Oklahoma State turns ball over five times in snow

STILLWATER, Okla. — The Oklahoma State ground crew swept the goal lines Saturday when snow furries turned into a second-half snowstorm, but the Cowboys still could not find the end zone.
Kansas, s-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big Eight Conference, took full advantage of the weather and five Oklahoma invaders, pounding the Cowboy 31-0.
Before the opening kickoff at 1:30 p.m., the temperature at Lewis Field was 24 degrees, with a wind chill factor of 16 degrees. Snow flurries began about the same time the game started, and the lights were turned on.
But Kansas players said they refused to let the conditions be a factor.
"I've never played in snow before.",
Florida native Tony Sands said.
"You've got to go out and do your job-
that separates the men from the boys."
these separate them from the boys.
The senior tailback rushed for 102 yards on 30 carries. Sands' second-quarter touchdown was the 23rd of his career, tying Charlie Hoag's school record.
The Jayhawks 'nix drive was aided by a岸horn in yard Cowboy punt to their
Kansas junior quarterback Chip Hilleary ran in for his first of two touchdowns eight plays later.
Kansas led 14-0 at the half
Hilleary completed seven of 10 first half passes for 67 yards. However, Hilleary tried just two passes in the second half when the snow limited visibility. He rushed for 60 yards on nine carries.
"I thought Hilleary played very well in the conditions," Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones said. "His running ability on the bootleg and quarterback draw early on really made a difference. The kid played well."
The Jayhawks' 272 yards of total offense were just 16 yards more than the Cowboys.
The Cowboys, 0-1 overall and 0-1 in the Big Eight Conference, penetrated the Kansas 29-yard line on their first possession, but junior linebacker Hassan Bailey intercepted quarterback Kenny Ford's pass at the 22-yard line.
The Cowboys never penetrated the Javayh 30-yard line again.
The Kansas defense pressured Ford all day, recording four quarterback sacks. He completed nine of 20 passes and was intercepted three times. The Cowboys also coughed up two fumbles.
Bailey picked off another Ford pass in the third period.
"I've always dreamed about having two interceptions in one game, and it has been that."
The linebacker's second interception led to Monte Cozzens' 16-yard touchdown run, which made the score 31-0.
The interceptionprompted Bailey to dance.
"We were like little kids playing out there in the freezing weather," Bailey said. "It felt great."
The weather chased away much of the homecoming crowd of 18,000 after the internment. A half-inch of snow spread the field during the second half.
The Kansas offense got rid of what was left of the Oklahoma State crowd,
scoring 17 second-half points.
Mason said he was pleased with his team's performance.
"We didn't turn the ball over in a crital area." Mason said. "We took advantage of scoring opportunities, mixing the run and the pass effectively, and the defense gave a shutout. What more can you say?"
However, Mason said he thought the team had not yet reached its potential
"I really believe we have the makkings of a good ball team," he said. "I'm not sure it's all put together yet."
After the game, the Kansas players thanked the contingent of Jayhawk fans who sat through the snow and threw it on as though he nipped his hat to the Kansas crowd.
"The players told me to," Mason said.
The shutout, the 'Hawks' second in three weeks, marks the first time since 1975 that the Kansas defense has recorded two shutouts in one season. It is the first time since 1965 that Kansas has recorded two conference shutouts.
Bailey was helped off the field in the fourth quarter after injuring his hip, but he said after the game that the injury was not serious.
Sophomore kicker Dan Eichloth and junior center Dave Marcum were selected as Phillips 6 Big Eight Classroom Champions for 1991-92.
- Senior flanker Kenny Drayton bounced back from having his 28-game reception streak broken last November; he had four receptions for 31 yards.

Kansas State's Todd Trask was the only non-Cyone in the top 10 who followed by Iowa State senior Mulheron from Baldwin, Wis.
Trask said he was trying to bust up the Iowa State pack.
"I was trying to stay at the front so I could respond to any surges," he said. "They have a real strong tactical race."

"It's a major championship meet, but its only one of three possible championships," he said. "We've got another shot at them."
"For the last two years we haven't done as well in the Big Eight, but we've bounced back at the district meet. We beat K-State by only a few points to qualify last year."
Except for Colorado, all of the Big Eight teams will compete at the District V meet Nov. 16. The Missouri Valley Conference teams also will compete at the meet.
Kansas has made back-to-back appearances in the national meet last week and we have not finished better than fourth in the conference, until this year.
"Iowa State is on a different level, but we've got to deal with it," Schwartz said. "Everybody's going for the second spot.
Only the top two district teams advance to the NCAA meet.
