Jayhawk offense clicks, but turnovers doom KU

BOULDER, Cole—A new pair of offensive movers almost led Kansas to its second uprung of the season, but an old enemy movers—fumbled the game to 17-7.
A fumble on the CU 4-yard line, an interception and an errant field goal attempt blemised a KU attack that more than 50 percent missed. He first second-half touchdown of the season.
Third-string quarterback Harry Sydney and halfback Mike Higgins, who wasn't even listed on the depth chart, combined for 140 of KU's 188 yards on the ground. Sydney also passed for 79 more yards and a touchdown.
Sydney, who had been tossed into a couple of games with orders to salvage unavailable losses, was 6-for-12 passing. Higgins, who hadn't even touched a ball this season, had a 34-yard run to highlight its 82-ward day.
Kansas scored its touchdown on a 25-yard pass from Sydney to freshman tailback Dan
"I THINK I amored I can play in the Big
Marathon, quarterback," Sydney, a
sanctionaire.
Higgins, a junior who has been in coach Bud Moore's "dog house" since last year—perhaps because of a lack of blocking—considered himself back in good standing.
"I was surprised," he said. "I had to get a chance to play.
"I feel I played fairly well. I could have played a lot better, but the first game in the Big Eight is a lot more than playing in a pre-season game.
"My blocking is a whole lot better. I've been working harder on it than on my running."
Last Thursday, Moore had said the team would be running "the same old stuff" against the Bufs. But it wasn't until the team became obvious how old the "stuff" would be.
THE JAYHAWKS opened the quarter at its own 22 Yard line with the wishbone, which was junked in midseason last year. For the series, Moore pulled out his two freshman running backs and put in some veterans.
The 'Hawks moved the ball to the CU 34 before Mike Hubach put it away.
Colorado opened the scoring with a 33-
yard field gate by Pete Dadiothi with 3.18
seconds.
The Buffs' first touchdown came shortly before the first half ended. Quarterback Bill Solomon used 10 plays and hit tight end Greg Howard on an 25-yard pass to make it 9-4. Dadiots kicked the point after the touchdown.
Kansas made its first threat midway through the third quarter. An interception gave the Ravens the CU 34, and Higgins scored 32 yards in his first play before a safety brought him down.
THEN COLORADO's defense showed why it is so well respected—and ranked eight in the country in rushing defense. It stopped Sam Smith for no gain and sacked Sydney for no gain until he凹地 Bobby Harro, end, a defender counted the ball out of his hands at the CU 4.
A dozen plays later, fullback James
The Jayhawks, behind 17-0, stopped CU on its next drive with a fourth-down stand at the KU 14. KU's drive, however, died when Sydney was intercepted at the KU 49.
mayberry rolled four yards over the middle tnacore.
Kansas got the ball with 11:48 in the game and began to grind out yardage. Sydney andiggins guided KU to the Colorado 10. Then freshman fullback Tim Jones lost three yards and a fumble on a reverse pitch lost nine yards to the CU 23.
However, Franklin King, who played both offensive guard and defense tackle to fill in for the injured front line, wasn't hanging his head.
At third and goal, Sydney found Wagner wandering toward the left corner of the end zone and put a pass over his left shoulder for a touchdown with 7:51 left.
A pass interference call gave KU the ball at the CU 31, but there the offense stalled. Mike Huacha's 45-yard field goal attempt was wide left with a 92 left.
"We were in the ballgame the whole time," he said. "We knew it. They knew it. We should have scored two more times. That's a fact."

Cheering fans welcome Rovals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—They were down—again—but the fans of the Kansas City Royals to be a long way from being out.
A crowd of 2,000 cheering faithful greeted the Royals yesterday afternoon as the American League West champions returned to New York for the game to the New York Yankees in four games.
The 2-1 defeat Saturday night marked the third straight season the Royals won their division only to fall to the Yankees in the playoffs.
Banners reading "Royals You Did One
Hell-of-a Job. Thanks." We're Still Loyal
Those who turned out at Kansas City International Airport to meet the Royals' charter flight were disappointed, but few appeared to be dispirited.
to the Royals' and "1787, No. 1 in Our Hearts; 1797, No. 1 in the World" expressed the fans' defiant optimism as they crowded into the armour and around two charter buses outside.
Royals memorabilia dotted the gathering. A vendor hawker Royales souvenir pennants. Two young girls wore T-shirts proclaiming "I'm a Queen." A couple beaded on her jets, "I Love George Brett."
The crowd roared when the first Royal, catcher Darr尔 Porter, stepped through the terminal. The fans cheered repeatedly upon the appearance of each player.
A few of the Royals—including pitcher Dennis Leonard and outfielder Joe Zebad—smiled or grinned, but most were grim-faced as they filed onto the buses.
Manager Whitey Herzog, General
Manager Joe Burke, the players and team officials walked briskly and silently through the airport. Only a handful of the players acknowledged the gathering.
But there was no dampening the determined enthusiasm of the fans. The appearance of center fielder Amos Otis prompted the familiar "A.O.I. A.O.I. A.O.I."
Then the Royals' playoff hero, George Brett, appeared and the crowd shrieked deliriously as he quickly vanished into a bus.
"We want George! We want George! We want George!" they demanded.
Perhaps the Kansas City third baseman was just exhausted; maybe he had said all he could in New York; or maybe the disdainment was just too great.
There were to be no words of encouragement this day. Brett stayed in his seat while the bus pulled from the fan-packed curb and slowly drove away.
