Jayhawks fight Cyclones
Bob Skahan will start
By WILL HARDESTY
"We'll go with Skahan, said Jack Mitchell in answering the question.
"If his foot continues to hold up, he'll start, backed by Shanklin, Jackson, and Bacon."
SKAHAN—A HIGHLY touted senior signal caller—returns to his starting position after a forced vacation due to a broken toe received in the Texas Tech game.
The Jayhawks left Topea at 1 p.m. for Des Moines. Tonight, they will have a light workout at the Drake field.
Mitchell feels the Cyclone game will be the toughest yet for the Hawks.
"IT'S ONE OF those games you feel you just can't get ready for. There's so much to do—offense, defense. . . ."
In Thursday's workout, KU went through drills on a "two minute" offense, some work on short-yardage plays and some work using different backfield combinations.
Another sophomore, Junior Riggins, may see a lot of action this week. Riggins, a six-foot, 200-pound halfback, will "probably play as much as anyone else" according to Mitchell.

KU can expect its toughest game so far this season when it meets ISU this Saturday at Ames, according to Kansas coach Jack Mitchell.
"Iowa State has the best football team in the country to have lost three games." Mitchell said.
TIM VAN GALDER, Iowa State quarterback, is expected to concentrate on the passing game. His favorite target, Eppie Barney, led the Big Eight in receptions last season.
"The cyclones may have the best team in their school history despite that 0-3 record, and they are eager to show it." Mitchell said.
Iowa State has played tougher opponents than KU, he said.
"ISU stunts a lot on defense, but they use sound fundamental stunts
and don't make any mistakes. They are a veteran team," coach Mitchell said.
THE CYCLONES gave Nebraska a scare last week, barely losing 12-6.
During a television show in Des Moines Sunday evening, former Iowa coach Forrest Evashevski, former Iowa quarterback Randy Duncan and a Des Moines sports announcer all predicted KU will lose to Iowa State this Saturday.
Iowa State's most recent wins over Kansas have been 17 to 14 in 1963. and 21 to 7 last year.
"I feel certain, however, that our young men are ready to put forth the same type of effort that almost brought an upset against Nebraska," coach Clay Stapleton said. "We must make a top effort to compete against as fine a team as Kansas."

Wildcats back to full strength
PROBABLY THE OUTstanding performer from any of the other schools entered is Oscar Moore, and Olympian from Southern Illinois. The Salukis entered a partial team last year but should be at full strength for the 1966 Invitational.
MANHATTAN—(UPI) — Coach Doug Weaver said Thursday following a workout that his Kansas State Wildcats will be full strength when they go against the Missouri Tigers Saturday.
Two players reported on the injured list earlier this week, Mike Goyne, junior guard, and Al Walczak, right tailback, will be ready, the coach said.
The Wildcat coach said he was expecting the Tigers to be tough, even though they have suffered a number of injuries.
The Jayhawks finished third at the Oklahoma State Jamboree last week with 60 points. Ryun finished seventh in 20:26; Yergovich was ninth in 20:32; Hayes was eleventh with a time of 20:37; and Grindal and Kearns finished sixteenth and seventeenth respectively with Grindal running 21:06 and Kearns finishing in 21:10.
Cross Country coach Bob Timmons said, "I was encouraged by the results and I think that by the end of the season we will be improved. Nobody likes to lose but the season doesn't look bleak at all."
