pant and an intercepted pass into
a turnover in the second period in
a 24-10 Bight Eight football victory over
the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday before 37,750

The powerful Jayhawk offense was stymied for three and one half periods by costly penalties and a strong Cyclone defense. Finally, with a big assist from linebacker Gary Davempter, the Jayhawks put 14 points on the scoreboard in the last six minutes of play.
Davenport set up KU's go-ahead touchdown with 5-33 left in the game when he blocked an ISU punt with KU gaining possession of the ball on the Cyclone 15-yard line. KU running Riggins, with a strong second effort to reach the next play to put Kansas ahead to stay.

The Cyclones wasted little time in trying to come back, moving to the KU 30-ward line in
nine plays where Davenport put the game away for KU with 3:26 left when he intercepted a George Amundson pass at the KU and ran it back 61 yards to the ISU nine.
Riggins scored his tenth touchdown of the season three plays later from three runs.
The game was a comedy of errors with Iowa State turning over the ball nine times on five fumbles and four interceptions. KU was not the first team to proceed calls from the ISU two-yard line.

KU scored first following an ISU fumble
KU scored next with 5:30 play in the third period on a 27-yard Helmach field goal. Kansas had driven from their own 44 to the ISU two yard line when the Hawks received a five yard penalty for illegal. On third and goal from the seven, KU quarrelled over yards to the ISU 10 where on the next play Hambach made the score KU 10, Iowa State 7.
Kansas had another chance to score following the kickoff when Iowa State fum-

The remainder of the first half was played between the 45 yard lines except for one Iowa ball, which ended with defensive tackle, Duke Holden, recovered a Cyclone fumble on the KU two yard line. At 7:08 p.m., the game was over.
"It was a very sloppy game on our part," the Jayhawk coach Pepper Turner said. "It wasn't bad, but it was KU's best game of the year. The Jayhawk defense gave up 338 total yards -172 yards rushing."

The poor play by both teams brought comments from the head coaches.
Iowa state Coach Jon Majors said, "don't know what to say. I really don't know what to say."
Bug statistic for the defense was the nine turnovers by Iowa State. KU recovered five ISU fumbles and intercepted four Cyclone passes.
Defensive standouts were Davenport with an interception and a blocked punt; defensive back Lee Hawkins with two interceptions; defense Ryan Henderson with one fumble recovery; linebacker Ken Payne with a fumble recovery; left end Bob Tyson with a fumble recovery; left tackle Duke Kendrick with a fumble recovery; injured in the fourth quarter with a knee injury and may be out for the year; defensive end Geary King with a fumble recovery; and defense end Don Perkins with eight tackles for the game.

Beck didn't enjoy one of his better days, completing only three passes on nine pitches.

That's when the defense gave Dickey a second chance. The 20-year-old Jack Midkron pass into the air and Owen Gibson pulled it down at the Sooners' 30. On Friday, the team got to a 28-24yard shot to Henry Hawthorne for the win.

speed," Davenport joked in reference to him being caught from behind on the interception. The entire game was one for KU defense as the much more aggressive players, who into going the game, ranked last in all four conference defensive categories, set up every KU score with two fumble passes and two pass interceptions.
Asked if this game would boost the confidence of the RU defense, Davenport readily agreed it would.
KU running back back John Riggins, who rushed for 96 yards to move the ball down the field at the all-time Big Eight rushing list, echoed Rodgers feelings by saying the Cyclones were the best team in the league. Jayhawks have faced this year. But, also like Rodgers, Riggins was one of the KU offensive effort
Offensively the story was different however as the Jayhawks repeatedly failed to sustain drives and never came up with the "big play" which has the tactic of KU most of the season.
"I thought it was a very sloppy game on our part," Rodgers analyzed.
"We didn't do anything," lodgers moaned in reference to his hit against the state this was our worst game by far unless they (law State) played us.
He cited a failure by KU to work effectively in effort by the Iowa State defense as the downfall of the KU offense, including a severe defensive football team. "Rodgers

"Our defense played magnificent well and they continued. "They had a very game. Our line stayed after them real and we defend the backs aggressively."
"Heck played a very fine game considering he hadn't practiced before. He bothering him," Rodgers said. "He was injured last week the game."
"I don't know what to say," Majsed says. "I really don't know what you can say about a game like this."
KU quarterback Dan Heck completed only three passes of nine attempts while having one of the longest drives. Rodgers was quick to defend him.

The first quarter of play was a tough defensive battle with the Giants' tigers on a seven yard keeper by quarterback Eohdohrade second and sixth.
The second half began quickly, when the Tigers took Berry, taking the KU kickoff and swimming 85 yards for the score. The Tigers lost to the Tigers, with 13 carries for 157 points.
The fourth quarter started with Ku training by 20 points. By this time, the defending team was possible to distinguish players. Even their faces were for the win.
Missouri scored on a one yard plunge and the ball was turned over to KU with about three minutes to play.
Kansas, determined not to be shut out, moved well and finally Jayne Tinsley and swept up for six yards touchdown. Soccer style kicker, Boyke Gafford kicked the extra point and the final score was 27-21.
The final rushing statistics had Missouri with 288 yards and KU with 143. But the freshmen from Lawrence had 101 yards passing while their opponents were down.
Head Coach J. C. Hixon said, "Missouri played a tough game, but we just didn't protect the passer."

"We just don't play in mud," he said.
