Jayhawks use 52 players in romp
Bu LUIS F. SANTOS Kansan Sports Writer
Coach Pepper Rodgers hates to see that many points scored, and New Mexico coach Rudy Feldman thought Rodgers did all he could to keep the score down. But the Jayhawks disappointed both and scored an average of 1.13 points a minute against the New Mexico Lobos.
Every man in uniform played for KU; some who hadn't even practiced at the position they played, Rodgers said after the game. He wanted everybody to have a chance to be on the field on Parents Day. Fifty-two players got into the game for KU.
For the fans who didn't challenge the weather Saturday, here's what they missed: defensive end Vernon Vanoy kicking off three times, once into the end zone; kicker Bill Bell, knowing only two plays, leading the team at quarterback 65 yards for a touchdown; quarterback Jim Ettinger scoring his first collegiate touchdown; sophomore Dick Nelson dressing for the first time and scoring a touchdown on an 18-yard run after intercepting a Terry Stone pass; the Hawks scoring the first three times they had possession of the ball and ten out of the fourteen
Leaders for the Hawks were Douglass with 105 passing yards and Junior Riggins with 68 rushing yards. Rodgers thought Riggins played a good game.
times they had the ball; a touchdown scored every time Bobby Douglass lead the team.
"We just weren't any opposition for them," Feldman said. "It wasn't a contest with their first team against ours. They have an excellent team: well coached, good balance and good personnel," he added. "We didn't have any injuries, because we didn't hit anybody hard enough to get hurt."
KU wins Jamboree
Two KU freshmen, Rich Elliot, Oak Park k., Ill., and Doug Smith, Sioux City, Iowa, arrived second and third, respectively, with a time of 19:22. Elliot and Smith tied for first place in the three-mile trial at KU conducted to choose the participants for the Jamboree.
The University of Kansas opened its cross country competition with a victory at the Oklahoma State four mile Jamboree.
John Moss, Fort Hays State,
won the Jamboree.
The other KU tracksters performed in the following order: Jay Mason, sophomore, Hobbs, N.M., fifth, 19:25; Roger Kathol, junior, Wichita, seventh, 19:35; Mike Solomon, sophomore, Westminster, Calif., tenth, 19:44; Thorn Bigley, sophomore, San Diego, Calif., fourteen, 19:59 and Mike Hayes, senior, Centralia, Kan., seventeen, 20:16.
Track coach Bob Timmons announced the election of three captains. Mike Hayes was elected for cross country and George Byers and John Turk will co-captain the track squad.
Byers, Kansas City senior holds the world indoor record for the 60-yard low hurdles and
the all-time best time for the 120-yard high hurdles in the Big Eight. Turk, Wichita senior, holds the KU outdoor varsity high jump record.
KU's Glenn Cunningham,
Leon junior, finished second in
last year's Jamboree and KU
placed second.

"I hate to see that many points scored; I feel sorry for the guy across the field." They had a good coach and good players but just didn't have the manpower," Rodgers said.
"We scored a lot of points today," Rodgers said about the 68-7 victory. "But we won't score a lot against Nebraska next Saturday," he added.
Rodgers was happy becuase KU did not fumble or throw any interceptions.
"Karl Salb made some good defensive plays," Rodders said. The 275-pound defensive tackle lead the defensive statistics with three solo and three assisted tackles.
Kansas held New Mexico for a total of eight yards in the first half. The Lobos ended with a total of 127 yards.
After KU scored with 10:15 left in the first quarter, the Hawks scored again with 7:39 left after a fumble recovery by Emery Hicks on the New Mexico eight. Douglass completed a pass to George McCowan in the end zone for the TD.
