Jayhawk jabber
By Chip Rouse Kansan Sports Editor
Strangely enough, there seems to have been a mixup of signals after Saturday's traditional KU-KSU battle involving rival coaches Pepper Rodgers and Vince Gibson.
The story goes that Gibson was mildly perturbed because Rodgers did not shake hands with him after the game.
"I walked out on the field and he just ran right by me," Gibson said. Gibson was reported as saying several of the KU assistant coaches and players did offer congratulations.
"There's a Big Eight rule against it." Rodgers said.
Chalk another one up for the KU coach, because there is such a rule. The rule, which was decided among the league coaches themselves two or three years ago, states, "coaches handshakes shall be eliminated following conference games."
Wayne Duke, executive director of the Big Eight Conference, said the rule was agreed upon because it is often difficult to find an opposing coach after a game, and emotions are many times such that the ensuing action is meaningless.
A number of major conferences, including the Big Ten, have adopted such a rule, Duke said.
Better luck next time, Vince . . .
KU forward Jaye Ediger has decided to give up basketball to concentrate on his studies, KU cage Coach Ted Owens announced Tuesday.

Owens said the 6-5 letterman didn't feel he could contribute much to the team this season and felt he could use the extra time to concentrate on his studies.
Ediger, an All-State high school product from Hutchinson, scored four points and pulled down 11 rebounds for the Jayhawks in limited action last year.

KU basketball, track and football squads have won 20 consecutive outings with Big Eight Conference opponents. The string dates back to Jan. 17, when the Jayhawk cagers dropped a 62-59 heartbreaker to Colorado.
Liggins named top lineman
For what Oklahoma Coach Chuck Fairbanks called "the best game of his career" Sooner guard Granville Liggins today was named the Big Eight Lineman of the Week.
The Tulsa, Ckla, native threw a monkey wrench into the usually smooth Colorado offensive machine Saturday as the ninth-ranked Sooners stunned the Buffers 23-0 to take a commanding position in the Big Eight race.
Liggins was in on eight unassisted and six assisted tackles and put constant pressure on the Colorado offense.
"Great Effort"
"Granville played the best game of his career," said Fairbanks. "He made a great effort on each play, putting a terrific rush on their passer, stopping up the middle, and catching three players from behind near the sideline."
Buffs quarterback Bob Anderson, who ran the majority of his option plays toward Liggins, said, "He was on top of me quite a few times. You really don't notice who it is all the time, but, several times I knew it was Liggins."
One of the noseguard's key plays resulted in a Colorado fumble which led to the Sooners third touchdown late in the game.
Defensive Sparkpiug
Liggins has been a sparkplug in the Sooners' stingy defense all season. With the 21-year-old senior showing the way, Oklahoma has allowed only 16 points all season and has been scored upon only once in Big Eight play.
Called by some "the best middle guard in college football." Liggins is the second straight Sooner to earn Big Eight Lineman

It's simply not cricket, man, to serve Italian pizza in an English Pub. I have an appointment next week with Mr. Kraft-Farthington of the Pubkeepers Association to bring this matter to his attention.
