Cyclones Drop KU To Put Hawks 0-4
By KEITH McCORD
A Kansan Staff Member
Ames, Iowa—Kansas gridiron prowess plunged into a five-year low here Saturday as the Jayhawks dropped the traditional "easy one" to the Iowa State Cyclones by a score of 33-6 played before 10,000 fans.
"Miserable" was pernaps the key word of the afternoon for, in spite of the fact that KU drew first blood with Ralph Moody's 64-yard dash in the first period. Iowa State's weak but "adequate for the occasion" attack drove the Jayhawks into the depths of the Big Seven cellar for its first victory over Kansas since 1949 and its first conference victory of the season. The Jayhawks played precisely the type of football which has characterized their 10 losses in a row since slipping by Colorado last Oct. 10—poor tackling, blocking, running, and passing—a combination not usually desired by a winning team.
The Cyclones breezed their way through the Jayhawker line for 311 yards, while KU amassed a "staggering" total of 87 on the ground and all of these in the first half and a minus one-yard rushing during the last two periods.
Sixty-four were gained on one play-Moody's stunning flight up the east sideline. Taking the ball on his own 36 off the double reverse, Moody stayed behind a wall of KU blockers and streaked straight down the sideline for a touchdown with only one hand laid on him. This was the hand of Gary Lutz, speedy Cyclone halfback, who almost overhauled Moody with a desperation dive on the four-yard line.
Instead of a beginning, however, the early lead seemed more of a conclusion to the Jayhawkers, who, after displaying a feasible and fairly effective attack up to that point, bowed politely and proceeded to allow Cyclone backs Max Burkett, Bruce Alexander, and Kim Tidd to gain at will.
Ray Tweeten's coverage of a Ted Rhode fumble on KU's 30 set up State's first touchdown. John Breckenridge, sophomore quarterback, and Lutz ripped down to the Kansas 17 as the first period ran out, then scored on the second play of the next quarter when Breckenridge passed 10 yards to end Harold Potts in the end zone. Guard Dick Callahan added the extra point and the Cyclones were on tops for keeps.
A blocked punt of Rohde's gave Iowa State its second chance from the Kansas 34, and the Cyclones were home in five plays. Hank Philmon, hard running substitute half-back, cut off left tackle from the six for the score. Jack Kruger failed to convert, but the Cyclones romped off the field at half time with a 13-6 edge.
The opening of the second half saw the Jayhawkers at their nonetoo-rare worst, in spite of a gallant drive to the State 14 right after the kickoff. Here the alert Elmer May covered Bud Laughlin's fumble and Iowa State was off to the races.
The Cyclones had to punt, but Kansas waited 'till fourth down to punt back. This proved fatal as an arching pass from center sailed high over Rohde's head and it was the Cyclone's ball on the KU 49.
Ten plays did it, with Breckenridge sneaking the final foot with 33 seconds of the final period elapsed.
Callahan's place kick made it 20-6, and the Jayhawkers got desperate. Buller passed successfully once from a surprise spread, but the second time he threw, the ball settled in Burkett's hands on the Kansas 45. From there, last year's all conference fullback, Burkett drove down to the five ripping off gains of 16 and 13 yards. After Alexander got two, Donn Overmeyer跑 around right end for the fourth Iowa State touchdown. Alexander's conversion brought it to 27-6.
Lorenzen took no pity on the hapless Jayhawkers, however, and added insult to injury a couple of minutes later when he snagged a

The hard working Burkett, who had played every minute of the contest thus far, delayed his departure from the game long enough to swing around right end for the final score of an afternoon that was as dark for Kansas as was the gray, overcast over the field.
Rohde pass on the KU 37 and rambled to the nine.
For the first time since State's first-game victory over South Dakota State, the Cyclone coaches had a chance to clear the bench. But even the subs drove relentlessly down to the Kansas five-yard stripe before be stopped by the final gun.

Nation's Top Gridders Stagger Past Weekend
College football's top ranked teams came staggering today out of a weekend of near-disaster only to find they're running into a lot more trouble just ahead.
By UNITED PRESS
Although Iowa and Southern California were the only clubs ranked among the country's top 10 to be upset, the weekend just finished was only an eyelash away from being a debacle for the big teams. Only three of them won easily—three others just barely won and two more. Purdue and Duke, played a 13-13 tie in perhaps the too game.
top game.
For example, national leader Oklahoma fumbled six times and just managed to nip Texas, 14-7. Second-ranked UCLA was only an extra point better than Washington, 21-20. And fourth-ranked Wisconsin, watched by a national television audience, needed Alan Ameche's touchdown with 50 seconds left to turn almost certain defeat into a 13-7 win over Rice.
Fifth-ranked Iowa bowed, 14-13, to Michigan, a rival it has not beaten in 30 years. And Southern California, playing under the Friday night lights, was walloped, 20-7, by Texas Christian.
To begin with, four of the top 10 are matched against each other with Purdue facing Wisconsin and Iowa meeting 10th-ranking Ohio State. Duke has to come right back against a fired-up Army team that showed its true calibre by crushing Dartmouth, 60-6. UCLA must face a Stanford team that will be burning to avenge at 25-0 beating by Navy.
But look at the schedule lying in wait for the big teams this weekend—it almost guarantees upsets.
Ninth-ranked Notre Dame, after bounding back from its Purdue defeat to swamp Pittsburgh, 33-0, must clash with dangerous though twice-beaten Michigan State. Southern California goes against Oregon and seventh-ranked Mississippi against Tulane.
Oklahoma, however, is expected to have an easier time against Kansas in the opening game of its Big Seven schedule. In fact, the Soomers already have met the toughest teams on their schedule and will be favored heavily in each game here
out as they gun for an unbeaten season.
Among the weekend's top heroes were:
Wisconsin's Ameene, who averaged 4.3 yards per try as he scored both of the Badgers' touchdowns, including the plunge from the one-foot line for the winner in the final minute; Dean Loucks of Yale, whose one- yard, fourth- period plunge meant a 13-7 win over Columbia; sub quarterback Tom Carey, who pitched two TD passes in Notre Dame's win over Pitt; Pete Vann, who threw three touchdown passes in Army's win over Dartmouth; Charley Boxold of Maryland, whose 66-yard run set up the TD that created a 13-13 tie with Wake Forest; Matt Botsford of Harvard, who ran to both Crimson touchdowns in a 13-12 upset of Cornell; Royce Flippen, whose fourth quarter TD gave Princeton an 13-7 revenge win over Penn; Lenny Moore and Ron Younker, who ran 55 and 80 yards for touchdowns as Penn State routed Virginia, 34-7; Billy Teas, who ran 77 yards for a TD and gained 51 more in five more tries as Georgia Tech downed Louisiana State, 30-20; Tom Tracy of Tennessee, who raced 73 yards in the fourth period for a tie-breaking TD that beat Chattanooga, 20-14; Bob McNamara scored two touchdowns in Minnesota's 26-7 victory over Northwestern; Preston Carpenter, whose fourth-period field goal gave Arkansas a 21-20 upset of Baylor and the only unbeaten record in the Southwest conference, and Bobby Watkins, who scored two TDs to pace Ohio State in a 40-7 rout of Illinois.
