By JOHN RITTER

Any doubts that remained about the Kansas defense were washed away Saturday in rain that dropped all of the Jahayks recorded their second shutout in as many games, this time over the Baylor

On Friday night, both Teams'
offense sputtered at times under
a barrage of fumiles, penalties
But not the Kansas defense, which held the Bears to a meager 136 yards in total offense, just 91 of those on the ground.
Like a week ago against Washington State, the defense came up with the big play when needed. But most of the big plays were not played, and they applied to the Jayhawk front five. Here's the evidence all three of Kansas interceptions, by men the secondary, came after KU linemen forced Baylor to head south to Shaulry hacks nurses.

pitch-out recovered by rover Mark Geraghty, and the second rover Eric Hogan. Sumail just as he throws, halfback Lee Hawkins time to give split end Romie Hensen a clean hit, causing him to fumble.
But considering the stubborn playing conditions and a stout Baylor defense, especially in the offseason, deserves its share of the credit.
Baylor gained only nine yards in the second half, giving the Kansas offense time to increase its shake 74-10 halftime.
KU RUNNING BACKS MOVED the ball 177 yards on the ground, and Dan Heck for 90 yards through the air.
After fumbles and penalties
frustrated the offense through most of the first quarter, Kansas got on the board early in the second quarter after Hawkins' interception and 30-yard run back gave the 'Hawks the ball on the
After runs by fullback Steve Connell, tailback Jerome Iverson and onward teammate Kejia needed a first down on the 14 Baylor defense stiffened and forced the 'Hawks into a third down situation with five yards to go.
On the next play Heck rolled to left and lefted a nineyard gain by Mike Cerne. Cerne, a defensive halfback, grabbed a made a five-foot grab from the defender Willie Stewart at the corner of the end zone. It was a one-down play.

But a bumble by Nelloms and subsequent recovery by Bears' tackle Glenn Chmelar nullified the drive.
Meanwhile. Baylor could
manage only one serious attempt to score. And that scare came on the Bears' first possession.
On Baylor's first play, Southall hignon on a 30-yard pass to Terry Lorenzo in the tailback Matthew Williams earned another first down to the defense. The Badgers Gene Wilson burst through the Kansas defense for 31 yards on a touchdown.
BUT WITH FIRST AND GOAL from the three for Baylor, KU's defense came alive. Williams slammed into the line twice for a fumble, and the veteran tailback fumbled, although Southall recovered for no gain. On Baylor's last try from the two, Southall rolled to his right and was hit by Sheets just insulted him in rats ruled it an incomplete pass.

In the third quarter, Kansas widened its lead with two field goals by Bob Heimbacher. And the final score was pressure was the indirect cause.
After the kick-off, Baylor moved to the KU 40 on a six-yard gain by Wilson and a facemask hit by Derek Brunson. Southall was dropped for an

Safety Is Intentional Beall Gambles Late
By JOHN RITTER
Kansan Sports Editor
shutout victory of the season against Baylor, Saturday.
Football coaches grudgingly allow opponents to earn yardage, but seldom does a coach reliish giving points to opponents, especially in the fourth quarter of a game, when his team is trailing.
But for Baylor Coach Bill Beall,
who "gave" the Kansas
Jayhawks a two-point safety in
the game, the advantage is
often a calculated necessity.
With his team facing third down and long yardage from their 4-yard line, Beau instructed players to step back knee to the ground in the end zone, thus giving KU two points while giving the Boars a free kick at the goal.
Beall, whose offense had been frustrated all afternoon, said the decision was a gamble, and one whose success depended on a quick fumble recovery or in-attention after KU got possession.
"We were sitting back there after messing up on a play that really demoralized me," he said. "We were in third down, but then there would have been a lot of pressure on the fourth down punt. The way our punts had been averaging, and not covering them to cover the punter, you have to figure they (KU) would have gotten the ball on around the 20.
them (KU) a real good shot at scoring again. The natural reaction was to give them the safety, then we could kick under them. We had to break. That was just common sense as far as I'm concerned."
"At that point, I'd rather be behind by 15 than 13 and give
The Baylor coach was more liguised with his own team's allure to score than he was with the facity of the uf defense.
"Offensively," the main problem was that we didn't capitalize on our opportunities. They did. In any kind of close name," he said, "we got to owe them." The opponents 30 yard-line all least four times. When we did, we could capitalize.
"In the first place," he said, "if you don't get the touchdown, they've got 98 yards to go for a score in the first quarter. We got them 99 out of 100 times. We had driven on them; it was our first possession of our first game. You don't want to away way the kids had earned."
Beaill also give his rationale for going for a touchdown in the first quarter on fourth and goal from the two.
"It (the defense) always seems to be better when you're behind. Kansas isn't a weak team in any sense of the word," he said.
Beall said the Kansas defense played heads-up football all afternoon.

FAMBROUGH SAID he was equally proud of the goal line stand against Baylor on the opening kickoff as he was of the opening drive against the team state last week.
said, "It was a tremendous football game; a lot of enthusiasm and confidence in it, and that's the name of the game."
He said the Jayhaws rush put good pressure on Baylor's passing game, and he added that Bears had a tough defensive line.
The Jayhawks were forced to make some adjustments because of weather conditions which were much more severe than the team had been used to this season.
Fambrough said of the Baylor team, "They did some things on defense we didn't expect."
"The big thing about our
demeanor that they believe in
themselves is playing as a team real well,

Fambrough was pleased with the performance of the defensive unit.
