Jayhawks Hold Top Spots In League Statistics Races
By Russ Corbitt (Sports Editor)
Another KU sophomore quarterback has entered his name in the Big Eight conference individual statistics races.
Wally Hinshaw, who has taken over the punting duties for the Jayhawks, has also taken over the league's lead in the hot punting race.
Hinshaw, with an average of 40.5 yards on 12 kicks, replaced Kansas State's Doug Dusenbury, who has been the season leader. Dusenbury has a 40.4 average, and Oklahoma's Lance Rentzel is third at 40.2. In fourth place, less than a yard behind his teammate, is KU's Mike Johnson at 39.7.
HINSHAW ACTUALLY lowered his average last Saturday at Stillwater, but was ineligible for the conference lead the previous week because he did not have enough punts.
Bob Skahan, KU's sophomore quarterback who has been directing the offense, still leads the league passers in accuracy with 20 completions in 31 attempts for a .645 percentage. He ranks sixth in total yards passing.
Gale Sayers, KU's All-American and conference rushing leader for the last two years, still holds the top spot in that department this week with 453 yards on 83 carries for a 5.5 average per carry.
THE JAYHAWK senior is averaging 75.5 yards a game, and is only 67 yards short of establishing a new Big Eight career rushing record. Sayers has a three-year accumulation of 2495 yards, just short of Iowa State's Dave Hopman's 2562 record performance in 1959-61.
By repeating his 1962 and '63 conference titles, the Omaha speedster can become the first runner in league history to capture three consecutive rushing crowns. Only nine runners

in conference history have reached the 2,000-vard mark.
Sayers is also leading the conference in several other departments, including punt returns average, longest punt and kickoff returns, best net rushing in one game, and longest run for touchdown.
He is also only one yard out of third place in the total offense column, with Skahan right behind him in fifth place.
RON OELSCHLAGER, KU full-back who has played only in the last three games, has moved into tenth place in the rushing derby.
Jayhawk end George Hornung, with 127 yards on eight pass receptions, ranks sixth in that department.
Nebraska, tied with KU for the conference lead, still tops the Big Eight teams in five of the six team offensive and defensive departments. Oklahoma State is preventing the clean sweep by maintaining a passing defense average of 59.4 yards, ten less than the Cornhuskers.
THE JAYHAWKS have moved into second place in the rushing offense department with an average of 213.1 yards. Nebraska is averaging 256.7 yards. KU is third in total offense with an average of 281.6.
