TRAPPED—Oklahoma State's ace quarterback, Dick Soergel, looks for a way out as the pressure is applied by hard-charging linemen Fred Hageman (55), Ken Fitch (68) and Dick Rohlf
(67) . Soergel had a rough day against the aroused Jayhawker line, completing only 6 out of 11 for 79 yards and caught behind the line six times for a rushing loss of 39 yards.

KU Trips Cowboys
KU took another step toward the Orange Bowl Saturday as the Jay-hawkers snapped an Oklahoma State six-game winning streak to down the Cowboys 28-14 before 15,000 fans in windswept Memorial Stadium.
MOUNTING A POWERFUL ATTACK, the Jayhawkers scored all their points in the first half, runs by John Hadl, Curtis McClinton and Doyle Schick accounting for three TD's. KU's final score came when guard Dick Rohlf fielded a blocked O-State punt on the three-yard line and scampered across untouched to realize a lineman's dream.
John Peppercorn terrorized the Cowboy backfield most of the afternoon. Repeatedly breaking through to dump O-State runners for losses, Peppercorn also blocked Larry Bahner's punt at the Cowboy four-yard line, where Rohlf snagged the loose ball and went in for a KU score.
BOSTON—(UPI)—Like Pee Wee Reese, basketball star Bill Sharman of the Boston Celtics was a marble shooting champion during his youth. He's from Porterville, Calif.
Coach Jack Mitchell praised Roger Hill's work on defense. "Hill was another boy who played a very fine defensive game for us today," said Mitchell. "He made quite a few key tackles and was hitting O-State hard."
KU'S FIRST HALF SCORING BEGAN when Hadl took a Duane Morris pitchout and skirted right end for 32 yards and a Jayhawker touchdown. John Suder booted the first of his four extra points to make the score 7-0.
Less than four minutes later, McClinton raced 43 yards to paydirt, giving the Jayhawkers a two-touch-down margin. Suder again split the uprights to put KU ahead, 14-0.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Peppercorn smothered an O-State punt attempt on the Cowboy four-yard line. Rohlf then picked up the ball and went over. Suder's kick made the score 21-0.
Making good yardage on the passing of Dick Soergel and the running of Jim Dillard, Oklahoma State struck back with 10:27 remaining in the first half. Dillard moving 19 yards for the score.
THE JAYHAWKERS BOUNCED BACK on a six-yard scoring plunge by Doyle Schick just before the half. The score was Schick's first in varsity play.
Sharman Was Marble Whiz
Coach Mitchell played his second and third units during most of the last half. The Cowboys were able to score once more to make the final tally 28-14.
