8 Monday, September 11, 1978 University Daily Kansan Dickey, Aggies age KU 37-10 in season opener By LEON UNRUH Sports Editor Things were looking bright Saturday for the Rams, who had promised the New Deal of football. The new multiple scheme offense was clicking—sort of against Texas & M&M. The first 10 passes had been completed. Only five penalty yards had been assessed against the young Hawks. Mike Hubach didn't lose the talent of his kicking foot. But it was the same old bunch of problems that did in the Jayhawks 37-10. Last year against the Aggies, KU used two quarterbacks. This time, thanks to a bellringing blow and a bruised leg, KU used three. Fumbles and interceptions, which aborted many drives a year ago, arose and set up A&M's crunchblow. "They didn't make many mistakes," said Jake Moore. "We did and that was the difference." And KU's defense, which had spent last year building a reputation as a sieve, allowed 444 yards. KU's sputtering offense gained 137. &M's Curtis Dickey, America's fastest double球员, played against Kansas FOR THE FIRST half and a few minutes of the third quarter, KU played even ball with the 16th ranked Aggies. Then everything fell apart for the Jayhawks. &M&M had just grabbed a touchdown on a pass from quarterback Mike Moley to split end David Teague to lead 17-10 with 6:38 left in the third quarter. Then came trouble, wearing the familiar guide of a KU pitchout. On the first play following, A&M's kickoff, fullback Sam Smith humbled a toss from second-second quarterback Jiff Hines at the KU 22. The Aggies recovered in three plays, and Sam Smith gained a 39-10 loss. Mosley connected with Teague for a 17-yard touchdown pass. "Our intensity after that wasn't what it had been," he said. That fumble, Moore said, was the turning point. The second Mosley-Teague touchdown player and third greatest from KU players, coach and fan. THE DISPUTE WAS WHAT teague, who caught the ball while leaning over the right sideline of the end zone, had managed to nut a foot down in bounds. Teague said, "I knew it was going to be close. I was just trying to drag my back foot to keep it in bounds. I looked at the ref and he said 'Yes.'" KU free safety Leroy Irvin argued in vain "I know it wasn't good. I'll show up on the plane," he said. "I felt like going back in and play, but that was kind of the turning point." "I said to the ref, 'You sure that was good?' He said "Yeah," so I just left. Coach Moore told us not to say anything so we just keen quiet." Defensive tackle Mike Beal said the other men in striped suits wanted to stay clear of the "I went up to the other ref and he wouldn't say anything." 'Beal said.' KANSAN Sports A MAN OBVIOUSLY not bound by Moore's advice ran from the stands, and to the cheering of KU fans and the laughter of the crowd. He was Thomas Kincken, who had made the call. Moore wouldn't blame the disputed touchdown call for the loss. "I was disappointed we didn't respond to adversity better than we did," he said. "We were supposed to be like the best team." In fact, three quarterbacks had that chance. Starter Brian Bettek was running the drive that eventually tied the game at 10-10 before a dazing blow to the head at the end of a 23-yard run. He handed off once and ran twice more before leaving the game. HINES TOOK the team the rest of the way for the Jayhaws' only touchdown. He was six-for-ix passing for 36 yards, and was KU's third-best runner with 12. But he left after the third quarter, hobbled by a bruised leg. Third stringer Harry Sydney was called upon to rally a team that had lost all momentum. He hit just two of five passes and had one intercepted. it was hardly the same kind of appearance as the one in which he was featured in Flip Wilson's TV special filmed on campus last week. In that game, be came in late and guided the 'Hawks to a roaring victory. "I never even thought about it," he said. "I never even thought about it," he said. The Aggies lit up their side of the seaside fielder goal with 5-6 to 1 and first quarter, Barret kicker Joe Frankman hosted the goal. They had started from their own 37-yard line, taking 12 plays, each gaining eight or fewer yards. After the first period, A&M had 104 yards running to KU's 14. KANSAS TOOK the lead with 6:35 left in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by tailback Tracy Lacy on a pitch from Hines. Hines, after coming in for Bethek, ran four consecutive keepers to move the ball to the Hubach kicked his school-consecutive point-after, extending his school-record a streak. &M rolled back on a 77-yard drive highlighted by two 15-yard Moss passes and a 6-9 yard touchdown spurt by Dickey around the right end. The halftime score Hubach scored KU's last points—a 28- yard field goal—with 6:46 left in the game. Defensive end Jarry Calvo had sacked the Giants' loose, and then gorged like KLA to force him. KU nibbled to the six at one point. The Jayhawks then lost five yards on a kickoff. The Titans were down. THEN THE AGGIES—picked as the only challenger to Arkansas and Texas for the Southwest. Conference crown—began running the show their way. The two Mosley-Teague passes followed shortly. After the fourth quarter began.

We learn from our mistakes.” FRANKLIN MISSED d field goal attempt, but after Sydney fumbled on KU's next possession, third-string Aggie backluff Rover Wiley scored on a 10-vard run.

Underdog Missouri boots Irish Rv United Press International Notre Dame gets shut out less often than presidents are elected. The Irish had been blanked only six times in the last 28 years and only twice at home when 17-point underdog Missouri rolled into South Bend, Ind., last Saturday. The Tigers were supposed to be a tune-up for Notre Dame's rugged upcoming three-week season. Notre Dame futures Michael on national television and arch-rivals Purdue and Michigan State. But Missouri used a brilliant defensive effort and a 32-9ard field goal by sophomore Jeff Brockhaus to defeat the Irish, 3-4, and knock out the Tigers in his debut as head coach of the Tigers. It was the first time Notre Dame had been shut out at home since 1966, when Michigan State turned the trick, and the first time the Irish had been blanked anywhere since 1965, they scored a scoreless tie against Miami (Fla.). "I CAN'T SAY enough about my defense," said Powers. "This defense belies it, test it and never gave up. But we did it out here and we got win. So did we it. It was a great game to win." and screamed at the top of their lungs, trving to shake down the thunder. How Missouri did it was simple: stopping the Irish twice on third quarter fourth-and-one situations in the Tiger 11 and then using a bobbled snap by bobby Joe Restic to stop the Tiger 12, which would that have tied the game. All the while, 59,075 partisan Irish fans stood on their feet In other games, second-ranked Oklahoma edged Stanford, 35-29; 10th-ranked Nebraska topped California, 38-26; 19th-ranked Iowa state downed Iowa, 23-49; 16th-ranked Oklahoma downed fogged Kansas State, 31-4; and Wichita state uset Oklahoma State, 20-10.
