. The winners last year were the G.S.P. Frosh.
Of the 60 men's teams, more than four-fifths of them are from organized houses. Ten of the 12 women's teams are from organized houses.
Wade Lambell and Sue Ann Moore are co-chairmen of the University Bowling Assn, which sponsors the intramural bowling program.
Two of the top bowlers on the hill last spring are back again this year. Wavne Hayman, who bowls for the KC's, had the high average of 177 per 10 frames and Keith Harper, who holds the league high for 10 frames at 255, is also back.
In addition to the AKL's and KC's, two other top men's teams in action this fall will be the FDA's and Alpha Tau Omega's. The ATO's had the highest team average last year and consequently the lowest handicap.
Women's division playoffs for the hill championships will be held December 14. The men's division playoffs will not be until January 11-12.
Although the leagues have started play, new teams are invited to apply to get into leagues. Past records show that a number of teams drop out early in the season and replacements are hard to find.
Jennings Disappointed
LINCOLN, Neb. —(UP)—Nebraska Coach Bill Jennings made a frank evaluation of his Cornhuskus Monday after viewing movies of the Washington State opener, which the west coast team won. 34-12.
"We just didn't look good at all," he admitted and as an afterthought added, "we played very poorly in fact."
Basilio Ready For Rematch
NEW YORK — (UP) — Carmen Basilio, who won the world middleweight championship from Sugar Ray Robinson in 15 violent rounds Monday night, will meet ex-champ Ray in a return title fight within six months, it seemed nearly certain today.
Basilio, the ex-onion farmer of Chittenango, N. Y., who pounded out a split decision over the ancient but amazing Robinson, said, "T'll be ready to honor my return-bout contract within six months."
And Robinson's most trusted adviser, George Gainford, declared today "yes I'd like to see Ray fight Basillo for the title again, if we can get assurances from the Boxing Commission that the New York State laws against the use of collodoin-idoform ointment will be carried out."
Gainford, principal handler in Robinson's corner during the electrifying battle before 38,000 in Yankee Stadium, complained to referee Al Berl five times against use of the ointment on Basilio's bleeding left brow, because it was getting into Robinson's eyes and paining him.
Basilio, weighing 153-1/2 pounds to Robinson's 160, forced the fighting in every round against his heavier and rangier opponent. Before the struggle was finished, Carmen was bleeding from two gashes over his left eye and from the nose and there was a large mouse under his right eve; but he was still forcing the fight and he won the last round on the cards of all three ring officials.
Meanwhile, Sugar Ray-fighting defensively and trying to catch his opponent with uppercuts and left hooks as he came in made such a gallant stand that referee Al Berl voted him the fight on a round basis. 9-6.
But judges Artie Aidala and Bill Recht favored Basilio respectively, 9-5-1 and 8-6-1. The United Press agreed, 9-6. A poll of 47 sports writers at the ringside showed 26 for Basilio, 17 for Robinson and four "even."
Ortiz Defeats Bell Stays Unbeaten
NEW YORK—(UP)—Carlos Ortiz, Puerto Rican lightweight, remained unbeaten today as a result of his widely-televised 10-round decision over Harry Bell last night at the St. Nicholas Arena.
Ortiz, weighing $137\frac{1}{4}$ pounds, earned the unanimous verdict over 135-pound Bell of New York in the bout that was televised to homes while the Carmen Basilio-Ray Robinson title fight was telecast only to theaters.

The first one is over and hopes of a new era of football gleam brightly in the eyes of Kansas fans. A fighting band of Jayhawkers staged an uphill battle to gain a 13-13 tie over a TCU team which had beaten them 32-0 in 1956.
15 Years Experience 1101 Vermont
After three mediocre seasons under Chuck Mather, during which time KU lost several close games in the closing minutes, the Jayhawkers finally proved they might be on the winning side in the clutch games this year.
By Malcolm Applegate
Daily Kansas Sports Editor
On the last play of the TCU game, KU gained a tie against the Horned Frogs on a Bob Marshall to Jim Letcavits pass. Not only did Kansas gain the tie on the last play, but they fought back in the second half after trailing 13-0 at halftime.
It would have been easy for Kansas to roll over and play dead after their miserable first half. A bad pass from center seconds after the opening kickoff set up the Frogs, first touchdown on the Kansas 2-yard line. When the half was over, in addition to trailing 13-0, KU had been outgained from scrimmage by an unbelievable 207 yards to 4 yards.
Could Have Plaved Dead
Even in the second half, the Jayhawkers had an opportunity to fold. Bob Marshall returned a punt 69 yards for an apparent touchdown only to have it called back by a clipping penalty. But they didn't. They took the ball at the point of infraction, the KU 39-yard line, and marched the distance for a score.
Then, when it looked like a certain TCU victory with Kansas on the Frogs 24-yard line and only three seconds to play, quarterback Marshall fired the tying aerial.
More could be said on this fine comeback, but it's better to remember that by-gones are by-gones. One good game doesn't make a season. It's not time for the Jayhawkers to sit back and rest on their laurels.
Look To The Future
This Saturday is another day and finds another team ready to challenge the improved Kansas team. Oregon State, last year's

Beaver officials feel the Staters are 30 percent improved over last year. They seemingly proved this pre-season statement in their opener by defeating Southern California, rated second only to the Beavers on the Coast, 20-0.
Compares Beavers To Sooners
Chuck Mather called this Oregon State team "comparable to Oklahoma."
Even though this team might seem out of reach for Kansas, one thing seems sure. KU has come up with a team Kansans can be proud of. The Jayhawks will do their best to make the Western team realize that Kansas football is on the rise.

Snowden To 1st Team
COLUMBIA Mo. — (UP)— Missouri concentrated on pass defense today as drills continued for Saturday's contest with an aerial-minded Arizona eleven.
Coach Frank Broyles, meanwhile, said sophomore Phil Snowden had been boosted to the starting eleven on the basis of his showing in the 7-7 tie with Vanderbilt last weekend.
