KU Gets Deserving Win On Another Late 'Break'
STILLWATER, Okla. — One of KU Coach Jack Mitchell's favorite post-game comments has always been, "Maybe someday, if we play long enough, the breaks will even out."
After uttering the phrase on numerous occasions in past years when the scoreboard had spelled defeat for the Jayhawks, Mitchell is finally seeing his prophesy come true.
THE TABLES were almost reversed last Saturday. The Jayhawks fairly-well dominated the game against league-leading Oklahoma State, both offensively and defensively.
After being outplayed almost the entire game by Oklahoma a week ago, KU got a "break" by scoring on the last play of the game, and notching the winning two points after time had run out.
KU held a 14-0 lead after three complete quarters of play, but the Cowboys tallied on the first play of the last frame to cut the advantage to 14-7.
Distance Teams Post Easy Wins
KU's consistent excellence in cross country competition was evident here Friday, as the varsity won its 24th consecutive dual meet, and the freshman Hawks swept over Hutchinson and Iola junior colleges.
The varsity had only six men running against Oklahoma, but the Jayhawks swept the first six places. The KU freshmen also won easily, taking the first five places.
Then, with 44 seconds remaining on the scoreboard clock, OSU threatened to give the Jayhawks a taste of what they pulled on the Sooners.
Bill Silverberg led the varsity sweep with a time of 19:53.6. John Lawson and Tom Yergovich finished second and third for KU.

A BLOCKED field goal attempt by Mike Johnson was picked up by OSU end Jack Jacobson and turned into a 60-yard touchdown. Trailing by one point, the Cowboys elected to go for the two-point conversion and the win.

Thus, another "break" saved a well-deserved victory for KU, and left the Jayhawks tied with Nebraska, also 3-0, for the conference lead.
A fake kick turned into a pass from Glenn Baxter to Tony Sellari. But the Waddies missed the win by one yard, as Jayhawks Gary Duff and George Harvey erected a wall between Sellari and the goal line.

Not only did the KU aerial game net 63 yards, but it kept the OSU defense honest and allowed the Jayhawk backs to run for 259 yards. Ron Oelschlager, with 79 yards, and Skahan with 75, took advantage of the Cowboys' concentration on the flanks to rip through the middle, as each carried 20 times. Sayers accounted for 67 yards on 13 assignments, and Johnson 30 on 11 carries.

The stubborn KU front line limited the Cowboys to 78 yards on the ground, and held them on the KU one-yard line on one of the occasions that the defense stiffened when it was required.
The KU secondary continued to be plagued by the passing game, however, as Baxter completed half of his 24 attempts for 145 yards.
