BUFF BACKS—These members of the University of Colorado backfield, Leon Mavity (left).
Football Team Faces Colorado
Bill Harris and Bill Symons, will try to give KU trouble Saturday.
"I'd write an ode or say a prayer, but somehow my meter sticks, when I think of trying to stop Gale Sayers, with a team that's 2 and 6." writes Fred Casotti, sports publicity director of the University of Colorado.
KU IS FAVORED to win the game, but history indicates the Jayhawks may not win by a landslide. Since the teams have been together in the Big Eight, the Buffs have won five of seven games played at Boulder.
Even sports publicists are silenced by the potent running of Gale Sayers, KU's all-America half-back candidate who just happens to be leading the nation in rushing this week.
The Jayhawker football team meets Colorado at Boulder Saturday. The game will be broadcast by Tom Herdick on the KU Sports Network beginning at 2:30 p.m. Lawrence time.
Colorado edged KU, 20-19, in 1961 there. The last KU win in the mountains was a 35-34 squeaker in 1957.
Colorado lost to Missouri, 28-7 last Saturday. Three Buffers are on the doubtful list:

"I am not so sure their sophomore, Steven Renko, isn't the best quarterback in the league right now. He runs the option play extremely well. They present a lot of problems to the defense.
"Gale Sayers and Ken Coleman are, in my opinion," Franklin said, "the best outside-inside combination in the Big Eight. Sayers does things you have a hard time believing even when you see them.
"Kansas is a team which, even when it isn't playing consistently, can come up with the long gainer from Sayers or Renko to wreck

"Our interior line has played pretty darned well for us. Had our secondary defense been as tough as our interior line Saturday, we might have upset Missouri."
