Retain conference lead
Hawkers clip 'cats
By Chip Rouse Kansan Sports Editor
A group of fighting Wildeats invaded KU's Memorial Stadium Saturday, only to be tamed by KU's league-leading Jayhawks, 17-16.
Purple Power was the magical phrase, but unfortunately not the answer to stopping KU's Bob Douglass and company as the Jayhawk express apped its conference record to 4-0.
"We still have three touch games left," Coach Pepper Rodgers said after the game.
It was a hard earned victory for the Jayhawks, who came from behind in the final quarter on a 30-yard field goal by sophomore Bill Bell. Another sophomore, middle guard Emery Hicks, made what proved to be the decisive play of the came late in the first quarter, when he broke through the Kansas State line to block an extra point attempt by the Wildcat's Mike Bruhin. The touchdown was Kansas State's first against KU since 1959.
Douglass, who injured his hand late in the first half, bounced back in the second half on his way to a 204-yard afternoon in total offense. The junior signal caller from El Dorado completed 8 of 15 passes for 82 yards, and added 122 yards on the ground in 26 carries.
Tight end John Mosier placed his name in the KU record books by hauling in three Douglass aerials for 28 yards. The three receptions give him 26 on the season, pushing him one up on the old school mark shared by Otto Schnellbacher and Sims Stokes.
"I was a bit surprised when Kansas State kicked the extra point instead of going for a two point conversion, after their second touchdown," Rodgers said.
"We were going to go for the two point conversion, but our kicker got excited and went ahead and kicked it." Gibson explained. "We screamed and hollered but couldn't get his attention.
"I was real proud of our kids though." Gibson said. They played four quarters of good football."
"Our defense came through for us in the clutch—especially in the second half," Rodgers said.

UPI's top backfield led by Purdue star
(UPI)—Leroy Keyes of Purdue was named today in the United Press International backfield of the week for the third time this year, and thereby prevented a Texas monopoly.
Selected with the Boilermaker halfback were Mike Livingston of Southern Methodist, Ross Montgomery of Texas Christian and Paul Gipson of Houston who went on separate rampages in the Lone Star State.
Any one of several other Tex-ans could have bumped Keyes out of the week's big four if Leroyhad done a shade les.
Keves scores four TD's
Montgomery, a junior halfback, piled up 213 yards in 36 rushes for four touchdowns in a 29-7 victory over Baylor and Gipson hung up the vital points with a 25-yard touchdown spurt plus a two-point conversion run in a 15-14 victory over Georgia.
Keyes, a repeater, accounted for four touchdowns as Purdue walloped Illinois 42-9. He rushed 220 yards, scored three touchdowns from 3, 11 and 28 yards out and passed to end Jim Beirne for a fourth.
Livingston starred in a 35-28 loss against Texas, passing for 378 yards and tossing three of his four touchdown passes to little Jerry Levias.
Texas go wild Ed Hargget of Texas A. and M.,
threw three touchdown passes against Arkansas, Mike Leinert of Texas Tech ran for three against Rice and the year's best sub quarterback, Brooks Dawson of the University of Texas at El Paso, accounted for six touchdowns against New Mexico State.
Dawson, who accounted for seven while filling in for ailing Billy Stevens the previous week, passed for four scores and ran over two more against a team good enough to score an earlier victory over Utah State and tie North Texas State.
Other quarterback leaders included Steve Sogge of top-ranked Southern California, Harry Genso of Indiana, Curt Wilson of Minnesota, Loran Carter of Auburn and Chuck Williams of Stanford.
Sogge leads Trojans
Sogge passed for three touchdowns against California but had one intercepted for a score. Carter scored two and passed for one during one three-minute uprising against Florida.
Larry Walton of Arizona State led the other running backs with four touchdowns against Utah. Charlie Pittman of Penn State scored three times against Maryland, Steve Owens of Oklahoma twice against Colorado, Dick Lvons of Kentucky three touchdowns and a 32-yard field goal against West Virginia.
