Gophers 'rebuilding'
Minnesota next for KU
In Arizona Stadium's radio booth this past weekend, a KU radio commentator asked a Minnesota scout about KU's four touchdown, 28-7 halftime lead. How did Kansas look?
ALL OF A SUDDEN, the scout seemed at a loss for words. Asked what was bothering him, the scout replied, "I am confused in keeping up with you fellows."
A. They seem to have come to life in this second game of the year (KU lost its opener to Texas Tech 23-7). Prior to tonight's game, I thought KU would suffer offensively without the injured Skahan.
Q. What can KU anticipate from Minnesota?
A. Minnesota is rebuilding this year. We are counting on several sophomores...
True, the scout might have been uncertain at the time; however, Minnesota and KU, opponents this Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Minneapolis starting at 12:30 p.m., each will be seeking its second win in three starts.
After losing its first game to Missouri 24-0, Minnesota came back and defeated Stanford 35-21. Operating from the wing-T with wide split ends and backs, commonly referred to as the "multiple T," Gopher quarterback Curt Wilson completed three of six passes for 28 yards, and scored three touchdowns.
DEFENSIVELY, Minnesota will use a six-man line, with two linebackers and three deep men in the secondary. In the six-man line, the right guard becomes the middle guard. Inside linebackers include the center and left guard. The fullback is the corner linebacker.
Accordingly, KU Coach Jack Mitchell, in yesterday's practice drilled his first team defense against the second team which ran Minnesota's offensive patterns.

"Likewise, the first offensive team ran against the Minnesota defense." Mitchell added.
Furthermore, Mitchell said Bob Skahan will not be ready for the Minnesota game. Harold Montgomery, who pulled a hamstring muscle against Texas Tech, will see action Saturday. Dick Bacon returns to fullback from offensive tackle, and Bill Wohlford will start at center in place of Bob Kreutzer, who is limping because of a leg injury.
Minnesota is coached by Murray Warmath, now in his 13th season. His best season came in 1960 (Minnesota finished last in the Big Ten in 1959) when the Gophers won the National Championship and later accepted an invitation to play in the 1961 Rose Bowl Game.
WARMATH IS A PERFECTIONist, they say, who believes in hard-working, organized practice sessions. No minutes are wasted. During the football season, it is reported Warmath reports to work by 6 a.m., sometimes even earlier.
