'Hawks look to second season
By GENE MYERS Sports Editor
Kansas opened the season Saturday. A 28-17 come-from-behind, forget-the-past victory over Iowa State has made a new path they hope is lined with victories.
"This may sound like something Cosell would say, but it is a new season," mighty mite tailback Kerwin Bell said. "This is the start of our second season. We know we can beat everybody left on the schedule."
Bell was not joking. The talk in the jubilant Jayhawk locker room was about the future and the victories it should hold.
THE REST OF the schedule is one home game with Oklahoma and road games at Kansas State, Colorado, Oklahoma State and Missouri.
The Jayhawks have the new optimism because of Saturday's upset. Not only did KU recover from a 17-7 second-half deficit with a third quarter score, but they also did it against the unbeaten and 16th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones.
For the Cyclones, the last of the Big Eight's unbeatens, the game was their first outside the state of Iowa and West Virginia to total blowout. In the clutch, it showed.
"When we got the lead they had their beds down," David Verser said. "That just fired us up more. They were surmised and I began to abound ahead to Oklahoma and being 6-0."
The Cyclones slipped to 5-1. KU is 2-3
"They were always way ahead in the fourth quarter. This time they started off on a downward trajectory."
"I THOUGHT THEY panicked," said KU's Frank Wattelte, defensive captain. "Our difficult competition and the attack definitely was a factor for both teams.
The Jayhawks upset the Cyclones before a sparse 30,000 in Memorial Stadium. The crowd was the smallest of the season, but the largest in the fourth quarter. KU's three other home games, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Nebraska, had most of the crowd rushing for the exits by the final quarter.
"OUR FIRST VICTORY this year was on my 39th wedding anniversary," Fambridge said. "And today it was my birthday and we won. Next week I’m gonna have to come up with something else but even a hemorrhoid operation."
It's Easy to Graduate
For those that went Saturday, the day ended with a song, a song for Head Coach Don Fambrough to have a happy band played it and the crowd sang it.

Fambrough's $8th birthday actually was yesterday, not Saturday. But he didn't want to admit it.
"Don't spoil it," he said after the
game, and he never in the fourth
quarter that it was today.
The Cyclones' star tailback, Dwayne Crutchfield, had a solid game with 122 yards on 26 carries. He has gained more than 100 yards in every game but one this season. But after Saturday's game against the Nets, he room with tears streaking both cheeks. The 232-pound junior asked to be left alone.
JIAYHAWK NOTES: Kerwin Bell's 156 yards rushing against Iowa State leave him 43 yards short of the Big Eight's freshman record. The record, 610 yards, was set by Oklahoma's Joe Washington in 1972.
Kansas' next game is Saturday at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are 0-5.
"I was not very happy with the outcome of our season," Bell said. "I've never been in a losing situation. I expected to rebuild, but I expected a little more."
KU trailed 17-7 late in the third quarter when Iowa State's fullback Jack Seabrook fumbled on the 8-yard line. Three plays later Frank Seurer,
"I'd like to see him come off the field breathing hard sometimes," Fambrough said. "He wasn't even breathing. I believe he has more endurance than any other player I've ever lost in cross. He takes some licks out there."
He revealed that he hadn't been too happy most of the season because of the ticks.
But he said that he would never consider leaving KU.
"I haven't regretted coming to KU. No. Never. Right now, I feel great."
BELL, WHO DODGED reporters after KU lost 54-0 to Nebraska, welcomed any and all questions this week.
Bell, who ran underneath the Cyclone defenders like a surfer cutting underneath an overhead wave, was the fuse for the Jayhawks' offensive explosion. He gained 156 yards on 35 carries. Both were career highs.

Nick Lowery added field goals of 37, 39 and 34 yards to keep the Chiefs' offense moving in a 23-17 victory over the slumping Denver Broncos. Both teams are 3-4 and tied for last in the AFC Western Division.

One walk-on makes KU team
With six guards on the 12-man roster, the KU basketball team was looking for big men during walk-on tryouts last week.
Worrel's style of play will not be unfamiliar to at least one member of the KU team. Worrel was a teammate in a 1982 Knight at Salina South High School.
None showed. But the tallest man to take the floor, 6-foot-6, 175-pound sophomore Rick Worrell, made the team. Worrel's size, as well as his arm length, meant he earned him a spot on the KU roster. He was the only player added.
