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

The second-guessing started as soon as Bucky Scriffer's left foot struck the football. It peaked when the ball rolled dead on the Oklahoma 43-yard line, untouched by Sooner hands.
With 1:37 to play and fourth and 10 from the KU 21-yard line, Head Coach Dambrough 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 Jimerson didn't fumble. He didn't even touch the ball. He didn't have to.
"I thought they would go for it." Oklahoma coach Harry Swain surprised that the team was with only one time.
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.

For some it is a tradition that stretches back as far as they can remember. For others it is a good reason to get in a little party on a Saturday night. You can simply find it a cheap way to get a football game.

There was the businessman and his family from Olathe who enjoyed the wide-open space the hill provides. There were the alumni from Overland Park who decided that $5.00 was too steep a price to pay to see a football game. And there were the Walmers, a group of KU students who have come close to making hill-sitting a fall ritual.

SEATTLE—Kansas City's Steve Fuller, who was nearly hounded to death by the Baltimore Colts last week, showed the Seattle Steelers that he could do with just a little time to throw.
Late TD drive gets KC victory
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.
Fuller, a second-year quarterback from Clemson, directed the Chiefs on two long drives in the fourth quarter yesterday, including a game-winning 91-yard march, to lead Kansas City to a 31-30 victory over the Seahawks.
Fulter, 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 with a 25-yard kick gave Seahawks had taken a 30-24 advantage on Jim Jadot's 2-vard run with 4:10 left.
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 26-yard completion to Ted McKnight that took the Chiefs to the Seattle 6.

By winning the error-filled game, Kansas City, 55, stayed alive in the playoff chase.
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-started 7-7 tie with Oregon, there were cries that KU was not only afraid of losing, but also of winning. Those cries should be allened Saturday, except for the final punt.
"It would have just been a giveaway," Fambrigh said. "The guy had fumbled the last three times we'd kicked. We felt our chances were better to get him to tumble."
"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 arrared loose than for us to make the fourth and 10. If we knew that it, it would have just given them a touchdown."
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 Jahyahs scored with 8:40 left in the game on a 13-yard run by Garfield Taylor, who replaced the injured Kerwin Bell. Kallmyer'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 will miss badly.
"I DON'T KNOW what it was," Smith said, "I know I can bring better than that. It was tough to pass because they had five defensive backs in there and were rushing a lot of tall guys.
"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 Jayhawks lost, their slim hope for a bowl probably slipped away. The team is 3-4-2 with road games at 1-8 Colorado and 7-2-Missouri left on the schedule.
But the close game shouldn't be a wasted effort. Fambourg expects the long-term benefits of the new law to deliver.
JAYHAWK NOTES: The hitting was hard the entire Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday and in almost every series at least one player went to the pitch. The haywaks, 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 the 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."
The decision to keep Bell out of the game was finalized early Saturday morning. He wore his 4. no. 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.
"It's a big joke between Coach John Hadl and I, can make something Californiai, can make someone Californiai."

KU's cause was hurt by two interceptions by the anonymous Orlando Flanagan, a defensive end. Flanagan won No. 82, but his name was Oklahoma played North Carolina last week.
Dino is undecided where he will play his collegiate ball.
Beil'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.
"They sent it in and the printer misprinted my name," Flanagan said. "It came back Flangan."

P possibly the most understated "Saved" rumor on the "Out The Other" page is
P raised on the 'Out The Other Effect' promo on the 'Out The Other Effect' that Dylan 'don't like the way it sounds on the radio'. To my prostitized ear 'Saved' doesn't get lungfills of air time because it's too blazingly joyful. Maybe what causes it to sound so is the way it doesn't sound on the radio.
Still, I'm saving up to get my hands on a second copy of Bobby's latest & greatest — or it is craftier & crankiest— so I won't lose in case it really goes off the market.
Besides, who even cares about what Dylan says unless we know how he says it?

I o look in my mail slot and there is a copy of your publication there. I take a quick look at it. Tom Wats is sprawled on the cover, I think I'm going to like this paper on the cover. I ask Blaise X. Rea about Tom. I also enjoyed Bill Braun's de-bagging "of the unknown comic.
But I'm afraid that you have Don Snow den to thank for my having torn up the subcription request I was about to send. I getting a little sick and tired of jerks hanging on albums that I get alot of enjoyment out of.

In response to Barry Alfonso's review of Jackson Browne's new album, *Hold Out*, I must say his remarks proved not be irrelevant, rather irrealent. Obviously, Mr. Alfonso expects constant 'newness' by the band artists for his own personal kicks. It is hard to imagine that Browne's work on the applicability of his lyrics and their interpretations to my own life. LP arrangement, chord structure, and melodic sense are not what sells Jackson Browne albums, nor what entitles Browne as the creme de la creme of contemporary songwriters. I would suggest to Mr. Alfonso that he focus on his highly sensitive ear into his analytical brain, if indeed that capacity exists.
I think that Michael Ward's "Boid" is the funniest damn cartoon I've ever seen. I've been reading it for nearly two years, but the September issue's cartoon was the greatest. Ward is really talented. Who is he, and where did you find him?

& OUT THE OTHER
FRANCIS CORPOILAS ZOETROPE STUDIO now has its own musical production unit headed by Gene Kelly, who knows a thing or two about musicals. Kelly will function in much the same way as Arthur Freed at MGM in the Forties and Fifties—in charge of music, writers, directors, choreographers and Kelly's first job, supervising the musical scenes in Straight from the Heart, starring Frederic Forser and Teri Garr, for which Tom Wats is writing the music. A second Zoetrope musical, Sex and Enthusiasm, will star Grindy Williams, and a third Tracker, will star Billy Jean Henderson, who will be directed by Coppola himself, written by him and Adolph Green and Betty Comden—a veteran musical comedy team Zoetrope is also auditioning young people for an all-kid musical (which, we devoidly hope will be better than the dreadful *Inguyen*) of a few years back). Coppala says the cost is $2 million. Where does he get his money?

GENE RODDENBERRY, creator of *Stark Truck*, recently told a Hollywood trade paper that the company would be building a new truck.

Too Funny
MONTY PYTHONS LIFE OF BRAN was banned in Norway, and the group couldn't be more delighted. In a recent interview in the Los Angeles Times, Terry Jones said they devised a new campaign to celebrate "The film that was so funny it commented later in Norway." "Cleese commented later, 'Very little money to be made in Norway.'"
Not Funny Enough
N NEW SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE producer Jean Doumanian still hasn't announced this season's all-new cast. When conducting marathon auditions recently, Doumanian and one or two other auditioners reportedly told an aspirant, "Go ahead, improve." What? asked the puzzled actress "What?" asked the room's Come On! Will a couple of rooms be roommates?" said Doumanian. Meanwhile, Doumanian legally told her designer and art director to go forth and hang out in downtown New York "to see what the Eighties look like."

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 Kansas are on the top five, according to most of the coaches.
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.
"He seems to get hurt all the time. Last week he got a dislocated jaw. I guess it wasn't that funny to him but it sure is starting to be funny to me."
