OU, citrus down KU
By Chip Rouse Kansan Sports Editor
NORMAN, Okla. — Oranges filled the air Saturday as Oklahoma's league -leading Sooners poured on the gas in the waning moments to secure a 14-10 victory over challenging Kansas.
In all probability, the victory assured the Sooners of a spot in the Orange Bowl on New Year's night. However, official acceptance is not expected until today.
After nearly 59 minutes of football, it appeared as if the Jayhawks would move back into the conference lead, and in the process, secure their second victory at Oklahoma in the last 31 years.
But, once again, fate seemed to be destined in the opposite direction, as Oklahoma quarterback Bob Warmack lofted a soft touchdown aerial to tight end Steve Zabel with 1:02 remaining to spoil any hopes for a KU victory.
Ball defends on Zabel Halfback Tommy Ball, who had
the assignment of covering Zabel on the touchdown pass, said, "It was a good pass, right on the money. There wasn't much time left, and I thought they'd be going with an out pattern to the sideline."
Oklahma coach Chuck Fairbanks reported that the pass play was the same one used to defeat the University of Missouri, 7-0; three weeks ago.
The Crimson and Blue scored on its first possession when Bill Bell booted a field goal from 23 yards away. A blocked punt by defensive tackle Orville Turgeon on the Oklahoma 19 set up the second Jayhawk score early in the third quarter, making it 10-0.
On the following series of plays, Oklahoma marched 73 yards to paydirt for its first score of the afternoon. It was at this point that Orange Bowl fever began to come alive in the stands as a highly partisan OU crowd began pelting the playing area with oranges
As a result of the persistent
orange-throwing, Oklahoma received a controversial 15-yard penalty after its game winning touchdown.
An air of gloom and despair hung over the Kansas dressing room after the game.
"The time to call the penalty wasn't when the game was all over." Coach Pepper Rodgers said.
"I love to have oranges thrown at me and my players," Rodgers commented bitterly. "That's real big-time college football."
When asked whether any of the flying citrus hit him, Rodgers said, "I'm not going to answer that. I'm not going to give them (the OU fans) the satisfaction of knowing."
Asked about Oklahoma, the KU coach shot back, "Great offense, great talent, great coaching, great oranges."
Iowa State gymnast wins individual honor
"They caught us man-to-man on pass defense and just beat us," Rodgers explained. "They have a good quarterback, good faking—everything a good football team has to have."
Mike Jacki of Iowa State was the top individual performer and Tom Sexton of Oklahoma the all-around champion in the first annual KU Open Invitational gymnastics meet staged here Saturday.
Jacki received a score of 9.25 in the still rings competition to capture individual honors. The Iowa State ace also gained top honors on the long horse.
Sexton placed first in the high bar competition, and third in both his floor exercise and long horse routines.
Jim Gillespie was the only KU gymnast to gain a first place rat- infi, capturing individual honors in the side horse.
Roger Hemphill, a freshman on the KU gymnastics squad, received a compression fracture of the vertebrae while working out on the high bar Friday in preparation for Saturday's invitational gymnastics meet.
Hemphill is expected to be out of competition for at least a year, according to his brother, team captain Richard Hemphill.

Defensively, the Jay hawks played a superb contest, limiting the league's leading team in rushing offense to 100 yards—more than 150 yards below its seasonal average. The Sooners also top the conference in scoring offense, but could manage only 14 points against the Crimson and Blue, all coming in the second half.
This week—Missouri.
