Kansas Dumps K-State in Kicking Game
The accurate toe of a virtually unknown sophomore . . . vastly improved offensive line . . . hard running group of backs led by 171-pound Homer Floyd. This combination gave Kansas a 21-12 victory over Sunflower rival Kansas State in Manhattan.
John Suder, playing only his second varsity game but kicking like a veteran of many battles, provided the toe which put the Jayhawkers on top to stay.
The Cincinnati, Ohio, halfback, kicked a 17-yard field goal with 1:14 remaining in the third quarter which gave Kansas a 13-12 edge. Earlier, Suder had kicked a perfect 21-yard field goal which put the Jayhawkers on top 3-0 in the first quarter.
Kansas also used an eager forward wall to aid it in the victory. Both of Coach Jack Mitchell's first two units moved the Wildcat linemen out and back to give KU's backs room to run for consistent gains.
Jayhawk Runners Defeat Sooners
The Kansas cross-country team won its 20th straight dual meet this weekend as it defeated Oklahoma University 20-39.
Displaying its usual depth by placing six men in the top seven position, the KU team is now looking ahead to the Big Eight meet this Saturday at Oklahoma.
Gail Hodgson was the only OU runner to break through the Kansas monopoly. He defeated Bill Mills for first place with a time of 14:57.
KU runners placing behind Mills were Berry Crawford, Brian Travis, Tom Skutka, Clif Cushman and Dan Ralston in that order.
The KU soccer team, undefeated in last year's play, dropped its fourth game this season 3-2 to Oklahoma University Saturday.
Soccer Team Loses To Sooner Squad
Kansas scores were made by Pietro Dalestra and Pat Harrington. Harrington and Mario Vargas, cocaptains of the team, played an outstanding game, Coach Jerry Var兰 said.

And, for the third straight year, Floyd proved to be a thorn in the backs of the Wildcats. Although all of KU's backs looked good, it was the Massillon, Ohio, senior who pulled the Jayhawkers out of the hole.

Floyd Intercepts Pass
Midway in the fourth quarter, with Kansas owning only a slim 13-12 margin, Floyd intercepted a K-State pass at midfield and raced to the Wildcat 46-yard line. From there he led the Jayhawks downfield to the touchdown, which with 5.55 left in the game, put the hard-fought battle on ice. The speedy halfback, who played brilliantly on both offense and defense, darted over the goal from the two-yard line.
Then, Duane Morris skirted around his own right end to give the Jayhawkers a 21-12 lead which let the loyal 1,800 Kansas fans who made the trip to Manhattan breathe easy for the first time in the afternoon.
KU's victory, its third straight in the 56-game series, marked the 36th time the Jayhawkers have come out on top. It left the Jayhawkers
with the opportunity to even their season's mark at .500 when they meet the Nebraska Cornhuskers this Saturday in Lawrence. Kansas now stands 3-4 for the season, while K-State has a 2-5 record.
Saturday's game was typical of the hard-fought annual battles between the two intra-state rivals during recent years. Neither team was able to mount a commanding lead until KU sewed the game up late in the fourth period. Although KU held the Wildcats on the ground, K-State's new spread offense provided a constant passing threat to Jayhawker defenders.
The power of the spread offense was displayed on the first play of the second quarter when Wildeat quarterback Les Krull tossed a 50-yard pass to halfback Ben Grosse who gathered the ball in and raced the remaining 23 yards to pay dirt. An attempted pass for the extra point failed, but K-State still had a 6-3 bargain.
Wildcat Power Evident
KU was not to be denied though. The Jayhawkers took the Wildcat's kickoff after the touchdown and marched 70 yards in 14 plays for a
touchdown and a 10-6 lead. Bobby Marshall, who along with Floyd ground out most of the yardage, went the final two yards for the score. Morris kicked the extra point.
Grosse Narrows Gap
K-State narrowed the margin to 10-9 when Grosse kicked the first of his two field goals with four seconds remaining in the first half. The three-pointer was set up when Max Falk intercepted a Kansas pass and ran 44 yards to the KU 28. K-State moved to the KU 15, at which point Grosse booted the field goal from 22 yards.
The Wildcats came roaring out in the second half, and with six minutes gone, wiped out the KU halftime margin. Grosse's toe was once again the factor. After the Jayhawkers had stalled a 69-yard drive, Grosse booted a perfect kick from the 16-yard line to give K-State a 13-12 lead.
But Kansas was still after a victory. And Mitchell's faith in his second unit proved justified. The KU alternate unit moved 57 yards to the K-State 11 to set up Suder's field goal which gave the Jayhawkers a lead they never gave up.
