6 Monday, October 23, 1978 University Daily Kansan Jayhawk butterfingers give 21-7 victory to OSU By LEON UNRUH Sports Editor In the beginning, it looked as if Kansas might upset Oklahoma State. In the end, KU was done in by—no surprises and families as the Cowboys skuck it to the beach. "It wasn't one of our better games," head coach Bud Moore said yesterday. "We didn't play well at all. Our execution on offense was very poor." Nine fumbles—four of them lost—and a 5-for-20 passging game that started out, 4-for-9 didn't help. Injuries to two members of KU's starting backfield and to five KU linebackers put the iceing on the cake for the Cowboys. KANSAS HASN"T beaten OSU since 1972. The Japanhas were left with their fourth consecutive defeat, a 1-6 overall record and a 0-3 mark in the conference. Oklahoma State, a pre-season pick as the league's patry, rose to 2-5 overall and a 2-1 league record with its second consecutive victory. AIRDROSE HASN'T BETTER OFFERED OBJECTION in the first quarter on a seven-yard run by Mike Higgins. But Oklahoma State scored touchdowns in each of the last three quar- KU got the ball at the Oklahoma State 41-yard line after backer Monte Carbonell covered one of the Cowbys' six fumbles. The drive was aided by a 27-yard pass interference penalty and an eight-rank run to the OSU 2 by Sam Smith. That was the last time KU performed well on offense. Oklahoma State took the initiative and the ball and watched injured Jawhayas camped off the field. DAN WAGONER, who had 16 yards on four carries, left the game with a bruised hip in the second quarter. His absence at halfbacks allowed Vernier and halffbacks Jimmy Little and David Verser, When Wagoner left the game, so did KU's wishbone offense, which was replaced by the slower pro-set. won did not make the trip because of injuries. "We used it early until we lost Wagoner," Moore said. "Then we didn't have enough people to run it." Kansas could hardly move the ball after the washbone was dropped. Oklahoma State, thanks to injuries to KU's defensive squad, had little trouble going where it wanted. Gone from KU's linebacking corps were Seellars Young, John Algee, Buford Johnson, Joe McCraney and Tom McNorton. FOR A while, KU was using defensive end Chris Tubaren behind the line. The Cowboys used more than nine minutes of the second quarter on a 94-yard drive that rang up seven first downs. The Cowboys got two touchdowns on a one-yard sneak KU quarterback Harry Sydney completed his first pass in 10 attempts just before halftime, but the Jay hawks were still a long way from a touchdown. The Cowboys made it 14-7 early in the third quarter following a fumble on a Sydney-Higgins pitch at the KU 40. Freshman hard back terry Tussellentrop picked up 26 of those yards before Burk scored, again on a one-yarder. Sydney was sacked on the first play after that, furnishing away the ball. But Burk was held up by a long run. Aided by a pair of late-hit penalties against Buford Johnson and running by fullback Worley Taylor, OSU men scored the Cowboys up and forced a field goal attempt. JUNIOR DEFENSIVE BACK Dave Harris, who has spent every kicking attempt this season diving in front of the kickers, finally backed a kick. Defensive Jim Zidk scooped it up and ran 50 yards to the OSU 20. It was all in vain. A clipping penalty could not be applied. KU could get the OSU 33 before SES Formula II. Oklahoma drove all the way and scored its third touchdown with 9:59 left in the game. Suellentrup did the honors on a five-yard pitch play. "Every opportunity we had in the second half was blown by some mistake." Moore The problems, he said, were caused by immaturity and a lack of mental toughness. "The only thing that teaches that is experience." Jeff Hines, who had not played since he was hurt early in the season, sutped up at the hospital.

Running 'Huskers knew explosion was due By United Press International By United Press International What concerns Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne is that everything has been coming too easily for his Cormuskers lately. Nebraska lost its opener to the No. 1 Alabama, 20-3, but has since reeled off six straight victories, tipping 48 points offensively on four occasions. The Cornhuskers whipped a supposedly good Colorado team by a 29-6 victory, and half offensive that carried Nebraska from a 14-14 halftime deadlock to its 11th straight victory over the Bufs. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Sports The 52 points increased Nebraska's output this season to 287 and enabled the Cornhuskers to pass Oklahoma this week as the national lead in offense with an over 60% playoff point game. NEBRASKA ROLLED up 641 total yards and BirkRens the钾骂 with the 132 of the yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Tom Sorey hit tight end Junior Milla with a 42-yard scoring pass, Tim Wurth scooted 34 yards for another score, Craig Johnson added a 32-yard TD run and I.M. Hipp a 1-varder. "It seemed that no matter what we tried, we got five or 10 yards a crack." Observe whether he was going to win, "be said, but rather when we would win. It was loped and I'm surprised. I thought maybe the sample of touchdowns, but they just fell apart." Billy Todd also booted net goals of 17-24 and 45 yards to keep Neakada in a loss. "I think we've got something psychological over Colorado," Berns said.

"A complaint was filed against Colorado because of Decker's participation in the meet," KU women cross country coach Terl Anderson said. "Decker woken up early and there was a question as to whether or not she was academically eligible to compete this year. The meet was marred by a controversial allegation. Colorado had competing on their team an athlete, Mary Decker, whose team was defeated by some of the teams, including KU. "HER PARTICIPATION in the meet did individual standing, the final team and individual standings." The Big Eight's individual winner was Marissa's Debbie Vetter, who had a time of 17.0%.

"They underwent a bad case of 'freshmanitis,'" she said. "They were too excited so they went out too fast and then they didn't have enough left at the end—they just died.

By NANCY DRESSLER Associate Sports Editor KU's men golfers finished their fall season on a winning note Friday when they won their own invitational tournament at the Alvarnar Hills course. Kansas topped a field of five teams with a 328 total. KU was followed by Missouri, 338; Nebraska, 393; Wichita State, 396; and Kansas State, 405. Associate Sports Editor Coach John Hanna said improved team playfulness is the victory, which is its first of the season. Team scoring was determined by the lowest five scores for 18 holes from each sixteenth hole. "It'll make the winter a lot shorter," he said. The tournament marked the end of work for the team until next spring. Individually, KU also placed first. Jim Dolve's 74 netted him medalist honors. which he shared with Wichita State's Rod Nuckels, who shot an identical score. Other individual scores for KU were Mark Steiner, 78; John Layne, 78; Doug Anderson, 75. The win ended a season in which the year had shot improve 20% but last year had past cell in tournaments. For instance, Kansas' team total in the Air Force Academy tournament earlier this fall was 43 strokes better than the team's score in the same tournament last year. But the Jayhawks managed no better than 16th in a field of 29 teams. The team can now put aside golf for a while and turn to other pastimes until spring, when it will begin its main season, coming off a win. "We'll have an intramural basketball team," Hanna said, "to keep in shape." What do golfers do in the winter? Morgado's running paces Chiefs,17-3 KANSAS CITY, Mo.

He forged to the front at about the eight-mile mark, duelled with Garry Burtion for the next seven miles, palmed in pain and easy victory.
