Around the Big 8
By ROBERT STEVENS
Johnny Manel, Kansas State's freshman quarterback, may have taken some of the fans at the Wildcats' frosh game Monday back a decade or two in football history.
After K-State scored its first touchdown in the second quarter, Manel lined up as the snap-receiving back in a shotgun formation. Oklahoma prepared to defend against the two-point conversion try. Wildcat center Ron Stevens spiraled the ball back to Manel.
Now a flashback into history.
Manel took one step and dropped the ball. His right leg swung forward and the ball went end over end high over the crossbar, splitting the uprights. A perfect dropkick.
The 2.500 K-State fans were taken by surprise but quickly roared their approval. And they continued to do so all day as the Wildcat frosh defeated Oklahoma, 17-7, for K-State's first freshman victory since 1957.

Dave Bouda has been the man of the hour at KU the last two weeks, leading the Jayhawks
to two straight wins. Asked why he went to Bouda for help rather than riding all the way with sophomore Bob Douglass, Jack Mitchell answered: "Bouda's a little more mature—he is kinda like a sedative."

Injecting a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor into the unfortunate bombing of the Iowa State University gridiron before last Saturday's ball game, coach Clay Stapleton dead-panned: "If it had been placed by the bench where I stand, I would have known what it was for after last week."
A group of former Nebraskans living in Tucson, Ariz., sent Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney a sweater, noting that Alabama Coach Bear Bryant said his lucky sweater was responsible for victory in the Orange Bowl.
Replied Devaney, "I want to thank you for the beautiful sweater. It probably won't make me as smart as Bear Bryant, but at least I will look more collegiate."

Outstanding year is seen for Varsity bowling team
By MARK RIMMER
The KU men's varsity bowling team should have another outstanding season this year.
"I think we'll win the Mid- Continent Bowling League this year," bowling coach Warren Boozer said.
Last year in the regional tournament KU took first, second and eighth place in men's singles. For the three games Rod Heffley took first place with a 228 average. Ron Mick was second with a 219 average and Ron Hollday took eighth with a 194 average.
Stan Heffley, a freshman at KU this year, was an outstanding bowler in high school. He won the right to participate in the national American Junior Bowling Congress (AJBC) meet in Washington D.C. last year by winning the AJBC crown in Kansas. There was one bowler from each state, and he took eighth place.
"We have some outstanding freshman prospects coming up this year," Coach Boozer says. The first meet of the Mid-Continent Bowling League will be at KU Oct. 15. The teams competing in this league are: KU, K-State, OSU, Wichita Univer-
ity, Washburn University and Pittsburgh State Teachers College.
Rod Heffley bowled a 279 in the Big Eight tournament at Manhattan last year.
"We'll be a little stronger this year than we were last year," Coach Boozer said.
Four of KU's returning bowlers this year are from Kansas City. They are: Ron Mick, sophomore; Rod Heffley, junior; Gary Lus-
combe, sophomore, and Bill Walker, junior.
The other two returning bowlers are Ron Holliday, sophomore from Albuquerque, N.M. and John Kartsonis, a sophomore from Hutchinson.
