Hawks out pass ISU
POWER PLAY
Sophomore fullback Mike Reeves (dark jersey) fights for extra yardage against a reluctant Iowa State defensive line. Reeves picked up 36 yards rushing against the Cyclones to help offset KU's passing game.
The Jayhawks passed over the Iowa State Cyclones to a 28-14 victory in Memorial Stadium Saturday.
Track squad imports Ben Olison and Gary Ard created a small turbulence of their own as they fled downfield on two occasions under Bob Douglass spirals.
Olison put KU's second score on the board when he gathered in Douglass' pass on the 33 and scamped in untouched to pay-dirt, for a 58 yard play.
Then late in the third quarter, NCAA long jump champion Ard charged through the Cyclone defense and grabbed the ball for a 69 yard gain. The Hawks scored two plays later to give KU its winning TD and a 21-7 lead. Ard's completion came on a crucial third down play.
With the speed Ard and Olison plus several other of KU's backfieldmen have, Iowa State thought it was prepared. But Coach Clay Stapleton admitted they had underestimated it.
"The basic difference today was speed," Stapleton said. "I talked to the ISU team before the game that the difference would be just that."
Rodgers predicted it
Humorously, Rodgers had predicted this game almost perfectly during the summer, just off-the-cuff.
He said that with all the speed KU has all he would have to do is send Don Shanklin on a pass play, then Junior Riggins, then John Jackson and just for good measure, speedsters Olison and Ard. By that time the defense should be tired out.
"KU had by far the best speed we've seen." ISU Safety Jeff Simonds said. "They had more fast individuals than any team we've faced."
KU's fourth TD was made with a pass to Thermus Butler, for 24 yards. The day was a good one of KU's offense, especially the
passing phase.
Quarterback Bob Douglass completed nine of 16 for 210 yards and added 34 yards rushing to continue his league leadership in offense.
The passing game was spread among six receivers and the rushing phase was shared by 10 individuals, none of which lost yardage.
Fullback Mike Reeves led with 36 on five carries, followed by Douglass and J. C. Hixon with 32.
The offense was given a helping hand by captain and defensive linebacker Mike Sweatman who
intercepted a John Warder pass at the ISU 36, and returned it to the 29. Four plays later Butler scored.
Otherwise, the KU defense allowed ISU completions, almost at will. But the Hawk defense faced one of the midwest's best pass catchers in Tom Busch.
He was the target of all Warder's 7 first-half completions and ended with a school record 15 for 134 yards.
Homecoming is next for KU as the Jayhawks play K-State in the long-anticipated dual between the two schools next Saturday.
The freshmen footballers started KU in its winning ways Friday with a 17-7 victory over Oklahoma State.
Freshmen win first. Lockwood saves it
John Riggins paced the Hawks with 107 yards on 24 carries. Quarterback Dale Holt completed seven of 14 passes and rushed for
52 yards. He completed a 22-yard TD pass to George Garrett in the first half.
Dave Lockwood, a defensive halfback, tackled an OSU back on the one-foot line just as the half ended.
Cheaper in the end.
The rear end of a VW Station Wagon won't pinch you when it comes to money.
With the engine back there, and no hood up front, the VW parks in 4" less space than an ordinary wagon. (So it gets that spot near the curb more often.)
The VW engine is air-cooled, so there's never anything to anti-freeze. And it takes pints, not quarts, of oil.
It takes regular gas. And averages 23 mpg.
(An ordinary wagon only gets about 14.)
The whole car costs only $2512.00
So it's cheaper in the beginning too.
