KU 2-6 for Season NU Rushes to Victory
Red hats were tossed in the air Saturday in Lincoln, Neb., but they were not KU senior hats. They were owned by the "Big Red" of Nebraska.
The Jayhawks' 42-6 loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers ranks among the worst suffered by a Kansas squad in Jack Mitchell's eight years as head coach at KU. Mitchell's most disasterous defeat was in 1958 at the hands of Oklahoma's Sooners, 43-0. The 'Hawks also suffered a 42-0 loss to Texas Christian the same year.
NEBRASKA gained 419 yards rushing, its top total of the season, and added 91 yards in passing. The Cornhuckers averaged 28 yards punting. They punted twice.
At the end of the first half, KU slipped into the picture. Passes by Bill Fenton, Kansas City junior, and up-the-middle runs by Dick Bacon, Neodesha senior, moved the Jayhawks 90 yards in 13 plays. Fenton lunged two yards for the lone KU touchdown.
renton hit three of five passes in the 80-yard drive for 47 yards. Bacon contributed runs of 14 and eight yards to the scoring drive. Earlier in the game Bacon broke for a 49-yard run.
COACH MITCHELL has pegged Nebraska as the No. 1 team in the nation all season. Mitchell is on the ratings board for one of the wire services.
"I've been voting for them (the Huskers) all season as No. 1," Mitchell said.
"I believe this is the best team we've ever faced," he said.
"When we came into the game,
I felt we could contain 'em to a certain degree," he said, "but thought they would crowd us so much on defense that they would force us into fumbles and errors.

If our defense hadn't fallen apart so completely, I think maybe we could have kept the score respectable."
