At KU: Disappointment
Wyoming Bounces Jayhawks
By Russ Corbitt (Sports Editor)
The pattering of water on the shower floor and the slamming of tin locker doors were about the only sounds audible in the KU dressing room in Memorial Stadium about 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Jayhawks had played their best, but had come out on the short end of a 17-14 score. Wyoming had earned its first victory in the three meetings of the two teams, and had extended its perfect season's record to three games.
THE USUAL ONRUSH of wellwishers and small autograph-seekers was restrained under the new
practice of allowing the press a few minutes alone with the players and coaches. Bitter disappointment marked the faces of the players, who silently slipped out of their wet uniforms and paraded to the showers.
The Jayhawks had little to say, only answering questions put to them by reporters. A word of congratulations to John Garber on a fine defensive game brought only a nod of the head.
Bob Skahan, sophomore quarterback who finally got his opportunity and guided the Jayhawks to their second touchdown on their third and final sustained drive, directed all the praise toward his teammates.
"They can catch the ball," Skahan said. "They showed that today."
The Columbus southpaw said the final play of the game, a buttonhook eight-yard touchdown pass to End Bob Robben, was his own call.
"I THOUGHT BOB would be open on the play because the linebacker was going back," Skahan said.
Despite the fact that he completed six of seven passes in the drive from the KU 25 in the dying moments of the game, Skahan said
Steve Renko is still the team's quarterback. "Steve has a lot of ability and is a great quarterback," Skahan said.
In another corner of the somber dressing room sat Renko, whose inaccuracy with his aerial attempts brought occasional roars of disapproval from the 38,000 critics.
"I just didn't throw very well."
Renko mumbled. "They weren't rushing very hard, but I just wasn't hitting."
While chatting with reporters in the dressing room, Mitchell insisted Renko would be the starting quarterback Saturday at Iowa State. At a press party Saturday night, however, Mitchell said Skahan would start.
At St. Louis: Jubilation
Cardinals Grab Pennant
Rv United Press International
By United Press International The St. Louis Cardinals began one of the most fantastic stretch drives in major league history Aug. 24 when they were 11 games out of first place.
But the turning point of the season for the new National League champions, according to Manager Johnny Keane, was June 15, the day the Cardinals acquired Lou Brock.
"When we got Brock, we realized he had a great ballplayer." Keane
said, "and his presence and play picked up the entire team."
WHEN BROCK ARRIVED from Chicago as part of a six-player trade that sent pitcher Ernie Broglio to the Cubs, he had only a 251 batting average with 10 stolen bases and two home runs. And the Cardinals were in eighth-place, seven games behind the leading Philadelphia Phillies.
Then overnight he began to hit with authority. Brock was told by
Cross Country Team Wins
The KU cross country team raised its winning streak to 22 meets by taking Southern Illinois, 17-40, Saturday at Carbondale.
The Jayhawk distance men grabbed five of the first six places. Bill Silverberg finished the four mile course in 19:38, leading teammates John Lawson, 19:55, and Ken Holm, 19:59.
Javahawk Tom Yergovich finished fifth, with 20.25.
The Sulukis Englishman, Bill Cornell, took fourth with 20:10, spoiling an otherwise perfect KU sweep.
Herald Hadley, KU captain, was sixth with 20:35, and teammate Lowell Paul placed ninth in 21:10.

Keane to steal anytime he thought he could make it.
Brock contributed two hits in the Cards' pennant-clinching 11-5 victory over the New York Mets yesterday. He finished the season hitting 348 for St. Louis (315 overall), stealing 43 bases, slugging 14 homers, 29 doubles and 11 triples.
THE METS, the only team to beat the Cardinals over the final two weeks of the season, could have produced a three-way tie for first place by beating St. Louis in the finale. They opened a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning, but the Cards put together three-run bursts in the bottom of the fifth, the sixth and the eighth frames to wrap up their first flag in 18 years.
Brock wasn't the only hero in this wildest finish to a National League season. Tim McCarver collected three hits and three RBI's, while Bill White and Dal Maxvill had two hits and two RBIs each.
Gale Sayers, KU's All-American who brought the crowd to its feet with an 81-yard jaunt for the Jayhawk's first touchdown in the second quarter, was also remembering the final score rather than his scoring seamer.
"There were no special blocks." Sayers said when asked about his run. "Everyone did his job. All the linemen knocked down the men they were supposed to."
WITH THE LINE unbalanced to the right, Sayers swept around left end, cut back right, faked his way past the linebacker, and began putting distance between himself and the white-shirted pursuers. Gary Duff booted the extra point, his first of two perfect attempts for the day, to give KU a 7-3 halftime lead.
Now really, Brutus, just because Julius conned the delivery boy into giving him your pizza, I think you're going a little too far.

JRP Scores Big Victory In IM Action
The intramural fields were filled with Independent "A" activity, as JRP swept out Spectre. 33-0, the Misfits shut out the Oaks 6-0, and Templin downed Ellsworth, 19-7, Friday.
JRP quarterback Bob McFarland's passing accounted for 31 of the 33 points, with Rick Gould picking up two in a safety. The Spectres held JRP to eight points in the first half, but with McFarland's passing, JRP proved too strong.
The Oaks and Misfits were in a stand-off until the fourth quarter Misfit drive threw them to within scoring position, Ralph Pagani, Missit quarterback, cut loose with a 30-yard pass and connected with Jim Orth.
Templin topped Ellsworth, 18-7,
with Cliff Jeffries' three touchdown
passes. Ellsworth's Don Pellow
tossed a scoring pass.
