PEACH: North Carolina State vs. an undetermined opponent. The bowl bids apparently leave Notre Dame out in the cold for the moment, plus the loser of this week's Big Eight clash betweenubernate and Rochester. All of the spots in the Big Four (Sugar, Rose, Orange and Cotton bowls) are sweed up. Ask David Williams. or Bill Mallory. or Even Bud Moore. Kurt Knoff makes a lot of difference in the University of Kansas' pass defense. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Terry Bradshaw threw a 42-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to Lymn Swann with seven seconds left before halftime, then guided three touchdown drives and scored a 31-yard field goal. Steelers 28-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs here yesterday. Kniff, a senior safety, missed Saturday's game with the University of Colorado because of a pulled hamstring. The Buffs took advantage of his absence to complete 12 of 15 passes for 189 yards enroute to a 24-1 win on the Jayhawks. Chiefs beaten, 28-3 "This isn't an excuse," said KU coach Bud Moore, "but not having Kurt Knopf hurt us considerably. When you have defensive backs as small as Andy Resht (54, 186), their receivers look seven feet tall. They have the biggest receivers I have even seen." THE TWO FAVORITE receivers of Colorado quarterback David Williams were tight end Don Hasselbock (6,8-24) and split end Dave Logan (5,6-23). Both were able to outmuscle the smaller KU defenders for the football. That's where not having Knoff hurt the most. At 63, 200, Knoff has the size to stay with big receivers, such as Hasselbeck and Logan. "Kniff is a player, " Colorado coach Bill Mallory said. "Needless to say, it helped our passing to have someone in KU's secondary with very little experience at "WE JUST TOOK advantage of what KU'S defense would give us." Williams said. "We're flexible enough to do it." Then he echoed what everyone else had been saying: "The big surprise was Knoff not plaving. I'm sure it made a difference." Williams was able to drop back all day and explain the weaknesses in KU's zone strategy. With Missouri coming to town this week, he will be an important man. He's well listed as a question mark. The Tigers boast the league's top passer and the leading receiver, Henry Marshau. That's probably the best passing A WIN OVER MOSIOUR is a must if the Jayhawks are to keep alive any hope of receiving a bowbill. After Saturday's loss, chances are equal that KU will get a bid even with a win. But there are still a lot of spots open the Jayhawks are to receive. They name them as Missouri, which lost a heartbreaker to Oklahoma Saturday, 28-27. but the bowl scouts watching Colorado against KU probably had lumps in their throats late in the third quarter. The Jayhawks, after a pass interception and a touchdown by Brandon Jennings, Steve Tewell, had taken a 14-10 lead, Cromwell scoring on a two-yard run. combination we have faced all year," Moore said. "They can pick you to pieces with the short stuff and burn you deep at the same time." Colorado is on its way to the Astro- Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, a bid the Buffs accepted yesterday afternoon.

That's nobody else's fault but ours." By YAEL ABOUHALKAH Sports Editor The KU defense, so magnificent in last week's 23-thrashing of Oklahoma, fell apart only a few times against the potent Buffaloes. But those occasions were enough to show the Big Eight, as evidenced by its 419 yards of total offense Saturday, 230 on the ground. Muffed field goal attempts, missed tackles and a disappointingly small, unimpressed home crowd all contributed to Saturday's 24-21 loss to Colorado. OF THE TWO FIELD goal attempts, head coach Bud Moore said, "You try to do the sensible thing in those situations. And you can play the baseball game and both of them would win it." And University of Kansas football players readily conceded all three factors. Kerbel had missed a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter. His first field goal attempt, a 28-yard in the initial quarter, was blocked by the receiver who was bobbled by richer McAuliffe. "I guess I'm through." They want to meet Denis Kerbel in KU's locker room. after the game. He didn't pull any punches and failure to score more than Pince dices.

"That was a big play," he said. "If it hit him, it would hit him, it would have changed the game." THE TALK OF A possible bowl bit bidding on one game's outcome hadn't affected the other. *The talk of the game* But some of the players said they had been more influenced by the poor turnout in Memorial Stadium. The attendance had been announced as 40,120. But because of regional telecasting by ABC-TV, at least 5,000 of those ticket buyers decided to stay home, creating a large void in the horsehead end of the stadium. "We want to play in front of fans who like football and king said. "It's just different for football." "WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD, they always fill their stadium up. And even though the crowd's really cheering for the other team, that gets us up too. It's just something different when we play at home." Center John Morgan was also dissatisfied with KU's plav at home. "It always happens in this . . . stadium — every damn year it happens," he said bitterly. "Everytime we got down there and didn't score, we should have got a field goal. What did we get—21 points? It should have been a lot more." AU'S LAST-GASP cornebuck attempt wast corned his son's cradle kick wasd kicked "I hit it right," Swift said of the kick. "I did everything I could I thought I could do." "I really feel bad. The guys were giving it out hell out the. I really wanted the last shot to get that." But Colorado came back and scored shortly after Cromwell's touchdown. The Bucks, making numerous third down combinations, drove 62 yards in six plays to lead, 17-14. carries. That pushed his total to 1,071 yards for the year and made him only the fourth quarterback in NCAA history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Staff Photo by DON PIERCE "That was the turning point." KU linebacker Danny Lepage said they came right back and drove the length of the field on us. They were capable of making the third down conversions, and knocking out the next one. A frustrated Bud Moore COLORADO PUT AN insurance touchdown on the board in the lunge on the football But Bob Swift's onside kick took one buoon into the arms of a Colorado player, who threw a punch. But the Jayhawks weren't dead yet. With 1:35 to 1:50, Cromwell connected with Waddell Smith for a 32-yard touchdown pass. That cut the lead to 24-21, and if the Jayhawks could recover an onside kick, there would still be hope. CAN DO . . .

But the fossil record is composed mostly of gaps. The transitional forms between the various basic kinds are all missing links. evolution- the missing link? thoughts whom philosophers assure us that evolution is true, even though there are many "missing links" asak for proof, however, they equivocate. "Well, the reason for that," she says, "is evolution took place in explosive sports in small populations, thus there were too few of the transitional forms to produce fossil." "You can't really see evolution taking place today," they say, "because it takes millions of years for one kind of organism to evolve into another kind." So where do we find the proof? Oh. Now we understand. the reason we can't see any proof of evolution is because it went too fast in the past and is senescent in the future. The problem that evolution itself is the missing link!
