Buff Passing Deals Kansas 20-19 Loss
By Bill Sheldon
As Head Coach Jack Mitchell said after the game, there was actually only one thing which his Kansas Jayhawkers couldn't do against Colorado Saturday — defend against the pass, the draw and the screen.

play, the Jayhawkers were as good or
better than the Buffalooes. But, all the Buffers needed to come from behind in the final 13 minutes to defeat the Jays, 20-19, was the pass, the draw and the screen.
This sequence was most obvious on the winning touchdown drive for Colorado in which CU marched 63 vards in eight plays.

Kansas Streak
Kansas goes into the Iowa State game Saturday carrying a modest streak of 28 scoring games. Jack Mitchell's editions haven't been shut out since Oklahoma scored a 43-0 win the fifth game of General Jack's first season, 1958. By scoring in the remaining seven games this season, Mitchell's club can move within four lengths of the all-time school record of 39, fashioned under George Sauer and J. V. Sikes, '47-53.

eased through ample holes in the surprised Kansas line three times during the march on draw plays, netting 27 yards and setting up the tying tally.
The screen pass was used once by quarterback Gale Weidner to jostle the Hawker defense, as he threw to halfback Ed Coleman for 10 yards to the KU 21.
Weidner tossed a short aerial to hefty right end Jerry Hillebrand who caught the oval near the five yard stripe and outran linebacker Jim Jarrett into the corner of the endzone.
But, it was the most potent weapon, the pass, which finally threw the game to the Buffs.

The effectiveness and quickness with which the Buffers penetrated the KU defense on the final drive was typical of each of the other scoring situations, and the CU offense on the whole.
But, it was only in the fourth period that the winners were able to dent what had been a tough Hawk defense with the regularity necessary to score.
The first three quarters were all Kansas, led by the hard running of Curtis McClinton and the spirited leadership of Rodger McFarland.
At halftime Colorado had only 88 total yards and it finished with 351 net yards.
McClinton led all rushers with 96 yards on 17 carries, caught two passes for 29 yards, scored two touchdowns and was outstanding on defense.
Showing the power, agility, speed and ability to react quickly which has made him an All America candidate, McClinton was nearly impossible to hold for less than five yards per try.
McClinton's two scoring plays exemplify the type of game he played. The first was a pass from John Hadi which McClinton picked out of the hands of Colorado defenders on the goal line and stepped across for KU's second touchdown.
His other score was a 19-yard gallop around left end in which he outran two defenders, ran over another, treaded a path down the west sideline and dove past the last tackler for the score.
McFarland's performance at quarterback may have won him that spot for the remaining seven games.
His mere presence seemed to be an inspiration for the Crimson and Blue. Not only did he lead the team offensively, but was a frequent tackler on defense where he also intercepted one pass and nearly got another — a Weidner to Ken Blain touchdown toss.
McFarland was the second best runner of the game, totaling 69 yards on 16 carries, several of which were on a very effective keeper-reverse which the Hawkers utilized for considerable vardage.
But, the outstanding performance by these two, plus Hadl's steady play, was a direct result of the best line play Kansas has had all season.
The pass protection was adequate, the blocking was quick and solid on the interior plays and consistently good on the wider plays.
As Mitchell said:
"There was no question about who whipped who out there today, we just gave the game away."
Little Scoring in Intramural Play
Low scoring games characterized last Friday's intramural football action.
Delta Upsilon downed a highly touted and publicized Delta Tau Delta 7-6 in Fraternity A league competition.
The Quickies eked out a 6-0 win over Templin in Independent A league action.
In Fraternity B games Sigma Alpha Epsilon defeated Delta Sigma Phi 7-6 and Phi Kappa Tau beat Tau Kappa Epsilon 9-0.
The Alpha Tau Omegas square off against the Phi Delta Thetas and the Sigma Nus meet the Tau Kappa Epsilon in Fraternity A league play today.
ASCE vs. Foster is the only action in Independent A competition. In the Independent B league Joseph R. Pearson #1 meets Navy, and Ace Pearson plays Baptist.

HOLD IT—Sophomore fullback Ken Coleman is stopped less than a yard short of a touchdown by a staunch Colorado defense in the first quarter. Although the Jayhawkers were held in this series of downs, they came back quickly on their next series of plays to score.
