L.S.U.’s Kenny Konz Called ‘Most Underrated’ Performer In Football By Warren Rogers. Jr. Baton Rouge. La., No\. 17 —(AP)— A Texan who never played real football until he went to college currently is tabbed the best all- around player in the Southeastern Conference. He is Kenny Konz of Weimar. Tex., a smiling blond bombshell who runs, IOO yards in 9.9 seconds. At 22 years of age, he packs 185 pounds on a 5 foot IU inch frame. Konz was something of a nine- day wonder when he reported to Louisiana State University in 1947. He never had played football before, not the 11-man kind. At Weimar High School, there just weren’t enough boys to go around. so they compromised on six-member teams. That's all he knew until he got to L. S. U. Konz, now a seasoned senior, is even more of a phenomenon in this day of specialists and platoons. He has played ^quarterback, halfback, fullback, end. srfety aud defensive halfback. He kicks off, punts and placekieks extra points — when he doesn't run them. He played 60 minutes against Vanderbilt, routed 33-7 by L. S. U. The Weimar whiz really hit his stride the night of L. S. U.’s triumphant 13-13 tie with Georgia this year. He revived up his teammates until they all but beat mighty Georgia That night marked the invention of a new L. S. U. play, called “Konz Right.” It s very simple. Konz gets the ball and runs to the right. The play almost beat Georgia and probably would have —except Konz was dogged out from passing, catching passes. running, kicking off and punting. After that one, the Associated Press voted him conference player of the week, the same honor he won in 1949 when his 92-yard punt return helped L. S. U. upset Tulane. It was the year of the “Rags to Riches" L. S. U. which began with nothing and wound up in the Sugar Bowl. Konz has cinched his third letter. playing 330 minutes in L. 3. U.’s first seven games this season. His 1950 record includes: Five touchdowns and ll extra points for a total 41 points, or almost six points per game. A 76-yard punt return to a touchdown and another 76-yardcr that, w as called back. A total of 248 yards rushing in 45 carries for an average of 5.3 yards per try. 44 punts for a 36.5 yard average. What the record fails to show is the tackling, particularly those do-or-die jobs from the safety slot that cut off a certain touchdown. One sports writer calls him “the most under-rated player in football.” -----------ti----------- A bronze plaque has been placed on the campus in memory of William Nelson (Pop' Golden, Penn State's first football coach.
