One of the biggest problems that confronted the University of Kansas Jayhawks Saturday was just how to stop Colorado's hard-
rushing tailback, Charlie Davis. Here one of the 'Hawks discovers the simplest way may also be the simplest as he wrestles Davis to the ground while Rick Mudge (24) and another Jayhawk look on. Colorado won the game, 33-8.
Devaney Backs Rogers for Award
KANSAS CITY (AP)—Nebraska coach Bob Devney said Monday he didn't think Johnny Rodgers' brushes with the law should have anything to do with the Husker football star's consideration for the Heisman Trophy.
"Johnny should certainly win the Heisman." "Told Daveney, 'I can't see how any problems he had over two years ago should affect him for the Heisman.'"
Rodgers, a receiver and kick return specialist, pleaded guilty in 1973 to a felony charge growing out of a filling station He was placed on probation for two years.
Early this year, Rodgers was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The charge was dropped. Rodgers was convicted last month of operating a motor vehicle while his driver's license was revoked.
Devaney, during by telephone from Lincoln, Neb., during a Big Eight Conference briefing session, said if the Heisman Trophy character award, they ought to list it as such.
"I CERTAINLY don't think anything that has happened to Johnny since then (the larceny conviction), like driving with a man who was on the road, should keep him from winning the trophy.
"Johnny has played excellent football. He continues to amuse me with the things he has done."
Generally, the other Big Eight football coaches agreed with Devaney.
Vince Gibson, the Kansas State coach, was one of them. Asked if a player's off-the-felt activities should be a factor, Gibson replied:
"If you're asking me if John Rodgers is the best football player in America, the answer is yes. If he's the best player in life, he should get the Heisman Trophy."
Couches Chuck Fairbanks of Oklahoma and Don Fambrough of Kansas also indicated the award should be based solely on a player's football ability.
"I'm not qualified to know what Johnny's been doing off the field," Fairbanks said. "I think the award is supposed to go to the best football player."
Fairbanks did not elaborate, probably because one of his own players, halfback Greg Prutt, is regarded as a prime can-nist. He seconded him in last year's voting.
ABOUT PRUITT, Fairbanks said:
"He's a strong candidate. I think he's the best back in the country, I wouldn't trade him."
Fambrough said a player's personal life had nothing to do with the award.

KU Basketball Team To Hold Scrimmage
"He judged on what he does on the ground," said Rodgers, and I think Rodgers is one of the best.
Iowa State Coach Johnny Majors had no comment about Rogers' personal activities.
Anything you want to say about rogers,
said Majors, "he's just, just out-
standing. He and George Amundson are
probably the finest athletes in the country."
"I've personally felt that an award like that should take into consideration the total individual," Omofrio said. "Exceptional athlete . . . personality . . . character.
KU coach Ted Owens announced that the scamming was open to the public and advertised.
Amundson, the Iowa State quarterback who three touchdown passes in the Cyclones' 23-23 tie with Nebraska last Saturday, is another Heisman candidate.
playing quarterback today," Majors concluded.
Coach A1 Onordio of Missouri disagreed with Devaney.
"Amundson is probably the best athlete
"Right now, Amundson would be the choice of mine. He's been a big part in their total picture and outstanding in two different positions. He's been outstanding three years. I haven't heard anything derogatory about him."
Three Frosh Scheduled To Move to KU Varsitv
University of Kansas coach Don Fambragh said Monday there would be some personnel changes for the Jayhawks' last season. The team would men would move up for varsity play.
"We will be looking at some of our younger players for the rest of the year because everyone is bruised and battered," said Farnbrough. "However, we will not neglect our seniors just to give our younger players experience."
