Javhawks hoping trend continues

The Kansas Jayhawks have had more success in Ames, Iowa, later than just about anyone.
The last two times they have made the trip north, they have come away with victories. And they hope that trend will continue tomorrow when they meet the state of Iowa State in a 1:30 p.m. show that could improve or muddle the Big Eight title picture.
"We still have a shot at the conference title," Iowa State head coach Earle Bruce said. "We have a decided advantage over Oklahoma in that we have three out of our four remaining games at home and we've already beaten Nebraska."
For the Cyclones, it will be homecoming,
but that's not the only reason it's an important
reason.
The Cyclones, 2-1 in conference play and 5-2 on the season, are tied for second place in the Big Eight with Nebraska and Oklahoma. The teams meet tomorrow in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
KANSA HEAD COACH But Moore is not concerned with the conference standings that are in play.
"Where Iowa State stands in the conference is not a big issue with us," Moore said yesterday. "Woming a football game is important. We just want to win and we need a win."
For the second year in a row, the Cyclones are the surprise team in the Big Eight. After three wins, they won against Buddy Harderman, was declared ineligible, Mike Tryon took over. Tryon was injured in the first game of the season and Iowa State defeated Rusty Terry Rubley, a third-string quarterback.
Rubley has responded, leading the Cyclones to four wins in six games, including a 24-12 upset over Nebraska. Only losses to Oklahoma and intra-state rival Iowa have kept the Cyclones from an undefended season.
RUBLEY, a 6-2, 180-pound sophomore, has came off the bench to become the second leading passer in the Big Eight. Rubley has thrown for 940 yards and trails Colorado's Jeff Knapple on the passlead.
"I'm impressed with Terry Rubley," Moore said. "From what I've seen on film, I'd say he is running their offense with a lot of poise to have to bear a lot of pain for a sootheborn."
The Cyclone's offense is led by tailback Dexter Green, the fourth leading rusher in the conference. Green, a 5-9, 171-pound junior, got off to a slow start this season but has gained 318 yards in his last two games, against Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Green, who is averaging just under 100 yards a game rushing, leads the Big Eight in scoring with 10 touchdowns, one more than the entire KU team has produced.
IT WILL BE the second week in a row
kanata has faced one of the top backs in the BBL.
It will be one of the two in the BLA.
Dexter Green
of Oklahoma State, gained 149 yards against KU
"Green is an awful fine back." Moore
The Cyclones have the leading punter and the leading kick-off returner in the conference. Rick Bibbaila is averaging 42.6 yards per kick-off return and is averaging 47.4 vards on kick-off returns.
Though Green has received most of the publicity, it has been the defense that has won the close games for the Cyclones. Iowa is second in the nation. Eight in total defense and rushing defense.
But that defense received a blow last week against the Sooners when all-American candidate Ron McFarlane suffered a knee injury. McFarlane, who was operated on Monday, teamed with Mike Meskens to give up one of the top defensive lines in the Big Eight.
"The biggest question mark for the Kansas game is at our middle guard position."
said. "He's a different type of back than Miller is. He's not as big, but he has many of the same moves Miller does and maybe even a few more."

"I know everyone is probably getting tired of me saying this," Moore said, "but the truth. We are making too many mistakes to be a good football team."
Kansas has turned the ball over 27 times in seven games and the Jayhawks rank seventh in total offense in the conference and last in passing and scoring offense.
The Jayhaws have been using two quarterbacks, Jeff Hines and Brian Bethek, the last three games. Statistically, Hines is the runner and Bettek is the better passer.
Senior halfback Bill Campfield has provided the Jayhawks with explosiveness in the last three games. After missing the first three games with a knee injury, Campfield has rushed for 322 yards and has a 9.8 yard average a carry.
LAST WEEK against Oklahoma State.
Camp field rushed for 128 yards, a career high.
Due to increasing costs, Godfathers will deliver only to areas south of 9th St. and west of Massachusetts.
KU's defense has played well throughout the first seven games, ranking fifth in the conference. But the Jayhawks have allowed them to rush than any other Big Eight team.
Kansas will be playing the rest of the year without linebacker Don Pile. Pile suffered a knee injury last week and was operated on in the hospital Tuesday to replace Pile tomorrow against Iowa State.
A freak heel injury to KU kicker Mike Hubach may force him to miss tomorrow's game. Hubach injured his heel when it was run over by a bike on campus Monday. He punted in practice Wednesday but could not place-kick.

Moore said yesterday if Hubach, the second leading punter in the conference, could not place-kick, he would be replaced by freshman Steve Smith.
Birdsong leads Kings to victory
RICHTFIELD, Ohio (AP)—Rookie guard Otis Birds poured in 10 points, 17 in the second half, to spark the Kansas City Kings to a 119-14 National Basketball Association victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night.
The Kings, who grabbed the lead for good early in the first period, had seven players in double figures, offsetting a sparkling 32-point performance by Cleveland forward Wayne Russell.
