Jays Break 2 Ties, Beat Buffs 27-21 Sikes Credits Every Player, Says Hawks in Better Shape
Bv ED HOWARD
Kansan Assistant Sports Writer
Showing a tremendous will to win, Kansas came from a pair of ties to score in the last quarter and win over Colorado, 27-21 Saturday.
It was the first time in the last five years of the series that either team has traveled to its opponent's home field and come home with a victory.
Coach Jules Sikes was extremely proud of the game, because it was a great moral victory, and lifted the markers to a 2-2 mark for the season.
Sikes was quick to give every player credit for the win, saying that the main factors in the victory were the team's spirit, courage, and condition. Sikes said his team was in better condition at the end of the game than were the Colorado players, which is unusual because the Buffs are used to playing in the rarefied atmosphere.
Sophomore halfback Ralph Moody was Kansas' big gun, scoring two touchdowns and running for 100 yards in 17 carries. He was followed closely by left-halfback Don Hess, who took the ball on the opening Kansas play of the game and traveled 66 yards to score.
Sikes refused to name any player as a standout. Instead, he said that everybody did a great job. "There is a great team spirit to this gang, and it's a tremendous factor," he said.
Hess was carried from the field just after the start of the second half, after suffering a knee injury on the kickoff. It is not known whether he will be readied for Saturday's game. Older Norman. Sikes said the extent of the injury will not be known until the middle of the week.
After Hess' TD run and conversion in the first quarter, Colorado, perhaps stunned by the explosiveness of the run, could not get an attack going and punted to the Kansas 45-yard line.
Fullback Frank Sabatini picked up three yards to the 48, and Moody roared to the Buff 39-yard marker. Sabatini picked up 10 yards on two tries, and five plays later the Jay-hawkers were on the 10-yard line, where Moody took a pitchout around end for the score. Hess kicked the extra point to make the score 14-0 in the first quarter.
Colorado took the ensuing kick-off and four plays later were stranded on the Kansas 44-yard line. The Buffs punt was returned to the 29, where fullback John Anderson fumbled on the first play.
Colorado recovered and sophomore fullback Emerson Wilson, former Wyandotte High school star, scored after five plays to make the score 14-7.
After nine minutes of the second quarter, the Buffs struck again in lightning fashion. A 53-yard punt by Moody was parlayed into an 88-yard return by Colorado's Ron Johnson for a touchdown. Johnson belted out but he peeled it, picked it up, and was off on his scoring jount. Don Piper booted the extra point to make the score 14-all at the half.
Both teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, Kansas taking the kick-off directly down the field for seven points. Sophomore Bob Conn, substituting for the injured Hess, played a leading role in the score, picking up two desperately needed gains in the 83-yard drive.
With the ball on the Colorado 44, nine plays after the drive started. Moody took a pitchout to the 12, but the play was called back to the 36-vard line by a clipping penalty.
The Jayhawkers were determined, though, and in eight plays they scored, sophomore quarterback John McFarland sneaking over from the 1-yard line. Sophomore John Handey kicked the point.
Just six plays later Colorado again tied the score at 21-21 on a 27-yard pass from Bill Horton to Gary Knailc.
The ragged fourth quarter began with Colorado on its own 30-yard line. Wilson got off on a 39-yard jaunt to the KU 31. Shortly after, a completed pass put the Bucks just a yard away from a first-and-ten-on defense. The defending son tried to make the yard but was thrown for a loss yard by Joe Lundy, Kansas left tackle, and the Jay-hawkers took over on downs.
A Kansas fumble on the first play was recovered by Colorado on the 23. After a pass was completed to Piper on the 20 and two passes were incomplete, a third was intercepted by Kansas' iron-man center Merle Hodges, who ran the ball back to the 30.
