7 Defeats Mar Gridiron Season
Rv BRAD AVERY
The football season began and ended on promising notes, but in between the Jayhawks played very unpromising football, while they accumulated seven defeats. They also benefited from Fambridge warned hopeful KU fans during spring practice that his ranks were lower, but who believed him after successive wins over Washington and Baylor.
What was to be become clearer, however, when the 'Hawks played Florida State in the energy-sapping. Florida humidity. Semi-martial quarterback secondary for the secondary apart for 309 yards and 18 completions in leading them to a 30-7 win. KU quarterback Jaynes proved he was not the superstar on the one everyone had hoped for when three of his passes were intercepted
EVERYONE hoped for a quick comeback, though the 'Hawks fell to the Minnesota Gophers the next week in Bloomington. The team was been earlier by Washington, been team Kansas stumped 34-0. However, the depth problem on defense proved crucial because the mammoth KU's force for 302 yards rushing to the Hawks down to their second defeat, 38-20.

Pessimism soared for the upcoming battle with traditional rival K-State. The Wildcats had looks like impressive, the week before nationally-ranked Colorado. But the Jayhawk defense regained its earlier form, keeping K-State in the game. David Jaynes, meanwhile, had his best day ever, coming on to replace the floundering Dan he completed twelve of sixteen games. He called went up. "What's the score
K-State, what's the score?" It was 39-13, in case you don't remember.
HOWEVER, the collective Jayhawk head quickly submerged from the clouds when KU men headed to Lincoln Records were set that day. For instance, one in losing 42 yards for their total output, Midland company made a company made the Jayhawk offensive line look silly, as they constantly thwarted any attempt to run or pass. The final score was as a zero day all the way around.
guessed, battered and stomped, KU's next stop was in Ames to do battle with Iowa State. With the Nebraska game still on their minds, the Hawks quickly fell behind 30-1. Iowa State's head was cut to six, but the rally fell short down to its fourth defeat, 40-24.
HOPE SPRING anew when KU met Oklahoma State, a team that was having the same kind of season the Jayhawks were. But KU won over Oklahoma and so was the football. In a steady downpour, KU managed to fumble the ball away four times and blow several scoring opportunities. The Cowboys took 17-10 on a silver platter. 17-10
Upset was clearly on KU's mind for the injury-plugged goal. Jawayk defense effectively shut off KU's triple option during the first half and took a seven-eleven tie to the dressing room but that didn't stop the fourth option, Cliff Branch. The 9.2 printer took a handoff late in the third quarter and before he had speeded 85 yards for a touchdown. That broke the game open, and KU had incurred its fifth loss.
NO ONE expected much of the Jayhawks for the Oklahoma
game. Defeat seemed imminent even before the coin tass. At halftime, the Jayhawks were behind 49-10, and it might have been 56-18 at the finish except that they were out by 10 seconds. Bankers mercifully rounded up eleven fourth stringers and asked them to be gentle when they played. The score ended at 56-10 but one Oklahoma fan was heard to remark at halftime. "They have us beat with their band."
THE BATTLE between the lowly and the lower capped the season for the Jayhawks. Missouri with its 1-9 record was ranked among the ten worst teams in the regular season, holding Oklahoma to twenty points; so doubt remained as to who was the worst in the Big Eight. For awhile that dubious distinction looked to be a tie as the teams had lost to the Giants. David Jayhawk threw a beautiful pass to Marvin Foster late in the third quarter for KU's only touchdown. The Jayhawk defense curtailed the sputtering Missouri in the fourth quarter leading 7-0. Missouri retaliated with a drive to KU fifteen but they failed to convert on a fourth down play. In the final kickoff and the ball, after three attempts by KU to move the ball failed, Jayhawk punter Marc Harris was faced with a 35 mph wind. In a grand piece of strategy, the Missouri defense risky point and give Missouri a safety. Harris played cat and mouse with the Tiger rush for twelve seconds before he was tackled in the end zone. This gave Missouri control over the 20 and Missouri two points. The Tigers got possession on the 45 but defensive Eddie Sedgean put an end to any hope of a rally when he forced the Missouri forward to fumble a strange game outcome two scores 7-2.
HOPES for a promising future will be dimmed by graduation. They will lose the entire starting interior offensive line of McCoy, Childs, Cooper, Gaugh and handoff. The defense will be Kenny Page and Lee Hawkins, both of whom are pro prospects.
However, things are not all bleak. Returning will be one of the Big Eight se蛤 receivers, John Scholl, David Jaynes, who played two games in the protection might be the best in the Big Eight next fall, will also return. On defense, second team all Big Eight selection Eddie Harris and an experienced Gery Palmer will be among the returns.
IN ADDITION, help from the freshmen may be upcoming. Linebackers Dean Baird and Jason Heyward will replace graduate Kenny Page and Steve Roach. Fedron Dillon might place his 280 pound frame on either defense or offense, but he would need to backstroke. Fambrach意见会 move him.
Fambrough is also sure to recruit heavily among the junior college teams. If he is successful, he will be able to mediate help from players such as 6-5, 235 pound end Joe Wundry and 6-4, 235 pound guard Jerome Hodge of Ford Scotts 6-5, 180 pound guard John Butter County, and 6-4, 180 pound
Aas Jenkins, a defensive half-back from Dodge City. Of course, all four players are speculative. Junior College all-stars and they might, if ignored, fill vows in KU's team for a winning team next fall.
NU Favored In Contest With Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP)—The University of Hawaii Rainbows are after the Impossible Dream.
The lightly regarded independent school will test its skills and develop a football powerhouse Saturday when it hosts No. 1-Ranked
Hawaii's record is record against Nebraska is even, 1-1. They hope for a repeat of the game 6-0 Rainbow victory in 1954
Local sportswriters, in their idle moments, have figured out score comparisons which show the difference between 175 points better than Hawaii.
Hawaii has compiled a 7-3 record, lost both of its road games and dropped a 46-21 free to Long Beach State at home.
Jayhawks the advantage of kicking off from the 20, thus keeping Missouri far enough away from the goal line that they were unable to score before the final gun.
