10 Monday, September 19, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Sports 6th-ranked Auburn thrashes young, outmanned Jayhawks By Jeff Euston Yorkson cooperative Kansan sportswriter Auburn University guaranteed Kansas $40,000 when the Jayhawks agreed to play Saturday's game in Auburn rather than in Lawrence. After a 56 7 thrashing at the hands of sixth-ranked Auburn, Kansas may be wondering if the trip was worth it. "That's the worst Saturday I have been through," Kansas coach Glen Mason said. "We can't give up a basketball every day! Auburn scored touchdowns, on six of its eight possessions in the first half. The first four Auburn scores on drives of three plays or fewer. Last season, Kansas went through a game at Auburn that was at least as bad as the Jayhawks were thumped 49-10 in their season opener. This year's game was not much different. If anything, the game's outcome was decided even more quickly than last season. The Tigers led 21-0 in the first five minutes had elapsed. "We were out of the game from the beginning." Mason said. "Auburn is just a great, great, talented football team." Auburn coach Pat Dey, gearing his team for the Southeast Conference schedule, said, "We are close to becoming an exclusive team." After Saturday's first quarter most would probably say that Auburn already is an explosive team "We did have Kansas heavily out-manned with physical strength and experience." Dve said. What's a trip to Auburn worth? The Kansas-Auburn game, originally scheduled as a home game for Kansas, was shifted to Auburn at the request of Auburn officials. By a Kansan reporter The agreement hinged on the condition that Auburn would play Kansas in Lawrence in the future. No date has been set for the game. Kansas, which would have made about $130,000 in gate receipts from a home game, made almost $270,000 in the deal. Last season, Kansas collected a payoff of just $100,000 for its trip to Auburn. Auburn plays eight home games and just three road games this season. An estimated 55,700 fans turned out for Saturday's game. Auburn is currently ranked No. 2 in the Adirondacks. Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium, the fifth-largest on campus at least once a season, has about 13,000 seats. The low attendance figure was due in part to the fact that most students are from the outskirts in town. Auburn is on the quarter system, and the students will not be able to attend. Saturday, Auburn racked up 680 total yards, compared to Kansas' 185. The Tigers punted only twice — once on a drive by the Cardinals and Auburn had 492 yards of total yards. Auburn scored on its second play from scrimmage — just 37 seconds into the game — on a 75-yard pass to wide receiver Lawyer Tillman. Auburn stuck again a little more than two minutes later. Slack hit wide receiver Freddy Weyand for a touchdown, pass, giving the Tigers a 14-10 lead. After a first-door run by Kansa- tail backain Arnold snell and another pun, Auburn tailback James Joseph Davis goes to the touchdown in five offensive plays. Joseph, a sophomore, scored again later in the quarter on an 85-yard touchdown catch, and the Tigers had a season year's first quarter score of 28.0. The Tigers drove to the Kansas 19 yard line late in the second quarter with a pass from Samuel prevented another score by intercepting a pass from Slack at the end of the game. Auburn added two touchdowns in the second quarter and led 4-2 at halftime. Kansas compounded its loss with an intercept and two fumbles. The Jayhawks' lone touchdown came in the third quarter, Kansas drove 49 yards in seven plays. The drive was capped by a four-yard touchdown pass from Donohoe to tight end John Baker, who had five catches for 27 yards in the game. Another bright spot for Kansas is a goal-line stand late in the fourth quarter. Auburn, on first and goal at the Kansas 1, twice sent tailback Browns up the middle. Both Brown was stopped short of the end zone. On third down, fullback Alex Strong tried to go outside and was hit by a defender. He scored on courth下安阿尾bailen尾 courth下安阿尾bailen尾 Love gained one yard, but was short short of the goal line by Blen But if one play illustrated the type of night it was for the Jayhawks, it was Kelly Dohoneh's second-quarter completion — to himself. The pass was batted into the air by an Airbun noseguard Gary Dunn. Dohoneh his third completion of the game — but was tackled for a six-air yard. Kansas '60-man traveling squad included 29 freshmen. In contrast, Auburn listed only eight freshmen on its first and second string depth Kansas wide receiver Willie Vaughn, who had caught a pass in nine consecutive games, did not catch a pass. Samuel and left tackle Mike Whitekatha both suffered shoulder strains during the game. Both are probable for Saturday's game at California.

Kansas CC teams sweep invitational Bv Arvin Donlev Kansan sportswriter "Anytime you win you've got to be confident, but not said. "But from a coach's standpoint, I can sit here and look at some things we definitely need to learn." After watching his men's and women's cross country teams take first in the Jayhawk Invitational Saturday, Kansas coach Gary Schwartz was happy but not complaining about the Jayhawks' performance. In the men's race, Schwartz said the Jayhawks let the North Texas State runners get out to big leads early. "If they could have kept going on lung on, we wouldn't have caught them." We had to be very careful. We had a home course advantage, but in a race, you can't allow a team to get that far ahead because if they do hold on, you're in dead heat. Schwartz said he was pleased to see the Jayhawks running close together in a pack. The top four scored within 15 seconds of one another. “There’s strength in numbers, and it’s easier to run with somebody than apart,” he said. “We did a good job once we had let them run down and just cutting them down, but it’s a dangerous way to play the game.” Kansas finished with 34 points, allowed by North Texas State's 42 points. It took the Rams 55 points. The invitation was at Rim Rock farm about 10 miles north of Kansas City. Jimmy Steve Hefferman, who was the top kansas finisher in last week's dual against Southern Hill (10-5) and finishing fourth in the eight kilometer race with a time of 27.56. He was one of two winners with the race with a time of 27.17. Other top finishers for the Jayhawks were freshman Thyiel, who finished seventh at 28:03; senior Doug Silika, who finished ninth at 28:03; senior Mike Spielman, who finished 10th at 28:11 and sophomore Sam Froese, who finished 13th at 28:34. Many of the Jayhaws, including many senior Craig Watcke, were suffering from colds and allergies. A stafferman said it affected the team. The Kansas women opened their season by scoring only 19 points and winning easily over Emporia State, which was second with 45. North Texas State finished last with 68 points. Junior Kelly Coffey and sophomore Tricia Brown finished second and third, respectively, in the five kilometer race, with times of 38.18 and 19.46. Former Emporia State Buckley Cindy Blakeley was at 18:10. Other Jayhawks who finished in the top ten were jenni Terri Milne (20.12), Jordyn Woods (20.22), sophomore Gundy, who finished eighth at 20.57; senior Angle Helmer, who finished ninth at 20.67; Hixon, who finished at 20.11. Coffey said the team did much better than she had expected. "Our whole team, including that it don't run cool, competit- ively this season," he said. "So at this point we're doing well and hopefully there'll be a lot of Helmer, who hasn't run cross country in several years, overcame physical difficulties during the race to finish in the top ten. "Come out of the narrows, I got a stomach cramp and was unable to catch my breath, so I was bent over and was not going to eat. I got to getting it, I got to feeling a little better and was able to bring it in strong." Because the Jayhawks' next race will not be until Oct. 1, at the game in Houston, more Domenic Anderson, who finished 6th Saturday, said practice was "very good." "We have a little specialty we all want that we'll get to run this week." And it's "A's" a fun little workout. It sepa- tioned the baby from the baby Jays.
