Gary Duff Plays Dual Role for KU
Gary Duff is beating the enemy with something more than his kicking toe this season. The spare Kansas senior is one of the Big Eight's better defensive halfbacks.
Nobody could have said it better than head coach Jack Mitchell following his club's last-second 15-14 conquest of Oklahoma when he exclaimed . . . "Duff made so many good open field tackles he reminded me of the Dutch boy with his finger in the dike."
The muscular Salinan often was the last roadblock in a Jayhawker defense that repeatedly bent, but never buckled, in the face of the Soomers' furious assault.
A WEEK later at Stillwater it was Duff's tackle, with the assist from linebacker George Harvey, on Oklahoma State end Tony Sellari, at the goal line which shortcircuited the Cowpokes' two-point bid in a 14-13 Jawhawk win.
He hasn't neglected the magic toe either. Duff is just two conversions short of Don Fambrough's varsity record compiled during the co-title years of '46 and '47. Duff has punched home 13 in succession this season, save for a blocked attempt against Syracuse. He had collected 33 points-after through his first two years.
Oddly, he hasn't been called upon for a field goal try yet, although he started the season with five, just two short of the varsity record.
IM Deadline Today For Fifth-Round Play
Deadline for playing fifth-round intramural matches is today, according to Robert Lockwood, director of intramurals.
Results of the matches in golf, handball, horseshoes, tennis and badminton must be turned in by 9 a.m. tomorrow.
"I like defense fine." smiles the creweat batter, who wrestled at 167 pounds for the Jayhawkers last winter. "The toughest thing is training yourself to read the keys quick enough. We key off the backs in the top of the T, or the two there and a slotback. There is so much diversification on offense now that we've got to check all three of them every play. The toughest thing to follow is cross action in the opposing backfield.
"One thing I have learned to do pretty well so far is get to the
Gary Duff
position I'm supposed to on the field then reacting to the ball, whether it's pass or run.
"Oklahoma State and Wyoming have been the toughest to read for me so far. Both faked real well. Oklahoma State ran the belly series well. Wyoming ran lots of cross-action."
