Edwards Snares Crucial Fourth Quarter Pass
Chief Defense Braces For Bobby Douglass
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Kansas City's tough defense will focus its attention on Chicago quarterback Bobby Douglass tonight when the Chiefs battle the Bears in a nationally televised National Football League came.
Arrowhead Stadium, which seats 78,138 is soldout for the interconference game.
Steelers Force Raider Errors
OAKLAND (AP)—Steeler defensive end Dwight White led a relentless pass rush to set up a 17-9 Pittsburgh victory over the Oakland Raiders vestedly.
White caught two of the Steeleers' four interceptions of Daryle Lamonica, who took over as Oakland's quarterback after a first-strike twisted his right leg in the second quarter.
Cornerback Mel Blount made an endzone interception in the third period, protecting a 14-3 Steeler lead, after the Raiders had driven to the Pittsburgh two-vard line.
Pittsburgh safety Mike Wagner made another key defensive play, recovering a fumble at the Oakland eight yard line to set up a Steeler touchdown.
Pittsburgh, first in the American Football Conference Central division, is 8-1, Oakland, 5-3, stayed ahead in the AFC Conference Central division, for the lead by beating Chicago tonight.
Willie Lanier, the Chiefs' standout linebacker, didn't hesitate to single out Douglass as the Chicago player Kansas City must stop if it expects to win and catch up with the Oakland Raiders in the American Football Conference West Division race.

"He has the ability to run," Lanier says of Dogloss, "but I'm sure he doesn't want to."
"He'll try to establish the Bears' running attack, then he gets their passing game, and he'll run if he has to. We'll try to shut off him or force him to a running situation."
Douglass demonstrated last week how well he could run when he scored all four touchdowns and ran 19 times for 100 yards in Chicago's 31-17 triumph over Green Bay.
He also completed 10 of 15 passes for 118 yards. Dougiss is 12th in rushing in the National Football Conference with a 5-2 yard average.
Mike Livingston, replacing the ailing Alen Dawson, will start for the second consecutive week at quarterback for the Chiefs. Dawson has a foot injury.
The Chiefs turned in what probably was their best performance of the season last week in a 19-0 victory over the San Diego Chargers.
Against San Diego, the Chiefs's defense didn't let the Chargers move inside the K.C.
It has been a season of pressure games for the University of Kansas Jayhawks, and head coach Dan Fambrough isn't relaxing vet.
The "Hawks won the biggest pressure game of the season Saturday, beating the Colorado Buffalos, 17-15, in Memorial Stadium before 34,000 fans, scouts from the Liberty, Sun and Peach Bowls and a win over the Rangers, assuring KU of its first winning season in five years and virtually clinched a postseason bowl game berth.
Indeed it hasn't. The 'Hawks' margin of victory or defeat in their last six games totals 13 points. They have had one-point losses to Tennessee and Nebraska, two-point losses to Oklahoma and Colorado, a tie with Oldahoma State and a seven-point victory over Kansas State.
"It feels great to have a winning season,
'Fambridge said yesterday, "but it hasn't
happened."
This will be the first regular season game between the Chefs and the Bears. Kansas City has a 4-31 record, and Calico, a member of the NFC Central Division, is 3-4.
"THEHE BEEN so many key games," Fambough said. "The K-State game was a pressure game. We came close at Nebraska and lost. We felt we had to beat Iowa State. Then we tied Oklahoma State, and the pressure was really on."
"The television coverage of the game was a factor," the coach said, "and the game became more important as the week progressed."
The Hawks knew they had to win the Colorado game to stay in the race for the Big Eight title and to have a chance for a bowl game. Fambrough said.
The week is over, the Jayhawks won and can finish the season no worse than 6-4-1. Farnbrough said the pressure would be greater for his players, but he really was unsure.
"After a game like that one (the CU game) you figure that you can relax a little bit," he said. "But I look ahead our next visit to Alabama. I'm going to relax in the spring."
TRI ESONERS held the lead in the Big Eight Saturday, defeating Missouri 31-3. Nebraska moved into a second place tie with KU, after its 31-7 romp over Iowa State. Oklahoma State won its first game in a month, beating Kansas State 29-8.
The teams battled evenly until five minutes into the second quarter when the opportunistic KU defense forced a Buff mistake. CU quarterback Dave Williams, who had thrown a fumble, tumbled at his own 40, and KU tackle Fedor Dillon caught the ball in mid-air.
The 'Hawks dominated 28 minutes of the first half in their game with Colorado. KU scored with the game just four minutes old and the opposing kickbacker Mike Love hit a 23-yard field goal.
KU quarterback Dave Jaynes then used only six plays to score. After tailback Delvin Williams lost a yard on a sweep, Jaynes went to the air. He hit split end Emmett Edward for seven yards, fullback Robert Miller for 13 and then Edwards again for five. With the ball on the CU 16, Jaynes ran for three yards to the seven, Jaynes then pitched to Williams who drove around the end for the score.
THE 'HAWKS HAD a chance to expand their 10-10 lead when CU's Williams fumbled again at his 40. KU nossegard Mike Lemon recovered the ball, but the 'Hawks were halted and Love's field goal attempt from the 34 fall short.
The Buffs roared back and pounded out 91 yards in nine plays to make the score 10-7, with only a run scored.
KU regained its 10-point margin on its first possession of the second half. After a 32-yard punt return by Bruce Adams, the 'Hawks moved from the CU 42. With second down and 10 at the CU 26, Jaynes fired a pass toward Edwards. The Lakers, known as Colorado was called for interference at their six yard line. One play later, Jaynes found a hole in the
"The PLAY was over, and that guy was hitting me in the head," Baird said. "I was feeling very scared."
The 'Hawks already short on linebackers because of injuries to Steve Towle and Odell Weidner, lost Dean Baird on CU's next series. Baird and Colorado offensive guard Dennis Cimmo were thrown out of the game for fighting.
The Buffs rebounded again, however, and scored early in the fourth quarter, after a 14-play, 89-yard drive. Williams went on a run with a four-hit victory, version making the score KU 71, CU 85.
he was the game for the 'Hawks. KU stopped a drive when Rocky Bron intercepted his pass on the day and KU's 2nd of the year. The theft broke a KU record of 21 interceptions in a season.
THE 'HAWK DRIVE stalled on the CU 38,
and Marc Harris nupted to the six.
Two plays after the kickoff, Jaynes was thrown for an 11-yard loss back to the KU 10. On a third-and-20 play, Jaynes threw to Edwards on the KU sideline. The split end looked over one shoulder, on his left foot and caught the ball on his finger tips for a 23-yard gain and a first down. Edwards finished the day with seven receptions for the KU game. he now has 42 catches for the season (19). Jaynes KU all-time receiving list, behind John Mosier, who played for the Jayhawks from 1967 to 1969.

from the mountains moved on the ground to the KU 37. With less than minute left, he ran out of room and hit the middle for 14 yards but was knocked loose from the ball by Kowatch and cornerback James Bowman. Safety Rubie Mudge fell on his head and broke his left arm. The Hawks travel to Norman next week
The 'Hawks travel to Norman next week to battle the Oklahoma Sooners.
"They are a super football team," Fambrighau said. "I don't think there's any doubt that they are the best team in the country."
The Sooners feature the most powerful of wishbone attacks. They demolished Texas, 52,13 and tied Southern Cal., 7, when the Trojans were ranked No. 1 in the country.OU quarterback Steve Daville, tailbuck Joe Crawford, and quarterback Jared Goff all were awarded a 4000 credit in matchup.
"ITS SO TOUGH to defense their attack." Fambrough said. "They have so many weapons, and they do more things from a wishbone than anyone else. If you concentrate on one area they will pick you apart in another way."
The Sooners lead the league in rushing defense, mainly on the strength of interior linemen Leroy, Dewey and Lacious Seliman. They also have a lot of such combination to play for Oklahoma.
"We'll probably put the ball in the air a bit." Farnbrough said.
The Big Eight has been called Oklahoma and the seven dwarfs by some, but Fambrough said that the Jayhawks were not in awe of the Sooners.
"This team has played national powers before," he said. "The situation is similar to when we faced Tennessee, except that Oklahoma is a much better team."
But Fambrough admitted that KU would not stop the powerful Sooners, who are
averaging nearly 400 yards a game rushing, in their tracks.
"When you play a strong running team, they are going to gain ground," he said. "You've just got to try and take the big gainer away."
The players are obviously not counting themselves out.
"Our defense stuck together against Colorado, and we will stick together against Oklahoma." Lemon said. "If our offense scores, we'll beat them."
