Monday, September 19, 1977 University Daily Kansan 7 Jayhawks'turnovers again spell defeat,17-7 By GARY BEDORE Sports Writer Although the setting was close to Hollywood, the Kansas Jaywhacks didn't draw many rave reviews in their performance at the Los Angeles Coliseum Saturday night. And one of the Jayhawks critics was KU coach Bud Moore, who said yesterday he was disappointed with the team's play. "We did not play well enough to win," Moore said. "At times our defense played very well, but on offense there was no continuity. We were ineffectively outmaneuvered and took advantage of what the defense was giving us." FOR THE SECOND week in a row, Kansas showed it was capable of playing with the nation's best, but key turnovers spoiled the 'Hawks' chances for an upset win. A first quarter interception thrown by KU quarterback Brian Bettke gave UCLA the ball on the KU 22-yard line, and it took the Bruins only three plays to score. core. Later in the quarter, a roughing penalty after a Mike Hibach punt gave UCLA the ball on the KU 32, and even though the Jayhawks' defense stopped the Bruins, Boer Moormeester booted a 45-yard field goal to give UCLA a 10-10 lead. "We simplified our offense a bit, but we still made critical mistakes we have to eliminate." Moore said. "UCLA had so many defenses, we were not as prepared with our passing games as we should have KANNS BATTLED back after making the two costly mistakes. With Bethe at the controls, KU went 96 yards in 10 plays to pull within three points of the Bruins at halftime. The touchdown came on a sixyard-run by halfback Mike Higgins, who gained 73 yards on 13 carries. "I thought the defense played well," safety Tom itchie told him. "We had a long drive, our defense is maturing, I think." UCLA's second-half drive took 10 minutes and 19 seconds and covered 79 yards in 16 plays. Bruin halfback James Owens, the game's lead rusher, gained 20 of his 98 yards on the drive. Owens carried 19 times and was UCLA's running The Bruins replaced Brown with six running backs. Freshman Freeman McNeal and 31 yards on 41 runs. "They had some real fine backs and good depth at the position." Moore said. workhorse. The Bruins were counting heavily on a star halftack Thesuns couldn't play because the Spurs played well. The Jayhawks didn't score in the second half—but saw a glimmer of hope for the future when freshman quarterback J Hines took over for Bethke in the fourth quarter. TAKING OVER at the Kansas 49-yard-line, Hines smoothly marched Kansas to the UCLA 10, on first-and-ten, the freshman's bubble burst when he scored a goal and Frank Stephen recovered the ball for the Bruns. Hines engineered an almost identical drive in the game's wawning seconds. Kansas moved 48 yards in 10 plays to the UCLA 13, but the drive stopped when the Bruins held KU on fourth down at the 10. more was impressed with the freshman's performance. "I was very pleased with the way he played." Moore said. "For the first time out he did well." HINES’ PERFORMANCE is not likely to confuse Moore about who is KU's RN.

He is hoping to return this weekend against Washington State. THE WASHINGTON STATE Cougars, KU's opponent this Saturday, pose a problem for Kansas because they already are 2-0 and boost star quarterback Jake Butler to 30 passes Saturday in a 21-23 win over Michigan State. "We haven't had a chance to look at the films of Washington State, but I understand he is the second passer in the country. They also have two great receivers returning from last year." Moore "It will be awfully nice to play at home; it's much better than on the road." ★★ STATISTICS Baseline | | scoring | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | KANNAS | 0 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 7 | | UCLA | 0 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 7 | UCLA Boermeester, 45 field goal KU: Mignogna, 6 run (Hoahach kick) UCLA Bearesh, 2 run (Boermeester kick) 40.179.7 TEAM STATISTICS INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RANDAB NUBAS UBLA First downs Randy-yardie 01.140 02.954 Second downs 01.140 02.954 Retaining yards 9.61 9.81 Retaining yards 9.61 9.81 Pollution-limits 3.5 3.5 Pollution-limits 3.5 3.5 Total yards 10.60 KANANA: Basken 21-9 ix, Bildstein 13-8 ix, Eider 6-8 ix, UCLA: Basken 10-9 ix, Bildstein 14-8 ix, Punting 7-9 ix, UCLA: Basken 1-4 0-9 yards, Bildstein 0-1 0-yards.
