Jayhawk jabber
By Chip Rouse
Kansan Sports Editor
It seems a little incredible, but who's to argue about KU's first place standing in the Big Eight Conference. Certainly not this sportswriter.
The victory over Iowa State, number three on the season, gives the Crimson and Blue an unblemished 3-0 record in conference play.
The last time the Jayhawks won as many as three conference games was in 1964, when they raced to a 5-2 won-lost mark in league play. During the 1964 campaign, the Hawkers mowed down their first four league opponents.
Finally it's here. This is the week everyone has been waiting for. This is homecoming week at KU—a week that will in the end hopefully decide many answers to questions which have been raised as the gridiron season has progressed.
In 54 homecoming games, the Jayhawks have won 18, lost 32, and tied four. However, against Kansas State's Wildcats, notably more timid than wild, KU has managed to sweep all four homecoming contests.
Ironically enough, in 1931, 1963 and 1965 (all odd numbered years), the Crimson and Blue tamed the Wildcats by identical scores of 34-0.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THIS
IS 1967.
Both schools have employed new grid conches this season. "Talkative" Vince Gibson heads the Kansas State football forces, while the more quiet, and more productive Pepper Rodgers has taken over the reigns at KU.
The Wildcats will visit the friendly confines of Kansas University's Memorial Stadium Saturday, sporting an overall mark of 1-4, and a league record of 0-3. The Jayhawks will enter the contest with a season record of 3-3.
An unconfirmed report has it that Gibson was quoted before the season started as saying he would walk back to Manhattan if his Wildcat eleven lost to the Hawkers. If this is true, I hope the KSU mentor is well equipped with shoes, for better or for worse.
In any respect, a civil war of controversy will be decided in Memorial Stadium Saturday when the two cross-state rivals meet head on.
Hawkers ignore rain while setting sights on K-State
The KU football team worked out for hours in the rain Monday in preparation for Saturday's game with Kansas State. Coach Pepper Rodgers said the bad weather was no excuse for the Jayhawks to work out inside.
"If the game was scheduled in the field house, we would practice there," Rodgers said. "Since we play outside, we will practice outside."
Rodgers said that he had no fear of the Jayhawks becoming overconfident.
"I don't think we played well enough to be overconfident," Rodgers said. "We fumbled the ball, dropped passes from center, blocked poorly at times and allowed too many passes to be caught."
There were no major injuries Monday, Tackle Keith Christensen, tackle Emery Hicks and middle guard Willie McDaniel were nursing minor injuries, but all are expected to be ready for Saturday's game.

Beta dynasty tumbles beneath DU barrage
By Robert Fntriken Jr. Kansan Staff Reporter
An intramural football dynasty has crumbled and another seems to be in the making.
Beta Theta Pi, who had been defeated only once during a nine-year span as "A" League bill champions, lost their second game of the 1967 intramural season to Delta Upsilon Friday 19-13.
DU, the unbeaten winner of the Fraternity A Division I championship, looms as the new fraternity football powerhouse. The West Hills fraternity also has two
teams in "B" League competition. Both of DU's B teams are on top of their respective divisions with identical 3-0 records.
Phi Psi's claim title
While DU was bursting the Beta bubble, Phi Kappa Psi was wrapping up the Fraternity A Division III championship, blanking Sigma Chi 10-0.
DU's Bill Woods intercepted two Eeta passes and scored the winning touchdown in DU's victory.
