Sports quotes
"You must remember the U.S. did not have White (Jo Jo of Kansas) and Hosket (Bill of Ohio State) on that trip," stated the Yugoslav coach, Zervica Ranko, when talking about his team's wins over the U.S. last summer.
"Nor was Coach Ia (Henry of
"Nor was Coach Iba (Henry of Oklahoma State) with them. That makes a great difference."
Assault on record book continues in Big Eight
KANSAS CITY-Two kick-returning records and a host of major milestone attainments are imminent in the Big Eight Conference in what will be the biggest year of juggling names in the league's recordbook ever.
Iowa State's Jeff Allen, just a sophomore, needs only eight more kickoff return lengths to break the league mark of 516, set in 1964 by Oklahoma State's Larry Elliott. Allen, with two games left, has 509 for one of the nation's top figures.
Missouri's Roger Wehrli has been a punt return threat for three years and now needs only 44 more yards to break one of the Big Eight's oldest records, the 927 punt returning yards of
Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma all-American and former Kansas coach.
Also on top of a new standard is Kansas' Bill Bell, who is just five extra point successes away from moving by the seasonal mark of 39 held jointly by a pair of Oklahomans, Les Ming and John Weatherall. With an "average" day (six touchdowns) for the Jayhawk offense, Bell could beat the mark this week. He has kicked 35.
Set to become the ninth in Big Eight history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season is Oklahoma's Steve Owens, who leads the league with his 910, a record 151.7 per-game average after six games. When he hits four figures, he'll be the third in Oklahoma
Mizzou climbing high on offensive charts
KANSAS CITY—Missouri has been synonymous with defense in the Big Eight. It is no different this year.
But yes, Virginia, Mizzou does have a Tiger in its offensive tank, and it is growling for the league's offensive powers to move over and make room at the top.
For the second straight week the Missouri offensive machine, multi-running-backed organization, has pounded out over 500 yards in total offense—515 a week ago and another 545 against Oklahoma State last Saturday.
Twice more the Tigers have struck for over 450 yards, including a bulky 421 rushing against Colorado the day they controlled the ball for 111 shots from scrimmage and a national and Big Eight record 99 rushes.
the ground each week, second only to Kansas' 318.7. In the air the Missourians are at the 120 level. This gives them a 399.3 per game total average, second to Kansas' 451.0.
This, though, has not quite given the Tigers the top spot in any offensive division—yet. Missouri is cranking out 278.9 on
When it comes to scoring, the Tigers have been moving in fast company, too, getting 98 in their last two games (56 and 42), and scored 44 against Illinois earlier this year. This gives them a 28.3 per-game average, the most in 20 years, third behind Kansas' national-leading 42.6 and Oklahoma's 28.8 mark.
history to do so and the first since 1952 when both Billy Vessels (1,072) and Buck McPhail (1,023) did it.
Defensively, Missouri ranks as the Big Eight's best again this week, giving up an average of 216.9 total yards. The defense the Tigers throw against the rush is also tops in the league, 101.1. Second best is the Mizzou pass patrol, allowing only 115.7 a game, compared with Nebraska's 115.3.
Major milestone achievements will come thick and fast from now on, too, for the Big Eight's talented stable of quarterbacks and receivers. Oklahoma's Bobby Warmack, who attained the 3,000 career-passing level last week, needs only 135 more in total offense to become one of only three in league history to run and pass for over 4,0000.
More important, though, is the fact he needs but 382 in his final four games to break one of the Big Eight's oldest records, Paul Christman's 4,246 total offense for Missouri. Warmack has 1,144 this year and his career level is 3,865.
If Warmack does get the record, it might not last long. Colorado's Bob Anderson, though held to his career low last week, needs only 136 more to become the first in league history to go over 3,000 total yards in his first two seasons.
Both Warmack and Anderson are just shy of going over 1,000 passing for the year, a mark surpassed Saturday by Oklahoma State's Ronnie Johnson, the Big Eight's best now with his 1,015, a per-game average of 169.2.
Add Iowa State's John Warder, Kansas State's Lynn Dickey, Kansas' Bobby Douglass, and Nebraska's Ernie Sigler and seven will make the list—the most ever for one season. The 61 previous league seasons produced only 12 others who threw for over 1,000.
Warmack's chief target, Eddie Hinton, needs only 116 receiving lengths to join three others in the 700 class, including Kansas State's Dave Jones, holder of the Big Eight's career mark (1,634). Hinton now has 1,537, leaving him 97 back of Jones. Ready to move into the 1,000 receiving club is Nebraska's Tom Penney, who is 67 short of becoming the 12th to do so.
