Tigers nip Jayhawks with one swift play
By JERRY KLEIN Assistant Sports Editor
It took Missouri one play to score and the rest of the game to prove that it deserved the victory.
Nine plays after the Tigers received the second half kickoff, quarterback Gary Kombrink faded back from his own 46-yard line, fired a bullet pass to Earl Denney and watched his swift halfback race down the right sideline for the touchdown.
In fact, they might have battled for a few more days if it weren't for Kombrink and Denney as MU defeated the Jayhawks, 7-0, before a record series crowd of 53,200.
JUST HOW DID MU outmaneuver the KU defense?
Kombrink termed the pass pattern "Tiger Right," a new formation that coach Dan Devine installed for the game.
GARY KOMBRINK Kombrink, MU quarterback attempts to score.
On the play, the tight end, who in this case was Marty Berg, runs a hook pattern over the middle. After he hooks, the slotback, set to the right, runs straight down field.
If the primary receiver is covered, the quarterback tries to hit the slotback. And that's just what happened as Kombrink fired the ball to Denney at the KU 34. He then outraced the last two defenders, Bill Lynch and Tommy Ball.
Kombrink admitted in the MU locker room he did not think of calling the play nor was it sent
in from the bench by Devine.
Denney made the decision.

"In the huddle just before that play, Earl told me he thought he might be open," Kombrink said.

As it turned out, Denney was so open that he caught the ball on the run without even lunging.

On the other hand, KU coach Jack Mitchell said "it was the same old story," referring to the third down and long yardage plays that have hurt the Jayhawks throughout the season. The winning touchdown was scored on a third and eight situation.
For most of the hard hitting game, play centered between the 40-yard lines. Outside of the winning touchdown, MU only advanced to the KU 30. The Jayhawks did no better, threatening only once.
Late in the third quarter, KU drove to the Missouri nine in 11 plays, and moved no farther. Three running plays failed. On fourth down, Dave Bouda's 18-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Bill Schmidt.
With the traditional KU-MU game, another Jayhawk season has ended. For the first time since 1954, the Jayhawks failed to win a Big Eight game. They finished with a record of 2-7-1.
But the Tigers probably will continue to play. Asked about a bowl bid, Devine said it had to be cleared by the administration and then voted on by the players. He did not indicate any bowl bid had been received. MU won six and tied one in 10 games.
Varsity to meet Frosh tonight
KU's defending Big Eight basketball champions will make their first appearance of the 1966-67 season tonight in the annual Varsity-Freshman game at Allen Field House. The game begins at 8 p.m.

Jayhawk head coach Ted Owens plans to start three sophomores, including guard Jo Je White who already has a semester of varsity competition to his credit.
White joined the Jayhawks at mid-year last season and played a major role in their drive to the Big Eight title. The only game KU lost after White moved up to the varsity was the double-overtime struggle to national champion Texas Western in the midwest NCAA regional at Lubbock, Texas.
The two full-fledged sophomores Owens plans to start Monday are Vernon Vanoy, a 6-8 pivotman from Lincoln High of Kansas City, and Phil Harmon, a 6-4 guard from Tulsa, Okla.
ROUNDING OUT the starting five will be a pair of 6-7 senior forwards, Ron Franz of Kansas City and Bob Wilson of St. Louis. Franz is the most experienced man on the squad, having started all 27 games last season, and Wilson was one of the team's top reserves a year ago when the Jayhawks had a 23-4 record.
been rotating in the regular lineup during recent practices are junior forward and pivot Rodger Bohnesthiel, Collinsville, Ill. senior guard Pat Davis from Topeka and sophomore Bruce Sloan from Kansas City. Sloan, 6-5 former prep All-America, is working at both guard and forward.
Three other players who have
Others on the varsity squad are George Yarnevich, 6-5 junior from Kansas City, and sophomores Howard Arndt, 6-7, Republic, Mo.; Jae Ediger, 6-5, Hutchinson; Ron Lang, 6-4, Leavenworth, and Rich Thomas, 6-2, Dietierich. Ill.
Freshman coach Bob Mulcahy said he will open the game with Gary Dickerson, 6-4 forward from Shawnee Mission North, and four boys from Illinois. Three starters from Chicago will be Richard Bradshaw, 6-3; Jim Hoffman, 5-7; and Carl Janis, 6-2. Mulcahy's other starter is Chester Lawrence, 6-4. Vienna, Ill.
The frosh roster has been bolstered with the recent addition of six football players. They are Broc Blair, 6-2, Oswego; Jim Ettinger, 6-3, Bartlesville, Okla.; Jim Hayes, 5-10, Atwood; John Mosier, 6-3, Wichita; Bob Tyus, 6-5, Kansas City, and Tom West, 6-2, Leavenworth.
