28 (P) The Uinversity of Kansas closed a disastrous football season today by swamping Colorado State in one of the late season's upsets 26 to 0 before 3,000 fans. The two teams played the Turkey Day game on soggy turf, which was the result of a ground thawing rapidly under the bright sun that made its appearance early in the morning. Kansas neaded only five and a half minutes for 'its first touchdown. After the Rocky Mountain team tried three line plays, it punted and the ball was returned to the Colorado 45. On the first formation Fry broke loose for 18 yards; Ed Hall banged over the marker but missed the conversion attempt.

i PILE UP LEAD Kansas scored again in the'first period when Herb Hartman blocked a Colorado State punt and Kansas took possession on the Aggies 32. 'Fry swept left end for 17 yards and when stopped on the 15, lateralled to Hall who wentt all he way. Halt added the" 'Score: Coloracw State 0, Kansas 13. Neither club could organize an elective attack at the start of. the second period because of the soggy ground.

Herb Ulrich, Kansas left end, twice made spectacular tackles of State ball carriers on attempted punt returns. A' Jayhawk march of 59 yards was halted on the 21 where the Ag gies' defense stiffened and took over. The Colorado State passing was being stifled by an alert K. U. defense, Fry running back one inter ception 15 yards to mid-field just before half-time gun.

Score: Colorado State 0, Kansas 13. FRY RUNS WILD Jake Fry got away for 54 yards for the third Kansas touchdown on the first scrimmage of the sec ond half. Almost stopped by Right End John Meyers behind the line of scrimmage, Frjt squirted through the line unmolested the final 30 yards. Hall -again missed the kick. After the Kickoff Colorado was forced to punt and Fry brought it back 27.

yards. Fry's romp started the Jayhawks off fop the fourth marker which came with Hall blasting the final half yard and Big Jim Holloway coming to kick the extra point. With the huge lead, Coach Henry began substituting heavily. The Jayhawker subs made no de termined drives during the last pe riod, and spent most oi the time keeping the bewildered Aggies away from the pay dirt territory.

The yardage gave Knolla a season's total of 1407, 39 more than Harmon, who closed his collegiate career last week with 1368 yards gained. Knolla scored the Bluejays only touchdown. The total put Knolla in front of the pack' of nation's tall carriers and surpassed the mark made by Kenney Washington of U.C.L.A. who piled up 1370 yards to take first place in 1939. Last year, Harmon finished second to Washington with 1356 yards gained and this year was only three yards from a new record and resting in first place until Knolla's teats today.

I NEEDED 76 YARDS The Crelghton halfback was the only player with, a chance to catch 98'" in total offense gains rushing and passing: He had been hovering around in the first ten all season and last week held the top. Knolla needed only '76 yards to pass and take the position again on the basis of total yards gained which is the classification under which the bureau rates the grldders. Paul Christman of Missouri finished third. A week ago today American Football Statistical Bureau figures showed that Tom Harmon' of Michigan would have to. stage a yard-eating least against Ohio State or fall short of Ills 1939 ground gaining feats.

So Harmon had the. feast and topped his feats. Ranking eighth and needing some 300 yards to get back In the running this year as well as to draw pven with his last year's perform-i ance, he packed the ball 26 times for 161 yards and passed it 22 times for 148 yards to account for 309 yards against Ohio State. However, this was not sufficient to withstand Knolla's, flssaultpn the. jecord.

HARMON'S RECORD Harmon's complete 1940 record jshows that in. 280 plays he rushed the ball 869 yards and passed it 499 ior his 1,368 total. This figures out at 171 yards average per game, more than a lot of teams' make; 4.89 yards average per play; 4.65 yards average per rush, and 5.37 yards average per pass attempt. Al Ghesquiere, Detroit's senior, is apparently safe as the 1940 rushing leader, his 957 yards from 146 rushes being the highest since Whizzer White of Colorado racked up 1,121 yards in 1937. Knolla must collect 193 yards today to pass Ghesquiere.

Billy Sewell of Washington State has the 1940 forward passing crown clinched with 80 completions. His four nearest competitors have hung up their duds for the season. Sewell last week completed 15 passes against Gonzaga. Should he have another such day against Washington here Saturday hell pass the and had the pick of the field, McCormick would be his second choice. Joe DiMaggio would be the first.

TITcCORMICK is in there ev-L'J- ery day. He plays his posi-, tion as well as anybody else, hits with all of them, and hiUI when it counts. He is the idsali team man does every-, thing you ask of him. He leaves you wanting nothing more at first base. Frank McCormick has the longest consecutive game string among present National League players.

One of his ambitions Is to banc up a record for continuous play in his circuit that will stand up as surely as Lou Gehrig's will Iff the American. DISAPPOINTED, no doubi because his bench-warming failed to bring the Yankees, their sixth pennant in the 11 years he graced their dugout. Arndt Jorgens resigned to enter business. Obviously; Jorgens, a catcher who never had to prove it, didn't consider the prospects ooerly bright for another J5000 world series check in 1941. what did the at the price? rpHE Cleveland club next spring can't miss being xalled Peck's Bad Boys.

Thanksgiving Day was a really extraordinary day for the Kansas State football team. Not only did they eat turkey with the rest of the nation but they also "talked turkey" at a morning session and then wore off the effects of the dinner at the hardest afternoon of practice they've had in a long time. By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after the squad had absorbed a full two hour session of blackboard work by Hobbs Adams and his associates before noon, the team was out on the field engaged in preliminary exercises. Hobbs let the boys limber up first with punting and group running drills and then called them in together to really get down to business. He pulled out the blocking dummies and sent the squad through several blocking assignments, interchanging offensive and defensive men to give everybody a crack at the Job.

GET DOWN TO WORK Then the gridmen settled down to the afternoon's work the job of bolstering the defense against Nebraska's single and double wing formations. At the morning chalk talk, Adams and his staff had diagnosed Cornhusker plays and set up a system of blackboard defenses that the Wildcats might employ in slowing down the roaring Husker attack. Now the mentor was going to put the system Into practical use. With one team using Nebraska's offensive formations and another Using the defenses devised, the Wildcat squad started the practice ball rolling. Time after time the K-State coach sent the Nebraska team backs through one side of the line and then another, around one end and then through the other, stopping only to demonstrate to the linemen the logical way of following the opposing back and possibly piling up the play.

HUSKER PASSES WORK Some time was spent on the tricky Nebraska reverses while the coaching staff maneuvered the backs and ends Into defensive positions in preparation for the running and passing attacks, of which the latter seemed to work out to a fair degree o'f success much to the consternation of the tutors. Every man on the field had an opportunity to get in on the workout' again as the Wildcats were strictly a' varsity bunch last evening; and all the backfield combinations were used in order to give the individual players an opportunity to accustom themselves to the defenses employed. After a gruelling two hours of this kind of work, which actually brought out the perspiration on some of the squadmen in the mild arid sunny weather, the team again ran through its own plays to brush up on the running and pitching phases of the attack. About this time, it was getting mighty hard to see the ball, so Hobbs Adams told the boys to turn in 'for the day. 'Potsy' Clark Tq Grand Rapids Football Post GRAND RAPIDS, Nov.
