KU Play Looks Encouraging Despite 23-15 Loss
By Ern Ballweg
Although KU lost to Arizona, 23-15, Saturday afternoon, head coach Jack Mitchell was far from being completely discouraged by the play of his young Jayhawks.
"I was very, very pleased by the way these boys came back in that second half and the way they went after Arizona, and I told them so." Mitchell said. He added that KU's second half defense was particularly impressive for this early in the season.
Mitchell also singled out rookie quarterback Bill Fenton, who took over the controls when Bob Skahan re-injured a pulled hamstring muscle in the second half, for praise.
"FENTON DID a tremendous job and he might start next week even if Skahan has recovered from his injury," Mitchell said. "Fenton was throwing real well. He just needs a little more speed in order to sprint out better, but he's a real competitor."
On the not-so-encouraging side
of the game however, were the two gift touchdowns that Arizona picked up on a 75 yard pass interception and after a blocked punt which Arizona recovered on the six yard line.
Penalties also proved costly to the Jayhawks as several drives were halted by illegal motion penalties.
"We couldn't figure out what was causing all those illegal procedure penalties until one of the officials finally told us the snap from Bob Kruetzer, our sophomore center, was too slow." Mitchell said.
IT WASN'T ANY one lineman, it was all of them. When Kruetzer was told to hurry his snap the penalties ended, Mitchell added.
Also on the discouraging side was Willie Ray Smith's re-injured knee. He was forced to sit out most of the game. The extent of Smith's injury is not yet known, but the loss of the speedy end would be a blow to the Jayhawks. Smith was the recipient of Fenton's 97 yard
scoring heave against Texas Tech last week.
After Smith's injury, slot back Sim Stokes was moved to split end. Stokes responded by catching nine passes for 138 yards and one touchdown, tying a Big Eight record in the process.
STOKES' REPLACEMENT at slotback, Dick Abernathy, also responded well to the move as he skirted KU's right end for a 48 ward touchdown after taking a lateral from quarterback Skahan.
KU had a definite advantage in the statistic column despite being behind on the scoreboard. The Jayhawks racked up 20 first downs to eight for Arizona and they also gained 297 yards rushing and pass-

We think it is obvious that the Berkeley students were representative of a new generation on college campuses - politically aware and involved, preoccupied with protest, and sensitive to social abuses. In The Berkeley Student Revolt, that generation - your generation, if you are reading this column in your college newspaper - has its say.
Two days after the start of a new semester last September, an open letter by "a former student" called upon students at the University of California at Berkeley to "organize and split this campus wide open" in an "open, fierce, and thoroughgoing rebellion."
What happened at Berkeley during the months that followed was unprecedented in American university history. During a series of demonstrations, sit-ins, and riots, one of the world's largest and most famous centers of learning was brought to the edge of collapse.
For anyone who is part of a college campus this Fall of 1965, it is important and fascinating reading.
In The Berkeley Student Revolt: Facts and Interpretations ($1.95, an Anchor Original published on September 3), two eminent teachers at Berkeley, a sociologist and a political scientist, have assembled a wide range of significant views from participants on both sides of the dispute and outside observers. The editors, Seymour Martin Lipset and Sheldon S. Wolin, are themselves in disagreement over the meaning of the revolt. They do agree, however, that the events at Berkeley have an importance that transcends their immediate local consequences. The University of California has been regarded by many as a prototype of the future form of public education. Whatever the merits of the students' case, their attack against the University raises an important and alarming question about the ability of a fundamental modern institution to meet the demands of the future.
The Berkeley Student Revolt includes a detailed chronology that explains what actually took place during an often confusing series of events. The volume also collects many of the manifestos, broadsidees, pamphlets, statements, and releases distributed by both sides, which convey a sense of what the participants actually thought and felt.
The Berkeley Student Revolt is published by the sponsors of this column, Doubledley Anchor Books, 277 Park Avenue, New York City and Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York. You'll find it at one of the best equipped booksellers in the country - your own college store.
