Wildcats get hot early; turn back KU gymnasts
KU's gymnasts, not having seen competition for two full months, were a little over-anxious Monday night as they fell to Kansas State, 157.33 to 151.83 at Manhattan.
It could have been the long layoff, the stage equipment, or their being overly-psyched—as Coach Bob Lockwood noted.
Shanklin inks with Eagles
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Don Shanklin, speedy halfback from the University of Kansas, has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, it was announced today by general manager-head coach Joe Kuharich.

Shanklin, married and the father of two children, will be used as a flanker and kick return specialist, Khurarich said. He was the Eagles 10th draft choice
Shanklin will report to the Eagles' training camp in July.
But it wasn't until the Jayhawks went through their first 10 routines that they scored well.
