Jayhawkers Squelch Cyclone Threat, 7-0
Exploding for 71 yards late in the fourth quarter, the Kansas Jayhawkers downed a fighting Iowa State team before 25.000 fans Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium.
By Warren Haskin
Curtis McClinton supplied the final surge for KU by taking a pitchout from quarterback Duane Morris to gallop 15 yards around his left end to pay dirt with 6:44 remaining in the game.
Fullback Doyle Schick broke McClinton loose with a tremendous block on the 11 yard line. The play came on a fourth and one situation with Morris checking signals at the line of scrimmage. John Suder then booted his ninth extra point of the '59 campaign.
Iowa State fought hard throughout the game, but could not break through the Jayhawker defense. The Cyclones, although recovering five Kansas
fumbles, only managed to get 184 total yards compared to 308 for KU. They had averaged 345 yards a game before Saturday.
Center Fred Hageman set up the only score of the game as he recovered an Iowa State fumble on the Cyclones' 29-yard line.
Morris engineered the touchdown with quick thinking at the line of scrimmage by changing signals at the last minute after finding the hole blocked for the play he had called.
McClinton got the handoff instead of John Hadl and ran the weak side of the Cyclone line for the winning touchdown.
Coach Jack Mitchell was high in his praise of Morris following the game.
"Morris looked very good today, especially while working the option play. His checked signal was one of the best, but he has been doing a good job for us all year and today's job
was just another example of his leadership," the Kansas mentor said.
Coach Mitchell also termed Morris' decision to run wide instead of up the middle on the touchdown play one of the best calls of his career.
Iowa State's famed "dirty thirty" showed Kansas one of the hardest hitting teams the Jayhawkers have seen this season.
"Oklahoma seemed like a cousin to us compared to the way those fellows hit," Morris commented after the game. "I don't think we've faced a more rugged tackling team all year long."
The win put Kansas only two wins away from a tie for the Big Eight championship and the coveted Orange Bowl bid. One loss in the remaining two conference games would mean a second place finish for the Jayhawkers.
ON THE ROAD—Curtis McClinton is shown picking up the final 15 yards on the road to the only touchdown of the Kansas-Iowa State game in the fourth quarter Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawker halfback managed to shake the pursuing official off in notching up the game winning tally.
Along the Jayhawker Trail
By Larry Hazelrigg
It may be football season, but the Kansas City Athletics are doing their best to stay in the headlines these days.
Houk spent several successful years as manager of the Denver Bears before moving up to the parent Yankee club. Mauch has just been named "Manager of the Year" in the American Association for the second straight time.
The Athletics are due to name a new manager. The announcement may come this week or owner Arnold Johnson may hold off for a while.
Top candidates for the job are Ralph Houk, a coach in the New York Yankee organization, and Gene Mauch, manager of the Minneapolis Millers.
The job presents a real challenge to whoever gets it. Both men are qualified for a major league managership. The problem would be to pull a group of hot and cold ball players into a winning team.
The Athletics played last year like a Fourth-of-July sparkler, flickering along in the first division of the American League and eventually
The Athletics have some good ball players, perhaps even one or two with the potential of being great. What must be done now is to get them to become a team. This will be the manager's biggest job.
Some observers believe Kansas City will forget its A's if they do not prove to be a pennant contender soon. But others realize that a tremendous job of rebuilding must be done.
Athletic fans came to the games in great numbers, as usual, but the turntables almost did not click one million times.
fading out. No one expected them to win a pennant, but they looked good while they lasted.
The decision is up to Johnson. We hope his choice gets the job done. Kansas City fans deserve a winner for their enthusiasm. They may have to wait a few more years but we think they'll remain faithful.

Tom Skutka led the way for the Jays with a winning time of 15:49 on the rain-splattered course. The Sooners' fleet import Gail Hodgson finished second.
