Big Eight Opener Successful
Offense Shines as KU Humbles Colorado 35-8
By Steve Clark
It's one down and six to go for the Kansas Jayhawkers in Big Eight conference play.
Saturday, the Jayhawkers opened league action against defending champion Colorado and ended a Buffalo 10-game consecutive league win streak.
THE BUFFALOES who went undefeated in Big Eight play last year, were no match for KU's depth. power, and speed, bowing 35-8. line ending a 55-yard KU drive
"I don't know if we clicked so well, as Colorado just got tired," said KU Coach Jack Mitchell following the game.
Colorado was able to contain the Jayhawkers in the first half allowing but six points. The Jayhawkers came back strong in the second half scoring twice in both the third and fourth quarters.
KU'S SECOND HALF offensive machine started operation early. Colorado reliquished the ball in four plays on its first series in the second half. With the ball on the 50-yard line, it took the Jayhawkers four minutes and ten seconds and seven plays to score.
Leading the KU scoring march was Gale Sayers who picked up 28 yards on two carries. With the ball on the three yard line, Rodger McFarland carried on a quarterback keeper and ran untouched into the end zone.
On KU's next series of plays, it took even less time and effort to score. A hard-charging KU line forced CU'S Bill Symons to hurry his pout on a fourth down and four situation and the ball went high into the air, hit about the 50-yard line and bounced back to the Colorado 39.
SAYERS RAN 18 yards to the CU 21. Baughman carried four yards and Leiker three, before Sayers ran 14 yards to score. The drive took one minute and thirty-two seconds.
Colorado, known as a passing team, used its passing attack more than usual and attempted 40 passes, a new record for a KU opponent. The old record was 38 attempted by Oklahoma A&M in a 55-14 losing cause in 1949.
The Buffaloes completed four of six passes on their lone touchdown march of the afternoon. Taking the ball on its own 28 yard line, CU used 12 plays with Bill Harris scoring from the one-yard line with 9:13 remaining to play.
THE BUFFALOES were aided by two KU penalties, one for a personal foul and the other for pass interference.
The Jayhawkers first score came with one minute and thirty-seven seconds remaining in the first quarter. Fullback Ken Coleman dived into the end zone from the two-yard
The drive started when CU's Harris carried on a fourth and one situation but was stopped by the Jayhawker forward wall, and KU took over on downs.
McFARLAND AND Baughman shared the load on this drive. McFarland carried the ball once for eight yards and connected with end Mike Shinn on a 24-yard pass play on a third and nine situation. Baughman carried for seven and two yards respectively.
KU's fourth touchdown came with 36 seconds elapsed in the fourth quarter. McFarland connected with end Jay Roberts who was all alone down field on a pass play that covered 47-vards.
The fifth touchdown was the result of a 51-vard run by tiny Dave Crandall, a 5-10, 160-pound sophomore from Topeka. Crandall skirted the left end, received a block by Baughman and ran untouched into the end zone.
Sayers was the game's leading rusher carrying the ball 14 times for 122 yards for a 8.7 yard average per carry. Coleman carried 13 times for 57 yards. Symons led Colorado, picking up 41 yards in eight carries.

ROAD BLOCK—It appears as if KU fullback Ken Coleman's path is blocked by the Colorado forward wall. Coleman, however, did not take a detour. He crashed head-on with the Colorado
line and carried for a six-yard gain. The Jayhawkers who defeated Colorado 35-8 here Saturday, meet Iowa State this weekend at Ames.
