Display Of Offensive Fireworks Is
LAWRENCE, Karis., Sept. 17.
11 f*i_-A brilliant display of offen-
sive fireworks may be expected
ha'uriiay u hen the Ivinsa* Jay-
liaukers and Texas Christian Hor-
ned Flops clash in one of the day's
outstanding opening football at-
t nutions—the first of eleven to be
televised nationally on NBC's
* of the Week" series.
Some 1! million sets may be
tuned to the Lawrence scene" and
for those who plan to be among
the TV viewers, here's what they
may expect:
A v rsatile Kansas attack spear-
headed by the great Charlie Hoag,
heralded as the most prolific ball
carrier in-KU annals. The Jay-
hawkers are a passing-running
outfit, with the backs counted on
to do most of the throwing and
receiving.
Hoag has netted l,44.r yards in
18 games In two years to se£ an
all-time record for Kansas carri-
ers. Elsewhere, the backfield com-
prises two brilliant quarterbacks
in Gil Reich, a transfer from West
Point, and Jerry Robertson, a Dal-
las demon who completed 55 of
ll.'l flips last season to rank se-
cond in that department in the Big
Seven Conference in 1951. Rob-
ertson connected for six in a row
against TCU last year.
Hoag To Have Help
Hoag, a corking receiver, will
have able assistance from half-
back Bob Brandeberry, but KU
ends are weak this season since
both top receivers in the line were
lost by graduation.
Those who have seen the Jay

hawkers In action agree that Hoag
Brandeberry and Reich all are ex-
cellent runners, and KU partisans
are touting Reich and Robertson
as among the best passers in the
Big Seven Conference.
On the Texas Christian side,
Coach Dutch Meyer may be expec-
ted to display a varied offensive,
too.
The Frogs, who boast six vic-
tories and two ties in nine prev-
ious clashes with Kansas—their
only loss was by 27 to 13 a year
ago in Fort Worth—have a wealth
of experienced performers, includ-
ing Gilbert Bartosh and Ray Mc-
Kown at the tailback position.
TCU Uses Spread
TCU uses the Meyer spread and
the tailback slot is the "soul" of
this type of attack. Bartosh, a bril-
liant star in 1950 who was out
most of last season with leg injur-
ies is back in good shape and Mc-
Kown, a sensational "find" as a
yearling in 1951, can pass and run,
like Bartosh. He also is the team's
top punter.
For receivers, the Frogs have
five proven athletes in ends Ted
Vaught and Bobby Blair, and backs
Jack Ray, John Harville and Glen
Jones. The manner in which they
snagged McKown's heaves featur-
ed the TCU march to the South-
west Conference championship in
1951.
Keep an eye on a TCU newcom-
er—Ronald Clinkscale, a former
All-Stater at Fort Worth's Arling-
ton Heights high school. He's re-
puted to be the fastest Frog in
many years. The sophomore clips
off the 100-yard dash in track in
9.6 seconds.
It was weakness on pass defense
that cost Texas Christian against
Kansas last season and Meyer ad-
mits this weakness still exists, but
he is hoping in a lesser degree.
AmariHo Wraps Up
First Half PI
(By UNITED PRESS)
Amarillo's Gold Sox -wrapped up
their half of the first-round Shau-
ghnessy playoffs in the West Tex-
as-New Mexico League Tuesday
night by defeating Clovis, 8 to 3.
Clovis won only one game of a
best four out of seven series from
the Gold Sox. The Pioneers' weak
showing was surprising because
they finished atop the league in
regular season play some 17 gam-
es ahead of the pack.
AmariHo finished the season in
fourth place.
The Gold Sox will rest while
waiting fo Borger and Albuquer-
uue to end the other half of the
first-round series.
Borger, which finished the sea-
son in third place, moved into a
2-2 tie with the Dukes Tuesday
by winning at Borger, 15 to 4.
The Gassers slammed two Albu-
querque pitcher for 17 hits. Car-
nett went the distance for Bor-
ger, giving up 13 safeties as the
winner. •

Sports 18 First
(By UNITED PRESS)
The Port Arthur Sea Hawks
evened its first-round Gulf Coast
League playoff series with Galves-
ton at two wins each by shutting
out the White Caps Tuesday night,
9 to 0.
Bob Chipman was the difference.
He limited the White Caps to four
hits while his teammates were
blasting two Galveston hurlers for
13.
The Sea Hawks' scoring was
helped along by seven White Cap
fielding errors. In the other haa
of the first-round playoffs, a game
between Corpus Christi and Har-
lingen at Harlingen was rained
out.
Corpus leads that series 2-1.
At Galveston, the Sea Hawks
served notice early they would be
hard to handle by erupting for
four runs in the first inning. They
added a pair in the fourth and sin-
gle runs in the fifth, seventh and
eighth.
Pioneers Pitched
Into B. S. Playoff.
(By UNITED PRESS)
John Andre pitched the Austin
Pioneers into the finals of the Big
State League Shaughnessy play-
offs Tuesday night on a three-hit
shut-out that defeated Temple, 2
to 0.
Temple, which finished the regu-
lar season atop the league, won
only one game during the entire
first-round playoff series. Austin
took the best four out of seven in
five games.
The Pioneers scored a big run in
the second inning and added the
cushion run in their last inning
at bat, the eighth. They got eight
hits off two Eagle pitchers start-
ing with Don Spyker, who beat
Andre in the only game Temple
won, and finishing off on Bob
King.
Austin now will meet Tyler,
which won its first-round series
from Texarkana, in the final
al series opens in Tyler Wednes-
day night.

Texas Demos Drop
Attempt To Plaee
Ike On Ballot
By O. B. LLOYD, JR.
AUSTIN, Sept. 17. <U.Ri— In-
surgent "Texas Democrats" Wed-
nesday abruptly dropped their bat-
tle to place Dwight D. Eisenhower
on the ballot as their party no-
minee.
The action marked a court vic-
tory for "Loyal Democrats" back-
ing Adlai Stevenson as their pre-
sidential candidate.
C. C. Renfro, Dallas attorney for
the conservative "T.?xas Demo-

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 1952—BRECKENRIDGE AMBRICAN-
crats" announced no appeal would
be made from a district court rul-
ing barring the party label from
Texas* general election ballot.
He said printed election ballots
would be in the mail to the 254
counties of Texas before final de-
cision on the court contest could be
determined.
There would be no sense in ap-
pealing, he said.
Allen Wight of Dallas, chairman
of the organization's state execu-
tive committee .said Tuesday the
"Texas Democratic" party would
continue its fight before the third
court of civil appeals.
Renfro's announcement apparen-
tly mount the end of the new splin-
ter group in Texas.
"We were just trying to give
these Democrats a chance to vote
for Eisenhower under the Demo-
cratic ticket," Renfro said.

LONDON lU.R! — A truck driver
parked his loaded trailer on a resi-
dential street, put red lights a-

to its axles in the street; the
weight broke two water mains;
resid -nts of the neighborhood went
without water for 12 hours; s
wrecking crew worked for five
hours to remove the 30-ton trailer
and a road gang had to be called
out to repair the street.
