KU picked to beat K-State by 20
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The KU Jayhawks, on top in the Big Eight, rate a solid 20-point favorite over their arch rival, the Kansas State Wildcats. The teams meet Saturday in Lawrence.
But ninth - ranked Colorado,
another Big Eight power, is in
foul trouble. The Buffaloes now are
a five-point underdog to the resurgent Oklahoma Sooners.
Georgia, of the Southeastern Conference and currently fifth-ranked nationally, is rated only a four-point favorite over Houston. The Bulldogs' powerful offense was riddled this week when numerous suspensions were slapped on for curfew violations.
None of these are cinches. The only item in that category this week would be Tennessee over Tampa even up and no one is offering that.

The winner of Kansas' 55th Homecoming football game against Kansas State Saturday, will be the team which makes fewer mistakes, Jayhawk Coach Pepper Rodgers said Tuesday.
Mistakes to determine winner of K-State game, Pepper says
"It won't be just fumbles, but every mistake that shows up in the Sunday films, such as the blocked punt of missed blocking assignment," Rodgers added.
The Jayhawk coach said the Wildcats are a good football team with outstanding individuals such as linebacker Danny Lankas, quarterback Bill Nossek and split end Dave Jones.
"They've had a little bad luck but they played pretty good against Arkansas," he said.
Kansas-drilled on a muddy, rain-soaked field for the second straight day Tuesday with temperatures in the mid-50s.
The freshman teams of the traditional rivals also clash this week. That game begins at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Memorial Stadium.
The KU fresh defeated the Oklahoma freshmen 17-7 last Friday at Stillwater. The K-State yearlings have suffered defeats
by Missouri and Nebraska and still are looking for their first victory.
Bill Wohlford, KU freshman assistant coach, said he expects a hard-hitting game but the KU team would probably lack finesse.
"We have been working hard this past week on both offense and defense, but proper execution comes with three weeks of two practices a day and game experience," he said. "We haven't had either."
Because of a shortage of varsity reserves, the freshmen have spent much time working out with the varsity.
The freshman coaching staff is trying to let as many boys play
at as many different positions as possible. Wohlford said Don Autry would start at quarterback for the freshmen Friday. Dale Holt started at that position against O-State.
"We are going to try to play every quarterback we recruited last year," Wohlford said. "There are four of them. If we play one in each game, then the coaches can study the films and decide which boy they will work at quarterback next year. If it is not a boy's turn to play quarterback, he will be tried at different positions.
"We are trying to place each boy at the position where he will help us most," Wohlford said.
