Indiana next-Errors aid Stanford
By Chip Rouse

Next stop—Bloomington, Indiana.
Preparations begin today for KU's second gridiron opponent of the season, the University of Indiana.
The Jayhawks dropped their first game Saturday.
Stanford took advantage of KU mistakes and then held on in the closing moments for a 21-20 victory. The Jayhawks had a chance to pull out the contest with a little over two minutes to play in the ball game; however, a 32-yard field goal attempt by sophomore Bill Bell sailed to the right of the uprights preserving the triumph for the Indians.
Fumbles costly
KU fell behind early in the contest when tailback Junior Riggins fumbled the opening kickoff, setting the stage for the first Stanford touchdown. A second Jayhawk fumble also paved the way for the Indians' second tally early in the second quarter.
Riggins put the Jayhawks on the scoreboard in the second stanza by hauling in a Stanford kickoff and rambling 87 yards to paydirt.
Bell added a 27-yard field goal with five seconds to go in the half to close KU within four points, 14-10.
Don Shanklin scored on a 47-yard punt return to put the Jayhawks ahead early in the third period, but Stanford promptly marched 79 yards for the go-ahead and winning tally.
Statistically, the crimson and blue finished with 12 first downs, 64 yards rushing and 171 yards passing, as compared with Stanford's 14 first downs, 240 yards rushing and 41 yards passing.
The real story in the game's outcome was not revealed in the offensive statistics, but in the team mistakes category. Stanford defenders recovered three KU fumbles, two of which led to Indian touchdowns, and intercepted three passes. In addition, the Jayhawks were penalized 64 yards during the game. One KU touchdown was called back as a result of a penalty.
Signal caller Bob Douglass, who heads coach Pepper Rodgers' "moving quarterback" offense, fired 23 passes and completed 11 to account for KU's 171 yards through the air.

"I never saw a team as nervous as we were," Rodgers said after the game. "But I knew that would happen.
"We hadn't scrimmaged enough; we hadn't hit hard. But we could have lost by a lot more than we did," the KU mentor explained.
The Jayhawks will try to square their season record Saturday when they knock heads with the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington, Ind.
