Charles Mather leaves for Fort Worth Friday with the football team that is undoubtedly his best as a college coach.
Jayhawkers Will Practice Against TCU Grid Patterns
In the photo above two Kansas players loosen up during Monday's practice.
Monday the Jayhawkers went 4th through a series of light drills based mainly on the TCU scouting report. The squad finished the session by practicing punting from behind the goal line.
His team faces a Texas Christian squad that last season was numbered among the nation's top.
Today the team will work mainly on defenses designed to work against TCU's various T formations. Wednesday the squad will concentrate on offense with Thursday's session being devoted to both offensive and defensive drills.
Mather indicated that John Pepercorn will replace H. C. Palmer at the No. 1 left end position.
The team will leave Lawrence at 9:15 a.m. Friday and board a plane in Kansas City at 11 a.m. They will arrive in Fort Worth at 1 p.m.
Wertzberger and Bill Burnison, had rejoined the squad after injury sieges.
At the quarterback slot Mather will probably go with Bob Marshall. Marshall, one of the team's leading tacklers last season, is faster than Wally Strauch, therefore of more value in defense—something which the Jayhawkers lacked last year.
Kansas football followers were gladdened by the news that "one-two" Jayhawk center, John
Mather, however, said it was still not definitely known if either would be ready for the season opener against TCU at Fort Worth on Saturday.

COLUMBIA, Mo.—(UP)—There were glints of blue in a murky Missouri backfield picture today as veterans Stub Clemensen and Charlie James reported back to the practice field.
Cornhuskers Lose No.1 QB
Big Eight Grid Roundup
James, counted on for heavy running duty this fall, took it extremely easy yesterday as he rejoined the squad after a long hospitalization with a lame leg.
said the switch was designed to better utilize the 5-8,160 pound senior's running ability. Wilson will probably be held as a front-line reserve.
LINCOLN, Nebr. — (UP) — The Nebraska Cornhuskers concentrated on pass defense today while reeling under the loss of senior quarterback George Harshman, declared scholastically inelegible.
AMES, Iowa—(UP) Jim Mvers planned to strive for a sharper running attack today as his Iowa State Cyclones neared their 1957 curtain-raiser with Denver.
For the second straight season, Kansas is the only football team in the land to meet three major bowl clubs. The Jayhawkers tackle the trio in order, opening against TCU's Cotton Bowl champions, Sept. 21 at Fort Worth; meeting Oregon State's Rose Bowl finalists Sept. 28, and starting their conference season against Colorado's Orange Bowl champions, Oct. 5 at Boulder.
Myers, who will be making his own debut as Cyclone head man, said Monday the club would have to improve, "or Denver will win by 40 points."
Coach Bill Jennings said Harshman's loss would severely hamper the Cornhusker's kicking game. Sophomore Harold Tolly, North Platte, is expected to get the starting quarterback call, but Jennings said four other candidates were available.
MU Picture Brightens

Jennings said the Huskers would bear down on pass defense because Washington State, Nebraska's opening opponent, relied heavily on an air attack in 1956.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — (UP) — Kansas State scheduled drills against Wyoming offensive patterns again today but Coach Bus Mertes said contact would be held to a minimum.
NORMAN, Okla. —(UP)— Bud Wilkinson, predicted his Oklahoma sooners will see their 40-game winning skine snapped by sundown Saturday, continued today to work the squad twice daily.
Bud Moans The Blues
The graving Sooner coach, who told a banquet gathering yesterday that his team believed it was "great, but I don't," said the two-a-day sessions would continue until the club's departure for Pittsburgh Thursday. Most other Big Eight schools have reduced workouts to one daily.
During yesterday's workout Mertes moved diminutive speedster Keith Wilson from quarterback to left halback. The K-State mentor
KU Track Future Looks Very Bright
Wilkinson said only one team member was not in good physical condition. Sophomore guard Jerry Thompson has a bad ankle.
Little Contact at K-State
