A note from the sports editor: Rumors began to circulate early last week concerning a minority of KU students. This minority, it seems, plans to pitch oranges at the Oklahoma football team this Saturday in retaliation for the orange bombardment our team received in Norman, Okla., last year.
Last year, after it was apparent that the Sooners were going to be the Big Eight representative in the Orange Bowl, Oklahoma fans felt it appropriate to heave oranges onto the field. Perhaps there is a similar motivation behind this year's orange-tossing minority at KU. KU is in a good position for the Orange Bowl bid, but that doesn't mean we have it all wrapped up! It certainly does not mean that fans are allowed to throw things at the opposing team.
Why not let the football team beat OU without the help of falling oranges or flying debris?
To my Fellow Students:
The game Saturday with The University of Oklahoma is the most critical game of the year for our team. I know it is also equally important for all of you. We are extremely proud of the manner in which you have cheered and encouraged us.
Last year in Norman we were pelted with oranges. We want the chance to settle the game on the field in a fair manner. Not only could we be penalized if our fans throw oranges but the teams could be asked to leave the field. We don't want to dim the terrific enthusiasm of our student body, but only ask that we don't resort to tactics that detract from the game on the field.
Thank you for being with us.
You are the best!

TO BE A FAN IS GOOD.
TO BE A JAYHAWK IS GREAT
GREAT
TO BE A GENTLEMAN IS THE GREATEST
I hope we can say all the above is true after the game Saturday. Let's don't spoil a wonderful season for you and for us by throwing anything at the Oklahoma team. I would really appreciate it as I know our team would.
Let's all get together this weekend and make this the best weekend in KU history.

Harriers after Big Eight title
By LUIS F. SARTOS Kansan Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson, who suffered a severe bruise to a thigh in Sunday's game against Oakland, was released from a hospital yesterday.
Hosts for the Big Eight Championship, the Jayhawk harriers have posted victories at the Oklahoma State Jamboree, the Southern Illinois meet, the KU Invitational, the KU-OSU dual and the State Federation meet.
Last year KU took third place in the Big Eight championship, and the best Jayhawk runner was Glenn Cunningham, Leon junior, with third place.
Timmons said strong contenders for the individual title would be: Dennis McGuire of Iowa
KU track coach Bob Timmons believes the team title will be decided among Colorado, Kansas, K-State, Missouri and Nebraska.
All American Craig Runyan of Colorado, and last year's individual winner, will be on hand to defend his title. The defending team champion is Missouri, which last year edged Colorado by seven points.
Ashe to Davis cup
SAN JUAN, P.R. (UPI)—Arthur Ashe, winner of the first annual U.S. Open tennis tournament last August, and Clark Graebner were named Wednesday to represent the United States in singles matches against India in the Davis Cup interzone finals this weekend.
Donald Dell, the non-playing team captain, announced the selection of Ashe and Graebner and also revealed that Stan Smith and Bob Lutz will represent the U.S. in Sunday's doubles match.

State; Craig Runyan and Rick Trujillo of CU; Jerome Howe and Bob Baratti of K-State; Glenn Agde, Kirk Hogan and Carl Gans of MU; Pete Branga and Greg Calberg of NU, Bill Blenett of OU; and Pete Kaal and Tom Laubert of OSU.
In the conference meet each team enters seven runners, and only the first five count in the scoring.
against each other in various meets; NU over K-State, 24-35; K-State over OU, 26-74; MU over K-State, 36-35; MU over ISU, 23-36; NU over MU, 21-34; CU over NU, 39-47; OU tied OSU, 28-28; KU over OSU and K-State, 19-41, 20-54.
Timmons did not pinpoint any KU runner for the individual title because "they have been running so close." All seven KU runners in last Saturday's Federation meet placed in the top 11.
Two freshmen, Rich Elliot, Oak Park, Ill., and Doug Smith, Sioux City, Iowa, have been the Jayhawks' most consistent leaders. Smith won the KU Invitational and the KU-OSU dual, and took second in the State Federation meet. Elliot placed second in the OSU Jamboree and the SIU meet.
In the KU invitational the Hawk harriers took all first six places.
So far this season Big Eight teams have fared as follows
Times in cross country are not a good measure of performances and can be misleading for comparisons.
"Times are difficult to evaluate from one course to another—weather, mud, hills, differences in length are important influences." Timmons explained.
In addition to Elliot and Smith, the KU entry includes: Thorn Bigley, San Diego, Calif. sophomore; Jay Mason, Hobbs, N.M., sophomore; Mike Solomon, Westminster, Calif., sophomore; Roger Kathol, Wichita junior; and Paul Mattingly, South Haven junior.
Remaining in the Jayhawks' cross country schedule are the Central Collegiate Championships at Chicago, Nov. 16, and the National Collegiate Championships at Van Courtland Park, N.Y., Nov. 25.
