Jayhawks Work on Punts
Blaming the Jayhawks' offensive and defensive kicking games for giving up 17 points this season, Coach Jack Mitchell devoted much of his team's preparations yesterday for the Oklahoma game to punt returns and coverage.
"We gave up seven points to Syracuse and ten to Wyoming on our kicking game," Mitchell said. "And punt returns are one of the best things Oklahoma does."

Mitchell said Wally Hinshaw, sophomore quarterback, has "established himself as the No. 1 punter" on the team as of now. Hinshaw took over the punting duties from Mike Johnson last week in an effort to get higher punts for better coverage.
GALE SAYERS and Ron Oelschlager, KU's two running threats who paced the Jayhawks to the 42-6 pasting of Iowa State last week, will be co-captains for the 62nd meeting between KU and Oklahoma here tomorrow. A capacity crowd of 44,900 is expected.
The Jayhawks defeated the perennial powers from OU, 10-0, in 1961 at Norman, but have not downed the Sooners at Lawrence since 1946 when Paul Turner's 34-yard field goal on a wet and muddy field with 1:20 left in the game gave the Kansans a 16-13 victory.
Oklahoma, a pre-season pick to win the Big Eight and place high in the national standings, opened the campaign with a 13-3 win over Maryland. Since then, however, the Sooners were humiliated by Southern California, 40-14, and last week fell to Texas, 28-7.
As a sophomore here two years ago, the big fullback played a similar role. He carried five times in a six-play series to the KU three, and then Quarterback Deere Deree went over for the 13-7 OU victory.
This will be Oklahoma's first conference game, and the Sooners will be out to open on a note similar to KU's opening victory over Iowa State.
THE SOONERS' attack will feature an unbalanced line to either side, with a slotback also choosing his side. Fullbacks Jim Grisham and Jon Kennedy will be the main challengers of the KU defense, and quarterbacks John Hammond and
However, the chief problem facing the Jayhawks may be Coach Gomer Jones' huge defensive line which averages 225 lbs. from end to end.
As a junior last year, the 207 lb. Grisham was runner-up to Sayers in the conference rushing race on 861 net yards. He earned 711 as a sophomore. He is now within range of Leon Heath's all-time Sooner full-back record of 2,026 yards.
Mike Ringer are both effective on rollouts.
Although Grisham has been hampered this season by a lame back, he will still bear watching by the Jayhawk defenders. It was his 15-yard burst to the KU five-yard line in the fourth quarter last year that set up the winning touchdown in OU's 21-18 victory. Grisham gained 74 yards for the day.
KU Runners Meet Drake
The KU cross country team, undefeated in 22 consecutive meets, goes against Drake at Des Moines this Saturday. Drake has lost both of its meets this year, as Minnesota pulled a clean sweep, 15-44, and Iowa State just edged the Drake men, 27-28.
Assistant coach Bob Timmons predicts a highly competitive meet because the Drake coach, Bob Karnes, is a KU graduate and ran under Bill Easton's direction. Timmons is guiding the Jayhawks while head coach Bill Easton is at the Olympics in Tokyo.
Bill Silverburg, John Lawson, Tom Yergovich, Herald Hadley, Ken Holm and Lowell Paul will run for the Jayhawks. Jack Kragie of Drake came in third against KU in 1962, and should prove a tough opponent this year. Joe Piepe, Don Prichard and Joe Henderson are also returnees from last year's Drake squad.
