Kansas Stops K-State After First Half Thriller
By BOB LONGSTAFF Kansan Sports Editor
Memorial Stadium, Manhattan—After battling an enraged Kansas Wildcat eleven to a 6-6 halftime deadlock, the Kansas Jayhawkers surged back with a three touchdown third quarter to defeat K-State 26-6 here Saturday.
Kansas opened the scoring early in the game by taking the opening kickoff on the 20-yard line—after it had bounded out of the endzone—and marching 80 yards for the touchdown.
It took the Jayhawkers 18 plays to reach the end zone with most of the gains being in the five to seven yard range. All four Kansas backs—Robertson, Bob Brandeberry, Claire Hoag and Frank Satinati—helped in the running department. Brandeberry bulled over from the 1-foot line for the score. Hoag missed the conversion to give the Jayhawkers an early one touch-down lead.
The march was confined mostly to ground play with only one pass being attempted—a Jerry Robertson to Paul Leoni completion good for seven yards.
The Wildcats—playing above their heads—roared back on the return kickoff to drive to the Kansas 11-yard line. There the offense bogged down, and Kansas took over.
However, two plays later, Kansas fumbled, and the Wildcats recovered on the KU 19-yard line. This time Kansas State was not to be denied the six points, and Dick Towers dived over from the 1-yard line for the score. Merlin Gish, Jayhawker linebacker, rushed in to block the attempted conversion and tie the score.
Throughout the remainder of the first half, an estimated 16,500 fans saw the teams see-saw up and down the field in humid 75-degree temperature. Scoring threats for each team were stopped by fumble.
Kansas drove from its 29-yard line to the Kansas State 4-yard line before a fumble stopped them. The gain was made mostly on Hoag to Leoni and Robertson to Hoag passes. The Wildcats recovered the fumble.
After an exchange of kicks, Kansas began another touchdown-bound drive. However a Robertson pass bounded out of Jerry Taylor's hands and was gathered up by Bob

However, the Wildcats could not capitalize on the interception. Dick Towers bulled his way to the 2-yard line. On the second play of the sequence, Gil Reich gathered in a Wildcat bobble, and KU took over on the 2.
Kansas opened up in the third quarter, and led by quarterback Gil Reich, scored three quick touchdowns to show the Wildcats that the Jayhawkers deserved ninth place ranking in the AP poll.
Reich took charge in the second half and led the Jayhawkers to their victory. He passed to Leoni in the endzone for the second Kansas marker and then repeated the performance a few minutes later for another TD. Hoag made the conversion the first time, but his second attempt was blocked. Reich made the final score on a keepit play from the 1. Don Hess's con-

version was good.
Outstanding for the Jayhawkers were Bud Bixler, sophomore guard, and Duane Unruh, senior end. They figured heavily in the KU defense. Also playing heads up defensive ball were Merlin Gish and Hal Cleavinger.
For the Wildcats, the defensive stars were Gerald Cashman, Ron Clair, Tom O'Boyle and Earl Meyer.

Kansas made no serious threat in either the third or fourth quarters as the Tigers controlled the ball most of the time.
MU Freshmen Defeat Junior Jayhawks 26-7
A previous Missouri drive that failed actually set up the last touchdown. The Tigers moved by land and by air from their own 38 to the Kansas 28. Three downs netted them no yardage and on fourth down, halfback Bob Hoesing punted out of bounds on the Javahawk 2.
The Tigers scored first in the first quarter on a 45-yard pass from quarterback Harley Lobo to end Dick Fouts, but missed their extra point.
Kansas made only six yards in three tries and John Handley
Missouri's freshman Tigers scored three times in the second half against the junior Jayhawkers Friday in Memorial stadium to win handily 26-7.
Kansas went all the way in its drive with halfback Spencer Carter springing loose from the 7 for the TD, but the play was nullified and three plays later, Tony Karakas intercepted an Al Jaso pass on the MU 5-yard line and returned it to the KU 45-yard line.
Both teams again exchanged long drives that fizzled out when pay dirt was near, and the half ended with Kansas leading.
The Jayhawkers second scoring effort paid off in a touchdown. It was set up on a pass from Jaso to Carter that covered 46 yards to the MU 1 and from where Carter went over for the score on the next play. John Handley's placement gave Kansas a 7-6 lead.
The Tigers left little doubt about who was going to win as they took the second half kickoff and scored in 11 plays with Bob Musgrave sneaking across from the 1. They made the point for a 13-6 lead and four minutes later scored again on another Lobo toss, this one to end Harold Burnine.
Following the Missouri touchdown, the Jayhawkers and Tigers exchanged drives that carried deep into each other's territory as the first quarter ended and the second quarter started.
For good measure, Missouri added a fourth score late in the last quarter with Musgrave skipping over from the 5 for his second TD.

Santee Leads KU To 21st Victory

With Wes Santee turning in his fastest time of the season, the Kansas three-mile cross country track team won its 21st straight victory Friday beating Missouri 11-28 (low score wins) in Columbia.

Hoag Establishes New Pass Catching Mark
Charlie Hoag, KU's career rushing record holder at 1,894 yards, broke another school record in the Kansas State game.
A Jerry Robertson pass to Hoag in the third quarter covering 422 yards gave him a season total of 380 yards in receptions and broke Otto Schnellbacher's old single-season record of 366 set in 1942.
