KU Runners, Football Teams Victorious
By Roy Miller (Sports Editor)
Gale Sayers is the greatest ball carrier in KU's football history.
That became fact Saturday when Sayers gained 71 yards in 12 carries, bringing his rushing total for two seasons to 1,974. No other Jay-hawker has rushed as many yards. Charlie Hoag's career output was 1,914, the all-time high for KU until Saturday.
But, the Omaha, Neb., halfback, a candidate for all-America honors, wasn't the game's leading rusher when KU defeated Colorado, 43-14. That honor went to Armand Baughman who made 92 yards in 23 carries.
THE SCORE OF Saturday's game at Boulder represented the highest point production by either team in the KU-Colorado series. It was KU's first football victory at Boulder since 1957.
In other weekend sports action, the KU cross country team took the team title in the Central Collegiate meet at Chicago Friday morning and KU's freshman football team defeated Missouri, 19-9, Friday afternoon at Columbia.
"Our offense was almost perfect today." Coach Jack Mitchell said after his football victory. "The holes were really there today. Our line was really out-charging Colorado.
"They seemed to be set-up to stop Sayers' outside stuff and left the middle vulnerable. It was obvious that Colorado was set to stop Sayers so we hit up the middle.
"WE DIDN'T MAKE any offensive mistakes today. The weather certainly wasn't conducive to good ball handling, but our exchanges were almost perfect."
Steve Renko, sophomore quarterback, figured in on three of KU's touchdowns. Renko scored twice himself on 1- and 2-yard runs.
"This was the first ball that had been thrown to me all year," Fairchild said after the game. "I was open so soon that I was surprised.
When I saw Steve rolling out I knew we'd have a touchdown if he threw it.
"But after playing center all these years, I had a little trouble getting a hold of the ball. I had it for a second then must have squeezed it too hard because it sort of oozed out of my grip before I grabbed it again."
OTHER KU TOUCHDOWNS were scored by Ron Oelschlager, Sid Micek and Baughman.
KU won the CCC cross country meet with 39 points at the four-mile Washington Park course in Chicago. Notre Dame placed second in team standings with 59 points. Ohio University, defending champion, was third with 72 points.
KU's Paul Acevedo finished fourth, Herald Hadley was eighth; John Lawson, ninth; John Donner, 10th, and Tonnie Coane, 12th.
After having an unbeaten dual meet season and capturing the Big Eight Conference cross country crown, the Jayhawks will be considered as contenders for the NCAA championship at East Lansing, Mich., next Monday.
SAN JOSE STATE, last year's winner, is expected to be tough again this year in the NCAA meet.
In freshman football play, the last of the season, KU converted one of four recovered fumbles into a victory over the Tiger frosh.
KU's halfbacks, Gary Dahlin and J. C. Hixson, and fullback J Pilch
Welcome Back, Wildcats!

Weaver described the return from Ames, Iowa, Saturday night as a "joyous homecoming." He said an estimated 2,000 Kansas State fans met the team at the airport.
Coach Doug Weaver finally has won a Big Eight football game, but he isn't forgetting that his Kansas State Wildcats have another game to play.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma Sooners, who remain unbeaten in Big Eight Conference football play only by the skin of their teeth, collide Saturday for the championship.
The Wildcats, after losing 26 consecutive conference games, upset 22-point favorite Iowa State 21-10 Saturday.
In games last weekend, Nebraska edged the surprising Oklahoma State Cowboys 20-16, and Oklahoma was extended before downing Missouri 13-3.
The Husker-Sooner clash at Lincoln, Neb., probably will determine two bowl contestants. The winner will go to the Orange Bowl, and the loser is expected to get a Bluebonnet Bowl bid.
In the other league game Saturday, Kansas rolled over Colorado 43-14. Colorado, 2-5 in the Big Eight, now has completed its conference season. The Buffaloes visit Air Force this Saturday in their 1963 finale.
Also on tap this weekend is the 72nd renewal of the traditional Kansas-Missouri rivalry. Missouri leads in the series, 32-30-9.

"EVERYTHING GOES-WE NEED ROOM"
we took a calculated gamble and it didn't work." Coach Eddie Crowder of Colorado said after his team's loss. "We knew we had to stop Sayers on the sweeps and we did a pretty good job of it except for one play in the third quarter when he broke loose over tackle.
"They handled the ball extremely well, too. We didn't and the fumbles continued to make life miserable for us. That Renko is certainly a fine sophomore who has a great future ahead of him. I thought the Kansas line played excellently, too."
"But we had to weaken our interior alignment and their fine full-backs, Baughman and (Ken) Coleman ruined us.
Bulletin
