Hawks morale dampened
The new carpeting in KU's dressing room will be tough to clean.
After Saturday's loss there was a lot of ground-in-dirt and clumps of grass ruining its appearance—and a good portion of Jayhawk pride had fallen to the floor.
Neither Coach Pepper Rodgers nor quarterback Bob Douglass

A spirited group of young Jayhawks proved Saturday afternoon they will have to be reckoned with on the cross country paths this fall.
They lost a narrow 77-78 decision to an experience-laden Abilene Christian squad at the Oklahoma State Jamboree. But that was with team leader Mike Hayes under par from running with no sleep the night before and junior Jim Ryun absent.
The Hawks' charge was led by sophs Glenn Cunningham, eighth in 20:43, and Roger Kathol, 11th in 20:45.
Following for KU were captain Curt Grindal (16th, 20:47), Pat Miller (19th, 21:04), Mike Petterson (24th, 21:14), Mike Hayes (26th, 21:16) and Carl Nicholson (31st, 21:27).
Individual winner was John Mason, a senior from Fort Hays State in 1948.

Defeat hit the Hawks hard Saturday, especially to a team they were picked to defeat at the first home game of the season.

"I don't think it hurt our morale," Douglass said slowly, "but it definitely didn't help us any."
Though he had his best dav throwing the completed 12 of 20 for 153 yards). Douglass still felt he played poorlv. a sentiment shared by most of the players.
"You never play well when you lose," he said.
Douglass and Rodgers agreed on KU's pre-game evaluation of the Bobcats, who played much better than expected. Of particular notice was the play of quarterback Cleve Bryant.
"Bryant riddled our secondary," Rodgers said.

Bryant connected for several long passes including two for TDs of 54 and 39 yards. Lack of speed in the backfield hurt KU on pass coverage as linebacker Pat
Hutchins was unable to keep up on occasion with 'Cat receivers.
"Hutchins was a linebacker in high school and as a freshman," Rodgers explained, "and he's going to get burned some. He did today.
“He's not a great big athlete and doesn't have a lot of speed.”
Now the Hawks, under Rodgers' guidance, will have to regroup themselves and buoy up the morale for next week's Big Eight opener with Nebraska's Cornhuskers.
"If they aren't as high as a kite Nebraska will blow us out of the stadium," Rodgers predicted.
"I hope we're up."
