KU grounds Gophers
Journey to ISU
Fresh from a 16-14 upset victory over Minnesota, the Kansas Jayhawkers will open Big Eight Conference action this Saturday against Iowa State University at Ames.
KU, with a 2-1 record in nonconference action, will be playing its third straight road game.
Iowa State already has two league contests behind them, both of which resulted in losses to powerful Oklahoma and Nebraska. The Cyclones are paced by their star quarterback, Tim Van Galder.
Both the offensive and defensive teams had its moments with outstanding individual efforts and solid teamwork.
In Saturday's action, KU leading all the way, upset the Minnesota Golden Gophers 16-14 there.
THE FIRST quarter was mainly offense. Led by Dave Bouda, who moved from the third team to the starting quarterback position, drove the team to a score the first two times KU had the ball. The Omaha junior marched the Jayhawks 84 yards in 11 plays the first time, mostly through the efforts of Don Shanklin.
KU's second march stalled on the Gopher nine, so Bouda kicked a field goal.
'Minnesota scored just before the half.
THE SECOND HALF was a defensive effort for KU. The defense stopped Minnesota's highly touted running game. On the other
hand, the pass defense couldn't contain Larry Carlson who had almost an uncanny ability to throw to where Jayhawks weren't, in hitting 11 straight passes after entering the game.
Bob Douglass, who played most of the second half, was replaced by Bob Skahan for three plays in the third quarter.
THE GOPHERS' other score came in the third quarter.
Next week, the Jayhawks meet Iowa State at Ames for the Kansas conference opener.

example:
Zook feels teams are more evenly balanced in the Big Eight this year. He also thinks somebody is going to knock off Nebraska.
Minnesota was able to pass for 204 yards against Kansas.
"We expect Iowa State to be similar to Arizona. It'll be a tough game, but we're ready," Zook said.
"It was speed and quickness in our defensive line that enabled us to contain Minnesota's running game," Zook said.
"If we can avoid key injuries we could be top contenders in the Big Eight this year," Zook says.
"The defensive secondary is improving with every game," he said.
"A chemistry major named Bleaker,

He said, 'It's more fun!
It holds two cans,
not one,
As an experience,
it's even uniquer.'"
