Kansas to open 1952 football drills as Jayhawks rival playoffs
Kansas University begins football practice for the 1952 season with about 66 players reporting under Head Coach J.W. Sikes. Key returnees include George Mrkonic and Oliver Spencer, both on All-America lists last year, while several sophomores and juniors compete for spots. Knee injuries threaten Spencer and Lundy, leaving the tackling lineup unsettled as Texas Christian looms. Meanwhile Denver hosts the American Legion junior baseball regional series starting Monday with high local turnout expected.
