McMichael filling Jaynes'
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
Snorts Reporter
Before the football season began, Jayhawk fans were concerned about who would play quarterback for the University of Kansas, All-American David Jayhaws had graduated, and the Jayhawks were left with improvised sophomores to battle for the tol.
McMichael said he was not pleased with his performance, however, against Kansas State University. McMichael, a 63, 187-pound sophomore, completed six of 12 passes for 90 yards and threw two intiatives. He carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards.
Scott McMichael emerged as the starting quarterback, and through five games he has proven that he can handle the job. The McMichael-led offense is now ranked fourth nationally in total offense with an average of 436 vards a game.
"I played kind of poorly," McMichael said. "Their defense a lot of things right. They had scouted us well and they made it tough to move the ball.
"There was a lot of pressure on us. We knew K-State would be tough, and there's
always pressure against them, especially when you're plaving up there."
McMichael, who had thrown only two interceptions in the first four games, had two passes, including one in the end zone, picked off by the Wildcats.
"Those were two times when I shouldn't have thrown the ball," he said, shaking his head. "On the first one, we were down close on the seven-yard line; we the defenders had to pass the ball; we tried to get the ball between two of them and just didn't get it done."
Before the season, McMichael was billed as a running quarterback, but in the first four games he had minus-two net yards rushing. Against K-State, he ran more and gained 28 yards on 10 carries, including a five-yard touchdown.
"It just depends on the way they were playing defense," he said in explaining why he chose to run more. "They weren't letting me pitch the球, so I just turned upfield. On the touchdown, I was ended ends, and I just kept the ball (fallback Robert Miller) so I just kept the ball and went in."
McMichael said there was a lot of

For the second time this season, the University of Kansas junior varsity football team lost to Kansas State University as K-State won the 'Hawks 27-16 Monday in basketball.
Maury John dies
The Wildcats put the game away when
AMES, Iowa—Former Iowa State University head basketball Coach Maury John died Tuesday night at Mary Greeley Hospital here.
John's death came two and a half months after he resigned as the Cyclone's coach because of deteriorating health, and less years after he had been told he had cancer.
defensive tackle Mark Kozak recovered a fumble by the Ravens and in the game with 1:11 left, the game
Loyd, who completed 9 of 14 passes for 154 yards and ran an additional 48 yards, had KU back from a 16-haime deficit in the third quarter. Monte Hobbs kicked a 32-arm field goal, and Loyd hit Mark Dorian on a 67-ward touchdown pass.
However, K-State regained the lead in the fourth quarter on a yard-field goal, and the Cavaliers came within 4 points.
KU is now 0-3 on the season and has only one game left—against Haskell on Oct. 31. The 'Hawks home game against Missouri previously scheduled for Monday has been like Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, like its junior varisty schedule.

So far, he has been doing it very well. He is leading the Big Eight in passing with 43 completions in 78 attempts for 655 yards. He is only 93 yards short of replacing Jaynes as the greatest sophomore passing quarterback in KU history. He is quick to give
pressure on him at the beginning of the year. He had seen no vignity action and he had the unenviable task of trying to fill the shoes of Javnes.

McMichael said the fact that Saturday's resort is both good and bad for the Jayaverse is hard to bear.

"I proves they can be beaten," he said, "but they're going to try awfully hard to get back on them. I know there are other people in Nebraska who are being they. They're going to be tough."
Offensive tackle Dave Scott still has a bruised thigh, but Coach DON Fambrough said yesterday that he would be ready to play against Nebraska.
Injuries on the KU football team have improved little since yesterday. Defensive end Les Barnes is a doubtful starter for this season because of a strained hamstring in his leg.

Fambrough said he was assuming that all Farnbucks the injured players would be ready to play Saturday, so KU would prepare to play Farnbucks at full strength.
