This time tie won't do as gamble doesn't pay By GENE MYERS Sports Editor The second-guessing started as soon as Bucky Scrifner'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 Oklaholgers' hopes of winning. Okla. Sooners had 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 Don 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 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 Barrie Sutter said. "I was surprised that they would run 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. The 'shoulder way' would go 3-3-3. With 1:50 remaining in the third quarter, quarterback Steve Smith, who replaced injured 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 timeout, 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. Those cries should have been silenced Saturday, except for the final punt. "It would have just been a giveaway," Frambaugh 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 tumble 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 looses than for us to make the fourth and 10. If we hadn't, 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 for second guessers for his last-second strategy. On fourth and 19 from the Oklahoma 45, Switzer ele The Jahyhaws scored with 8:40 left in the game on a 12-yard run by Garfield Taylor, who replaced the injured Kerwin Bell. Kallmeyer's kick made it 21-19. 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. "The coaches thought that we would probably get the ball back." "Sure, we were a little disappointed on fourth down," Smith said. "But it's not for me to decide what we do. 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. "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." At the Jahyaws 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. But the close game shouldn't be a wasted effort. Fambrough expects the long-term benefits to overshadow the short-term loss. JAYHAWK NOTES: The hitting was hard the entire Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday and in almost every series at least one player went up for a shot against ayahaws, 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 Seser 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 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 0.4 jar, pants and tennis shoes to watch from the sidelines. Bell's mother, Momi, had come from Huntington Beach, Calif., with Frank Seurer's sense to see the game. Fuller made two key plays on the final drive while he scrawled to avoid the pass rush. The big plays were a 32-yard completion to Stan Rome from the end zone and a 28-year completion to the Ted McKnight that took the Chiefs to the Seattle 6. "We gave it everything we had." Fambrough 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. senior superstar running back on the Edison High School team, which is No.1 in the California Interscholastic Federation. "It's a big joke between Coach John Hadl and I that maybe these Californians can make something out of this Kansas team," Momi Bell said. Dino is undecided where he will play his collegiate ball. 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. By winning the error-filled game, Kansas City, 5-5, stayed alive in the playoff chase. 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 nipped North Carolina last week. "rney sent it in and the printer missprinted my name," Flanagan said. "It came back Flangan." Ruter, who was for sacked a club record of 10 times by the Colts a week ago, hit 6-0-7 passes for 93 yards on the game-winning drive.

Game-day at Ampersand November, 1980 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 Walmurs, a group of KU students who have come close to making hill-sitting a fall ritual.

By United Press International If you think you could pick your beer with your eyes closed, here's your chance. Probably just one beer drinker in 3 can pass this test. All three major premium beers are distinctly different in taste. After all, they're made by different brewers using different ingredients and different brewing processes. Still, it takes a pretty educated tongue to tell them apart. You may not win,but you can't lose. This test requires a blindfold. That's so your eyes won't influence your mouth Because taste is all that counts — in this test, and in a beer. Here's how the test works. You pour Schlitz, Bud and Miller into identical glasses. Have a friend label them 1,2 and 3 and switch them around. Now, taste. The one you pick may not be your beer, but it's the beer with the taste you want. See 3 more questions.

Now the balance of tastes becomes clear. No one taste should intrude on your total beer enjoyment. Maybe beer tastes so good because you're really tasting each sip more than once. First, the lively, refreshing character of beer comes from the aroma and How do Schlitz, Budweiser and Miller compare on taste? Does the taste of a beer ever change? That's for you to decide. Simply rate each beer from 1 to 10 on the flavor characteristics below. When you're finished, try to guess the brands by name. Very, very few people can do this. Yes. All beers have changed over the years. One example is Schiltz. Two years ago a master brewer named Frank Sellinger came to Schiltz. He came to be president. And to brew a Schiltz that was smoother than any other beer. Taste that beer for yourself. Because taste is what it's all about. The best beer is #.

Milwaukee, WI 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 Oklahoma are 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. 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. Enough about basketball. The show was a comedy and let's talk about comedians. The Big Eight had one of its best recruiting years last season, with four players from Michigan's head coach for 12 years.

We'll give him the ball and run it in and out and hope that they back him. "I'm serious." 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 held the defense, he reserved that with bepithesis and did not attend, instead sending Wayne Ballard, his assistant coach.
