NORMAN, Okla. — Kyle McNorton sat on bench with his hand to the ankle wrestler, who was injured at Owen Field. He had been injured, and stopped on his way back to the locker room.

Oklahoma had just scored to make it 38-0.

sat, watching the next play. All of a sudden, sat, appaling the backs of the hockey sticks. Who was all alone as he ran down the sideline. As Little turned to catch the ball,
After Little caught the ball, he turned to Oklahoma and the way of an Oklahan defensive back, and finally fell to the ground where Oklahoma safety Bled Hobert on top lionized.
LITTLE HAD GAINED 75 yards on the play, but he had sprained his ankle, joining McNorton and others on the long KU injury list. KU couldn't move the ball, and as McNorton grew older, he joined the McNorton gel up and began to make his way up the ramp to the KU locker room.
That afternoon was a costly one for the Jayhawks. Besides losing the game, they lost at least three players for the final two
games of the season. Two or three others may not play against Colorado.
Those lost for the season are Kyle McNorton, starting inside linebacker, F Bradorn; starting offensive guard, J Evans; starting defensive guard, with knee injuries and were injured on yesterday. Kirby Crisswell, outside linebacker, The Colorado game with knife injuries.
The injuries were the word I've ever seen out of one game," KU coach Don Fambrough said Sunday. "When it caught up with us, it caught up with us good."
KU had played tough opponents earlier in
the season, and Fambrigh had been injured. Injuries for the first two weeks of the season the only serious injury had been to Monty Carbonell, linebacker who had broken an
"WHEN YOU PLAY people like we do," Fambraigh said, "you just hope you don't get beat up. There were a number of things that caused all the injuries.
"For one thing, the law of averages just caught up with us. And some of our people we had to play too long because of depth in the injuries," a major contributor to the injuries Saturday."
The injuries, however, weren't the major contributor to the loss. Kansas again showed that it has a pretty good defense, by holding the Sooners to 10 points in the first half. But the offense couldn't manage to hold and they gave up 14 point on turnovers.
"The turning point was when it became obvious we weren't going to be able to move our team forward," he said in the game. "We tried everything in the book, but we couldn't break, we couldn't run—we just stopped."
THE OKLAHOMA DEFENSE had a lot to
"It was obvious that we got beat by a better football team," Farnbrough said. "They have that great team quickness. At times, it would seem that we had a hole to run through, but by the time our back got there, they would close up. They were just a better football队. But that wasn't always so while I'm at Kannas, but it was today."
do with the ineffectiveness of the Kansas offense.
Sunday, Fambrough said, "I just credit the Oklahoma defense. I thought Nebraska was the best defensive football team I'd
seen until Saturday. Now I don't know what to think.
"I've never seen a football team react like Oklahoma did. Time after time, we'd get them off the line, but they'd just react so quickly, that they'd just close the gate."
KU gained 184 yards total offense and six first downs against the Oklahoma defense, which is second to Nebraska in the conference. KU scored 96 yards against KU, 348 of those on the ground.
BILLY SIMS, ORLAHOMA's putative Hiemann trophy team, gained 128 yards on 23 carries. He scored one touchdown, and tried twice to get another from the one-yardline, but the KU defense stopped him both times for no gain. The Sooners finally gave up on Sims for that series, and let quarterback Pippy carry the ball in for the score.
Oklahoma scored another touchdown on an unusual fumble play in the fourth quarter. The Hawks had the ball at the Oklahoma 33, and Kevin Clinton dropped back to pass. As the ball sailed out of his hands stright up the field, he diced delirium. He caught the ball, and ran in 56 yards for the touchdown.
GOODMAN WAS named Big Eight defensive player-of-the-week for his play against Kansas. Goodman made 10 tackles, including a back pack, in addition to the fumble return.
"That was my first touchdown since I played halfback in high school," Goodman said. "I asked the coaches if they were going to split end on turn and I doubt it will they."
Spiker teams win tournament
KU's women's volleyball team swept both the A and B divisions at last weekend's Jayhawk Invitational volleyball tournament at Robinson Gymnasium.
KU beat Kansas State for the first time this year, 15-8, 15-4, to capture the A division crown.
"The whole team played very well throughout the tournament," KU coach Bob Leibig said. The team played with the play of Sheila Duran and Karen Logan. These two freshmen are something
The KU B team capped a 9-5 season with an 11-15, 14-5, victory over the Kansas City Jewish Community Center volleyball team. This game gave KU the B division title.
KU assistant coach Joel Cox praised the Bteam for its performance, as he cited the play of senior Carolyn Apt and freshman Maran Waugh.
"The whole team has played well all year," said Cox. "They all have a good attitude and a lot of hustle."
Cox also said that all five KU losses came to varsity teams.
Kansas will travel to Lincoln, Neb.
Thursday will play Pelakka in the first round of the AIAW Region Six Championships.
Sooner and 'Husker coaches want to slice Orange Bowl tie
KANAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Big Eight opposed to the league's tween with the Orange Bowl, but quite predictably, Barry Scheckter and Tom Osborne would win.
The head men of the league's two perennial superpowers, after all, have the most to lose because of the arrangement. But the equal profit sharing rule which divides up all bow revenue equally among the league and its lesser programs with scant chance of appearing in a major post-season contest on their own.

"I just think if you are good enough, you're going to go somewhere. I'd like to be able to choose where we go. As long as our conference has two or three good
teams every year, we're going to get in some good bowls."
The problem facing Oklahoma and Nebraska is they play, almost annually, for the Big Eight championship on the final regular season game of the year. Their Orange Bowl showdown comes a week before the regular season begins. And what major bowl wants to say, "We'll take the loser of the Oklahoma-Nebraska game?"
NEBRASKA, IN PARTICULAR, has had some bad experiences with the Orange Bowl arrangement. "Husker fans are still seetting over the rematch with Oklahoma State," said Brett Favre, sprinkling on them last year. In 1975 Nebraska was 10-1, its only loss to Oklahoma, but wound up in the Fiesta Bowl because all the major games grabbed teams a week before the Sooners and represent Big Eight teams in the Orange Bowl.
"Normally, when you're 10-0 the day
bow invitations go out you go to a major bowl," Osborne said in reference to the bitter experience of 1975. "And it could happen again this year."
Indeed it could. The 'Huskers are 9-0 and presumably will be 10-4 after playing Iowa State this week. But next week the huskers invitations go out, and not until the week after that will the Huskers meet the winners to decide the Orange Bowl entrant.
"But on the other site of the coin",
added Osborne. "If the conference
champion 8 to 3 or 4=7, we must not have a
game if I do it! If there wasn't the
conference teep."

Kansas Coach Don Fambrough, on the
"I think it's been good for us because, in my opinion, the Orange Bowl has always been ranked up there with the major bowls," he said.
"I think," Colorado's Chuck Fairbanks said, "the Big Eight's teep with the Big Ten. The conference because it's one of the top two most prestigious bowls. And it's good income for the conference. It guarantees that we'll be going to one of the most attractive bowls.
"If there is a negative side to it, it would be that if the conference championship is contested by the Orange championship and the Orange bowl wasn't able to get an opponent in the game to allow them to have a chance to win, then everyone everybody should keep in mind, and what many people don't keep in mind, is that the Orange football is a mythical championship."
In a repeat of the Big Eight Championship two weeks ago, the Jayhawks finished with 10-6. The Bucks finished Saturday in Oklahoma, Utah. The Buffaloes finished first with a score of 26 points, while KU was second with 96. Southern Illinois was the final qualifier from the region, and Buckets won.

Men harriers NCAA bound
For the first time since 1972, when Kun finished 4th in the nation, the men's cross country team has qualified for the NCAA championships Nov. 19 in Bethlehem, Pa.
Juniors Tim Tays and Paul Schultz and senior Bruce Collsd希汀 the way for Kansas. Tays placed 19th with time of 10:28, then with 19:57 and Schultz came in at 31:16.
"I was real pleased with the effort," COA coach B Bob Timmons said. "Colorado is really tough. They will probably finish in the top five at the national meet.
"But we ran real well, and I think we have a chance to make as good a showing as we have made in a number of years."
In last year's NCAA Championships, David Bauer, a senior this year, competed individually. He did not place.
Kansas hasn't been a big factor in the national meets this decade, but that wasn't the case for the Cincinnati title five times in the 66s and each year in the 80s. The NCA Championship was Santon, won by the NCAA Championship.
