Dickey notches loop honor with record job against OU
KANSAS CITY (UPI)—Lynn Dickey sat on the bench in front of his locker Saturday afternoon in Manhattan. A group of writers pressed him for details.
In the midst of the conversation, an elderly man stretched his hand over the writers. Dickey grasped it.
"Thank you, son," said the man.
"God bless you. I was in 1934 and I've been suffering ever since."
The man had reason to celebrate. Dickey and the Kansas State Wildcats had just throttled the University of Oklahoma by
the unbelievable score of 59-21. It was Kansas State's first victory over Oklahoma since 1934.
Dickey had a fabulous day. He completed 28 of 42 passes for 380 yards. The completions and yardage both set Big Eight conference records.
Overwhelming Choice
For his performance, Dickey was an overwhelming selection Monday as the Big Eight's Back of the Week. The 6-4 junior quarterback's statistics might have been greater if he hadn't watched the last 10 minutes of the game from the bench.
The records meant little to Dickey. "Records are only there to be broken," said the Osawatomi native. "But I guess it's nice to have 'em."
Kansas State coach Vince Gibson is pretty generous about using
the word "super." But Gibson topped himself when he described Dickey's game. "He's a super-super-super quarterback," said Gibson. "If he doesn't get national Back of the Week, there's something wrong. The polls are fixed."
Oklahoma's defense was able to get to Dickey only twice, a dishearning fact to Sooner coach Chuck Fairbanks.
Game "Not Bad"
"Our game plan was to rush the passer some and then lay off on certain plays," Fairbanks explained. "But K-State's passing attack is so well conceived, it's difficult to do one thing very successfully. Our game plan wasn't bad, but we just didn't execute."
Dickey had Oklahoma's secondary on the run all day. He threw touchdown passes of 28, 15 and 26 yards. Prior to Saturday, the most points an Oklahoma team had ever yielded was 47 to Oklahoma A&M in 1945.
Dickey's big game raised his
percentage to 57.5 for

MIDDLESBORO, Ky. (UPI)—Fern Lake, built by the first British developers of this southeastern Kentucky town of 14,000, is the source of one of the purest water supply systems in the nation.
The lake was built just beyond the city in the mountains. Commercialization of the three-mule wooded lake-site is strictly forbidden. Boats are not allowed in the water unless they have electric, rather than gasoline motors. Some fishing is done.
Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers asserted yesterday his football team is going "to make something out of this season yet."
