Center Ray Smith of Tech snared a Pettit pass out of the air to put his side in position for its third score. On the Kansas 36, Bowen ran for 6, then 7, the inevitable Still hit Brodnax for 12 yards, three more stabs at the line and Patton made straight way for the end zone and, sure enough. Still pegged it his way. It was over his head and he had to take it on the dead run like Joe DiMaggio. This time Bowen missed and It was 20-7.

And so ended the third period to arrange the setting for the Kansans plucky final-quarter rally which failed by a foot. BEST DRESSED MEN JgjlfclSER 7-MAY YOU PAY NO TRADE-IN E. PRICE Keisef-Freier 0strfeetr 1785 S. W. Eighth St.

sembled 59,578 (turnstile count) and even some of the milder Tech supporters. Their own 2,500 constituents leading the vocal chorus, the Kansans had come from behind in the second period to tie Tech at 7-7. Then, as Silent Jim Still began to peg strikes to his receivers, the after intermission with two beautifully executed forays into treasured KU territory during the third quarter. The Mid-Westerners, tiring under the warm, if in-and-out, sunshine, appeared to be on the point of a rout. Their underrated line fought back doggedly against the more publicized Tech forwards and Ray Evans and Forrest Griffith and Pattee and Hogan were giving a good account of their own offensive talents for two and a third periods.

But with Still taking dead aim and firing touchdown tosses to Billy Queen and Jimmy Pat-ton the jig appeared to be about up. The KU's were not weakening badly, but had lost a little of their alertness, and anyway the more or less -unheralded Still's spot pitching had become a little too devastating, to say nothing of Billy Williams' coffin corner kicks. However, if their spirits were flagging, their courage was not. Facing a 20 to 7 deficit, they suddenly remembered for what the proud Jayhawker name stands and they resolved to battle to the last ditch, al least to win the admiration of the multi- midway of the third quarter a frown from Dame Fortune that may have averted an easy tri umph. That was when Dead-Eye Jim Still hit Bob Jordon with a 35-yard aerial and he stepped off the remaining 15 to goal, but one Tech player was offside to nullify the touchdown.

Tech led, 14-7, at that juncture land- they scored again before the period was out, thus that Jordan crossing could have turned the game one-sided. The first quarter saw the teams play about evenly as they felt each other out. Williams, the gifted Tech kicker, lofted a 53-yarder out against the wind at the Kansas four, but they emerged from that. Early in the second Williams kicked out on the Kansas six and again they fought their way back, only tQ have the toe artist slam another 47 yards to their seven, which Evans raced back to the 12. However, Kansas was pe-alized to its one for clipping.

Pattee panted 40 to George I Mathews, who was back with it 15 to the Kansas 26, and that opened the avenue for Tech's first score. McCoy gained two yards, Patton's pass failed, then Patton dashed into the end zone and speared Still's chuck for 24 yards. Dinky Bowen kicked goal. This didn't daunt the KU's, though, for they took over at their own 35 and swept 65 yards to match Tech, a Hogan-French pass of 17 yards preceding Evans' headlong dive for 12 and the TD. Fambrough booted the point to make it 7-7.

Tech began to roll in the third, rattling off three first downs with Still passing for 11, 5 and 18 to three different catchers, and next to Queen for 18 to the KU 16-yarder. Still climaxed the-drive by whipping one to Queen in the Northeast corner, which he THE ROLLO JHILLITS Game-Saver and Hogan's pass went incomplete. When Evans' aerial went wide it was fourth down, 15 to go. Here the Georgians were slapped with a five-yard penalty to their '12 again, whereupon Evans slipped back into the end zone, maneuvered into the clear and snagged Bill Hogan's perfect pass right into his hands for a touchdown. Don Fam-brough kicked his second point-after and Kansas, with some 3 Mi minutes to go, still had a fighting chance.

The crowd knew it. The Jay-hawks summoned their unspent energy for a final drive after Queen had taken Fambrough's jpRAZEH DELIVERY REGULAR PRICE.

and certain portions of thebrawl lacked holiday fireworks, but the intermittent action of the last three periods, notahly the ultimate five minutes, converted the contest into a classic worthy of any or all of its predecessors. Kansas, the underdog, refused to accepte the dopesters ratings, and in the fleeting minutes aye, seconds of fierce fighting for very inch of bowl emerald they came within a yard some say a foot, of crashing through that charging avalanche of black jer-sies famed in song and story to the touchdown that would have tied and maybe the point-after.

They were lit erally set on fire, and so was the throng, when quarterback Lynne McNutt bullseyed Otto Schellbacher for 16 yards carrying to the Tech .27. It was three minutes to go as Evans ripped off four yards, then McNutt and Schnellbacher brought the crowd to its feet when they Connected up a 13-yarder; indeed, the Kansas star end raced on across the Tech goal but he was ruled out of bounds at the Tech 10. Evans, the AU-American, was like a demon possessed as he took the ball and catapulted eight yards through center to the Engineers' two. One' couldn't have heard a fumble drop for the noise when Tech was penalized to its one for delay. On second down Mc-Nutt's strategy called for a quarterback sneak, which he tried as the crowd sat hushed for a moment.

But the Tech forward well, which had received some pushing around, galvanized into action. As McNutt started he must have thought a new upper deck had fallen in upon him. All American 220 pound Bob Davis went straight for him as the brilliant Jim Healey charged the snapper. Thev all collided one foot from the Tech goal It was a mad scramble, and a fumble, with a tie or victory al most certain for KU. When the referee arrived he untangled the mass and found Rollo 1'hillips, Tech guard and co-captain, serenely in command of the coveted pigskin.

-Just a yard from his well-defended goal. A niagnifirent opportunity, the chance of a lifetime, was gone, the Kansans were plunged into a pall-like gloom, but the Georgians were able to smile again, wanly as the Jackets maneuvered to get out of the hole. They had a time at that, ad vancing only to their three-yard line in a series of plays until Kansas was penalized 15 for un sportsmanlike conduct. And so the moments finally fled and the Techs breathed their first sigh of relief for fully live minutes. Expecting a r.ither comfort able afternoon of it, the Engineers found themselves up against a worthy foe.

In first downs Kansas led. 14 to in yards gained rushing, 129 to 100, and in passing, 15S to 129. Still, in me important fumble depart ment Kansas trailed with four against one, and that proved meir undoing. Actually there were breaks for both sides, but the most noticeable one was that McNutt fumble at the one, and the argu ment continues hot and heavy today over whether the officials ruled correctly, many claiming Tech "stole" the ball before the reieree arrived on the scene.

E. FIRST AVENUE Rollo hugged a football to his chest long enough to wrest possession from a touchdown-bound Jayhawk team and wreck the Kansans' dream of fame in the last two minutes and 10 seconds. His action, according to his coach, Bobby Dowd, saved the Techs from being spilled by an undeddog team. 'Fate was kind to us," Dodd declared after the game. "Kansas was much better than we ex pected and probably deserved to win.

Especially the way they played at the end." Phillips came up out of the crush with the ball that Lynne McNutt had when he went into the press. The Tech guard, whose bride of 15 days witnessed the game, said he found the ball between a tangle of legs and hands and gathered i in. His successful lunge stopped the thrilling power-driven surge with a leaden thump that was felt by every person in the packed bowl. It was Rollo's honeymoon and he made the most of it for himself, his wife and Tech. "If Kansas had scored that touchdnwn," Dodd said, 'they undoubtedly would have beaten us.

But they did more than that they came within inches of wresting the already chalked-up victory (in the minds of the Engineers and most of the fans) with one of the greatest finishes that has ever glamorized the old bowL i Xot long after they changed sides for the fourth quarter, Kansas took a Tech 51-yard punt at its 44. With Pattee running and Hogan passing they advanced down to the Jackets' 22, moving the yard sticks twice. The Kansas cheering had been reserved up to that time but when Hogan hit Bryan Sperry for 10 yards and another first down at the Tech 12 the stadium began to resound with cheers. Scott was hurled back for five as the Jackets stiffened Phillips did a good job of recovering." The Kansjin were an all-around surprise to the Engineer mentor.

The enemy line, he believed, was better than his own highly regarded forewall, the factor that ruled Tech a nine-point favorite. "They were tough. Much tougher than we expected. And clean. The cleanest I've ever sent a team against.

George Sauer has done a splendid job. His outfit is one of the top three or four we've faced, easily ranking with Navy, Alabama, Duke and Georgia." "They making good throws and great catches while we weren't able to do much all afternoon." He added that in his opinion Jim Still was the outstanding Jacket on the field. The brilliant quarterback pitched four touch down passes (one of them was nullified by a penalty) and sparked the Tech third-quarter tally matches. Members of the Tech team, however, who were in an excellent position to know, declared Forrest Griffith, 19-year-old Kan sas fullback, was no slouch offensively. George Mathews and Dinky Bowen said the Jay plunger was the hardest ran-ning back they encountered all season.

All-American Bobby Davis, heading for the pro ranks after leaving Tech, and Ray Evans, Kansas ace, wound up their collegiate careers In a flicker of mediocrity according to Dodd. The best he could say for their performances was that 'they were mediocre."

Themoneyed men are, Im beckoning to Captain Bill Healy Dodd said, but "he has another year of eligibility and I hope he stays with us. I think he will." The Tech technician thought Healy was the only lineman who played outstandingly for the Engineers and credited Billy Williams' kicking with staving off Jay threats and keeping them in a hole with his long boots.

He added that didn't think Evans was All-America stuff before we went into the game and we have no reason to change that opinion now." The real punch in the Lawrence Larrupers, he felt, were Fullbacks Forrest Griffith and Frank Tattee and members of the Tech team, who were in a position to know, concurred in the opinion Arkansas Rally Trims W.
