Worst Season Seems Imminent
By Dick Russell.
KU's worst football season in 11 years now seems imminent following a 21-7 loss to Iowa State University Saturday.
The Jayhawks will head for Norman, Okla., this weekend with an 0-4 record, the worst start Coach Jack Mitchell has ever had as a head football coach.
TWICE KU FUMBLES led to I-State scores. After Ron Halda covered one on the Cyclone 45, quarterback Tim Van Galder unleashed a 45-yard aerial to Tom Busch, who was downed on the 10. Moments later I-State led. 7-0.

The story was the same Saturday as in previous losses: mistakes, mistakes and more mistakes. Four lost fumbles, an intercepted pass and 53 yards on penalties stymied any hope the Hawks might have had.
SKAHAN CARRIES-Kansas dropped their aerial attack Saturday, completing only three of 11 pass attempts, and stayed on the ground.
On the first play of the second half a fumble by Bill Gerhards, Leavenworth senior, set up the clinching touchdown. Van Galder's 53-yard aerial to Eppie Barney upped the count to 14-0.
"WE COULDN'T THROW it and we couldn't catch it," moaned Mitchell after the game.
Mitchell said he was pleased with the defense, except for the Cyclones' "three big plays."
Mitchell was referring to three Van Galder aerials, to Busch,

"YOU TAKE THOSE three plays out. . . . But we've been saying that all year. You can't take them out. It looks like a long, dry fall. We just must not be as good as we thought we'd be." Mitchell said.
The lone Jayhawk touchdown was spurred by the running of Mike Johnson, Garden City senior, and Gerbards. Fenton capped the 56-yard effort, scoring from the three. The lead narrowed to 14-7, but I-State soon put it out of reach.
Van Galder, the big man in the I-State victory, felt the Jayhawks hit even harder than Nebraska the week before. The only difference? Nebraska won, 44-0.
In the Cyclone dressing room, Coach Clay Stapleton had an interesting observation about the Jawhaws.
The punting of Bill Lynch, Hutchinson sophomore, was the only bright spot for KU. Lynch averaged 53 yards on six boots, one traveling 70 yards.
"THEY SEEM to be confronted with many of the same problems I faced last year. They've had injuries, mishaps and bad fortune which nobody can control. Last year, I didn't know from one week to the next who was going to play. That must be KU's problem." Stapleton said.
