Preston Leads KU Past Aggies,12-7
The victory-hungry Kansas Jayhawkers, spearheaded by reserve quarterback Dave Preston, unreeled an impressive offensive and defensive machine Saturday to defeat the Oklahoma A & M Cowboys.12 to 7.
Kansas took the field against the Cowpokes with only one thought in mind—to leave the field victorious. The Hawks, shamed by their 46 to 0 defeat by K-State a week ago, needed Saturday's win to gain the good grace of KU fans.
Losing Streak Ended
A small gathering of 16,000 fans watched the unheralded Preston, who had played only 30 minutes all season, take leadership of the Jayhawkers in the second half and spark an 80-yard drive that ended Kansas' six-game winless streak.
The win was KU's second of the season. It beat Washington State, 13 to 0, in the second game of the season and added a 7 to 7 tie against Iowa State a few games later. It was the seventh defeat for the Cowboys. They have won one, a 14 to 7 victory over Tulsa.
The victory gave Kansas a 10-4 edge for the series between the two schools.
Preston started Kansas' winning drive when he picked up 13 yards on a keeper, and then passed to halfback John Francisco who ran the ball to the A&M 33. Kansas used short gains to put the ball on the two-yard line, Preston scoring three plays later.
Francisco Runs 53 Yards
Francisco Runs 53 Yards KU opened the scoring in the first quarter when Francisco put on a superb show of open field running with a 53 yard gallop into the end zone. Francisco's run featured several key blocks by Kansas interference. John Handley's attempted kick for the extra point went wide.
In the middle of the third quarter KU's offensive attack bogged down with John Handley's 24-yard field goal attempt falling short.
The Cowpokes came back with only three minutes left in the first half to score after a 79-yard march. Fullback Earl Lunsford scored from the one-yard line. A&M guard Louie Flores made the extra point and the Cowboys took a 7 to 6 halftime lead.
On KU's second play from scrimmage in the game, Dick Blowey took a pitchout around left end and ran eighty-two yards for a touchdown, but it was called back to the KU 41 where Blowey stepped out of bounds.
A&M Threatens Late
Kansas nine-yard line, and Ralph Moody intercepted a Cowboy pass deep in Kansas territory with only one minute left in the game.
Preston, who went all the way in the second half and was exceptional on defense, as well as offense, completed three of four pass attempts.
The Aggies had two shots at a game-winning score later in the game, but a good stop by Blowey halted the first attempt on the
"We realized Dave's ability early in the season but he had the misfortune of being hampered by injuries and we thought he needed seasoning," said Coach Chuck Mather after the game.
Besides being the best offensive game of the season for the Hawks, Mather regarded the game as the best tackling KU players have shown all season.
Center Galen Wahlmeier, tackles Gene Blasi and Frank Gibson all went the entire sixty minutes. Ends Lynn McCarthy and Jim Letcavits, guard George Remberg and halfback John Francisco played all but a few minutes.
