The Kansas football bocker room was dark and empty yesterday. The girls were taking the day off. It seemed as if everyone wanted to get out as soon as possible after the loss to Georgia.
"I think today was the most probably embarrassing day of my life," KU coach Don Fambrough said after the Jawaharson to Missouri, 5-4. "The ones I really want for our seniors. Some of those kids are special," Fambrough says they have to remember today for so long."
There was a lot to remember, and very little of it was good, from KU's standpoint. Hawkins's victory margin was the largest of the Hawkes' seven turnovers, five fumbles and two interceptions. Six of the turnovers led directly to Hawkes touchdowns.
Most of those disasters came in the fourth quarter. There was no score through the first half, but in the second halffire. Missouri added another seven points in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter it was a win.
AND EACH OF those points came after a fumble or an interception had given Missouri the ball within KU's 82-vard-line.
"If we had planned all that, I don't think could have made it work like it did." It was clear they were telling those kids quitting—it just got to the point where something was going to go wrong and we were forced to quit.
But Missouri had the touch, from Phil Bradley's 14 of 36 passing performance, to Gerry Ellis' 18 yards on 18 rushing attempts and scored in the Tigers收获 and accepted.

Birmingham, Ala., against the South Carolina Gamecocks (8-3). The Tigers were invited to the bowl after Kentucky, the bowl for first choice, lost to Tennessee Saturday.
"I feel the boat trip is a good reward for our players." Missouri coach Warren Patterson says he has felt selfless selves the entire season. The last four or five weeks we started making船兵 us on the water.
In the last five weeks, the Tigers defeated Colorado 13-7, lost to Kansas State 19-3, lost to Nebraska 23-20, defeated Iowa State 18-9 and lost to Oklahoma 24-22.
NOT EVERYTHING went right for the Tigers, but it made little difference. Kansas defenders intercepted four Missouri passes and forced turnovers, but could not convert the turnovers into scores.
"That's the most interceptions we've had at the beginning of the season. Kirby Cristie and Jake Butler were putting a lot of pressure on Bradley, and there was a great effort from the defensive line."
"Missouri just scored when they had to score." Criswell said.
KU couldn't score at all, until Lester Mickens scored on a 34-yard raze-dazzle halfback pass from Tim Jones with 3 seconds left in the game.
"WE DON'T have a sign of an offense," amphibu said. "Haven't we had one all season? No, we're not." The soccer hurt. It really hurt a football team like us when you have much depth to handle.
"We have to go out and rebuild the football program at the University of Kansas. I
don't know how long it is going to take, but
it's obvious we have a tremendous job ahead
of us because we are a long way from being
able to compete in this conference."
Rebuilding the football program will take a lot of recruiting. Fambrouch said.
Criswell said the Jayhaws should not have too much trouble recruiting.
"In a lot of ways, this game could help recruiting," he said. "A young man who has the potential to play well will probably be able to play quickly. I feel good about the young kids we have, but it's obvious we have to go out and rebuild, because most of our offensive and defensive lines."
"The University of Kansas is just first class—the way we're fed, the way we're treated. If I had it to do over, I'd come here again."
"C Coach Fambroigh and the other coaches have been really great," he said. "It's been an honor to work with them. With what the University of Kansas has to offer a football player, the coaches should not have any issues when they go out of the high schools recruiting.

KU revenue sports raid jucos searching for instant assistance
This story is the first of a two-part series on junior-college transfers. The second part will appear tomorrow.
By PAM CLARE
Sports Writer
Junior colleges are supposed to be steppingstones to major colleges for many students. They are that and more to Kansas' revenue sports.
For the football team and the men's and women's basketball teams, junior colleges have a great wealth of talent waiting to be mined.
Even though the football team just completed a 3-4 season, several juice transfers provided moments of excitement during the game. The team was the leading passer in the Big Eight conference, running back Walter Mack rushed for 125 yards against North Texas State and noseguard Stand Gardner led the team in tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
All three revenue sports are depending heavily on the performance of former junior college athletes.
There are 11 juco transfers on the football team, five on the men's basketball team, and four on the women's teams. Several of these players are starters and are expected to play, or have played, in games.
THE TWO BASKETBALL teams are counting on a pair of strong centers to help the team. A 6-10, 229-pound out of Tjeryx, Texas, Junior College, was signed to fill the shows of 7-footer Paul Mokkei. The defense will be led by Mass., Community College, will fill the spot left by the graduation of Adrian Mitchell, Both Mitchell and Mokkei are expected to play.
But there is a contrast between the attitudes of the football team and the two basketball teams regarding the recruitment of jcu athletes. The football team
haven't had a winning season since 1976 and during that time has accumulated a record of 7-25-1. The program is rebuilding under current head coach Dion Fambrough and the best way to acquire immediate training by recruiting junior college athletes.
"I FEEL GOOD about a lot of our young kids, but it is obvious we have to go and rebuild," Farnham唱 after KU ended its season with a 5-7 loss to Missouri. "I don't know how long it will take, but we're going to be able being able to compete in this conference.
On the other hand, the men's and women's basketball teams both have successful programs. The men had a 6-4 record, but the women had a tie for second place in the Big Eight, but they still earned an 18-11 record. The women were even more successful. They won the national championship record. The Jayhawks won the Big Eight and Region VI titles, but then were knocked out of post-season play by Louisiana Tech, which finished second in the tournament.
COACHES TED Owens and Marian
Washington looked for experienced
players in the area and recruited a
joyce player they get an athlete
with some college experience who can step
up to play.
"We're going to have to bring in some junior college people because we need immediate help. But we eventually want to rely primarily on high school players."
"I'm certainly more aware of junior college programs," said Washington. "I don't see why a program like lot of four-year schools now, I look at players from jacobs that have good records for tennis."
"In a junior college athlete you have a player who has had two years of higher level competition. Since you have them only two years, it is extremely important
THAT A JUCO transfer is at a four-year school only two years is the major disadvantage of recruiting him. Most coaches prefer to sign athletes right out of college.
that we have someone like Shebra who is not afraid of competition. If you are patient they are able to make the adjustment quicker than freshmen."
"It is a means for changing the character of a team rapidly," said KU student Luke Sprague. "You prefer to have four-year students because they have a better shot at getting used to your system. But few freshmen at this level are ready to play. Jacu transfers to the UConn team."
It is no secret that some athletes are sent to junior colleges to raise their grades so they will be academically eligible at a four-year school. Few people are willing to discuss the subject, but Howlett, who was involved in the entire athletic operation at North Carolina last year, said she had been involved in programs that used this practice.
JUNIOR COLLEGEES offer athletes the opportunity to develop their abilities by giving them playtime. Many athletes participate in sports sitting on the bench at a major university.
"FROM PREVIOUS experience we send football players to junior colleges to raise their grades," she said. "I wouldn't be apologetic about doing it. Most of them wouldn't have made it academically at college if they hadn't got to a junior college."
Although junior colleges act as intermediate steps between high schools and four-year colleges, there are still many adjustments to be made after transition since they have hardly joined二次 transfer seem have to KU problems making the adjustment to KU.

Kansas grabs third in tournev
The KU women's basketball team unleashed its fast break and literally ran past Mississippi Saturday, 106-75, for a third straight game. The Classic tournament in FloridaTexas.
Junior Lynette Woodward, more accrued, scored 18 rebounds, scored 24 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in the overwhelming victory. Sophomore Shaury Hilden added 22 points.
KU continually beat the Tigers down the court to score easy baskets.
"I've never seen a KU team run the break so well," KU assistant coach Kathy Meek said. "Against Missouri we just ran, ran, ran."
The Jayhawks reached the consolation final by beating Memphis State in the first round, 87-73, and losing to Louisiana Tech in the second, 78-76.
"The Memphis State game was closer than the score indicates," Meek said. "It was only 38-36 at the half. We just weren't playing good ball."
KU's leading scorer in that game was freshman Chris Stewart with 19 points.
KC loses to LA
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Karen Abulaj Jabbar scored 25 points, pulled down 15 rebounds and equaled his career high with 11 blocked shots last night, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a narrow 111-104 win in the victory over the Kansas City Kings.

Holden was right behind with 18, while Woodard and Shebra Legrant each added 12 to the Jav Hawks' total.
Kansas City's Otis Birdsong 'led all scorers to 29 points.
"We didn't play Tech that bady," Meek said. "They put a full-court press on us, and then we seemed to lose our poise."
Stewart played six-sixer basketball in high school and has been working on the transition to the five-person college game. He didn't win very well in practice. Meek said.
adam Louisiana Tech the Jayhawks led by as many as 13 points, but they lost control of the game when the Techsters applied a full-court press.

Jayhawks' big inside players, Holden and Legrant, fouled out.
Meek said that KU should have won the tournament, but that she and head coach Marian Washington were very pleased with the team's performance.
"The officials were calling really funny," Meek said. "I've never seen officials call that type of game before. And it wasn't just they." They were calling fouls on everybody.
"Overall, I thought we looked pretty good," meek said. "We drew a lot of attention in our game against Laushi Tech. We also used to work together and get used to each other, but I definitely think that we are a national contender. A lot of people were impressed."
The Jayhawks return to Allen Field House tomorrow against Grandview College at 7:30 p.m.
