Offense wins football scrimmage
The total point score did not indicate the domination of the defense over the offense in the KU varsity football intra-squad scrimmage Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
The entire squad participated in the scrimmage after coach Pepper Rodgers met with the Negro players who had boycotted last Thursday's final practice and agreed to let them play.
The game marked the end of spring drills for the Jayhawks, now in their second year under Rodgers.
Play was divided into three 20-minute periods with a scoring setup that gave points to the offense for making first downs or touchdowns, and to the defense for stopping first downs, grabbing fumbles or intercepting passes.
The defense won the first two periods by scores of 25-17 and 16-14. The offense dominated the third period 21-8. That adds up to a 2-1 victory for the defense or a 52-49 triumph for the offense. The offense was credited with the victory.
Rodgers said he was pleased with the scrimmage.
"The offense beat themselves by making mistakes — fumbles and interceptions. If you eliminate mistakes, you have a chance to win," he said.
Rodgers singled out the play of George McGowan, split end, Bobby Douglas, quarterback, Emery
Hicks, middle guard, John Zook, defensive end, and Bill Hunt, cornerback, as having had an exceptionally fine spring practice.
The defensive secondary is the
most improved area on the team, and depth remains a major problem, but KU is a better football team than at this time last year, Rodgers said.

Baseballers drop 2 of 3
The KU baseball team dropped two ends of a three-game series this weekend to the Missouri Tigers, who allowed the Jayhawks only four runs in the three games played.
Missouri won the opener 13-1 Friday afternoon behind the one-hit pitching of Rich Henninger.
KU came back to take the nightcap 2-1 as Randy Stroup pitched a four-hitter and scored the winning run from third on a balk by Tiger pitcher Jerry Hunt.
Saturday afternoon, Missouri's Kelly Whittaker proved too tough for KU, allowing only five hits as Missouri won 2-1.
KU scored its only run in the eighth when John Nelson reached second on a two-base throwing error and scored on a single by Randy Cordill.
The series left KU's over-all record at 7-19 and their Big Eight record at 4-11. Missouri is 11-13 over-all and 9-8 in the conference.
