Exciting Moments, But... TCU Defeats Jayhawkers
Sitting 12 stories above Amon Carter Field in a press box, Jack Mitchell, KU football coach, was discussing his team's season-opening performance for the benefit of radio listeners in Kansas and elsewhere.
"We had some outstanding moments, some of the most exciting we've had since we've been at Kansas. It's just a matter of putting those outstanding moments together. We didn't really play bad like some teams of the past," he said.
The Jayhawks indeed had some exciting moments. It's a shame such things don't assure victories.
TEXAS CHRISTIAN, combining a 1-yard touchdown run and a 23- yard field goal, won, 10-6.
Steve Renko, playing in his first collegiate game, contributed most of those exciting moments with a minute remaining in the first half.
After failing to complete one pass to Ron Oelschlager from the TCU 41-yard line, Renko completed three consecutive passes to Jay Roberts, Mike Johnson and Oelschlager.
With 18 seconds remaining, the Kansas City sophomore had the ball at the 4-yard line. After missing an attempt on second down from that point, he passed to Roberts in the end zone.
ROBERTS DROPPED the ball, but officials ruled pass interference. KU was given the ball on the 1-yard line. Ken Coleman gave KU its only score on a dive and Gary Duff's placement for the point after touchdown
failed. Only two seconds of playing time showed on the scoreboard.
The Frogs' touchdown came in the third quarter with 8:10 left. Tommy Joe Crutcher, the game's leading rusher, scored from the 1-yard line to end a 71-yard drive.
TCU added a field goal early in the next period. The Frogs had trouble moving the ball deep in KU territory and ran out of downs. Jimmy McAeeter made the 23-yard boot.
KU could have threatened late in the game, had it not been for a penalty. A 48-yard run by Gale Sayers was nullified by a clipping violation.
AS IT WAS, Sayers finished with 68 yard rushing in 12 carries. He caught three of Renko's eight successful passing attempts for 33 yards.
Most TCU players thought Sayers was an improved halfback.
"He runs as well as fast, Marvin Chipman, a halfback said.
There was also praise for Renko, who cooled off in the second half and ended with a 8-17 passing record for 88 vards.
"That quarterback will be a good one in time," Abe Martin, TCU coach, said.
Over in the KU dressing room, Mitchell said:
"Yes, I was happy about our throwing. We know we can throw now."
Mitchell called the Frogs the toughest TCU team KU has played since he's been head coach here. He
said he rated Syracuse, KU's opponent this Saturday, over TCU.
JAYHAWKS, BEWARE — Jim Nance, 221-pound junior fullback, led Syracuse in rushing last year. Syracuse, which defeated Boston College, 32-21 Saturday, will play KU in Memorial Stadium Saturday.
By United Press International The Big Eight Conference kicked off the 1963 football season in one of its most inauspicious starts. Only three teams recorded victories in the inaugural weekend of non-league action.
Defending champion Oklahoma overcame a ragged first half to defeat Clemson 31-14. Nebraska, rated No. 2 to Oklahoma in the Big Eight, humilized South Dakota State 58-7. Kansas State ended an 18-game losing streak with a 24-7 triumph over Brigham Young.
NEXT SATURDAY'S schedule offers no rest for the Big Eight. Another tough bunch of non-loop teams is on the schedule.
Wildcats Win Again; Buffs Surprise Foe
On the debit side, Missouri succumbed 23-12 to the aerial wizardry of Northwestern's Tom Myers. KU dropped a 10-6 decision to Texas Christian, California beat Iowa State 15-8, Arkansas shutout Oklahoma State 21-0, and defending national champion Southern California defeated a surprisingly stubborn Colorado team 14-0.
Oklahoma's Sooners will be on the road against Southern Cal., Nebraska will visit Minnesota of the Big Ten Missouri travels to Little Rock to meet Arkansas, and Kansas hosts Syracuse.
Colorado will be at Oregon State, Kansas State goes to San Jose State and Iowa State hosts Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Oklahoma State has an open date.
DESPITE THE 3-5 Big Eight record opening day, there were some reasons for jubilation in the conference. For instance, Colorado, which won only two games in 1962, was
supposed to field another weak team. Holding No.1 rated Southern Cal to a 14-0 decision indicates new Coach Eddie Crowder has done something for the Buffalooes.
