Unbeaten frosh collide tonight
By BRUCE CARNAHAN Kansan Staff Writer
Remember 1968, when the KU varsity was battling for a conference championship and a bowl berth while the KU freshmen were fighting hard for their first victory?
Pepper Rodgers' varsity came through with a share of the league title and represented the
Big Eight well in the Orange Bowl, but Dick Tomey's fresh stumbled through an 0-4 season.
This year Rodgers and Tomey find their roles reversed.
The varsity, now 1-7 for the year, instead of being nationally ranked and fighting for the league crown is just hoping for a victory or two so that they can escape the Big Eight cellar.
McVea spurs Chiefs
KANSAS CITY (UPI)—Warren McVea broke open a rugged defensive struggle with a 50-yard scoring pass and a two-yard run for a touchdown Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs retained their lead in the American Football League's Western Division with a 27-3 victory over the San Diego Chargers.
MeVea, obtained in a trade with Cincinnati before the season began, tossed a left-handed strike to Frank Pitts, who was all alone
behind the Chargers' secondary. Pitts' touchdown came with 1:32 to play in the third quarter and gave the Chiefs some breathing room at 20-3.
McVea added another touchdown on the end of a 31-yard drive after Willie Lanier intercepted a Marty Domres' pass. Big play was a 21-yard pass from Len Dawson to Pitts. From the 10, McVea swept end to the two, then scored on the next play.

George McGowan on 3rd-and-14,
moving KU to the 11. Basler swept three yards on a suspense-
ful 4th-and-2, and on the next play, wedged one yard into the endzone for a 14-10 margin at 5:46.
The Buffs, after a punt exchange, struck quickly for the winning TD. Jim Cooch's interception, the third suffered by
KU squad best again

Nebraska's Pete Brang led the race, moving ahead in the 54-man chase after the first half-mile. McGuire and Brang, both under Trujillo's former record, finished second and third respectively.
The Jayhawks travel Saturday to Carbondale, Ill., for the Central Collegiate championships and a five-mile test.
Basler, killed the Jayhawks' last-gasp effort.
Kansas defenders limited the highly-touted Anderson to a scant 26 yards rushing in the first half, and the Jayhawks forged a 221-187 rushing advantage for the game. Anderson finished with 85 yards on 21 carries, just ahead of KU fullback John Riggins-82 yards on 16 assignments.
But KU suffered with its passing game, or lack of it. Basler completed 4 of 20 aerials for 83 yards while Arendt connected on 9 of 18 for 165 yards. Colorado held a 352-304 total offense edge.
Basler's passing misfortunes, and three missed field goals by Bell—two of those within his range—soured the day for the Javahaws.

The setback gave the Jayhawks a woefully good chance at reversing its 9-1 record of the 1968 Orange Bowl entry. Oklahoma and Missouri remain on the schedule, the latter opponent leading the conference (5-1) and journeying to Lawrence Nov. 22 in the season finale.
Nevada, driest state in the nation has an average annual rainfall of 8.81 inches.
Coach Tomey's powerful freshman team, after rolling over K-State, Missouri and Oklahoma State in succession, will venture to Norman today to try and stop an unbeaten Oklahoma freshman team and end the year with a perfect 4-0 record. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Tomey, after starting a different quarterback in each of the Jayhawks' three victories, has settled with Bob Bruegging as his starting signal-caller for the Oklahoma game. Bruegging, 6-3 and 185 pounds, passed KU to a 30-20 victory over Missouri in his first starting role. Last week, while backing up Marvin Foster, Bruegging fired a 16-yard touchdown strike to tight end John Schroll.
Foster, who started at quarterback last week against Oklahoma State, will return to his split end position this week.
Joining Bruegging in KU's potent backfield will be tailback Tom Woods, the team's leading rusher; wingback Mike Cerne, and hopefully fullback Jerome Nelloms, who suffered a shoulder injury in practice this week. If Nelloms is unable to start, Tomey will probably shift the hard-running Woods to fullback and move
KU's defense, which has been outstanding all year and was especially good in shutting out Oklahoma State in the second half, is again anchored by linebacker Don Perkins and tackles Andy Sibbernsen and Gery Palmer.
Jerry Evans, the team's punter,
to the tailback slot.
Oklahoma (2-0) nudged Tulsa, 28-24, and then trounced Texas Tech, 50-14.
Last year, under quarterback Jack Mildren, Oklahoma's frosh humiliated KU, 55-20.
Two powerful backs head this year's talented Oklahoma squad. Joe Wylie, a wingback from Henderson, Tex., and one of the nation's most sought after prep stars in 1688, was very impressive in OU's two wins. Wylie and fullback A. J. Perryman are the nucleus of OU's crushing ground game.
