Surprising Cyclones sporting 3-3 record
By LUIS F. SANTOS
Kansan Sports Writer
Iowa State's Cyclones will be anxious to rebound from the 42-7 defeat they suffered to Oklahoma and will be trying to stay above the .500 mark when they meet the third-ranked KU Jayhawks tomorrow at Ames.
The Cyclones will be starting many sophomores, and I-State has made some major changes in preparation for its Homecoming game.
Rookie head Coach Johnny Majors has switched Ben King to fullback and promoted sophomore Jock Johnson to the starting tailback slot. Two other sophs -linebacker Jerry Fiat and end Tom Trotter -have moved into defensive starting spots, and senior Sam Campbell has earned the tight end post.
KU Coach Pepper Rodgers, whose Jayhawks are heavily-favored, is still not looking past the Cyclones. "They hustle and they play with great determination," he said. "They're well-coached and they have speed, which gives them a chance against anybody."
Iowa State played a close 28-14 loss to KU last season, and Rodgers commented:
"We got a couple of lucky plays to beat them."
KU leads in the series with Iowa State, 27-16-5.
The Cyciones feature the nation's leading kickoff return artist in 188-pound wingback Jeff Allen, who owns a 31.4 average. In split end Otto Stowe; ISU has the Big Eight's second-leading receiver. Stowe has been sitting out two weeks with an injury.
Senior quarterback John Warder will be leading the Cyclones. Rodgers considers him one of the most-improved quarterbacks in the conference. Last year, Warder completed 80 of 196 passes for three touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
Already, the Cyclones boast a better record than pre-season experts had forecast at 3-3. Iowa State won its opener in Majors' coaching debut against Buffalo, 28-10, then lost to still unbeaten Arizona, 21-12.
After a 28-20 victory over Brigham Young, the Cyclones lost their conference opener to Colorado. 28-18.
The Cyclones intercepted six passes to spoil Kansas State's league opener in a new stadium, 28-14.
Other probable offensive starters against the Hawks will be tackles Jerry Berna and Tim Jeffries, guards Billy Easter and Mike Bliss, and center Wayne Beske.
Defensively, I-State will start John Gaigloin at middle guard, George Dimitri and Andy Waller at tackles, Ted Reimer and Potter at ends, Flat and Steve Powers at linebackers. In the secondary, three sophomores—Tom Hilden, Bobby Williams, and Tony Washington—will be aided by junior Tom Elliot.
She Had Company
ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Miss Marie Litwa witnessed three holes-in-one at the Normandie golf course within six days. Golfer Harry Hess aced the 16th hole, and Jay Femmer aced No. 3, the same hole on which Miss Litwa got her ace.
