Kansas State 'Blues'; Hawk Defense Account for Win
By Bill Sheldon
The Kansas State Wildcat marching band came onto Memorial Stadium's turf at halftime Saturday to do its part in the University of Kansas Homecoming and played, as its opening number, "The St. Louis Blues."
The purple and white clad musicians maneuvered from sideline to sideline, spurred on by the tempo from wafer-thin, platter-type drums.
The KSU band, later seated amidst the series record breaking gathering of 34,000 on-lookers, came forth with the solemn notes of "Exodus." On the gridiron, the scrapy Wildcats must have felt the one thing they wanted was to leave, especially quarterback Larry Corrigan.
LIKE THE BAND, the efforts of the Wildcat footballers resulted in the "Blues" as their offensive line showed little more resistance than the thin white drums, providing Purple backs only lateral "progress."
But, although the visiting marchers departed with possibly just sore throats, the Wildcat team went back to "Silo Tech" feeling the pain of a 34-0 defeat from the Kansas Jayhawkers through their entire bodies, especially the plucky Mr. Corrigan.
THE WINNERS, playing their best defensive game of the season, continually rolled back the smaller Kansas State offensive front wall to smother aspiring passer Corrigan.
Fourteen times the superior KU defense erupted in waves of crimson to inundate Corrigan for a total 74 yard loss.
Stopping almost all 'Cat rushing thrusts with experienced line play and tackling which was consistently more vicious than in any other game of the season, the Jayhawkers left the visitors the pass as the only recourse. But the determined Kansas chargers and the leech-like backs allowed the Purple only five connections in 14 aerials for 42 yards.
THE DETERMINED Corrigan, returned to the line-up for his first heavy duty since injuring his back in the second game of the season, went down for the final time in the last two minutes as three KU rushers grounded him on the K-State 15-yard marker. Corrigan was knocked unconscious by the onslaught and remained motionless for a full minute. After the game he said, "I don't remember a thing."
The sophomore signal-caller was not seriously injured.
The Wildcats were dumped for a minus 10 yards total rushing and had only two plays of note.
Spencer Puls skirted the Kansas right end twice for significant gains, racing 28 and 11 yards to start the final period. He was the loser's leading ground-gainer, getting 43 yards on three carries.
NOT ONLY DID the Kansas defensive stalwarts, led by Ken Tiger, Elvin Basham, Jim Mills, Larry Allen, and Jay Roberts, allow the hapless Wildcats no quarter, they played a significant role in aiding the Jays' offense by maintaining field position for KU.
"Our first drive was one of the finest of the season. Haddl's (John) running of the option was a big factor. But that one drive was all we did offensively. Our passing was nothing," said not overly pleased Coach Jack Mitchell following the win which lifted the Jayhawk-

ers' record to 5-2-1 and 5-1 in the Big Eight.
But the men of "Snob Hill" as one of the epigrams of the intra-state rivalry names the Jayhawkers, had enough offensive punch to grind for 257 yards rushing, a figure surpassed only by the 274 yards amassed in the 42-8 rout of Oklahoma State two weeks ago.

The 215-pound senior, having possibly his best game of the season, scissored through the flailing arms of inept Wildcat linemen, befuddled and stiff-armed the 'Cat linebackers, and simply out-ran the deep defenders.
LEADING THE JAYHAWKERS on the ground was Curtis McClinton who rambled for 82 yards on 14 carries.
He tallied twice, once on a 5-yard slant through the opposite side of the Wildcat alignment from his right halfback position—the play with which he had the most success—to give the Hawkers a 14-0 intermission margin. The other touchdown came on a well faked, precisely lofted Hadl throw which covered 44 yards. This accounted for

the final touchdown with 3:05 remaining to play.
The sophomore responded with two first downs and 17 yards on two consecutive bursts through left guard, and went on to score KU's third six-pointer. He had 44 yards for the game to boost his season mark to 390 lengths.
Ken Coleman, the Hawkers' leading ball carrier of the season, wasn't even called upon by the KU coaches, continuing to employ their sideline semaphore play-calling technique, until early in the second half.
Hadi tantalized the 'Cat defensive ends with his use of the option to total 43 yards rushing to add to his four-for-eight, 105 yards passing aggregate.
The other scores for the winners, who face California at Berkeley in a non-league tussle next, were made by Hadl and soph Tony Leiker on 8-yard runs plus two extra point kicks by Dean Barnes and a two-point conversion by Roberts on a pass from Hadl.
Jayhawkers Take Big Eight Crown
The Jayhawkers placed Dan Ralston fifth, Tonni Coane seventh, and Bill Thornton tenth to wrap up the title with 26 points compared to Oklahoma State's and Colorado's 78 points.
DOTSON'S championship time was 14:50, five seconds ahead of Metcalf and 18 seconds in front of Havward.

Bill Dotson won the individual championship and the Jayhawkers, the team championship, here Saturday at the Big Eight cross country meet to give the University of Kansas the first Big Eight title of the '61-'62 school term.
Dotson battled Oklahoma State's Danny Metcalfe and teammate Charlie Hayward most of the race before pulling away from the Cowboy distance ace in the last quarter mile to coast to victory.
MISSOURI PLACED fourth with 119 points; Kansas State, fifth, 128; Oklahoma, sixth, 144; Nebraska, seventh, 150; Iowa State, eighth, 174.
Ray Stevens, Nebraska's undefeated sprinter before the conference meet, finished fourth in 15:22 after being pushed by Kansas' Ralston who was two seconds behind.
Kansas State's Pat McNeal was sixth with 15:29; Colorado's Robert Griffith, eighth, at 15:35; Missouri'Roy Bryant, ninth, in 15:36.
THE PACK WAS closely bunched for the first half mile. At that point Colorado's Griffith and Steve McBrain, who finished 19th, set the pace. Nearing the mile mark Dotson, Metcalf and Hayward moved in front.
The Lawrence Country Club course was in championship-caliber condition but a wind of 15 mph somewhat hampered the participants. The temperature was 54 degrees.
The victory brought the league cross-country title back to Kansas after a year's absence. The Jayhawkers previous to last year owned a 13 year string as conference champions.
Oklahoma State was the defending champions having upset the Jay-hawkers last year at Stillwater. Kansas has placed the individual winner 13 times in the past fifteen years.
Threat by Hoop Frosh Falters; Varsity Wins
The University of Kansas varsity cagers halted a last-minute frosh rally Friday night to win the annual fresh-varsity tilt, 67-63, in Allen Field House.
By Roy Miller
Led by center George Unseld and forward David Brill, the yearlings cut a 13-point varsity lead to two. With 1:40 left to play, the score stood at 65-63.
VARSITY FORWARD Jim Dumas was then fouled and he connected on two free throw attempts. The Topeka forward's charity tosses proved to be the game's last points with neither team scoring in the last seconds of play.
The frosh quintet threatened to stage the second upset in the contest's history when they led 36-35 at the end of the first half.
Retaliating on the fast breaks of guard Jerry Gardner and center John Matt, the varsity stormed to an early second half lead of 55-42 before the frog began to threaten.
For the varsity, Nolen Ellison potted 17 points, followed by Gardner and Matt who each collected 14. Although compiling only seven total points, the frosh's Brill came through with five key points in the frosh's final rally.
ACCORDING TO COACH Ted Owens, balance was the key to the Javahawk frosh's threat.
"Balance is the thing that helped us the most," freshman mentor Owens said Friday night.
"Even when we sent in that last five (replacing the starting quintet) we were still able to do some good," Owens said.
BEFORE THE GAME. Owens had spoken of the balance between the front line and back line, but height also proved important in the balance picture.
With 6-7 Unseld, $ 6 - 7 \frac {1}{2} $ Jim Gough, and 6-5 Brill, the frosh controlled the boards.
Besides the balance between units, Owens thought the reserves showed ability. "When Ruggles (Richard) and Gough went in, they helped us a lot." Owens said.
Owens said that he knew defense against fast breaks would be a weakness. "We have no great speed," he said. The varsity took advantage of this weakness as they built their biggest lead with a series of fast breaks.
