6 Monday, November 21, 1977 University Daily Kansan Javhawks' air attack dooms Tigers. 24-22 BvJASONNUSS Sports Writer Bruin Bhetke was hobbling all week, but he left the Missouri Tigers in a daze when he directed the Kansas Jayhawks to a 24-22 win over the Tigers at Memorial Hall. Bethke, who injured his ankle in the game against Nebraska and was listed as a doubtful starter against Missouri, ran for 61 yards and completed six of nine passes for "We knew that the way they played us the last two years and the way they played Oklahoma that they just dared a wishbone team to pass." KU coach Bud Moore said. meet, the Tigers seemed susceptible to the pass. With Missouri in a nine-man defensive front most of the first half, Bethe completed three of five passes for 139 yards. "Brian read the defense well and well the ball extremely well," Moore said. "Bethke is throwing the ball much better and the receivers are holding on to them." TWO OF THE passes, a 46-yarder to freshman David Vorser and a 48-yarder to tight end Kirby Criswell, set up KU touchdowns. The third completion, a 44-yard touchdown strike to Bill Campfield, accounted for the final Javhawk score. The 180 yards scored the most yards a KU team gained through the air since the third game of the 1974 season, when quarterback Scott McMichael and Tom Krattilt threw for a combined total of 104 yards in a 40-9 romp over Florida State. denise, who was not told he was starting until Saturday morning, said the game plan called for the pass if the Tigers lined up in the nine-man front. "WHEN THEY are in a nine-man front only the safety is deep and the corners cover one-on-one," Bethek said. "We felt if they went to that formation we could throw on The Jayhawks opened up their passing attack on their third possession, after Missouri had taken a 3-1 lead. On first down from the Kansas 26 yard line, Beltkeh hit Visser for a 46-yard gain to the Tigers' 28. The game, Max Ediger scored from 18 yards out. After the Tigers regained the lead on a three-yard touchdown run by backhalf Annie Davis, Bethke struck again. On third down from the KU 24, he connected with Criswell for a gain of 49 yards to the Missouri 27. Criswell caught the ball only 10 yards downfield from the three ticks before he dripped down from it. "When I catch the ball, I want to get all I can," Criswell said. "I'll run through people for extra yards, that is, if I ever catch the ball." ON THE NEXT play, Bethke rolled around left end for a 27-yard touchdown, and Mike Hubach's conversion gave KU a 14-10 lead. The Jahyah scores on their next possession when Hutachk kicked a 52-yard field goal, breaking the school record he set when he kicked a 49-yard against Missouri. Bethke returned to the air on the next series, hitting Campfield, who was wide open in the Bat, for a 44-yard touchdown. The Cavaliers gave the Hawks a 24-18 halftime lead. suiters superseded their nine-man front four-four-deep secondary in the second half, while six-man depth suits "WE PLAYED mostly a four-deep secondary in the second half, and this helped," Missouri coach Al Onofroo, who has defeated KU only once in his seven years at Missouri, said. "Of course, I think our players played better in the second half." KANSAN Sports While the Tiger defense was shutting the Jayhawks out in the second half, the Missouri offense scored twice on a 3-yard field goal by Michael Muskus and an 18-yard field Newtown. But the Tigers came up empty on two crucial drives, the first coming midway in the third period when Davis failed to score on fourth and coal from inside the one. "There is no doubt that the goal line stand was one of the big plays of the season," Moore said yesterday. "For the challenge, I am sure to come to the challenge on a goal line stand." MISSOURI REFUSED to give up and marched to the KU 27 as the 'Hawks clung to a 24-30 lead during the final minutes of the game. But a fourth down completion to Lee Lewis fell three yards short of a first down. KU later took an intentional safety instead of扑出 out of its own end zone with 14 seconds left in the game to give the Tigers their final score. "That decision involved field position and time," Moore said. "We could use more of the clock with the safety and then have a kick from the 20 instead of the end zone." The win gave KU a 3-7-1 record for the season, the first losing season in three years under Moore. The win, coupled with Oklahoma State's loss to Iowa State, gave the Jayshawks a sixth place finish in the Big Ten. "I am never satisfied with a low finish, but it's certainly higher than most people thought we would finish at the beginning of the season," Moore said.

Crunch Receivers shine in victory Rv GARY BEDORE Sports Writer One of the best jokes around Memorial stage is the performance of RU's music receivers. Jayhawk fans have filled the stadium this year with grunts and groans after seeing well-thrown passes fall harmlessly to the ground. But Saturation, the grunts turned to cheers and the joke was on the Missouri Tigers when Brian Bettke passed his way for 180 vards in KU's 24-22 victory. The most unlikely hero of all was sophomore tight end Kirby Criswell, who most of the season had been accused of having rock-hard hands. KU a 14-10 lead, a lead KU did not remainuph.

In addition to hitting Criswell twice, Bethke completed a 44-yard touchdown pass to Bill Campfield and completed three passes to freshman David Verser. Verser's 46-yard reception helped set up KU's first touchdown. "WE KNEW THEY played nine men on the line," offensive tackle Lindsay Mason said. "We just played it smart and threw the ball more." Bethke said he was pleased with the receivers' performance. "Verser did a good job," he said. "The guys have been raining Kirby a little bit this week." Mason said that Bethke had improved a lot this season and had become a good team leader. Bethke compiled 61 yards rushing in the game along with his six completions. BETHKE SAID he had been happy with his improvement, especially on his pitches. In the first quarter, Betheke executed a two-hit double that ran 18 yards untouched for a touchdown. "You've got to get the timing in," Mason said. "The biggest thing in the wishbone is timing. He's going to be a real leader next year." "The pitches are a matter of timing between the quarterback and running back," Bethke said. "The more you do it, the better you get." Criasswell agreed that the whole侵离, with Betkeh, was improving by get- "He's like everybody else." Criswell said. "I couldn't run pass routes in the spring but it comes to you. Brian's finally getting it down." He said KU's pass receivers had undergone a period of transition this season. "WEVE HAD Vicendess moved to split end; I was moved to tight end from defensive end, and Verser and Rob Fulton pushed him back. He guys behind me at tight end are freshmen." Criswell was moved to tight end last spring after many 21st place finishes his freshman year. when I was a freshman they asked me if I wanted to play tight end," he said, "but after the first practice I asked to play on the scout team.
