KU Atmosphere Changes With 9-0 Conference Win
By Dick Russell
T. W. Higginson, in his "Americanism in Literature," stated, "Fields are won by those who believe in the winning."
After five weekends of striving for that goal, the KU football team finally made it Saturday. Oklahoma State University fell, 9-0, and V-Jay day reigned on the KU campus.
It was an entirely different atmosphere that prevailed in the Jayhawk dressing room after the game. Well-wishers crowded about the lockers, congratulating everyone from Coach Jack Mitchell to the waterboy.
SMILES WERE SCARCE in the O-State quarters. Coach Phil Cutchin was barely cordial, and the most he would say was, "We didn't score and Kansas scored nine points."
The Jayhawk victory was a pleasant surprise to many of the announced 34,000 on hand. Before the game Oklahoma State was labeled anywhere from a seven to 14 point favorite. Every
member of the Topeka Capital sports staff picked KU to fall. All admitted they were glad they had erred.
AT THE PRESS meeting after the game, Coach Mitchell finally had a subject he enjoyed talking about--victory.
"As far as physical ability goes, this was the finest game any team of mine has ever played," he said. "I think our boys played as well as they are able to play. We played perfect football."
perfect team. The big surprise was the offense. In previous games, KU was perhaps the most error-prone team in the Big Eight conference. The story in each defeat was mistakes, penalties and fumbles.
BILL FENTON, junior quarterback from Wyandotte high in Kansas City, called his own game, something he'd always wanted to do. Fenton, who never thought he'd play a down for KU but got his chance when Bob Skahan, Columbus junior, was injured, directed the attack to perfection.
"Today, Fenton became a sound, authentic quarterback," Mitchell said. "He called almost every play. The difference was Fenton came up with the big plays for us when we needed
them."
On KU's first touchdown drive, capped by Kansas City, Mo, sophomore Rick Abernethy's 4-yard run, trap plays worked to perfection. When the Cowpokes adjusted, Fenton went to the option and wound up as the game's leading ground-gainer with 68 yards.
Two more sophomores figured prominently. Dave Bouda, Omaha, Neb. booted a 25-yard field goal and Bruce Peterson, Prairie Village, twice pounced on fumbles to halt O-State drives.
