Kansas Defeats Boston in Fog
Terriers No Pushover, Game Not Decided Until 4th Quarter
By Steve Clark
"Sun!"
This is the plaintive cry of the Kansas Jayhawkers as they prepare for their conference opener against Colorado here Saturday.
THUS FAR, the Jayhawkers have met two non-conference opponents, and on both occasions, the frontal conditions have been nothing short of lousy.
At Boston Saturday night, neither the Jayhawkers nor the Terriers could see the other's goal line if they were within their 40-yard line. A dense fog cut visibility to 60-yards.
Nevertheless, the Jayhawkers won their first game of the year, by a humble 14-0 score.
HOWEVER, Boston University who lost to Buffalo the previous weekend 27-23, was not the push-over that some had expected.
The Terriers gave the Jayhawkers a fight all the way, and were in contention until Kansas scored its second touchdown with three and one half minutes remaining in the game.
The Jayhawkers indicated that they were going to handle the Terriers with ease in the first quarter. After an exchange of punts KU marched from the Boston 42-yard line in seven plays to score its first touchdown with 9:44 remaining in the quarter.
A FINE DEFENSIVE play by sophomore tackle Brian Schweda started the Jayhawkers on their initial touchdown march. Aided by a high snap from the BU center, Schweda downed quarterback Tom Dauney before he was able to punt giving KU possession on the 42.
Sayers skirted his right end and moved upfield 17 yards. McFarland picked up four yards and Armand Baughman three. Sayers moved the ball to the six yard line giving KU a first down. The Jayhawkers ran three more plays before McFarland dived over from the two-yard line to score. Gary Duff kicked the extra point.
The Terriers rebounded quickly as they took the kick-off and moved the ball to the KU three-yard line before being stopped by a stout, KU goal-line defense.
AIDED BY a roughing the kicker penalty against KU, and passes of 11 and 12 yards by Dauhney, the Terriers had a first and ten on the KU eight yard line.
A fumbled handoff lost three yards for the Terriers. Daubney connected with Meadows who was forced out of bounds on the KU three by Pete Quatrochi. Another pass was incomplete and the Jay-hawkers took over.
With the exception of the Jayhawker scoring march in the first quarter, Boston dominated the opening half. The Terriers controlled the ball for 45 plays compared to KU's 18 and led statistically at halftime.
RUS SECOND SCORE was also the result of a defensive gem, Quatrochi recovered a Boston fumble on the Terrier 16-yard line. Fullback Ken Coleman led the touchdown drive carrying six of the seven plays and accounting for all of the yardage.
It took the Jayhawkers three plays to score from the one and one-half yard line, but Coleman scored diving over from the one. Duff again converted making the final score 14-0.
Sayers led in individual rushing carrying the ball 11 times for 73 yards. Coleman, who carried the ball only five times against Texas Christian, accounted for 60 yards in 17 carries. Charlie (Choo Cho) Meadows led the Terriers with 46 yards on nine carries.
Giants, LA Into Playoff
The National League pennant race is going down to the final wire. As-a-matter-of fact it is taking an extra two to three games to decide the champion.
Yesterday a eighth inning home run by Gene Oliver gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles sending the Dodgers into a playoff series with the San Francisco Giants who defeated Houston. 2-1.
The last National League playoff series was in 1951 between the same two clubs. However, their respective locations were New York and Brooklyn.
The first game of the playoff will be at San Francisco and will be televised by WDAF in Kansas City starting at 2 p.m.
Probable pitchers are Sandy Koufax (14-6) for the Dodgers and Bill Pierce (15-6) for the Giants.
The second and third games will be played in Los Angeles.

The Big Eight football conference after giving a good account of itself over the weekend—geared today for a pair of loop games Saturday, plus contests with three more non-conference opponents.
LAST SATURDAY'S BIGGEST surprise was Nebraska's 25-13 upset over Michigan of the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers, behind the bull-like rushes of All-America hopeful Bill (Thunder) Thornton, emerged from the Ann Arbor victory as a real contender for the Big Eight title.
This weekend's schedule has Colorado at Kansas and Iowa State at Nebraska in two Big Eight games, and Missouri hosts Arizona, Kansas State goes to Washington University, and Oklahoma State is on the road against Tulsa. Oklahoma has an open date.
The week before, Nebraska trounced South Dakota 53-0.
In another Big Eight-Big Ten encounter, Missouri and Minnesota battled to a 0-1 tie. Missouri, preseason favorite to cop the conference crown, was a slight underdog going into the game with the Rose Bowl champs.

IN TELEVISION'S GAME of the week Saturday, Oklahoma lost to Notre Dame 13-7 in an exciting, hard-fought clash at Norman. The Sooners, rated in the first division of the Big Eight, made two serious scoring threats late in the game.
Kansas made up for a sputtering offense Saturday with good defense when it counted to shutout a stubborn Boston University team 14-0 at Boston.
