Entering the 1991 football season, the Jayhawks had not held an opponent scoreless since 1981. Kansas had not beaten Big Eight Conference rival Iowa State since 1984.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks accomplished
the team's consecutive Cyclones 41 to Memo-
Eddie Naldi.
On the opening kickoff, Kansas freshman Don Davis and senior King Dixon forced Iowa State's Lamon Hill to fumble. Kansas hit Harris recovered at the Cylone 12-yard line.
Sophomore Dan Eichlöff kicked a 25-yard field goal four plays later. That was all the offense Kansas needed as the defense allowed Iowa State just 144 yards.
"Our defense started out the tone for the whole game," Davis said. "We have a whole new attitude after the loss to Kansas and we felt it could either crush us or bring us up."
In his first career start, Davis played a major role in firing on the team.
On Iowa State's second possession, Davis sacked quarterback Chris Pedersen, separating Pedersen's shoulder. The senior quarterback, who started in place of injured starter Bub Otter, is out for the season. The Jenkins had more quarterbacks against the Jawkins.
On the next play, junior Dana Stubblebear blocked Jon Schmoeer sane. Davis fell on the ball.
"I felt invincible out there," Davis said.
Less than two minutes and 30 seconds into the game. Kansas led 10-0.
"We just played horrendous in the first 15 minutes. Iowa State coach Jim Walden said, "We've had some great games."
The margin of victory might have been even larger, but the Jayhawk offense struggled early. On its second possession, senior flanker Kenny Drayton threw a 40-yard pass and not receiver Matt Gay on a reverse play, moving the ball to the Cyclone 16-yard line.
However, sophomore quarterback Nate Florle fumbled at the 1-yard line. The offenses lapsed into a panting duel until the defense came to the rescue again.
Freshman Steve Harvey intercepted a second-quarter pass from third-string quarterback Marv薛 at the Cyclone 2-yard
Glen Mason
Three Tony Sands' carries later, it was 16-0.
Eichloff made it 17-0.
Despite starting Nate Florell at quarterback in place of junior Chip Hilleary, the passing game continued to struggle.
Florell completed five of 17 passes for just 65 yards and one interception. Hilleary and third-strip quarterback Frederick Thomas had fourth quarter, but neither attempted a pass.
"I're getting tired of saying it, but I think our passing game left a lot to be desired," Kansas coach Glen Mason said. "Our quarterback play was questionable at best."
Even with the aid of Florlel's interception at the Kansas $34 yard, Iowa State could not reach her.
In fact, the Cyclones lost yardage before turning the ball over on downs.
On its next possession, Iowa State pete
honored a cornerback line but missed a
51-yard field goal attempt.
Kansas started the second half by scoring its first non-turnover-aided points. Sophomore George White took the kickoff 49 yards to the Iowa State 42-yard line. Florrell's 30-yard shot, the day a 22-yard strike to freshman tight end Rodney Harmel, moved the ball to the 20.
Four plays later, junior Monte Cozzens barreled into the end zone from the 1-yard line.
Iowa State took its first drive of the second half all the way to the Kansas 15-yard line, but
the defense stopped Seiler on fourth and one.
Kansas then drove to the Cyclone 20-yard line, running more than 6:30 off the clock. Eichlofh's second field made the score 7-0.
Iowa State helped the Jayhawk offense
Tony Sands
throughout the game, continually giving Kansas good field position. Iowa State runners were a poor defense early in the final period. Senior cornerback Doug Terry recovered at the 35.
Then, on Hileary's first play of the game, he scampered 29 yards to the Iowa State 6-yard line. Three plays later the quarterback was in the end zone. Kansas led 34-0.
Caldwell was then moved to quarterback, where he was equally ineffective. Senior cornerback Tim Hill intercepted Caldwell's first pass and returned it to the Iowa State 6-yard
Junior tailback Chaka Johnson scored the Jayhawks' final touchdown twoplayslater.
- Senior tailback Tony Sands ran for 106 yards, setting a school record with 14 career games rushing for more than 100 yards. He has now rushed for more than 3,000 yards in his career.
SIDELINES

■ The Jayhawks were penalized eight times for 84 yards.

Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams shows off his dancing ability.
Jayhawk fans filled Allen Field House to its 15,800 capacity for the fourth annual "Late Night with Roy Williams."
A full house was on hand Friday night to catch a glimpse of the KU men's basketball team at "Late Night with Rov Williams."
"If it wasn't 'packed', it wasn't 'butone' or two people from it, " Williams said. "I looked up in the far corners, and there were people sitting everywhere.
"Kansas basketball is phenomenal. People love it, and I think it means a great deal to our kids."
The night was capped by an intrasquid scrimage.
Williams, who observed the scrimimage while his assistants coached the team, said he was pleased.
"I thought we played very hard," Williams said.
The red team won the scrimmage against the blue team 61-58. The teams played two 20-minute halves, and the clock did not stop during play.
Freshmen Greg Ostergart, a 7-foot2 center, and 6-8 forward Ben Davis each grabbed six rebounds to lead all rebounders.
"Adonis shot it very well to say the least," Williams said, "and I think that's very encouraging."
Traditionally, the scrimmage has been played at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 15, which is the first day that basketball teams had learned to practice under NCAA rules.
Junior Adonis Jordan led the red team and all players with 25 points. He nailed three of five three pointers.
This year, "Late Night" moved to Friday, in an effort to tie it in with homecoming.
Before the scrimmage, the fans were entertained by various skits, performed by different players.
Members of the men's basketball team performed a dating game skit and Ostertag lip-synced Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places."
The crimson girls even convinced Williams to get up for a dance step or two.
"Next year I'm going to get a hand-cuff and handcuff me to the scorer's table." Williams said.
However, the highlight of the prescripment activities was the induction of Williams into the Kansas Athletic Hall of Fame. The crowd responded to the presentation with a standing ovation
Kansas had three recruits visiting during "Late Night," but Williams said he wasn't as pleased with recruiting as he was at the same time last year.
"I told Ben Davis he better be pretty goddam good because he 's scaring off a lot of people," Williams said during the interview. "I didn't know few kids I would really like to have."
The three prospects visiting were 6-7 power forward Chris Davis from Mouth of Wilson, Va.; Darron Hancock, a 6-7 forward from Garden City University College; and Jaron Boomba, a 4-6 guard shooting from Salt Lake City.
"I don't particularly feel we need to have a big year because we only have five scholarships to give for the next three years, so I can't give you an give a maximum of three this year.
Rookie's late blast propels Twins 3-2
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Scott Lelius, a rookie who hit just five home runs during the season, homered in the eighth inning last night and broke a 2-21 at Minnesota beat Atlanta a 2-0 lead in the World Series.
Tom Glavine (20-11) had a two-hitter going into the eighth, but the Braves were beaten once again by the long ball. Chili Davis put the Twins on top 2-0 with a first-inning homer, but Atlanta came back to tie on sacrifice flies by Brian Hunter and Rafael Belliard.
Then, in the eight, Liusei home-red off Glavine deep to left on the left-hander's first pitch. It was the fourth home run in two games for the Twins, who have swept six straight World Series games at the Metrodome, baseball's noisiest ballpark.
On the first pitch of the bottom of
Minnesota quickly got in front as the crowd made things miserable for the Braves.
Kevin Tapani (16-9) earned the victory, allowing seven hits in eight innings. Rick Aguilera finished for his second save of the series, allowing a one-out bloop single by Hunter.
Aguilera led the American League this season with 50 saves.

the first, Dan Gladden lifted a high pop to the top. The crowd of 55,145 started screaming and right fielder David Justice cut in front of second baseman Mark Lemke and left with out of Lemke's glove for an error.
Gladden wound up on second,
Glavine walked Chuck Knoblauch
and Kirby Puckett bounced into an
oil-filled basin in a 90-degree
pinch into the left-field seat.
Davis was the only starter in the Twins lineup who had faced Glavine before. That was in 1987, when Davis was with San Francisco and Glavine first came up to the majors with the Braves.

Senior volleyball players Kris Kleinschmidt and Adrian Powell had one word to describe Friday night's loss to Colorado.
"I don't feel we got beat," Powell said.
Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said she was pleased with the way her team played in the match. "If one or two things had gone differently we could have won," she said.
Kleischmidt agreed, "We feel like we gave it to them."
In front of a record crowd of 2,700 fans at Allen Field House, Kansas lost a 3-1 match to Big Eight conference foe Colorado. The Jayhawks lost 13-15. 15-6. 11-15. 15-17.
The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 20-4 overall and 3-3 in the conference. It also ended Kansas' first season with a 7-6 loss.
Kansas was ahead or close in every game but failed to finish off the Bufs except in the second quarter.
*We sided-out really well, but we need to keep
the intensity as high when we serve," Po'
In the fourth game the Jayhawks established a 9-4 lead before Colorado began chipping away.
Colorado came from behind and won the first game 15-1, but Kansas dominated the second game, winning 15-6. Colorado took the third game 15-11.
By the end of the match the field house had filled to more than 10,000 fans waiting for "Late Night Wish."
After a long battle, with many sideouts, but few points, the Buffaloes wom 17-15.
Albizt said the large crowd made a difference for the Jayhawks. "It made the team feel good," she said. "We dug some balls that were pretty fantastic. I think the crowd was over that."
The last game could have gone either way, Ablitz said. "We had one or two hitting errors that night."
Powell said, "It was fun playing in front of a large crowd. I think they enjoyed the match."
Kansas was led by Powell's 20 kills and 25 digs. Cinder Kanbel led also had 20 kills. The two com-
mands were still in control.

Broncos outlast Chiefs 19-16
The Jayhawks next meet will be the Big Eight Conference Championships on Nov 2at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence.
Elway, who had thrown more interceptions against the Chiefs (24) than against any other opponent and who had thrown for just eight touchdowns, a measure of
revenge in Denver yesterday
The Kansas City defense has tormented John Elway throughout his career, picking off his passes, sacking him unceremoniously and leaving him in a tentative, frustrated state when he sees a red helmet plastered with an arrowhead.
He completed one touchdown pass, a 22-yard pass to rookie Derek Russell late in the first half that ended the Chiefs' string of 18 straight quarters without surrendering a touchdown pass. He wasn't intercepted.
The pass set up David Treadwell's fourth goal field of the game with 2:37 left, lifting the Broncos to a 19-16 victory.
"I can't remember when I've thrown it that hard," said Elway of the 71-yard pass that traveled at least 60 yards in the air.
The pass came at an opportune moment. Kansas City had tied the score and seized the momentum. When Elway was sacked by Derrick Thomas and Bill Maas for a 7-yard loss, the Broncos faced a third-and-17 from their 13-yard line.
Ellway rolled to his right and fired across the field to a wide-open Jackson at the 50. Jackson, given too big a cushion by cornerback Billy Bell, ran to the 16-yard line, and Treadwell creamed four plays later.
