KU's Christensen named top lineman
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—It's not very often that an offensive football player gets honored for knocking holes in the opposition's line, but Saturday it was hard not to notice the bruising performance put on by Kansas tackle Keith Christensen.
Christensen, a 6-4, 267-pounder, led the blocking waves that allowed the third-ranked Jayhawks to pile up 428 yards rushing—the most for a Kansas team since 1963—while beating Colorado 27-14.
More specifically, it was Christensen who opened the gaping holes for fullback John Riggins, who scored on touchdown runs of 21 and eight yards and piled up 162 yards for individual rushing honors.

Riggins, commenting on his 63-yard scamper to set up KU's first touchdown, said, "I never saw such a big hole in my life. Chris was doing a really great job, as he has all year."
For his performance, the big senior has been named Big Eight Lineman of the Week.
It was the 22nd consecutive game Christensen has started at offensive tackle for Kansas and the coaches termed it "one of his fiercest blocking games."
Coach Pepper Rodgers said, "Keith has been the leader of our offensive line all year. After viewing our game films and in our post-game talks, Keith Christensen has more than anyone else played great football."
Christensen edged Kansas State's John Stucky in the voting for the honor. Stuckey, a junior middle guard, blocked a punt which led to a Wildcat touchdown in the 35-20 loss to Oklahoma. He also recovered one Sooner fumble at the Oklahoma 25-yard line and was credited with seven solo tackles and seven assists.
Buffaloes lick KUgame wounds
BOULDER, Colo. (UPI)— Coach Eddie Crowder gave his University of Colorado Buffaloes the day off Monday as they licked their wounds from Saturday's 27-14 loss to Kansas.
Middle guard Bill Collins was on the doubtful list again for Saturday's meeting with Oklahoma State at Stillwater. Collins, out for two games earlier, reinjured a shoulder in the Kansas game.
Defensive end Mike Schnitker was nursing a pulled hamstring muscle in his right leg, but Crowder said he was expected to play against the Cowboys.
Quarterback Bob Anderson, held to his lowest total offense output as Kansas kept him to 32 yards, still has a chance to be Colorado's single season total offense leader. He needs 86 yards against Oklahoma State to set the record.
Light work out for football squad
Following their weekly procedure, the KU football squad worked out in sweatpants and pads for about an hour and a half yesterday. They spent most
of the time working against the different types of offense and defense used by their next opponent, Oklahoma.
