Colorado wins first home game Buffaloes' offense stymies Jayhawks
From Staff and Wire Reports
BOULDER, Colo.—One week after the Kansas Jayhawks surprised the Iowa State Cyclones, 24-17, mental mistakes and early-season woes came back to haunt them.
Just when the Jayhawks looked as if they had found an offensive niche in defeating the Cyclones in the last game of the season at Memorial Stadium, inconsistency began playing a familiar tune in Saturday's game with the Colorado Bufaloes.
Meanwhile, Colorado coach Bill McCarty took a gamble by changing his injury-riddled offense.
McCarthy benched starting quarterback Randy Essington in favor of Steve Vogel, a signal-caller whose performance has wobbled from brilliant to dismal. But Vogel went out and threw three touchdown passes to Richard Johnson, who crossed the goal line on a rushing pass and gave Colorado its first Big Eight conference win of the year, a 84-38 victory over Kansas.
Johnson also gained 102 yards on 21 carries and ran back a kickoff for 28 yards.
THE LOSS pulled Kansas into the cellar with Colorado. Both are 1-4 in the Big Eight. The
Buffaloes, who won their first home game of the season, have an overall record of 2-7.1. The Javahawks are 2-4.2.
"Randy could have played," McCarrin said. "But Steve earned the start. He stepped in for us against Missouri and gave us one of our biggest halves (200 yards passing). He deserved a shot."
Vogel, who was 10 of 20 for 172 yards, hit
Honson on a screen pass on the second play of
the game, and Johnson broke a couple of tackles
and raced 77 yards for the score with 54 gage.
Eleven minutes later, Johnson caught a flare
in the 13 yards to make it 14-6 after the
first period.
Johnson made it 21-3 on a five-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter, and later scored on a two-yard dive that capped a short 20-yard drive by the Buffaloes.
KANSAS, HAMPERED by a tenacious Colorado defense, managed only 40-yard field goal by Bruce Kallmeyer with 2:39 to play in the third period.
Johnson's three touchdown catches tied a Big Eight record for most scoring receptions in a single game and set a Colorado record in that category. Johnson also became the first Buffalo back to gain more than 100 yards in a game this season.
"When you play as bad as we did against
Colorado, the only thing we can be thankful for is the opportunity to play one more ball game," said KU head coach DumBamrouh. "It would mean to end the season on a performance like we had."
The Jayhawks linnah the season Saturday at
Columbia against the Tigers, a 42-14
linnah the season.
"Right now, we are getting outmanned and outplayed," Fambrough said. "We are playing a lot of freshman and have a number of injuries; the team is making it up, but the effort this team has to give to be successful."
"WE are not that good of a football team and
"We don't give an all-out effort, we are going to
play hard."
Reserve linebackers Willie Pless and Bill Malavalli were among the few bright spots in the Kansas defense. Pless, a freshman from Aniston, Ala., led the Jawahры with 11 tackles and had a fumble recovery. Malavalli recorded including one of only two Jawahрь stop for losses.
But Bambridge said he was very disappointed in the play of the Jayhawks and labeled the game "unfair."
"I totally confused with our play," Fambrigha said, "with freshmen playing, you aren't a joke."
missed tackles, poor blocking and lack of execution that makes you a more football team."
Colorado took the opening kickoff and wasted little time in scoring the game's first points. After a three-yard gain by Johnson, Vogel hit Johnson in the flat with a screen pass, and he raced 77 yards untouched for the score. Tom Field kicked the first of his four extra points.
THE BUFFALOES made the score 14-0 with
3:06 remaining in the first quarter when Johnson
tallied his second touchdown on a 12-yard pass
on the 12-play drive, rushing the 10-tail.
Colorado, as has every team this season, picked on Kansas' defense, which ranks 96th in the nation against the rush. The Buffaloes utilized their running attack to gain 181 yards against the Jayhawks, who, ironically, rank 0.1 in the country against the pass.
Kansas, meanwhile, could not generate its offense. The Jayhawks rushed for only 128 yards and passed for 96. Frank Seuer threw three interceptions and Mike Bohn threw one.
Ten players carried the ball for Kansas, led by backlacks E.J. Jones and Dave Geroux. Jones gained 46 yards and Geroux had 44. Brad Burtts gained 13 yards and the backfield, gaining 21 yards on three carries.
Seattle edges by Houston,102-99 for 10th straight
By United Press International
HOUSTON—Gus Williams scored 20 points and Jack Sikma added 18 in leading the unbeaten Seattle SuperSonics to a 102-94 victory over the Boston Celtics last night before a sparse crowd of 6,576.
Seven, 10.0, is the only unbeaten team in the NBA. Seven of its victories have come on the road. Houston lost its eighth straight and is the only winless team in the league.
With six minutes remaining and Seattle ahead 90-75, Houston went on a 21-6 rush and pulled within to three within 39-96, with 58 seconds left. Rookie Terry Teagle scored nine points during the stretch. Seattle held on two free throws by Williams and one by David Thompson.
The Rockets were led by Teague's 22 points in his first NBA start. Ex-Sonic Walker added 15 for Houston; Caldwell Jones had 14 matches and led the Rockets in rebounding with nine.

The Kansas basketball team, coming off an impressive intrasquad contest on Wednesday, will get its first taste of outside competition when the NCAA regional championship in National Team tonight at Alen Field House.
he's been a great player.
In the Carolina Blue game, Jayhawk fans saw
him scoring one that runs and presses
"The coaches are emphasizing quickness and defense," freshman Kerry Boagni said. "We want to run, run, run."
If the intrasqua was any indication, the Javahawks will be able to do just that.
THE STARTERS, as expected, won the game easily, but the second team, or Blue squad, was impressive and from that team will come the third. We'll need it will need if the Hawks are to be a running team.
"I want to try to arrive at eight or nine players to play in our tough games." Owens said recently. "If a player knows someone can come in and play with them, they can go out all and play as hard as they can."
The probable starting lineup for tonight's contest will be the same as it was in the previous round.
6-5, at guards; Jeff Disham 6-5, and Bougni,
6-8, at forward; and either Brian Martin, 6-10
Top reserves should be freshman forward Calvin Thompson, who had 28 points and 12 rebounds ip the intrasquad; forward Mark Eckert, who had 30 points; Kellogg, 9 points; and guard Jeff Guef, 6 assists.
The Yugoslavia team is coming off a victory in the first game of its American tour. Dishman, senior co-captain, said that this game would mean a lot more than the intrasquad game did.
"I THINK we all put a little more emphasis on it when we play an opponent," Dishman, who had 8 points and 3 steals, said yesterday. "You pumped up just because it isn't your own team."
"It's good that we play our scrimmages early in the season, because it gives us time to iron things out. It shows us what we need to concentrate on."
One thing that the Jayhawks are hoping for is a good turnout by the fans. An unusually large crowd of 4,410 showed up to watch the Jayhawks in their intrasquared. Last season, Kansas home team the Bengals only played only the second time in Owens' career at Kansas that the average crowd dipped below 10,000.
"We were saying how surprised we were with the large turnout that we had." Dishman said.
"We feel we have an exciting team to watch and we put a lot of points on the board in the trip."
"Now we just have to follow it up."
JAYHAWK NOTES—The Jayhawks took advantage of the early letter-of-intent signing day, getting Jim Pelton, a 6-9 senior from Palos Verdes High School, to join the Jayhawk fold. Pelton averaged 15.1 points and 10.2 rebounds a game his junior year at Palos Verdes. He was selected as a high school honorable mention player in the Statewide Stateazine and also selected by Street and Smith as one of the top five players in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Coach Ted Owens following the Crimson-Blue game that the Jayhawks expected to sign only one player early, so it is not expected that the Jayhawks will sign anyone else until Ann.
Junior Carl Henry, who scored 32 points and had 6 rebounds in the intrasquad game, was named as a preseason All-American by Street and Smith.
Entrance for tonight's game with the Yugoslavia National team will cost KU students $1 and a can of food. The food will be donated to families in need and contributed to families in need during Thanksgiving.
Hopes slim for boxer's life
By United Press International
Kim, 23, lapsed into a coma seconds after Mancini slammed a hard right hand to his head at the 19-second mark of the 14th round in the final. She was eventually televised title bout at Caesars Palace.
LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Korean boxer Duk-Koo Kim remained alive yesterday only with the aid of a life support system after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage during a World Boxing Association lightweight championship fight Saturday against Rav Mancini.
Lonnie Hammargren, the Las Vegas
neurosurgery who removed a 100cc blood clot from Kim's head during a 2%-hour operation Saturday, said yesterday Kim's condition was stable. The respirator was attached to the injured fighter.
"We know there is massive brain damage," Hammergren said. "His eyes are fixed and almost all of his reflexes are gone. We always try to keep a little hope, but his chances of survival are very small. These injuries are usually fatal."
Hammargreen said "in all probability" a small vein was ruptured in the right side of Kim's brain from a single blow thrown by Mancini late in the fight.

K-State volleyball team wins three of four from Jayhawks

The Kansas State Wildcats' volleyball team fought off the Kansas Jayhawks' attempts to win by taking three of four games Friday night at Ahearn Field House in Manhattan.
In the first game, the Jayhawks claimed a 15-7 victory. Kansas held at least a five-point lead
But after the teams switched courts for the second game, Kansas State took command for the remainder of the match, defeating the Jayhawks, 15-2, 15-8 and 15-0.
"What can I say," said KU coach Bob Lockwood. "We couldn't set, block or spike. You could name it and we couldn't do it."
One thing Lockwood could say was that he praised the efforts of the team and their ability to keen ahead of the Wildcats in the first game.
"The our nervousness threw us off guard," Lockwood said. "I really can't say what made us uneasy."
In the second game, however, the Jayhawks were plagued by countless unnecessary errors, Lockwood said. The problem stemmed from the fact that Jayhawks were unable to retrieve they had gained in the match matcher, he said.
During the third and fourth games, Kansas lost all hopes of taking home a victory by making the same errors time and time again.
"I can't say that I'm disappointed in the girls," Lockwood said. "Just with the loss. The girls worked so hard the previous week in practice. When you lack enthusiasm and the desire to remain confident, you will always lose."
This week's workout will focus on a different game plan, which, according to Lockwood, is still undetermined. Lockwood said that to get to the zone he would have to have players would have to deal with them one by one.
"Whatever we decide to do, I am confident that the team will start playing as they meant to." Lockwood said. "We still have the team that is our most important championship this weekend and I know we can do it."
The Jayhawks will have this week to pull together before the Big Eight Championships.
Pryor-Arguello: Will drugs spoil great title fight?
Aaron Prvor, the World Boxing Association junior welterweight champion, Friday defeated Alex Arguello, the World Boxing Council lightweight champion, in one of the greatest fights in boxing since Muhammad Joe Frazier in the "Thrilla in Manila."
The fight had everything it was supposed to, and was one of the few fights in recent years that were not fought at the arena.
From the opening bell until Pryor scored a technical knockout in the 14th round, the fighters went toe-to-toe and hit each other all they had.
BUT PRYOR came off his stool in the 14th but Pruryar armed early. Pryer never let up until the referee stepped in to stop the fight. The referee made the right call in stopping the light because Arguelo was unable to retrieve. Pryer was once again the champion
But yesterday, a black cloud was thrown over the entire fight.
Arguello seemed to be the stronger fighter as the fight went on as he closed the gap that Pryor had built in the early rounds. As the 14th round opened, Pryor was ahead by two points on two of the judges cards and Arguello was ahead on the third.
Arruello's agent, Bill Miller, has filed a protest with the WBA, saying that Pryor "was administered obvious foreign substances, which are against the rules." After the he was beaten "by a great champion" and that he would not question Pryor's victory.
But the protest is in the hands of the WBA and they should act on the fight.
Miller's allegations concern the liquid Pryor was given by his handlers between

rounds and the type of inhalation that Pryor's corner used.
HE CLAMS that Panama Lewis, Pryor's trainer, asked for a special mixture to give to Pryor during the fight. Anyone who saw the fight would know that Lewis did ask for something that he had "mixed earlier." The police also heard that Lewis televised the fight and had a microphone in Pryor's corner in that round. Lewis' request for the bottle came over loud and clear.
Now the WBA must find out whether Pryor took illegal drugs during the fight. That would be easy if the WBA had the results of an investigation by Miller said that no urine samples were taken
Miller said the liquid was illegal. Lewis said the liquid was only a mixture of Ponder with linalool and ethyl acetate.
The only unprejudiced opinion on the matter has come from Gene Marks, a member of the Miami Board Council. Marks, who was at ringside for the fight, said some of the liquid spilled on him and that the liquid did not appear to be water.
WHATEVER COMES out of the protest, it will tarnish the results of a fight that has been long over.
Boxing is not like it used to be. The heavyweights were once the glamour boys of the sport. But the slow pace of most boxers has wrapped that weight class from the public eye.
The boxers who people know today are Arguello, Ray "Boom-Boom" Mancini, Roberto Duran and before his retirement, Sugar Ray Leonard.
They bring to the world of boxing a freshness of loving the sport they represent. They are the ones upon whose shoulders the future of boxing rests.
Mancini, after winning the WBA lightweight title, said he wanted to travel around the world and fight to promote the sport that he had devoted his life to.
One can only hope that the Pror-Arguello contest, a great fight in every sense of the word, will not be brought down a level because of some illegal play.
