few inches and gave the pigskin to the Orange. Syracuse ran three plays at the stingy KU defense and was forced to punt on a fourth and 23 situation. Skip James fielded the 40-yard boot by George Jakowenko and returned it to the 40 of the Orange. Riggins then went straight ahead for nine and again for five. Jessie went over left tackle for six, and Big John came back at the left guard picking up five more. Then following a fake to Riggins, Ettinger handed off to wingback Willie Amison on a scissor play around the right side that went for 16 yards and a 6-0 KU lead.
The Jayhawk running game of old was beginning to take form and moments later when Karl Salb pounced on an SU fumble at the Syracuse 23, Kansas fans jumped to their feet cheering wildly and thinking that this was more like it. Kansas bullied its way on three plays all the way down to the SU 5. Then Riggins grabbed the handoff, dove for the endzone and made it—only without the ball. Syracuse half back Duane Walker recovered the fumble and the scoring threat was over.
In the rest of the first half and throughout the third quarter neither team scored as the Jayhawk defense, led by Emery Hicks and Al Jakobic, cut off several Syracuse scoring drives. Then with 4:49 remaining to play and KU protecting a slim 6-0 lead Hicks came in from his middle linebacker position to bat a desperation pass thrown by the Orange quarterback Rich Panczysyn into the arms of cornerback Mears who returned the interception 56 yards for the clinching touchdown. Billy Bell split the uprights for the conversion and Jayhawk fans went home 13-0 winners.
The 100th anniversary of college football had been officially initiated at Kansas. One of the toughest teams on the '69 schedule had fallen. The Jayhawks had evened their record at 1-1 and gotten back on the winning track after a narrow defeat at the Orange Bowl and a drubbing by Texas Tech in the season's opener. Coach Pepper Rodgers said the defense got in the best licks he had seen by a KU team since he had been here, but many a Jayhawk fan was worried.
