8 University Daily Kansan Monday, November 19, 1979 'Hawks' play lacks intensity By MIKE EARLE Associated Sports Editor For KU fans who witnessed the Jayhawks win, there were highlights of the game were the狸猫 dog on the field at the outset of the contest and the cup fight that raided in the student section. Sports analysis The offense that was so potent in the exciting 38-26 victory over Kansas State University three weeks ago took a vacation. Never mind the 17 points the team scored against Colorado. The offense has been unable to score in their last eight quarters. After being shut out 384 by Oklahoma last week, KU's only points against the Buffaloes were the result of speciality team efforts. Injuries at key positions played a role in the Jayhawks' skids. The abrasions of starting right offensive guard Fred Osborne and center forward James Hicks, knee surgery, and the fractured finger on quarterback Brian Bethe's hand showing have had a demoralizing effect on the team. Nevertheless, KU running back Mike Higgins, who managed 31 yards on 10 carries, said after the game that the Jawhavas didn't lau up to their potential. **WE SHOULD have won.** Higgins said in the quiet KU locker room after the game. "We didn't execute and just kind of ran around with it." He added that the way we did we're not going to win." The Colorado locker room was a completely different scene after their first visit to the arena, time long time heart hearing players' comments above the din. Colorado quarterback Billy Solomon, who was in a lot of danger, any hopes of a KU connelkade with a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter, said KU seemed to have a chance. "To tell you the truth, I kind of questioned their intensity," Solomon said. "They got those 10 quick points and then they just laid back. “THIS IS A great thrill for me. Everybody knows we won't be going to any bowls or be champions of anything, but we still have some pride left in ourselves and it "We played with more intensity," Haynes said. "We knew we could come in here and take this game, and we were really up for it." Cornerback Mark Haynes, a native of Kansas City, Kan., and possibly the best defensive back in the conference, agreed with Solomon's assessment. "Coming here and beating KU and playing well in front of my family and friends," she said. "Mensa a lot to us. We've got the momentum to go out a winner in front of our home fans." WHILE THE KU offensive sputtered for a messy layoff of total offense, the KU offense had been badly defended had often been the case this season, the defense gave up the big play, a fact coach Lester said. "We still have the same problems on defense," Fambridge said. "It's the same thing week in and week out. They make the same mistakes, and they make some big mistakes and I mean one blues." Free safety Leroy Irvin, who provided the only on-the-field excitement for Jayhawk fans with his 80-yard punt return, said that he would get the momentum on their side of the line. *FOOTBALL IS a game of momentum and they had it at the crucial times. 'Irwin told me that he played with all of their hearts. They made the big play against us. That's what killed him.' Perhaps the most disappointed member of the KU football squad was defensive coordinator Tom Batta, who was defensive coach at Colorado last year. "We obviously weren't playing with intensity the way they moved the football in the second half." Battie said. "Our backs are coming up the wall and we have to come out fighting."

"Couch Haid felt it was a . . . Coach Haid worried was about . . . he thought it was the right thing to do." he said at first when asked why he was taken out. At the end of the first quarter, although the Jayhawks were ahead 10-4, they had not managed to do anything on offense. They held the ball for 12 yards passing. The points had come on a punt return by Leroy Irwin and a goal field. It was clear that something needed to be done. "We were just trying to do everything we could," KU coach Copn Farnham said. "Brian's been playing with a broken finger since the K-State game. When we took him out, he couldn't grip the ball. After he came out, it loosened up a bit and he was able to BETHEK CAME back in the fourth quarter, after Kevin Clinton had completed two of 11 passes for 24 yards.

"Brian is a great leader as far as the defense," he said. "The Irwin is for the defense." Kirby Crawslain, outside line, said, "When those guys aren't in the game, we don't just have the defense." KU running back Mike Higgins said, "Brian is a lot quicker. With our type of offense, you must be quick to make it go. Brian rips the offense a little better." Colorado corner back Mark Haynes said, "We had a good man-to-man, and neither of us was good enough for good line rush. But No 17 scramble a lot and did a much better job when he was in." But Criswell wasn't blaming the defeat only on Bettke's absence from the game. The defense had a lot to do with it. "We just made them a great team today." criswell said. "We were better than and that team out there. Brian came in and that touchdown pass and gets us rolling then we let them drive down the field and run." That was in the fourth quarter, just after the fake field goal had put KU back within seven points. Two plays later, Colorado quarterback Bill Solomon kept the ball on an option play and run 49 yards downfield to his longest play from this season. "WED A chance to get back in the ball game," KU defensive coordinator Tommy Lewis said. "We then on them first down, and they then ratn them on first down, and it option all the way down the field. It was our way." "The key to the ball game was that play right there. If we could have got that drive stopped, we could have given the ball to the team. If they might have had a chance to score again." But the defense did not stop the Buffaloes. Colorado scored a touchdown on that drive, and held off KU for the rest of the game. CRISWELL, A senior who hadn't been expected to play because of a foot injury, was especially disappointed with himself. w eent into this game and had a lot of injuries," he said as he lingered around trying to get dressed. "We had a lot of players. I just don't think the leadership was there, and leadership rests with the seniors. I shouldn't have to let this happen. "I was going to play if I could walk. I was really happy," she said. The game started a momentary lull. I spending two hours a day in the whirlpool. I really wanted to play in all seven Eight Balls. CRISWELL WASTN'T the only player playing hurt, Jim Zidd, the outside linebacker on the other side, was "about 75 years old" and had been fumbled. Harry Sarden had hurt an ankle in the Oklahoma game, Walter Mack had just come off the injured list, and David Verser was playing for the first time since he made his first diving action. He re-injured his knee Saturday. "This game probably hurt me more than any we've played," Fambrouch said. "We're having all kinds of problems trying to master all kinds of offence. And we also have some problems on defense. At times, we have been very aggressive, but then they make that big play on us. "We encouraged that football team, we helped them work out a week not to go I felt all along that Colorado was a much better football team than their record indicated, and we helped them along."

Kansas hungers for elusive basketball respect Herbs FINE ARTWORK FINE PORTRAITURE 711 W. 23rd Floor Meals Shopping Center 842-8822 By PAM CLARK Sports Writer The KU women's basketball team is a huminy bunch. The Jayhawks say they don't get any respect from the rest of them. But with a schedule that includes the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the nation last year, Old Dominion and Louisiana Tech and four other top 20 teams, KU will have plenty of chances to gain that respect. There is a big discrepancy in the pre-season poll. KU is ranked seventh in the country in one poll, but only No. 15 in another. The team finished last year 14th with a 30-8 record, best in the team's history. "The they say we can't win the big games," KU assistant coach Kathy Meigha said, "It's like Coach (head coach Marian Washington) says.

The other teams in KU's bracket of the eight-tournament tournaments are Louisiana Tech and Ohio State.

I've been thinking about this But Mason isn't going to let the whole season ride on one early came. Tech shot 62 percent from the field in that game, a season high for KU opponents.
