Kansas Jayhawks Open 1955 Season With Depth Boost
Kansas football coach Chuck Mather heads into 1955 with improved depth and a stronger passing game as the Jayhawks prepare for the Texas Christian Frogs in Fort Worth. Potential starter Jerry Baker is doubtful with a leg muscle issue while Reich and Drake earned first-team spots and Lynn McCarthy recovers from a knee scrape. The squad, split between White and Red units in Monday drills, showed depth at fullback and tackle, with Mather stressing final double workouts before Friday travel to Fort Worth.
