'Hawks' defense takes pounding
By ROBRAINS Sports Editor
AMES, Jow-All that talk about the bottom earlier this season can now be forgotten.
this season earlier before they found a new low Saturday.
In losing to the Iowa State Cyclones 41-3, the Jayhawks showed not only that their offense is still in critical condition, but also had their defense come away with more candidates for Purple Hearts than Bud Moore cares to think about.
Until Saturday's game, it had been the defense that had kept the Jayhawks at least within a respectable distance of their opponents this season. But the bubble finally burst in ISU Stadium, and with it came the worst defeat KU has suffered in the aerials two schools and two drubbing a Moore-coached team has ever absorbed.
BUT THE JAYHAWKS are not winning, and it is back to the drawing board for Moore and company this week as they enrequire for intrastate rival Kansas State.
"we weren't effective," a drained Moore said after the game. "We gave them too much too early. They played a fine football team like a winning football team is supposed to."
University Daily Kansan
"This is the biggest game of the year for several reasons. Moore said yesterday that he will take on a challenge."

getting up for K-State; it's a matter of state pride."
After the game, Moore said that the coaching staff would be giving a good, long look at the game films to see where improvements could be made.
"We'll take a look at the total situation," he said. "We've got to do something. We've got to get some things happening to our team. I don't know what that's going to be."
"WE STILL haven't made any decisions as to what we're going to do." Moore said. "I know we can have a wholesale change—but you don't have it." But we might make a few minor changes."
Yesterday, Moore said no decisions on specific changes had been made.
The story Saturday followed the script that has become all too common, but it had a few new acts, the most noticeable of which were the injuries.
Three Jayhawk regulars were knocked from the game in the opening quarter, and more were added to the casualty list as the day progressed.
Last for the season was offensive guard Greg Woods, who suffered torn ligaments in his left elbow.
King also suffered ligament damage, but Moore said yesterday that a decision on whether he needs an operation has not been made.
"I don't really know how it happened. I went to my left, then the ball went to (Dexter) Green and I had to go back to my right. Somebody hit me on my blind side."
But perhaps the fiercest hit of the game was recorded on Iowa State's second possession of the game, when Cyclone tackle Dick Cuvielier knocked KU defensive end Jim German cold with a ferocious block.
German, who at first was believed to have suffered a broken jaw, was chasing Ray Hardee after the Iowa State had taken a handoff from quarterback Terry Rubley when Cuvuel levelled him from the blind side, giving him a conclusion.
OTHER JAYHAWKS who emerged from the game with something other than bumps and bruised egos were Jimmy Little, who suffered a deep bruise on his right thigh; Jerry Calvich, who had a knee injury; and Iggee, who was sidelined with a leg injury.
in the game--score in the first period. Tom Buck of Iowa state took a Mike HUBach pumpt at the Cyclone 31 on the Hawks' second quarter and went away with Harry Snyder recovering for KJ!
Kansas moved to the 25, which was to be the deepest penetration of the day until late in the fourth quarter, but an illegal procedure penalty stopped the drive and forced the Jayhawks to settle for Hubach's 47-yard field goal.
That was all the offense KU could musse in the first half, as the Cyclone defense limited the Jayhawks to 68 total yards and just two first downs.
'WE SPOTTED them three turnovers and that forced us to be ineffective in them.'
Indeed, the three turnovers in the second quarter evaporated the Jayhawks' chances of winning as quickly as the morning haze over the stadium had disappeared.
Brian Bethek, the second of three quarterbacks that the Jayhawks employed in the game, admitted that the turnovers took the life out of the offense—aint.

Oklahoma State slowed down the I.M.
Hipp Enterprise weekend but not enough to prevent a defeat at the hands of 10-tanked Nebraska.
Hipp, the sophomore walk-on sensation for Nebraska, was held to 71 yards—66 yards below his average—but the elusive tailback managed to score two touchdowns to propel the Cornhuskers to a 31-14 victory Saturday over the 18-ranked Cowboys.
"It it just happened." Bethke said. "Boom, boom, boom. It was 21-3 and they just kept adding on. Our offense didn't do much and that didn't help the defense.
Hipp scored on a 10-yard second quarter run to tie the regionally televised game at 7-4, and tailed what turned out to be the first point in the third quarter to run early in the third quarter for a 3-12 lead.
Big Eight Standings
"I'm very happy with what I did." Hipp said.
"I didn't get all the vards I usually do.
THE GAME was billed as Heisman Trophy run-off between Hipp and Oklahoma to determine individual battle never materialized as the defenses squared off against the two young men. Miller was held to a season low 118 points, but he gave him his 18th straight 100-vard game.

In other games, Oklahoma remained the only unbeaten team in the conference with a
Browns run past Chiefs
CLEVE兰AND (AP)—Don Cockrott booted three field goals, and Greg Prutt raced for 153 yards including a 78-yard touchdown burst as the Cleveland Browns pounded the Kansas City Chiefs 44-7 in a National Football League game yesterday.
THE CHEIFES, 1-6, hurt their own cause
with the tears. The two pass inte-
gressors in the first half.
Browns quarterback Brian Sire threw for 200 yards before being replaced late in the third advantage of Kansas. Sire's fumble to move the Browns 47 yards for their first score, completing the nine-play drive with a seven-yard pass to tight end
Cockroft, the NFL's all-time leader in field goal percentage, made it 16-0 with his three field goals. The veteran placekicker converted from 29 and 34 yards before the seventh straight three-pointed on his seventh straight three-pointed from 27 yards, early in the second period.
Cleveland's rugged defensive unit blanketed the Chiefs' offense, harassing Kansas City quarterbacks Tony Adams and Mike Livingston throughout the game. The Chains managed only 61 yards under Adams' direction in the first half, and failed to threaten in the second half under Livingston. The Rams scored a goal as averaged a shutout with Livingston's 22-yard pass to John Brockington with 1:19 remaining in the game.
Cleveland safety Thom Darden turned the game into a rout with 6:40 left in the first half. He stepped in front of the intended receiver at the Kansas City 18, grabbed Adams' pass and raced untouched to the end zone as Cleveland went ahead 23-0.
THE BROWNS and Chiefs swapped pass interceptions late in the second period. The Browns moved into another touchdown with 1:09 left. The Brown's moved 43 yards in three plays, and Mr Prutt went the final yard after Greg McDougall sparking 29-yard run with a flare pass.
The Browns entered the game in their healthiest condition of the season. All-Pro defensive tackle Jerry Sherk made his first appearance of the season. Sherk, who急着 come early in the second period, is nearly 100 per cent well after a preseason knee injury.
THE OKLAHOMA defense intercepted four passes, recovered a fumble and recorded seven sacks, but was deprived of a shutout when Kansas State cornerback Homer Jones intercepted a Dean Blevins pass, returning 33 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown.
Oklahoma quarterback Thomas Lott rushed for three touchdowns and 96 yards in just 31 minutes of work to keep Kansas State winless in the Big Eight since 1974. Three players topped 90 yards rushing as the Sooners offense rolled up 483 yards on the ground.
Pete Wools continued his aerial mastery of the Big Eight with two second-half touchdown passes to keep Missouri in the lead, with its first victory in Boulder in 12 years.
"The jinx has ended," Missouri coach Al Ofonio said. His job appeared in jeopardy three weeks ago after the Tigers had fallen to 1-4
But Woods, who suffered a knee injury in the season opener against Southern Cal, returned to the starting lineup at that point, and Missouri almost upset Oklahoma before going on to beat both Kansas State and Colorado.
Cleveland moved from its own 13 to Kansas City's 11 on its first possession of the second half, but the Chiefs' cornerback Jamaal Grant scored a zone for his second interception of the game.
Woods hit 14 of 29 passes against Colorado for 140 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to Joe Stewart and an eight-yard scoring strike to tight and Kellen Winslow, which extended the Buffalo's' winless streak to three games.
42-7 decimation of Kansas State; Missouri
rocked at 41-43 and Iowa state
rocked at 41-53
The Browns broke the scoring ice with 3:13 left in the third quarter when Greg Prutt burst through right tackle on a first down play at Kansas City's 22 and sped in for a touchdown. It was Prutt's longest run from scrimmage in his five-year pre career and capped his biggest rush day of the season, bringing his total past 500 yards for the season.
KANSAN Scoreboard
Oklahoma is 4-0 in the conference, after
Nebraska 1-0 Iowa State at 3-1 and

Experience
Freshman quarterback Steve Smith saw his first varsity action Saturday when he came in to direct the Jayhawks' offense in the fourth quarter. Smith, from Emporia, was the third quarterback the Jayhawks used in the game. He completed five of 11 passes for 43 yards and rushed for five yards on nine carriages.
For the Cyclones, the turnovers—two on missed connections between the quarterback and hallback Bill Campfield—gave them all the help they needed. Led by the defense, which ripped off Green, the Cyclones picked up 442 yards of total offense, more than double KU's total.
GREEN, WHO gained 149 yards on 26 carries, also scored two touchdowns, the second of which came on a 14-yard run in which he broke three tackles.
"This was our best team effort of the year," Bruce said. "The defense seemed to get stronger all day long and our offense played every game. They really looked good today."
For his part, Iowa State coach Earle
Brown asked defense the credit for
putting up a fight.
"I think our team is getting better. I didn't think it would be that easy. Kansas is a good team. We got a lot of breaks and took advantage of them."
THE JAYHAWKS, however, saw their season record fall to 1-6 and 1-audal 0-3-1 in Big Eight play. The only positive thought some of them will have this week is that Saturday's game is against K-State, which possesses an even worse record.
The Cyclones moved to 3-1 in the Big
Bend for second and then Nebraska. They are now 4-2.
"I've never played K-State," Bethke said. "But I understand the intensity of the rivalry. It will be a good game. They have played a little bit like us and they seem to be well up until the final quarter. We'll both be hungry for a win, that's for sure."

Iowa State fallback Dexter Green eludes a KU defender in Saturday's game at Ames, Iowa. Green contributed 149 yards in the 41-3 homecoming victory and ran for two touchdowns to remain the Big Eight scoring leader. The junior from Woodbridge, Va., passed 2,002 yards in career rushing and is now fifth on Iowa State's all-time rushing list.
Cross country team captures AAU meet
KU women's cross country coach Teri Anderson has been stressing the importance of wearing appropriate shoes she took over the team earlier this season. And that advice paid off Saturday in Tulsa, Okla., as the Jayhawks placed all seven players on the team and won the AAU National Championship.
“This is so great for everybody on the team after they'd worked so hard all year,” Anderson said. “We were hoping to do well, but we really didn't know how we were going to do.”
The Jayhawks did not place any runners in the first three positions but relied on a goal from a player.
Michelle Brown, Oklahoma City sophomore, led the Jayhawks with a fourth finish. Her time for the 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) course was 1:25.57. The best individual time of 1:15.00 was posted by Oklahoma State's Karen Bridges.
Following Brown were Karen Fitz, fifth place in 1:26.10; Bridget Bennett, sixth in 1:29.57; Michelle Trahan, seventh in 1:33.45; Robin Mathewson, eighth in 1:34.03; Deb Strehle, 11th in 1:37.48; Deb Bertz Hegtze, 12th in 1:45.00.
Anderson stressed the significance of only 20 minutes separating the first and last runners.
"Michelle (Brown) ran a six minute and 20 second mile pace and Debbie (Hertzg) ran an eight minute pace," she said. "Anything else?" She said, like that, you're going to do pretty well, like that.
Some of the area's dominant teams, such as Kansas State and Iowa State, weren't at the meet, but Anderson said the Jayhwks were no less deserved of the win.
"We were just elated after the meet," she said. "It's been a long dry spell for some of us, Michelle Trench told me after we were there. It didn't didnt' ever won a medal, even in high school.
"We don't have the fastest people in the world, but I've been telling everybody that if they just kept at it, that everything would nav off some day. Saturday it did."
Anderson said she hoped the win would give the Jayhawks a boost in their practices this week. Friday they travel to Ames, Iowa, for the Region VI meet.
"That's our next goal." Anderson said, for the NCAA national. This last year, he led the team to a 5-0 record.
