Kansas Wins Bluebonnet
A powerful Kansas offensive machine, featuring Ken Coleman and John Hadl. shredded the favored Rice Owls 33-7 on the rain-soaked turf at Rice Stadium Saturday afternoon in the third annual Bluebonnet Bowl game before 52,000 rain-coated fans.
Hawker fullback Coleman, voted the outstanding back of the game, enjoyed his best 60 minutes of the season, amassing 108 yards in 18 carries, the highest individual rushing mark by a Kansas back this year
THE JAYHAWKS DREW first blood when they moved 59 yards in nine plays to score with 5.05 left in
the first period as Coleman cracked over from the one.
A Hadl-Rodger McFarland aerial combination to the Owls' 36, followed by a 15-vard Coleman blast over the middle, set up the initial Hawk tally.
RICE CAME RIGHT BACK on the running of halfbacks Gary Poage and Butch Blume and the passing of Randy Kerbow, moving 69 yards to knot the score in nine plays. The score came on a fourth-down jump pass from Kerbow to Owl end Johnny Burrell. Blume's extra point gave Rice a 7-6 lead with 45 seconds remaining in the quarter.
The big break for KU, however,
Hawker Five Defeats Marquette; Lose Friday
Shooting better than they had all season, the determined, hard-fighting, Kansas Jayhawkers broke a five game losing streak at Manhattan Saturday night as they cased past Marquette, 76-62.
KU will see its next action Dec. 28 in Kansas City against Oklahoma in the opening round of the Big Eight tournament.
THE JAYHAWKERS again relied upon the superb outside gunnery of Jerry Gardner and Nolen Ellison, who led them in making 48 per cent of their field goal attempts, to lead the Warriors throughout the entire game with the exception of one occasion early in the first half.
It was the first win for Coach Dick Harp's squad since the opener against Arkansas.
Gardner hit for 25 points while Ellison tallied 22 to lead individual scorers on both teams.
Other Jayhawkers in double figures were Jim Dumas with 11 and John Matt with 10.
KU out-hustled the Warriors on every occasion and this led to the second defeat for the Milwaukee quintet in the weekend's Sunflower Doubleheader.
THE STORY of the Kansas win was one of tremendous desire and effort. This has been the trademark of this season's squad and although the KU won-loss is an unimpressive 2-5, the Crimson and Blue have never been counted out of a game with the exception of the loss to St. Louis.
In addition to the KU fight and spirit which proved too much for the taller Warriors, the difference came at the free throw line. KU sank 16 of 22 charity tosses while the Warriors were able to drop in only eight of 19 free tosses.
"They were a darn nuisance," said St. John's coach Joe Lapchick after the Kansas Jayhawkers almost defeated his Redmen Friday. St. John's was pressed all the way before ekeing out a 64-59 victory.
Lose to St. John's
The final meeting of the Faculty Quarterback Club will be held at noon, Wednesday, January 3. Coach Jack Mitchell will show films of the KU-Rice Bluebonnet game and will comment on other bowl games, in addition to outlining next year's prospects.
All faculty and staff members are welcome. Sandwiches and drink will be available for purchase in the Faculty Club lounge.
"For a team that's rated in the top ten we sure didn't show it." Lapchick continued, "KU was more than we bargained for."
THE JAYHAWKERS WENT against undefeated, 10th ranked St. John's with a 1-4 record.
The first half margin seesawed for 12 minutes before the Jayhawkers went down seven points. A rally with three minutes left led by Jerry Gardner, John Matt, and Nol-
Mitchell to Speak At Faculty Club
A country like an individual, has dignity and power only in proportion as it is self-informed. William Ellery Channing
en Ellison cut the Redmen margin to 28-27 at halftime.
In the second half St. John's broke away from the Jayhawkers but again were plagued by a late Kansas rally in the waning moments before pulling the game out of the fire.
THE BACKCOURT duo of Gardner and Ellison again paced the Jayhawkers. The pair accounted for 37 of KU's total points. Gardner's long 25-30 foot set shots and six free throws netted him 22 points, the game's high individual total.
Ellison hit five times both from the field and the free throw line to score 15 points.
from nine yards out on the double reverse. The Kansas drive began only two plays after the kickoff when center Kent Staab alertly gobbled up Poage's fumble on the Ow 36.
ST. JOHN'S CAPTAIN Kevin Loughey led the Redmen with 20 points. Three other St. John's players scored in double figures. They were Leroy Ellis, 16; Ivan Kovac, 14 and Willie Hall, 11.
came in the waning minutes of the half when Hadl skipped 41 yards to the Rice 19 after faking a pout on a fourth-and-five situation. Coleman then blasted up the middle for 18, and dived over from the one on the following play.
Rice came storming back through the air, but the Owls were caught short of paydirt on the Kansas five when the halftime gun sounded.
HADL'S TWO-POINT PASS attempt to end Jay Roberts was broken up by Owl halfback Jerry Chandler.
KANSAS' BALL-CONTROL game continued in the fourth quarter as the Hawks ran 28 plays while Rice could only handle seven.
But the complexion of the game had changed greatly by the end of the third period, as Kansas played control ball and battered Rice's tiring forward wall with successive touchdown drives of 50 and 36 yards.
SPARKED BY COLEMAN and McFarland, the Hawks scored with 9:02 left in the period when half-back Curt McClinton broke through a hole off left tackle and rambled six yards to score, with Dean Barnes adding the extra point.
Lapchick was impressed with the Kansas guards. "Of course we heard a lot about them and played against them last year. I will say that they are 'big league' anywhere."
Kansas ate up seven minutes of valuable time when they drove 69 yards in 14 plays to score at the outset of the fourth period, when McFarlane ripped through the Owl right side on the double reverse and ran 12 yards for the fifth KU touchdown.
KU added another tally five minutes later when McFarland scored

Another Hawker drive from their own 16 to the Rice 21 ate up the last five minutes on the clock, but the the Kansas drive was stopped when Hadl's pass to Benny Boydston was intercepted on the Rice 10 by Lonnie Caddell.
