Jayhawk Offense Stalls; O-State Defeats KU 19-7

STILLWATER, Okla. - Kansan saw too much of Graham Turbin's team. His Duck O'Shaughnessy was one of the two who scored OSU's two touchdowns while leading the Cowboys to a 19-7 Big Eight victory.
Graham thrilled the 35,000 plant fans who he scored on his one a 84-pass from place to place in the game. The game Grainham turned an end sweep into a 47-yard touchdown putting the game out of reach.
Oklahoma State led the entire game, scoring first on a safety. Cyclone left end Don Geier tackled KU quarterback Dan Heck in the second period but not OSU.

For the second week in a row, KU failed to demonstrate any offense power. The Jahyhaws rushing attack was held to 132 yards by a tough OSU defensive front line. The OSU defense didn't give up a first down until 10:13 left in the first half.

Graham, KU Mistakes Lead to Loss

The KU dressing room was indeed bleak. Not much was said among players and what was said was spoken in a near monotone. Some stripped off their uniforms quickly while others just sat on the floor or benches to watch the performance that took them to their third defense.

But all in all it was a fellow by the name of
Dick Graham that spelled the KU defeat. The "Do-everything" Oklahoma State flanker did nothing more than catch three passes for 73 yards and return three routs to yards and return three routs for 19 yards.
"The game was pretty even except for rattatum," Rodgers said. "They played real hard."
For the second straight week the supposedly explosive KU offense failed to produce. But unlike some fans that wished to place the blame on a seemingly-lackluster offensive effort by KU Rodgers praised the Oklahoma State defense as the determining factor. But in the final analysis Pepper concurred that offensive mistakes were critical.
Jayhawk's attack on a third quarter drive that covered 9 yards before coming to an end on the OSU 90-34 line when he fumbled a pass gain that would have given KU a first down.
The Jayhawks could never sustain a drive afterwards and left the field with their second hit.
"Conley's fumble was the biggest play that hurts us," Rodgers said. The hard- running hallback, who has been KU's leading rusher in two of the last three outings, led the

Loss Puts Season Into Perspective

It was a tough one. For the second straight week KU was unable to get its offense in gear while the defense played heroically. The difference between this week and last was the caliber of the opposing team, from the Bluebellens and Gator Bowl unfortunately witnessed it.
While the Jayhawks' performance was similar to last week's, the Oklahoma State Cowboys were not as generous as Iowa State which gave up five fumbles and four pass interceptions. The result was a 15-6 victory and fourth place tie with Missouri (which also by led the way).
While it was a day and day for KU fans, particularly the minute KU following in Stillwater, the game might have put this KU football team on the map.
Sincerely KU has been the surprise of the conference. No preface foremost painted the Jayhawks' picture as bright as it has been.
And while that "Kansas Will Be Back" motto had such an appeal to many of us, it simply was that realistic our hopes and priorities.
One Wichita sports writer who is always assigned to cover KU athletic teams echoed this when he similarly and partially joinklayed in to a Gator Bowel scout at the game's conclusion. "Well, I guess the Gator Bowel is Jacksonville (Florida where the Gator Bowel is annually held.)"
The scout replied, "Yes, this is a tough one to lose, but maybe you'll come back and win the last three."
It is in the last three games that the real KU challenge less. Winning only one will let the Juhayhs escape keeping the season in perspective by avoiding a losing season. Winning two would give KU 7-4 and 4-3 records, far exceeding anyone's predictions.
On the other hand this may be the beginning of the end. The same Wichita sports writer philosophically said he could see how the Oklahoma State defeat could sent the Hawks reeling off on their way to a 4-6 record. Admittedly the prospects of playing Colorado (in Boulder yet!), Oklahoma and Missouri are not bright and it could happen.
But at the same time you can't count KU out. Surprise and out of perspective as the Jawhikhs may have been going into Satur-
mur's quietly and determination the team has possessed is not likely to go out the window because of a loss that should never have happened.

Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers said the game "was even except for Graham" and Oklahoma State coach Floyd Gay added, with tremendous balance and knack how to run to daylight.
After Colorado pulled close at 15-13, Kinnick took the ensuing kickoff and scampered 76 yards to the Buffalo's 21, setting up his touchdown run six plays later. The last TD on a 7-air run.
