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

The second-guessing started as soon as Bucky Scriner's left foot struck the football. It peaked when the ball rolled dead on the Oklahoma 43-venture, untouched by Sooner hands.
With 1:37 to play and fourth and 10 from the KU 21-yard line, Head Coach Dumfrabrough called for a punt. The offensive unit was stunned as it came off the field.
The last-ditch gamble, punting when most teams would have been passing, failed for the Kansas Jayhawks and Utah Utes of hopes to win. The Oklahoma Oklahoma Sooners held off a second-half rally to win 21-19.
THE PLAN WAS for a high punt, good coverage and a few sandwiching 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 Svitzer said. "I was surprised that they would punt 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.

Late TD drive gets KC victory
By JIM SMALL Sports Writer
PLACE-KICKER Bruce Kallmyer was out on the field and had his kicking tee in place, but the coaching staff called him back. After a decision-making timeout, KU went for two and failed.
kutter, 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, who was for sacked a club record of 10 times by the Colts a week ago, hit 6-7 passes for 93 yards on the game-winning drive. Arnold Morgado's 1-yard plunge put Seahawks ahead. The Seahawks had taken a 30-24 advantage on Jim Jodaf's 2-yard run with 4:10 left.
After the season-opening 7-7 tie with Oregon, there were cries that KU was not only afraid of losing, but also of winning. Those crises should be been silenced Saturday, except for the final扑点.

Fuller made two key plays on the final drive while he scrambled to avoid the pass rush. The big plays were a 32-yard completion to Stan Rome from the end zone and a 26-yard completion to the McKnight that took the Chiefs to the Seattle 6.
"It would have just been a giveaway," Fambridge said. "The guy had gumbled the last three times we'd kicked. We felt our chances were better to get him to fumble.
By winning the error-filled game, Kansas City, 5-5, stayed alive in the playoff chase.
"The offense has also been known to fumble a few times even though I don't think they did but once.
"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 10. If we hadn't made it, it would have just given them a
The only problem was that Oklahoma's returner didn't have to field the punt. Fambrough was open to second guessing.
SWITZER ALSO should have been fair game
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.
"Sure, we were a little disappointed on fourth down," Smith said. "But it's not for me to decide what we do.
"The coaches thought that we would probably get the ball back."
The Jayhawks scored with 8:40 left in the game on a 13-yard run by Garfield Taylor, who replaced the injured Kerwin Bell. Kallimeyer's kick made it 21-19.
KU would have the ball two more times. Smith, who went 1-for-8 passing, would throw five more passes and all would miss badly.
"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 guys.

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, Waplock Mack, had 52 yards on seven
KU's cause was hurt by two interceptions by the anonymous Orlando Flanagan, a defensive end. Flanagan won No. 38, but his name was not called up before Oklahoma when Oklahoma played North Carolina last week.
"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."
The dayhawks lost, their slim hope for a bowlbid probably slipped away. The team is 3-2 with road games at 1-8 Colorado and 7-4 Missouri left on the schedule.
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.
But the close game shouldn't be a wasted effort. Fambroub expects the long-term benefits
It's a big joke between Coach John Hadi and I that, maybe these, Californians can make
JAYHAWK NOTES: The hitting was hard the entire Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday and in almost every series at least one player went through the air, Jayhawk, the injuries were to the skill positions.
Fullback Harry Sydney sprained an ankle in the second quarter, just as he did last year. Quarterback Frank Seren 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.
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 an offensive line as the only regulars in the game.
"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 Fambrough 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."
"They sent it in and the printer misprinted my name." Flanagan said. "It came back Flangan."
Dino is undecided where he will play his collegiate ball.

Mary Tyler Moore: icily repressed.
ON SCREEN
November. 1980
Ordinary People
starring Donald Sublumber, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hollow and Tomie Hunting, written by Ken Dugan.
Based on the bestselling novel by Judith Guest, Reliest's first directorial effort takes place in one of the wealthiest spots in the country; Lake Forest, Illinois, and the "ordinary" people are the jarret family. Calvin, the father (Sutherland), a successful tax attorney and ineffective justice Guy, Bethe, the mother (Moore), a gracious but tically repressed suburbanite; and Conrad, their son (Hutton), who spent four months in a men's prison. Conrad's troubles unfold slowly: his older brother Buck (mother's favorite) died in a boating accident which Conrad survived. Beth "buried the best of her love" with Buck, and Conrad has been punishing him self ever since. Beth's rejection, Calvin's ineffectual concern and Conrad's own criticism and guilt conspire to make the kid a wreck. But it's not all downhill. Conrad knows where he belongs, who adds some welcome humour, and a charming, slightly awkward girl from church practice (Elizabeth McGovern).
Reford should be proud. There are very few self-conscious director's tricks here; although the plot is relatively straightforward, it's complicated and emotion. And the performances are awesome.
Moore, at first recognizable and likeable as TV's Mary Richards, pulls off a difficult unsympathetic role with complete authority She never finches, and at long last she nealizes those dreadful movies she made in the early 1970s. She, landed, so erratic he's sometimes brilliant and sometimes awful, is perfect here, understated but with multiple dimensions to his soft-spoken character. They're all perfect, but I have a clear favorite—young Hutton He's so confused, so pained, intelligent and vulnerable, I ached for him. Since I never the hook, I spent most of the movie tensely hoping nothing bad would come of him.
In a year of dreadful films, we suddenly
have a choice of several (Resurrection, Sentini)—but they don't just triumph by deft. Ordinary People, especially, would stand out in the best of the years.

One Trick Pony
starring Paul Simon, Blair Brown, Rip Torn and Jack Hookett, written by Simon directed by
So some of One Trick Pony's scenes are so good (Simon and his band playing a game of "dead rock stars", Simon and his young son [Michael Pearlman] playing baseball or shaving. Simon struggling to be polite to his crass producer and record company president) they stand out like lighthouses in a fog. Unfortunately, the plot is loose while Simon's character (an aging rock star striving to keep his band and music affair in a changing scene) is so passionate that his presence on screen is appealing but not powerful enough, not skillful enough to carry an entire movie, even his own. The music, most of it, is first-rate Simon (but not exactly hardcore rock, as the script would have us believe), lapping only occasionally into wimpiness.
I hope Simon writes many more movies, but I'm not sure he should star in them.

The Elephant Man
with Anthony Holkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, screenplay by Christopher Dear, Eric Grey and David Lynch, produced by Jonathan Sanger, directed by Lynch
A more pitiful existence than that lived by John Merrick, the Elephant Man, could not be imagined. Born with a deteriorating disease that infected his body with grouseme deformities, he was treated by Victorian England first as a freak show amusement and then as a society oddity. His early life of poor complex play about conflicting motivations and this rather simple-minded black and white (in more ways than one) movie.
If ever a movie begged to be loved, this is it, it's so shamelessly manipulative, we feel guilty for rejecting it, but *The Elbow Man* was not rejecting, we'd been with no other choice.
However, what truly keeps The Elephant Man impoverished is its refusal to create flesh and blood characters. People are either saints or devils, no one has a duplicious thought or action. As Victorian England was one of the most "layered" of all societies, this simply renders the story banal.
There are many historical discrepancies. Merrick's freak show owner was not an immoral hooligan who abused his charge, Frederick Treves, the doctor who recorded Merrick's case, was not saintly; and the other freaks did not free Merrick from the sidexshow. These deviations from fact would not be particularly important if the movie did not wear its supposed authenticity like a shield, daring people to criticize its intent.
it is a shame too, because the cast assembled for this film is quite remarkable. Anthony Hopkins is more than capable of showing a complex man at work. Dr.

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.
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, the top five, according to most of the coaches.
On 6-foot, 155 pound Terrance Allen, a freshman: "He's a skinny, short kid. He stands about 5-foot-11, but we say that he's 6-foot so that he won't get an inferiority complex."
"He seems to get hurt all the time. Last week he got a dislocated jaw. wait, is it that way? It's been to be happy to me."
Enough about basketball. The show is a comedy and let's talk about comedians. The Big Eight had one of the best teams in Iowa State landed Johnny Orr, Michigan's head coach for 12 years. With a style
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 tried it in practice, but it looks bad. It looks slow to me. We'll throw the ball around and maybe even catch它.
"we were picked to finish in the understand," he said. "I didn't see it. I didn't make it past the centerfield. I understand that they picked us to finish last without the knowledge that Raymond Whitley was out for the season. That's bad."

"At this point, none of our big men are ready to help us," Ida said. "If Andre gets in foul trouble, I'm going to run a five-man passing game with 5-foot-9 Jack Moore at post. We'll give him the ball and run it in and out and hope that they back him.
