6 Friday. October 24,1975 University Daily Kansas Cowboys stand in Jayhawks' path By YAELABOUHALKAH Sports Editor Kansas defenders Butler (l), Dinkel and Beeson celebrate fumble recovery all week long, Bud Moore has been hinting that the University of Kansas football team will have to pass in tomorrow's game with Oklahoma State. Who does Moore, KU's head coach, think he's fooling? The Jayhawks are averaging a woeful 20.5 yards a game through the air. That's the worst in the Big Eight. In fact, it's the greatest attack among the NCAA major universities. THE CONTEST IS THE first chance for most Jayhawk fans to see their players since Kansas' 20-9 win over Oregon State way back on Sept. 27. While KU's air attack has sputtered, its running game has sparkled. The Jayhawks are averaging 208 yards per game in the conference. That's a good reason not to throw. But Moore asserted that the Jayhawks will have to get a balanced attack against the defense. "We're going to have to throw the football to play well against Oklahoma State," was a typical Moore comment this week. "We had to throw the football that much." IF THE JAYHAWKS (4-2) actually do throw more than usual tomorrow, they'll probably have their top receiver, Richie Fox, back for the first time in three games. And if the Jayhawks go to the air, KU fans can expect to see more of backup quarterback Scott McMichael, who's rated a 7.4, than starting signal caller Nolan Clemens. OF COURSE, CROMWELL leads the league in rushing. It would be a big loss to remove him from the lineup. That throws up a challenge against a passing attack against the Cowbys. OSU, however, has the worst record o. defending against the pass in the Big Eight. Still, Moore said, "It doesn't matter how we catch it, but we throw it we catch it and catch it that counts." Oklahoma State, 4-2 after two straight losses, will come at the Jayhawks with its third-strip quarterback, Scott Burk, at the controls. Last week, he took the Cowboys within a hair of upsetting Nebraska; the Huskers won, 28-20. "ANY TIME YOU TAKE a third-d string quarterback and score 20 points against Nebraska. . . . " Moore's trails off, in response to the job Burk did against the Brukes. In Terry Miller and Robert Owen, OSU is 1. Drumming combination that’s tough (l) beats (b). "Miller is as fine an outside runner as I have seen," Moore said. "We both've got the best start." Miller, a sophomore, is averaging 83 vards a game. Turner is averaging 83. COBOW COACH JIM Stanley said of KU's defense, "I'm very impressed with Kansas. They held Nebraska to one touchdown, and that's better than we did." OSU tight end Sam Lile is confident the Pokes can move against Kansas. "We have to loosen them up with our passing," he said. "We have no choice. If's wrong, I'm going to have to die." KU's offense, meanwhile, will be tested by a shakty Cowboy defense. At least that's the case for the State. State has the worst defensive in the Big八 states, giving up 324 yards a game. "I KNOW OUR DEFENSE is good," said linebacker Mike Allen. "It's like jello—we need to throw it in the refrigerator and let it cool until it let it together, we can have a great defense." Defensive tackle Philip Dokes said of defensing the wishbone, "Most of the blockers use the same technique and it's hard for them to line no matter how the backfield is set." Stanley sums up the game this way: "How important is the game with Kansas? Well, the last three have decided bowl invitations. Does that give you a clue?"

KC Scouts surprise Boston, 3-2 BOSTON (AP) - Guy Charon's goal with 1:66 remaining lifted the Kansas City Scouts to a surprising 3-2 National Hockey League victory over the Boston Bruins here last week. Charron's goal came only minutes after Kansas City's Burber Harvey tied the score with a short backhand lift past Bruins' goal Gil Gibet. Johnny Bucyk tallied twice for the Bruins in the third period to put to bat in front. Simon Nolo scored for Kansas City in the first period, taking a cross-rank pass from Charron, and firing a 45-foot past Gilbert. Denis Herron has 35 hives in the Kansas City net, many of them spectacular, as the Bruins pressed in the third period.
