Preserves 'Lucky' Victory KU Secondary Clicks
By Russ Corbitt (Sports Editor)
And if the Jayhawks' good fortune can extend itself for one more week, Coach Jack Mitchell and his charges can finish no worse than second in the Big Eight conference.
Dame Fortune has chosen one season to repay the KU football team for the many years she has turned her back to the competitors from Mount Oread.
"I THINK we are going downhill." Mitchell said dejectedly after the victory Saturday. "I think we hit our peak against Kansas State and Nebraska, and are now sliding backward."
The Jayhawks boosted their season record to 6-3 and league mark to 5-1 Saturday by defeating Colorado, 10-7. But Mitchell was anything but happy about his team's performance.
About the only optimistic offerings by Mitchell were directed at his defensive backfield which preserved
"That Kampschroeder and Crandall! O'boy!" Mitchell exclaimed. "And Duff must have made a thousand tackles."
the KU victory with a recovery in the end zone and three key interceptions.
Dave Crandall, only 5-10 and 171 pounds, stopped one of Colorado's fourth-quarter threats by recovering a CU fumble which end Bob Robben had knocked loose. The play started on the KU four-yard line, and Crandall fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchback.
Halley Kampschroeder supplied the final cork by hauling in a CU pass on the KU 18 and returning it to the KU 43 with 1:08 remaining in the game.
LATER IN the period Crandall again played the spoiler by intercepting a Buff pass in KU territory.
The key interception by Kampschroeder not only halted a possible Colorado touchdown, but also prevented a tying field goal. KU ran
the clock out on two plays for the victory.
GARY DUFF, who has turned into KU's "do-everything" back this season, gave another outstanding performance and enhanced his chances for All-American honors.
The team leader in both solo and assisted tackles this season, Duff also got into the interception act Saturday. His grab came late in the third quarter on the KU 20, thus ending another CU threat.
Duff's kicking toe also played arominent role in the victory, as his 33-yard field goal in the third quarter provided the winning margin. The three-pointer put Duff only one field goal away from the school record.
IN ADDITION to adding the extra point on KU's touchdown, the Salina senior was also called on for two quick kicks. His surprise boots averaged 47 yards, one being a S3-yarder which went out of bounds on the CU 8.
Freshmen Score Early, Earn Undefeated Season

The KU freshman football team pushed across 19 points in five minutes during the first half to take a 26-6 halftime lead against the Missouri freshmen Friday, then staved off repeated second-half drives by the Tigers to win. 26-12.
The victory gave KU a 2-0 season record, and Missouri finished 1-1.
The Tiger freshmen took the opening kickoff, and drove 53 yards in six plays, with a pass from Conrad Denault to 265 lb. end Russell Washington for six yards scoring the touchdown.
THE JAYHAWKS took the following kickoff and drove 59 yards in 10 plays to tie the score. Levi Lee raced the final six yards for the score.
Bouda had intended the pass for halfback Ralph Johnson, but overthrew him. Johnson got his finger-tips on the ball, and tipped it up into the air just enough for White to get under it.
The extra point try was no good and the Jawhaws led 13-6.

A pass tipped into the arms of Roger White resulted in the next Kansas touchdown.
KU DROVE 30 yards the next time they got the ball with Bouda passing to John Carter from 11 yards out for the touchdown. Again the
On Kansas' next possession, Bouda found end Bill Long 15 yards behind the Missouri secondary, and threw him a 34-vard scoring pass.
The extra point was good, as the Jayhawks took their biggest lead of the day 26-6.
DENAULT THREW 34 passes during the game and completed 17 for 232 yards. However, two interceptions by Kansas, one at the five-yard-line and one in the end zone prevented Missouri touchdowns.
extra point try was no good, and KU led 19-6.
The second half was a different story. The Tiger quarterback, Conrad Denault, came out throwing and had KU backed up against its goal for the rest of the game.
The lone touchdown in the second half came as Tiger fullback Barry Lischner pounded down to the Kansas 20-yard-line. Denault completed two short passes from this point, and Lischner plowed over from the one.
Lischner was the game's leading rusher with 81 yards in 19 carries. He was followed by KU fullback Jerry Pooe with 77 yards on 19 carries and halfback Levi Lee with 43 yards on 4 carries.
Lee only played in the first quarter and part of the second. In a headon collision with a Tiger linebacker, he bruised his pelvis, and was taken out of the game.
The defensive backfield, which had been criticized by many this season for its leaky pass defense, had turned from the goat to the hero.
"We always played cautious," he explained. "We'd go for the tackle instead of for the ball. This time we went for the ball."
Duff had the explanation.
