Don Dambrough, KU's offensive tackle and tight end coach knows his football—especially KU style. A co-captain of Kansas' 1947 Orange Bowl] squad, Fambrough loves to talk about football. "It's a big week for us," he said before sitting down for the interview. "Maybe the biggest ever." Regarded as one of the finest linemen in Jayhawk history, Fambrough was a two-time all-league guard. He was an outstanding place-kicker and held the school record for extra points until last fall, when Billy Bell kicked 47 of 55.
Fambrough, who enjoys golf and fishing, graduated from KU

Penn State dropped from 3rd to 5th after escaping with a hard-fought, 17-14 victory over K-State. Idle Oklahoma dropped from 5th to 6th. The Sooners face Texas this weekend in what is shaping up to be the game of the week.
Moving into the top ten for the first time, Purdue is in a tie for 10th with Florida. The Boilermakers have run off two impressive wins in a row: last week they beat highly regarded Stanford 36-35, and the week before stopped Notre Dame 28-14.

"We've had a lot of great lines at KU," Fambrough said, "but if I had to choose a truly outstanding group of men it would be last year's line from end to end."
Other than when he played for KU, Fambrough said that his most gratifying year was in 1968. "You have to consider what we started out with," he said. "We came from a 2-7-1 season in 1966 to a 9-2 season last year. When any coach can bring a team from a 2-7-1 season to a spot in the Orange Bowl, that has to be exciting."
"This credit goes to Coach Rodgers," Fambrough said. "He's
The New Mexico game was just one of those things that happen, Fambrough said. He compared the game to a 1947 match when Tulsa University trounced KU 46-6. "Tulsa had a bad team that year. They must have had, because we won the championship that year," he said.
Commenting on this years football squad, Fambrough said that the team has worked as hard, if not harder, than last year's team. The trouble, he explained, was that during the early games the team was plagued with a lack of depth. "Too many of the guys had to play the whole game, whereas our opponents had enough depth to play some fresh men."
not only a great coach, but he's a tremendous person to work under. He gives you the responsibility for your area, and it's your baby."
Football is becoming more complex, Fambrough said. A team can't just go through the motions and win. "Nobody plays anybody that they can take for granted anymore."
Looking ahead to this week's game with K-State, Fambrough mentioned that the two teams are comparable in experience and size, although size won't be a major factor in the game.
"Football is basically just a run, pass and tackle game," Fambrough added. "The success of any team depends on three things: how you execute, how you perform, and who you have performing."
Fambrough, 46, is married to the former Del Few, a Lawrence High School English teacher. They have two sons, Preston, 23, a KU graduate who is currently in the Navy, and Bob, 21, a senior at KU.

The association said that "head linesman Lou Girrens was assaulted by several squad members, all dressed in Sumner football uniforms, as he was going to the officials' dressing room following the game with Bishop Carroll High School. Girrens was hospitalized with numerous bruises on his head and body."

the order affected Sumner's junior varsity and sophomore football programs. However, other sports were not involved.
Coach for the KU teams is Capt. G. Gary Vernon, military instructor.
The action by the state association followed a meeting in Wichita Tuesday night attended by representatives from the two schools, game officials, the security office of the Wichita police department and officials of the association.
The announcement by the association said teams scheduled to play Summer were to regard the game as a forfeit.
Dr. O. L. Plucker, superintendent of schools in Kansas City, Kan., issued a statement saying that because of the rules of the state association, "we have no recourse but to abide by the decision."
