Lafayette moves up
NEW YORK (UPI)—Lafayette's 14-10 victory over Colgate Saturday gave it extra impetus in voting for the Lambert Cup—aawarded annually to the best middle-sized college football team in the east—and into first place ahead of Amherst, last week's leader.
Hawks will not encounter any additional pressure
KU's invitation to the Orange Bowl will not place any added pressure on the Jayhawks for this Saturday's game with Mizou, head coach Pepper Rodgers said.
Rodgers said that the team would resume practice some time in December since the af-
"If we were playing Missouri with only the game at stake, there would be pressure on us." Rodgers said after yesterday's practice. "We're going to try just as hard to win this Saturday as we did against Missouri last year," he added.
KU's coach said that Orange Bowl officials will probably bear the most pressure. "They undoubtedly want us to win this Saturday," he said.
ternon sessions would be called off for a couple of weeks after the Missouri game. "It wouldn't be worth going to the Orange Bowl if we had to practice for five weeks," he said.
The Jayhawks practiced for nearly 90 minutes yesterday in near-freezing temperatures. Rodgers admitted that he did not expect this type of weather in Miami on New Year's Day.
He joked that KU could have accepted a bid to a bowl game in the cold north lands. "We had an invitation to the Eskimo Bowl but we turned it down," he quipped.
"Where's that?" one person asked.
"In Alaska," Rodgers said
TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI)—Gov. Robert B. Docking yesterday sent a telegram to coach Pepper Rodgers and the KU football team congratulating them on their Miami invitation.
Docking wires congratulations
It said: "Congratulations! Kansans are proud of you on winning the Orange Bowl invitation. We wish you success. I am looking forward to joining you in Miami for the big game."
Hawk it to 'em!
