After senior tailback Maurice Douglas scored the first of his three touchdowns on a 1-yard run. Tulsa tied the game 7-7 when junior quarterback Gus Frettertte打 a 30-yard touchdown pass to senior split end Brian Thompson.
Moments before the opening kickoff in Kansas' 40-7 victory over Tulsa Saturday, several of the Golden Hurricane faithful unfurled two large red and black hurricane warning flags on the field.
Kansas also made clutch plays. In the second quarter, the team scored a touchdown on a 62-yard interception return by senior strong safety Charlie Bowen, and faked a field goal attempt to keep a touchdown drive alive.
"I thought we wore them down at the end," he said. "But 'u'llsame ready to play. This was the hardest hitting game we've had so far."
Tournament semi-finals finals canceled because of rain
Kansas, 3-0, continued its offensive and defensive domination of opponents against Tula, 1-2, by pounding out 438 yards of total offense and holding the Golden Hurricane to 199.
It might have served Tulsa's purposes better if the flags had Jayhawks on them instead.

Junior place-kicker Dan Eichloh then booted a 46-yard field goal, his first of four in the game, to give Kansas a 10-7 lead.
The KU Men's Soccer Club was unable to defend its title in the fifth annual Jaahawk Classic this weekend. The tournament's semi-final and final games were rained out yesterday.
Robey said he was angered about the reserve team's lack of participation and had canceled the team's remaining games. The reserve team was to play Nebraska-Omaha, Kansas State and Pittsburgh State.
Hennenboefer said he was also impressed by the reserves 'nlav
The Jayhawks have outscored their opponents 151-37 this year, averaging 50.3 points a game and limiting foes to 12.3 points a game.
"They are very cocky, and they think they're very good," Hennenhoefer said of Iowa. "We know we are a better team. We had a balance of defense and offense. We were passing very well, and we moved the ball nicely."
The first half and Tulsa' hopes of wining the game ended shortly after the interception.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said the final score did not reflect the quality of the game.
Tulsa was a part of the game for much of the first half.
Overall, Robey said he was pleased with Kansas' performance.
Kansas controlled the ball on the ground for most of the second half. They rushed 30 times for 165 yards, and had the ball for 19 minutes and 44 seconds after intermission.
Kansas was tasted with Iowa 0-0 head in to the second half, when Casey Peterson, Littleton, Colo., junior, and Alexis Dillard, Wichita senior, scored goals for the 'Hawks.
"It was a once in lifetime play," Bowen said. "I'm not the fastest person in the world. I thought someone might catch me."
Team coach and president, Brian Robey, Gladstone, Mo., senior, said the rivalry between Missouri and Kansas was strong and resulted in a physical game.
The Kansas club was supposed to have two teams, a varsity and a reserve team, play in the tournament.
The varsity team played three games on Saturday. The team beat Iowa, 2-0, and Missouri, 1-0. Wichita State handed Kansas its only defeat of the day, 1-0.
"We are playing above where we were last year," he said. "We are moving the ball real well. We are known as a passing team. Our problem is finishing the ball and putting it into the net."
Birgir Armarson, Akureyri, Iceland sophomore, scored Kansas' only goal against Missouri.
Iowa, Missouri, Wichita State, Nebraska-Omaha, Kansas State, Pittsburg State and Kansas all participated in the tournament. Trophies were awarded to Nebraska-Omaha, for first place, and Wichita State, for second place, based on Saturday's play.
Steve Hennenhoefer, St. Louis senior, said he thought Kansas out played Iowa.
After defeating Iowa and Missouri, Kansas was assured a spot in what was to be yesterday's playoffs. Robey decided to give the reserves who showed up for the tournament a chance to play.
"My second team played really well above the level I was expecting," he said.
He stepped in front of a pass toward the sideline by Frerotte, bobbled the ball momentarily and scamped untouched down the sideline for the score.
The Jayhawks scored their final points in the second half on Douglas' third touchdown run and with the three field goals by Eichloff.

Dillard said the team played its best soccer this year against Missouri and Iowa.
Robey said he started varsity players against Wichita. State and then replaced them with reserve players as the game progressed.
"We haven't been beat like that in a long time," he said. "I should take the blame for not preparing them better after the Texas &M loss. I suppose we had too many eggs in that basket."
"I'm glad I called the play," Mason said. "I told those guys that if I called the play, they'd better score, or I would have been ticked off."
Shortly after that kick, Eichloff lined up for a 58-yard field goal attempt on fourth down, but senior quarterback Chip Hilleary took the snap and shoveled the ball to senior fullback Monte Cozzens, who ran six yards for a first down.
Bowen said he thought senior defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield tipped the ball before he caught it.
Tulsa coach Dave Rader said he was not expecting the Jayhawks to triumph as easily as they did.
But Bowen's interception squelched any notions of a Tulsa comeback.
When Tulaa senior linebacker Chris Bratcher picked off a pass by Hilleary four minutes later, the Golden Hurricane looked like it might make a charge.
The 'Hawks went up 17-7 two plays later on a 15-yard touchdown run by Douglas.
After a decisive Jahewk victory over Ball State last week, Mason said the Jahewks had not arrived yet as a team.
Kansas senior defensive tackle Gilbert Brown hurt his right knee in the first quarter, suffering a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament. He is not expected to play Thursday against California.
Senior strong safety Charlie Bowen's interception return was Kansas' first for a touchdown since Deral Boykin returned one against Montana State on Sept. 2, 1989.
NOTES:
The Jayhawks recorded 27 first downs Saturday and are averaging 26 a game.
The Jayhawks are 3 for 3 in fourth down conversions this year.
The Kansas defense held one of the country's premiere running backs, Tulsa senior Ron Jackson, to 10 yards rushing on eight carries.
"We still have a ways to go," he said.
He has the same opinion, even after Saturday's game.
■ Kansas began this year and last year with a 3-0 record. Kansas last had 3-0 starts in back-to-back seasons since 1914-1915.
Tulsa senior place-kicker Eric Lange missed a 46-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. The miss snapped Lange's string of 19 consecutive field goals.

But perhaps none shone so bright as the Kansas seniors.
There were many stars for the Jayhawk in their 40-7 drubbing of Tulsa Saturday at Skelly Stadium. But perhaps none shone so
Seniors scored every Kansas touchdown and turned in key defensive plays in Kansas' third game of the year.
Senior running back Maurice Douglas scored three touchdowns and had a career-high 74 yards rushing.
After Douglas scored his second touchdown of the game and Kansas went up 17-7, Tulsa began to drive down the field.
"On the sidelines, me and a couple of other guys were saying we needed an interception for a touchdown," Douglas said. "I think we were kind of wishing that would happen."
And it did.
Senior strong safety Charley Bowen returned an interception 63 yards for a touchdown and helped the Jayhawks to a 24-7 lead.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said, "I was cheering him all the way down."
Bowen said he thought Tulsa might have underestimated the
pressure that the Kansas defense would put on them.
One player who put a lot of pressure on Tulsa quarterbacks was senior defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield, who had one sock and two tackles. He was in the midst of many plays throughout the night.
Stubblefield tried to get Kansas fans at the game fired up.
"I'm a crowd person," he said. "I was glad that they were out here because Tulsa was looking to beat us, but they didn't do it."
He said he could see a demoralization in the Tulsa fans as the game progressed.
"You could hear their fans getting more quiet," he said.
Senior quarterback Chip Hillery often silenced the crowd by scrambling out of the pocket and completing crucial third-down passes.
He completed 14 of 23 passes for 180 yards before giving way to sophomore Frederick Thomas early in the fourth quarter.
Hilleary's longest pass was a 42-yard bomb to senior wide receiver Matt Gay, who caught five passes for 99 yards.
Gay accounted for more than half of the team's receiving yards Saturday.
