Iowa State . .
Iowa Slate football fans will get
their money's worth at Ames, this
weekend. The Cyclone teams will
play two games on Friday and
Saturday.
Friday's fame will pit the
Junior varsity against Buena
Vista. That came will be played
on Clyde Williams field. Last
year the two teams met in a
nlfht fame at Storm Lake with
the junior Cyclones winning,
13-12.
Coach Bob Otto's 1952 squad,
deeper in reserves and experience,
is figured to be the best at Ducna
Vista in several years, rfob Lam
son, coach of the Iowa State jun
ior varsity, expects an even
tougher game than the 1-pointer
of last year.
On Saturday the varsity will
open its season against JSouth
Dakota State. The Jackrabbita
use Don Faurot's T formation
offense, and well, too. Lamson,
who scouted the Jackrabbits at
Brookings last Saturday, said
he thought that Ralph Glnn's
squad used the offense as well
as any team he had ever seen.
King pin of the Jackrnbbit at
tack is Co-captain Palmer (Pcta)
Retilaff, dynamic 195-pound full
back. Ray Doncls, chief Cyclone
' scout, indicated that Ketzlaff
would be as good a fullback as
any team would want.
Iowa State will be minus
several of its key players for
the game with the Jackrabbits.
Bill Byrus, No. 1 right tackle;
Jack Lessin, No. 1 right guard;
Ron Swanson, No. 2 right guard,
and Clyde Titus, No. S at the
spot, will all miss the game.
Swanson is out for the season
with a broken bone in his foot
while Titus will miss several con
tests because of a chipped bone
In his foot.
Lessin and Byrus, with leg and
arm injuries, will miss the game
Saturday but hope to be ready to
go against Illinois, Sept. 27.
Missouri . . .
With Maryland due this week
end, it may be a little premature
to suggest that Missouri's overall
end play should be lots sharper
this year.
Seldom will opposing ends
look good against Maryland's
fine personnel over the '52
schedule. Generally, they'll be
harassed silly by Jack Scarbath,
cagy Terp quarterback, on his
keep-or-pitchout o p t i o n or
they'll come away second-best
in any blocking argument with
Terrapin tackles Dick "Little
Mo" Modbelowski and Bob
"Blubber" Morgan.. '
That's why Mizzou's ends
whether on offense or defense
will feel the pressure this Satur
day when the Tigers and Terps
hook up in their third gridiron
meeting at Columbia
the 1951 defenders, who inter
cepted J4 enemy passes.
nut despite the upcoming test,
Missouri coaches are hopeful
even confident that the Tiger
wings will be better manned this
year. For one thing, the terminals
nave been well checked out by
COnch John "Hi" Simmons, who
has been able to give them more
individual attention since moving
up to the varsity coaching statf
this Reason.
Then, too, there have been
these encouraging d e v el o p
ments: ( 1 ) the rapid progress
made by Jim Jennings, swift
6-ft. 3 sophomore; (2) the come
back of Maurice Udell, senior
lcttermcn, who almost slipped
into the all-washed-up file last
year and; (3) the addition of
Bill Rowekamp, ex-Army end,
and . Don Hanners, former
squadman recently discharged
from service.
The probable combinations
against Maryland will have Jen
nings and Udell as offensive ends,
with Lane Goodwin and Mark
Stein getting first call on defense.
bet to open as the Bengals' No. 1
fullback, Rowekamp may take his
turn on defense, replacing Stein,
or he may alternate with Good
win.
Behind Jennings, Kansas
City's John Wlllson gives Mis
souri a stout 1-2 entry. Not so
robust a blocker as the 190
pound Jennings, Wlllson fields a
pass well. He led M. U. ends in
receptions last year, nabbing 18
tosses for 239 yards.
Three other sophomores belong

Jack Hurley, Pete Ekern, and
John Piskulich, who lettered on
defense in '51.

Six Big Seven Teams

King football takes the spot'
light this week, as many teams
begin the 1952 season. Six Big
Seven teams see action, and many
other top football powers begin.
The Big Seven season gets off
to a fast start with the Kansas
Uulversity Jayhawks meeting
the Horned Frogs from TCU.

touted by sports experts as the
team to beat in the Big Seven,

Faurot has pulled bigger upsets
before.
Kansas State opens against a
Bradley eleven that suffered
heavily from graduation. The big
question in this game might well
be the success of K State's newly
adopted split T formation. Coach

Nebraska's "B" team football
schedule has been reduced from
four to three games as a result cf
the closing of Nebraska Central
College at Central City. The "B"
squad was scheduled to play Ne
braska Central the night of
Oct. 30.
Twelve new men answered
Coaches Bob Faris and" Al Partin's
request for gridiron reserve power
last Tuesday. The prospective
footballers took "their physicals
and checked out their gear at the
field house. The twelve new boys
will undergo the same rugged
training schedule as the boys who
reported for early practice. Those
boys that turned out are Kemnng,
Adams, Haden, Larkin, Stocker,
Thomsen, Aresdorf, Moore, Vi
lums, Duffek, Christenson and
Thorell. (
Coach Faris said that he still
expects a few more boys to turn
out.
Three members of Missouri's
current football squad played for
the Tigers' baseball team which
was runnerup for the natiwilal
championship at Omaha last June.
The players are: Halfbacks Bob
Schoonmaker (first base) and Vic
Swenholt (outfield); and tackle
Herb Gellman (catcher).

be the first game in the topsy

Texas has a top-flight team com

next three games they meet such
football formidables as Nortli
Carolina, Notre Dame, and Okla

Oklahoma A&M meets Ar

year the Razorbacks defeated
the highly favored Aggies in a
run-away 42-7 contest. A AM

but is picked highly in Its own
Missouri Valley Conference.
Perenially strong Georgia .Tech
meets The Citadel in what could
easily prove to be a run-away
contest. Yellow Jacket coach
Bobby Dodd has a team picked to
be high in the national standings
this year, and will be shooting for
an undefeated season.

Turning from the controversial but interesting question of
athletio de-emphasis, especially in the field of football, let s take a
quick look at baseball. For the second straight year the Cleveland
Indians have produced three twenty game winners, while the rest
of the American League clubs were happy with only two at the
very most. But what happens? For the second straight year the
Indians have finished in second place, two or three games behind
the leading New York Yankees. In 1951, the Indians had a fourth
pitcher who hurled 17 wins, which still wasn't enough to win the
pennant. ,

years in a row. Lopes should have brought the rest of, the team
