Cowboys Surprise Big 8
KU, OSU Football Fortunes Differ
By DAN GEORGE
Kansan Sports Editor
When the University of Kansas Jayhawks take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday in Stillwater, on the field will be played with completely contrasting football fortunes.
The Cowpokes, at the beginning of the season, were tabbed as a definite second division squad and even picked by some as a strong choice for the Big Eight cellar.
But, under the direction of first-year coach Dave Smith, OSU has emerged as one of the top teams in college football. Cowboys, with a 4-8 ratio, have already equaled the OSU win totals in each of the last two years and have a good chance to post their season mark since 1959, when season #6-4.
The Jayhawks, though, have not been so fortunate. Hoping to improve on last season's 47 record with a newly installed passing attack, the Hawks instead have been forced by an inconsistent offense and an overbundance of mistakes and turnovers.
The KU-Oklahma State football game Saturday will be broadcast from Stillwater over radio stations KANU in Lawrence and Westfield to allow fans off for the contest is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
Carlton Named Best Pitcher In N.L. in '72
ST. LOUIS (AP)—I feel that I'm in sort of an elite class, and that that has to give you an elite feeling." Steve Carlton, baseball's premier pitcher in 1972, said Thursday.
The hard-throwing Carlton, who two years earlier posted a 10-19 season, had climbed all the way to the top with his national League's Cv Young Award winner.
Two writers from each of the league's 12 cities gave Carlton, a 27-year-old Philadelphia Phillies' left-hander all their votes.
Carlton, by posting a 27-10 record, matched Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax's record for most wins in the N.L. by a southwest division, and Penn State's Denny McLain, as a northwestern winner.
Koufax won the award without rival in 1963, 1965 and 1966, and Gibson and McLain were similarly honored in 1968, the first American League winner both the American and National Leagues.
Cartlon, 28-9 in 1971 for the St. Louis Cardinals, called a salary dispute which ended in his being traded to the Phils "a blessing in disguise."
"Pitching, every four days, I was able to develop a high rate of consistency," he said
to a huge rate of consistency! I was able to establish himself immediately as the Phils' ace, the 6-foot-5 Carlton led the N.L. with 41 start, 16 games, 346 innings pitched, 310 strikeouts and a 1.98 earned run average.
THE JAYHAWKS, 2-5, are currently in the threes of a three-game loss streak that began with a 20-19 defeat by rival Kansas State in Manhattan. KU quarterback David Jaynes was injured in the Wildcat contest and saw only limited action in KU's next game with Nebraska. The result was a 56-0 trouncing by the 'Huskers.
But perhaps the Jayhawks' most disappointing loss came last Saturday against Iowa State, when they dropped a 34-8 decision. TWO KU failed to score from
inside the Cyclone five-yard line, and the 'Hawks turned the ball over four times. The squad appeared listless, and coach Dona Fambrough said it was the first time this year that he thought the players didn't put out a maximum effort.
The Oklahoma State game reasons as a crucial one for several reasons. KU's three games after the Cowboys are with Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri, all nationally ranked. In addition, only one of these Oklahoma will be played in Lawrence.

MORRIS KAY
The only Candidate for Governor with Solutions to our Problems
Kay Stands For: Implementing Meaningful Tax Relief For All Kansas Families
"During the past 100 days, I have talked to people throughout our state. I have made it my duty and responsibility to help a worker, the businessman, the homemaker, young people just starting their family, older citizens on fixed retirement incomes, and our citizens who are struggling with financial problems, helping their children for a profession or vocation, one is voiced over and another is not."
"Wherever you go in Korea you find a consistent desire to ease the
tension that many Koreans advocate of tax relief also express the vital importance of competing for benefits."
"Kansas spends more for basic services per capita than the average of our state. Our state income from taxes has grown substantially in the last decade.
The burden of taxes ... heavy on most families, has added to a feeling of inequality among poor citizens. There is a feeling that government taxes more and more and gives
"And the time has come for our state government, in granting such relief, to insure that our people are confident they are not relaxed in a new way and are happy."
2. Applying sound business management techniques in state government does not mean backups in state services, but it does mean utilizing the normal increase in state growth to meet the current budget, rather than simply adding new assets and layers of red tape simply because the state income grows through the regular process of economic expansion.
3. A concentrated effort must be made by the next governor to encourage new industry. New industry, more and more
Sound refuge is possible through:
Sound management of out state budget picture.
The time has come to provide tax relief for our families
better jobs will increase even further the increase our state from economic growth. New industry . . . more and better jobs will increase even further the increase our state from economic growth.
As Governor, I will propose to the State Legislature
Governor can take the tax on food and medicine is the most fair, most meaningful and most beneficial action your next Governor can take. He must start the next administration with a working partnership between the people of this state and their officials.
Seventeen states have removed the tax on food and 30 from medicine. They testify to the beneficial effects on the lives of their citizens.
By totally eliminating this tax sales on two essentials of life, we provide meaningful tax relief to every Kansas
It will also increase even further the income for our state from economic growth. "As Governor, we are committed to active and actively support with strong leadership removal of the sales tax on food sold for home consumption and medicine."
because of the crisis in confidence that we do face in state government, citizens ask us brutely 'can we trust our officials to relief ... to give them the confidence they need, I propose a second positive step of our program for tax relief.
propose and the people to pass a constitutional amendment to our Kansas State Constitution that will, in the future, permit property tax levy on the hands of the people. "There comes a time in the life of every state when it will be time for us to propose."
*There comes a time in the life of every state when if it must answer the voice of the people if it is to continue to be responsive to their needs.
am proclaiming the Yellow Kansans . . . not with the old political shell game of promising no new taxes, but with the sincere plea to the people. That we will give them a constitution and guarantee to prevent this tax relief being shifted to their property. That we will give them a constitución.

A victory would also show they can win on the road. The Jayhawks have already won one of their away games this season, a 34-28 victory over Minnesota. It is, however, the same game that Pam Fumbrook took over the coaching chores at the beginning of last season.
Fambrough knows the 'Hawks have their work cut out for them. The Cowboys have not been defeated in Lewis Stadium this year and opened their conference season there with a 31-4 upset of then third-ranked Kansas City and then Iowa hawks, also sporting a 21-9 overmark against OSU, have lost their last three games with the Stillwater squad.
ALTHOUGH describing the Cowboys as "one of the meanest, toughest teams we'll play all year," Fambrough is optimistic about his squad's chances. Despite a week of rain-dammed drills, the Jayhawks have looked good in practice and have even experimented with the wishbone formation to effort to strengthen their running game.
"We're going to try it," he said, "and see if it can give us some more punch on the ball."
The KU ground attack has been one of Fambrough's major concerns. Recent opponents, such as Nebraska and Iowa, often use an aggressive approach, nothing but prevent-type defenses. The KU coach hopes a rejuvenated game can minimize the kind of coverage and give the team more offensive edge.
PERHAPS THE biggest problem the KU coach faces is a recurrence of injuries in the Jayhawks' ranks. Running back Delvin Williams and Robert Miller, the team's star running back, have been harmless pulls and are scheduled to only limited action. Their injuries prompted the addition of freshman Robert McCaskill to the varsity. Starting running backs like SU are expected to be Jerome Neloma at tailback and Vince O'Nell at fullback.
Other injured Jayhawks are defensive tackle Don Goode, who won't make the trip because of a hamstring pull, and linebacker Dean Zook and Randy Robinson.
