Scanning the Big 8
When a fan reminded KU's Pepper Rodgers that Kansas was making games interesting this year, Rodgers quipped back: "I'd rather be a dull winner than an interesting loser."

How did Colorado's Mike Pruett, a high school quarterback wind up at end? "I just couldn't throw a spiral pass when I got to CU," Pruett laughed. "I don't know why or how it happened, but I still can't throw a spiral."

Another high school quarterback turned into tight end is KU's John Mosier, but unlike Pruett, Mosier resisted the move. "I figured if they tried to move me I'd change schools." Mosier said.
he used to move me, I'd change schools. Mosier said.
What has been the phase of end play toughest to adjust?
"Blocking—that's something quarterbacks don't do much of," Mosier laughed.
Cross country runner Mike Hayes had a lot of country to cross before he got a chance to run at the Oklahoma State Jamboree in Stillwater Saturday. He had a dental appointment in Kansas City Friday, and through a mix-up in ticket reservations did not get a flight out of KC until Saturday morning.
Coach Bob Timmons, not knowing where senior and team leader Hayes was, took off in the middle of the night from Stillwater to meet whatever plane Hayes would be on at the Oklahoma City airport.
Luckily, Hayes caught an early flight but didn't arrive until 23 minutes before the meet was to begin, 60 miles away. Timmons told him to keep a sharp eye out for police and get in his meet uniform. They made the trip in 23 minutes.
Hayes and Timmons drove up just as the starter shot the pistol starting the meet. Hayes had to dart through the crowd to catch up with the field. He finished 26th with a time of 21 minutes, 16 seconds.

The purple push is complete at Kansas State-perched on coach Vince Gibson's desk is the pride of Southwestern Bell— and Gibson—a purple and white telephone.
The designs on the field lacked the brilliance they had at the beginning of last week. This is due to the growth of the grass. One more coat after the growth stops will last for the rest of the year.
and cutting the grass nearly every day throughout the summer. The results were gratifying. Until Saturday the field had a thick, smooth mat.
With some cooperation from the weatherman, the Jayhawks should still have a good field to face the power end of their schedule.
Field torn up Saturday
Stadium reveals new look
If you were among those who arrived at the Ohio game before the teams warmed up, you probably noticed the field was in excellent condition, said to be the best in the 47-year history of the stadium. But by the time the game was over, the soggy field was not quite the same.
As a result of the three days of rain before the game, Glenn Repologle, stadium groundskeeper, has spent the last three days trying to replace all of the divots torn up in the game. However, with frost expected to set in this week, they will probably never take hold.
With the first frost comes other problems for Replogle. The first time the temperature falls below freezing, the bermuda grass will stop growing and lose its color. Then, not only will he have to
worry about spraying it green, but any grass lost will not grow back.
The additional color on the field, also new this year, is the result of six days of work with stencils and spray paint. The idea originated last spring from an idea by Monte Johnson, assistant athletic director, that the field be more colorful.
The excellent condition of the field was due to a concentrated effort beginning last spring after the Kansas Relays. The Relays left the football field almost bare from more than a thousand athletes warming up on the field, and two days of rain.
After the Relays, Replogle and his crew went to work tearing up nearly the entire field and planting it with bermuda. From there it was a constant job, watering
