MANHATTAN—The University of Nebraska hasn't lost two regular season football games in a row since 1961, the year before Bob Devaney went to Nebraska and made Cornhushner football a legend. That's just one reason the University of Kansas team didn't spend much time雕像 on Saturday over archival Kenegas State
"They have a fine football team," Moore said. "I'm sure they'll be ready to play."
"We always happy to win," KU coach
said. "We're in a better day, but we've got
of work on us."
Nebraska was the victim of the giant-killer Missouri, who handed the Huskers their first loss of the season, 34-24, in Lincoln. Nebraska comes here Saturday to play KU, and there is every reason to think they'll bring all their guns.
NEBRASKA has beaten the Jayhawks 66 on the last two games the teams have played in Lawrence, and the 'Huskers will most likely be favored to win again.
"Last year we played them a good game, but they embarrassed us at home two years ago," said Lavene Smith, KU halfback, who played against KA in a back-and-forth against KS-Station, including a 41-yard touchdown run that enabled him to break Bud French's career touchdown and scoring records (23 touchdowns, 136 points). "They did it all time. The defense is playing too well."
KU'S defense did play well Saturday, allowing K-State only 190 yards in total offense, 59 of which came in a fourth-quarter 94-yard scoring drive. Thirty-five KU runs in that game, sixteen KU rides, each on third-down plays that probably would have ended the drive.
THE JAYHAWK$^3$ victory ended their two-game collapse and upped their season record to 5-2 and their conference record to 1-2. The Wildcats are 6 on the season and 0-3 in the Big Eight. KU now leads the NBA in points per game, but it was not won or fed only three of the last 21 contests.
The points KU scored as a result of the hurdles - a touchdown and a field goal - were 41.2, 36.7, and 30.6.
Cromwell's replacements keep offense rolling along
The Jayhawks had surged to a 24-10 lead early in the third-quarter after two costly Wildcat fumbles, one on a punt and the other on a missed handoff.
With 14 left in the third quarter, K-State defensive back Marvin Svirin intercepted a pass by KU's new No. 2 quarterback, Jeff Burke, for 65 yards for K-State's first touchdown.
*Very few of the 43,900 who saw the game;*
*I knew how much time was left in the third quarter; and the main fmctionalized. The clock was fixed by the fourth quartet, however, in time for the fans to join.*

MANHATTAN—Nolan Cromwell sat in a wheelchair and the aidles intently engaged.
By STEVE SHOENFELD
Suddenly, he let out a warwoo and a big smile
He had reason to be happy—the KU quarterbacks were doing the job. Senior Scott McMichael and sophomore Mark Lissak were moving the Jahawks' offense, leading Kansas to a 24-14 victory over K-State Saturday.
MCMICHAEL WAS the more effective of the two quarterbacks against K-State, rushing for one touchdown and leading the offense to two more scores.
Cromwell's season ended in a loss to Oklahoma Oct. 16, when he suffered torn left shoulder.
"Oyeh, they did a good job," Cromwell said. "They are both very capable. They
"These were different circumstances today for the whole team," McMichael said. "Losing Nolan, we just started out today knowing we had to get on the right track."
"I thought he had good execution of intensively," he said. "I overthrew a couple times—wish I would've hit on a couple of passes—but overall I was pleased."
"We had to move the ball early. And we knew we could execute offensively against them from looking at last year's and this year's films."
MCMICHAL WAS replaced by Lissak in the third quarter. On his first play of varsity ball, Lissak, a diminutive 5-11, 16-pounder, scannered 12 vards for a first down.
McMichael was pleased with his performance.
"I tried to stay as calm as I could," Lissak said. "Scott played real well and gave us a lead and that took a little pressure off.
Lissak, who ran the wishbone in high school, scored the Jayhawks only touchdown.
"When I went out there, I just tried to get my head together and move the ball. After the first play when I gained those yards, I was relaxed. You're always nervous on the first play because you don't have your adrenaline flowing."
"Coach Moore said to me before the game that he thought Scott and I could move the ball and that there was a pretty good chance I'd play some."
LISSAK SAID he wasn't surprised when coach Bud Moore sent him in.
"No, I'm not a good passer," Lisiak said with a big smile. "That's one of my weak parts."
burst. But he didn't do as well passing, going none for two with an interruption.
BEFORE CROMWELL'S illusion, the Jaywahys' had planned on red-shirting both Lissak and Mark Vicendese. Lissak didn't know whether he was glad he used up his sophomore year of eligibility by playing Saturday.
"We've got four more games," he said. "If I play then, I'll be satisfied."
"But if would be better to have expedition trips to the Wilderness today. I still have to work on a lot of stuff." Some of the players thought it could have been better, but Jay hawks had the need to beat the Wildcat.
"WE HAD to win this," running back Laverne Smith said. "They picked us to lose. I knew we couldn't lose to them. We had to win. Running. We had to get that feeling again."
Lissak was blase about the whole thing,
"I was excited, but I didn't show it. I just
tugged at her. It hurts."
McMichael said, "The game had a lot to do with the way we play to the rest of the year. There was a question mark in a lot of people's minds about whether we'd win another game after Nolan was hurt. Not only from my standpoint, but it was important for the whole team to show we could come back and win again."
Lissak didn't have to get too excited. Cromwell did it for him.
CROMWELL, who was released from
punishment on Friday after binge-
ing with friends in a Friday after-
care program at The Children's
Inspired model school.
KU was in control most of the way, allowing Moore to see quarterback Lissak in varsity action for the first time. Moore had planned to red-shirt Lissak and another player from Indiana Vincentes, but no injury to Nolan Cromwell forced Moore to abandon that plan.

Moore said he was happy with the performance of both KU quarterbacks, though he had to put Scott McMichael back into the game after the Cats had cut KU's lead to 10.

pleased with the way both quarterbacks performed. They made some mistakes, but overall they did an excellent job. I washoing to play them both."
MOORE SAID McMichael ran the ball as well as he had seen him do since he came to KU last year. McMichael rushed for 24 yards on eight carriers. The Hawks rushed for 286 yards in all, but their passing game continued to be poor. Only one of eight scored for 57 yards. Fourteen yards, K-State, however, passed for 122 yards on nine completions.
KU apparently came out of the game without any serious injuries, Moore said.
Broncos repel Chiefs'attack
Newly appointed No. 2 quarterback Mark Lissak gets 12 yards on first carry
KANSAS CITY (AP) -- Quarterback Steve Ramsey fired a pair of touchdown passes, but it was the Denver Broncos' defense with its reputation on the line that made the difference yesterday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"We played good short-yardage all day. The Chiefs are one of the better offenses we have played this year." Denver linebacker Randy Gradishar said after the Broncos held off the Chiefs for a wild 35-26 National Football League victory.
