PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, SEPT. 26, 1949 Buffaloes Stun Kansas 13 To 12 By BUD WRIGHT Jules V. Sikes, head Kansas football coach, is a very unhappy man today, and well he should be. His Kansas football squad today rests at the bottom of the Big Seven standings, still dazed from the stunning 13 to 12 reverse received from the University of Colorado at Boulder Saturday in the conference opener. Other Bg† conference opener. Other Bg Seven teams played non-conference games. three games. It was the second straight defeat handed the Jayhawkers, who were rated third in the conference in preseason polls. Kansas muffed its chance to get in the Big Seven lead, making four costly fumbles. The Jayhawkers were further crippled by four pass interceptions. To make matters worse for Coach Sikes his team bumps into Iowa State here Saturday, Oct. 1. The apparently underrated Cyclones became the darkhorse in the Big Seven race Saturday after tying Illinois, of the tough Big Nine conference, 20 to 20. Iowa State was a 20-point underdog. The Iowans were ranked fourth in the pre-season conference poll. Despite scorching 88-degree temperature a crowd of 22,500 partisan Colorado fans watched Harry Narci-sian, fancy-stepping Colorado halfback, and Don Hagin, the Buffaloe's hard-running fullback, spark their mates to their first conference victory over Kansas and their first victory over Kansas since 1905. Kansas last played at Boulder in 1935. Dallas Ward's hepped-up Colorado team rolled up a 13 to 0 lead when the game was barely 19 minutes old. The Buffalooes so dominated first-half play that the Kansans were unable to get past the midfield strace until 22 minutes of the game had elapsed. Expected to be a threat only on the ground, Colorado completely baffled the Jayhawkers with a deadly first-half passing attack. The Buffaloes set up their initial touchdown through the air and scored the second on Harry Narsican's 16-yard flip to Charlie Mosher. On the first play of the game Narcissian faked a run around left end and suddenly reeled off a pass to Merwin Hodel, who was all alone on the right sideline. He got to Kansas 12-yard line before he was finally stopped. The play was good for 68 yards. Aided by a 5-yard penalty, Kansas was able to hold off scoring. Later in the period, however, the Buffalo drove from their own 29 to score. A series of runs by Narcissian and Hagin moved the ball to the Kansas 47-yard line. A pass from Dane Graves to Ed Pudlik, the Colorado captain, was good for 11 yards. Then Malcolm Miller completed to Hagin for 27 yards on the Kansas 5-yard stripe. Hagin crossed the goal on three bucks at center. Bud French put the Jayhawkers back in the game late in the second quarter when he uncorked a brilliant 31-yard run around left end and scored, standing up, Bill Case, an end, blocked Bill Rinehart's kick for the extra point so Colorado led 13 to 6. Kansas hopes soared when Jerry Bogue, sophomore quarterback, hit Aubrey Linville with a 38-yard heave with less than 2 minutes gone in the fourth quarter. It climaxed an 84-yard Kansas drive. But big Sam Catanzaro blocked Rinehart's attempted kick and Colorado led 13 to 12. The Jayhawkers battled vainly to get ahead throughout the final period, and seemed to be on their way in the game's closing minutes when Malcolm Miller made a diving interception of a Dick Gilman pass on the Colorado 29-yard line. That was it. The Buffaloes controlled the ball for the next 2 minutes and had moved up to the 43-yard stripe when the game ended. Dick Gilman, an all-conference quarterback for Kansas in 1948 had perhaps the worst day of his collegiate football career. He completed but two of nine attempted passes and had four intercepted by the alert Colorado backfield. Bud French and Forrest Griffith starred for the Kansans, French ripped off 86 yards in 10 ground plays to rank as the games best ground gainer. Griffith rammed his way for 68 yards in 14 tries. He averaged better than 10 yards on four occasions. The performances of Bogue and Linville were extremely promising. Bogue, a former star at Wichita East High school, made good three of four passes for 84 yards and Linville, another sophomore, made four catches for 102 yards. The lineups: Kansas LE- Norris, Smith.
