Frosh finish 3-1; OU hits big ones
Shot down by three big plays in a wild-scoring fourth quarter, the KU freshman suffered their only seasonal loss last night, a 50-26 drubbing by the Oklahoma frosh in the final game of the 1969 campaign played in Norman, Okla.
The Boomers (nickname for the OU freshman), were tied by the Junior Jays 20-20 late in the third quarter when Gary Adams picked off an OU pass and returned it 35 yards for the tying score. In the fourth quarter the Boomers wasted no time breaking the deadlock as Joe Wylie scored twice on runs from scrummage of 75 and 51 yards. Minutes later Cliff Hollinger took a screen pass and went another 75 yards for the TD. The score had balloned to 43-20 in just a few minutes time and the freshman had been victimized by the same game-breaking big play that has sent the Kansas varsity spinning to the cellar of the Big Eight.
KU completed their scoring midway through the final quarter on a 59-yard bomb from Rich Jones to split end Marvin Foster. Foster hauled in the ball on about the Boomer 20-yard line and the Kansas City Central flyer turned on the speed to score unmolested.
Twenty-six points had been chalked up by the two teams in only thirteen minutes, but with 2:38 remaining Boomer end Mark McGaughlin gathered in a pass and turned it into a 35-ward scoring play that finally capped off the victory.
Home-field success evident in Big Eight
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) The home-field advantage, long a definite factor in basketball, has become one in Big Eight football this fall.
In 19 conference games, the home team has won 15. Three of those losses were by last-place Kansas and one by seventh-place Iowa State.
Kansas State's Vince Gibson pointed to his team's loss at Oklahoma State last Saturday as a prime example. Kansas State had controlled the game until Herman Eben raced 85 yards with a pass to give Oklahoma State a 14-13 lead in the third quarter.
"After that, school was out," said Gibson. "The homecoming crowd went wild. I don't think anybody could have beaten Oklahoma State then."
"We're all human," said Kansas' Pepper Rodgers. "When you get 60,000 people into a stadium, they're all for the home team. But I don't think it's just this year. Playing at home always has been an advantage."
"I'd rather play every game at home," said Nebraska coach Bob Devaney.

season. But Devine has been at home the last two weeks. He changed his tune a bit yesterday with Missouri lacing two straight road games.
One theory advanced is that Big Eight teams are so evenly matched this season that the home crowd is just enough extra edge to decide the outcome.
The condition of center Dale Evans was the prime concern of Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers yesterday.
"That's why we have the greatest conference in America," said Gibson. "We have people all the way through it we can win on a given day." That's an old cliche, but it seems an accurate reflection of the Big Eight this season.
Rodgers also expressed concern about Oklahoma's ability to regroup. The Sooners lost to Missouri, 44-10 last week.
"We're slightly bruised up," said Rodgers. "I guess not more than usual, but it seems like it."
