This time tie won't do as gamble doesn't pay

The second-guessing start as soon as Bucky Scribner's left foot struck the football. It peaked when the ball rolled dead on the Oklahoma 43-yard line, untouched by Sooner hands.
The last-ditch gamble, punting when most teams would have been passing, failed for the Kansas Jayhawks and OLU's hopes of winning. The Oklahoma Sooners held off a second-half rally to win 21-9.
With 1:37 to play and fourth and 10 from the KU 21-yard line, Head Coach Done Fambrough called for a punt. The offensive unit was stunned as it came off the field.
THE PLAN WAS for a high punt, good coverage and a few sandwishing hits. The hope was that Oklahoma's fumble-prone Jay Jimerson would do his thing. But Jimson didn't fumble. He didn't even touch the ball. He didn't have to.
"I thought they would go for it," Oklahoma coach Barry Sutter said. "I was surprised that they would put with only one timeout left."
Also surprised were the 40,150 people in Memorial Stadium. The final punt seemed a bit too conservative for a team that played a liberal game.
The same team that played it safe and went for a tie in the season opener was taking every precaution to avoid picking up its third tie of the season. There was no way KU would go 3-3-1.
With 1:50 remaining in the third quartet quarterback Steve Smith, who replaced injure
Frank Seurer, scored on a naked reverse from the 5-yard line. That made the score 21-12. KU needed a touchdown, a two-point conversion and an extra point to tie.
PLACE-KICKER Bruce Kallmeyer was out on the field and had his kicking tee in place, but the coaching staff called him back. After a decision making time, KU went for two and failed.
After the season-opening 7-7 tie with Oregon, there were cries that KU was not only afraid of losing, but also of winning. The crises should be allened Saturday, except for the final punt.
"It would have just been a giveaway," Fambrigh said. "The guy had gumbled the last three times we'd kicked. We felt our chances were better to get him to fumble.
"The offense has also been known to fumble a few times even though I don't think they did but
"We felt our chances were better of recovering a fumble on the punt or getting the ball jarred loose than for us to make the fourth and it, it would have, just given them the a touchdown."
The only problem was that Oklahoma's returner didn't have to field the punt. Fam-brought was open to second guessing.
SEATTLE—Kansas City's Steve Fuller who was nearly nounded to death by the Baltimore Colts last week, showed the Seattle team that he could do with just a little time to throw.
Fuller, a second-year quarterback from Clemson, directed the Chiefs on two long drives in the fourth quarter yesterday, in cluding a game-winning 91-yard march, to lead Kansas City to a 31-30 victory over the Seahawks.
Fuller made two key plays on the final drive while he scrambled to avoid the pass rush. The big plays were a 33-yard completion to Stan Rome from the end zone and a 28-yard completion to the Ted McKnight that took the Chiefs to the Seattle 6.
Fuller, who was for sacked a club record of 10 times by the Colts a week ago, hit 6-4-7 passes for 93 yards on the game-winning drive. Arnold Gordeau's left shoulder left, he fled the drive. The Seahawks had taken a 30-24 advantage on Jim Jodas' 2-vard run with 4:10 left.
By winning the error-filled game, Kansas City, 5-5, stayed alive in the playoff chase.
SWITZER ALSO should have been fair game
"Sure, we were a little disappointed on fourth down," Smith said. "But it's not for me to decide what we do."
No one was back for the return when Oklahoma punted. Eleven men charged so determined that the punter was roughed long after the kick was off.
For some it is a tradition that stretches back a far as they can remember. For others it is a good reason to get to a little partying on a Saturday and simply find it a cheap way to see a football game.
JAHYHAWK NOTES: The hitting was hard the entire Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday and in almost every series at least one player went to the bench. In aayhawks, the injuries were to the skill positions.
"The coaches thought that we would probably get the ball back."
The people who sat on the hill overlookok Memorial Stadium at Saturday's Kansai Oklahoma football game represent a societal reason with his or her own reason for sitting on the hill.
KU would have the ball two more times. Smith, who went 1-for-8 passing, would throw five more passes and all will miss bady.
The Jayhawks scored with 8:40 left in the game on an 13-yard run by Garfield Taylor, who replaced the injured Kerwin Bell. Kallmeyer's kick made it 21-19.
Fullback Harry Sydney sprained an ankle in the second quarter, just as he did last year. Quarterback Frank Searer bruised a knee in the third quarter. Flanker David Verser suffered a chest bruise in the second quarter. Tight end Mike Kennaw was also shaken up.
"I just hope that we are not completely beat up after this football game and can come back and play well in our last two," Head Coach Don Fambridge said. "If we are not too beat up and our injuries are not too serious, we've got a chance to win our last two football games."

"I DON'T KNOW what it was," Smith said, "I know I can throw better than that. It was tough to pass because they had five defensive backs in there and were rushing a lot of tall guards.
"And I don't know why the wind decided to shift in the fourth quarter. We had that strong wind against us the entire second half."
Dino is undecided where he will play his collegiate ball.
Late TD drive gets KC victory
Bell's replacement Saturday, redshirt freshman Garfield Taylor, gained 100 yards on 19 carries. He had 89 yards on 15 carries at the half. His backup, Walter Mack, had 52 yards on seven carries.
The Jayhawks lost, their slim hope for a bowl bit probably slipped away. The team is 3-4-2 with road games at 1-8 Colorado and 7-2 Missouri left on the schedule.
With those injuries and the disabling toe injury to Kerwin Bell from last week, KU played most of the game with wide receiver Lester Mickens on the offensive line as the only regulars in the game.
There was the businessman and his famil from Olathe who enjoyed the wide-open spac the hill provides. There were the alumni fro Overland Park who decided that $9.50 was to steep a price to pay to see a football game. Am there were the Walmers, a group of KU student who have come close to making hill-sitting a fe ritual.
KU's cause was hurt by two interceptions by the anonymous Orlando Flanagan, a defensive end. Flanagan won no. 18, but his name was Oklahoma played North Carolina last week.
The decision to keep Bell out of the game was finalized early Saturday morning. He wore his 0.4 jersey, pants and tennis shoes to watch from the sidelines. Bell's mother, Momi, had come from Huntington Beach, Calif., with Frank Seurer's family to see the game.

COLLEGE GAMES
A not-for-credit mind-bender fiendishly devised by the editors of GAMES magazine to drive you bananas.
When the conversation centers around beer, all of us suddenly become experts. "Imported is better than domestic," some will cry. "Not if the domestic is brewed in Milwaukee; others will contend." And somebody always throws in "Draft made bottled beer look like dishwater," or words to that effect. While taste is the primary consideration in choosing a brew, the beer label is usually the first thing that catches our eye. Has anyone ever stopped to actually look at the label? If you have, this little quiz shouldn't present a problem. Just identify the brand of beer by the label shape and a few distinguishing trademarks. But if you get stumped, might consider catching up on your homework at your favorite tavern.

first. His magnificent performance of the simple poem, "They Are Coming," broke the ice and moved a stubborn audience of more than 800 people from blind devotion to Ginsberg to knowledge Clausen's tremendous power and in sight. "They Are Coming," written in the early Seventies, anticipates the rise of "derelict women poets" from the streets and the working class coming forth to tell their stories in poetic language not taught in university literature courses.
The best recent example of the Texas-international poetry confluence came in a rare Gregory Corse read last April. Corse, originally a New Yorker but known as one of the wildest of the Flintes San Francisco Beats, joined with Kuzminsky (cursing in Russian), Clausen (and others) all people who didn't know how to write Eleanor Crockett (descendant of Dawy) whose magnetic sublodies floated above the gut level expression of the men with whom she shared the stage.
The migration of non-Texan writers to Austin is also bringing the awareness of national audiences to local activity as they follow the presses that follow the poets to their new home base. Poems Paul Foreman and Foster Robertson moved from San Francisco, where they published the ten-year-old poetry journal Hyperion, and opened Thorp Springs Press, which has published about ten ti-
ties so far. The opening of their offbeat bookstore at 803 Red River Street was a major literary celebration that offered a weekend of readings by scheduled and non-scheduled writers, a home for open-ended conversations, as well as Texas Circuit, and a gathering place for poets to meet informally. Robertson contrasts "... the spirit of cooperation between young, energetic writers and small presses here, with the highly competitive scene in Brazos Book Store, Grady Hillman declares the inevitable comparison to City Lights is warranted.
To what extent the predictions of Austin's importance to national contemporary literature are being fulfilled is uncertain; the local vitality, though, is highly visible. The Circuts Downtown Literature Series' monthly readings are supplemented by three other ongoing exhibitions and museums around town, steadily gathering growing numbers for poetry audiences that can benefit from the volatile creativity and solidifying sense of purpose in this newest Literary Center.

Sure enough, somebody won it...
But the silliness of our contest was easily matched by the dumbness of the entries. Why pick on pizza? Truth Consultant quickly wearied of wading through dozens of references to that aromatic round Italian delicacy; there were so many pizza captions Truth Consultant had to construct a separate Pizza Division. Overcrowding forced him to add a Peperoni Subdivision.
Gary Engler of San Francisco State University is *Ampersand's Pizza Division winner* with "RCA announced the release of Elvis —the Pizza Sessions; previously unreleased material of Elvis talking, toking and singing while eating pizza. This limited edition 3-album set will include a special collector's poster of Elvis." (54.95%) *Pizza Division winner Engler will be receiving a Greatest Hits album, just as soon as Truth Consult falls by the Elvis section of a handy record store.*
Grand prize, the extravagantly overpriced 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Elvis Aron Presley, an 8-record set containing 65 unreleased performances, 8 full-color Elvis Picture sleeves, a 20-page picture booklet and an Authentic Autograph imbued in each of the 8 records, goes to Kevin P. Whaley, surely the snappiest wit ever to cross the University of Wisconsin campus. The truth, and our winning entry, as revealed by Whaley:
"Jimmy Hoffa Finally Comes Home. Here Mrs. Hoffa accepts Jimmy's skull from Detroit Teamster leaders as Chuckie O'Brien [Hoffa's natural son] makes sure all of Daddy made it back safely."
Enough about basketball. The show was a comedy and let's talk about commercials. The Big Bowl, the NCAA tournament, is season when Iowa State landed Johnny Orr, Michigan's head coach for 12 years. With a style
Kansas always rated mention, but always a disclaimer was issued: If they play as a team, if they mesh, they'll be good. Nebraska and Iowa are the top five, according to most of the coaches.
IN THE SERIOUS moments, the coaches agreed that Missouri was the favorite to win the Big Eight championship and Kansas State also should be in the race.
ORR HAS LONG been known for giving his teams the ball and telling them to run. That won't change at Iowa State, but he will have to make some adjustments.

"If we get a chance, we will fast break," he said. "We have told it in practice, but it looks bad. It looks slow to me. We'll throw the ball around and maybe even catch it.

“At this point, none of our big men are ready to help us,” Haid said. “If Andre gets in foul trouble, I’m going to run a five-man pass playing with 5-foot-Jock Jack Moore at post. We’ll give him the ball and run it in and out and hope that they back him.

So were most of the other coaches. The big three, Ted Owens of KU, Jack Hartman of K-State and Norm Stewart of Missouri, wore the serious look of winners. Paul Hansen of Michigan had to play with hepatitis and didn't attend, instead sending Wayne Ballard, his assistant coach.
