Skahan leads winning grid team
By David Finch
"We don't have good depth," said head football coach Jack Mitchell after Saturday's intrasquad game, "but it's better than last year."
TOP QUARTERBACK Bob Skahan led the White team to a 16-10 victory over the Blue team in the annual intrasquad football game Saturday, moving the ball 403 yards in doing so.
But few insights about next year could be drawn from the game, as it was so lopsided.
The Blues' defense was shaky the whole game, handing the Whites 23 first downs. In fact the Whites were never forced to punt.
The only bright spot for the Blues' defense was that they held the Whites four times when they were just short of the goal line. And even here the Blues were helped by White fumbles and bad plays.
That the score was so close, and that the Blues were leading
till two minutes from the end, was only because the Whites wasted so many chances and that the Blues took advantage of theirs.
THE FIRST BLUE score came after 3.03 of the first quarter. Bill Hunt, Hackensack, NJ., freshman, intercepted a Bob Skahan pass and took it to the Whites' 19 yard line. Four plays later Thermus Butler, Columbus, Ga., freshman, ran the ball over from the six.
Dave Bouda, Omaha, Neb,
sophomore, added the extra
point and the score was 7-0, Blue.
Dave Boudreau, sophomore, added the extra point and the score was 7-0, Blue. After this setback the Whites took command and never let up. Ten minutes after the Blues scored, the Whites replied. Skahan, a Columbus junior, fired a 25-yard pass to Jeff Elias, Miami, Fla., junior, who took the high pass well, cut inside and sprinted to the Blues' seven. The Whites moved to the three and Don Shanklin, Amarillo, Texas, freshman, plunged over for the score.
THE FIRST QUARTER ended
at 7-6 in favor of the Blues, as Bouda's try for the Whites' extra point was foiled. The snap back was wide and low, so Bouda tried to run it over, but was stopped four yards short.
SKAHAN moved the Whites to the one yard line with three plays left, but the Blues forced them back to the four and a penalty took them to the nine.
The second quarter saw little scoring but some imaginative playing by the Whites. Skahan was combining well with Junior Riggins, Centralia freshman, and Shanklin. In one play he passed to Riggins, who flipped a lateral back to Skahan, who took it 10 yards to the 12. Riggins ran it into the end zone two plays later, but the score was ruled out on an illegal procedure.
The threat died on the next play when Skahan fumbled and let the Blues take over. The Blues, piloted by Bob Douglass, El Dorado freshman, found it difficult to move against a solid White defense and were forced to kick from their 15. Shanklin received it and took it to the Whites' 39, then to mid-field on the next play.
With fourth down and nine yards to go, Skahan tried for a touchdown, but was stopped right at the goal line.
The Blues did not keep the ball long for soon the Whites were sweeping back. But time was against them. With 10 seconds left in the half and 13 yards separating them from the goal line the Whites tried for a field goal.

The Jayhawk baseball team closed out its 1966 season this weekend losing three games to Oklahoma State, and letting the Cowboys win the Big Eight Championship.
Before the series at Stillwater, Okla., began, Oklahoma State was in second place in the Big Eight with a 10-7 record. Oklahoma University was leading the conference owning an 11-3 mark.
Cowboys blank Jayhawks to grab Big 8 baseball title
BY LOSING the weekend series to Oklahoma State, KU finished last in the Big Eight with a 3-15 conference record. Had the Jayhawkers won their three games with the Cowboys and Colorado had lost its three to Oklahoma, the Jayhawks would have finished seventh.
This weekend the Sooners lost three games to Colorado and finished the season with a .647 percentage while Oklahoma State ended up with a.650 mark.
The Jayhawks finished the season 8-17 overall but actually had a winning record in non-conference games.
The first game of the twinbill saw Oklahoma State break a 3-3 tie with a five run fifth inning, highlighted by back to back triples by Wayne Weatherly and Don Kuykendall.
Bouda kicked successfully from 33 yards out and the Whites finished the half in the lead, $ \partial-7. $
IN FRIDAY'S doubleheader against the Cowboys, KU lost 9-5 and 10-1. The Cowboys
IN THE SECOND GAME Friday, Cowboy pitchers Larry Burchart and Frank Warrington combined for a 4-hitter against the Jayhawks. KU's Bill Maddux got the loss.
clobbered KU for 21 hits including a double, two triples and a home run.
Jay Wilson, KU pitcher, was credited with the loss in the first game that saw two Jayhawks, Jim Shanks and Bob Skahan got home runs.
Both KU and Oklahoma State rapped out 11 hits in Saturday's single game, but the Jayhawks again came out on the losing end of the score. 8-5.
THE WHITES continued to dominate play in the second half. Shanklin's running in particular caused the Blues' defense much trouble.
FIVE of KU's hits were infield dribblers which accounted for the Jayhawks' inability to score more than two runs in any inning. The Cowboys' seven run third inning proved more than enough to defeat KU.
KU used three pitchers in the season's finale, Tom Cooper, Tom Bishard and Sandy Buda all hurled with Bishard sustaining the loss. It was his fourth of the season against two victories.
The Whites again moved to the Blues' one-yard line and were again held when they went for a touchdown attempt on fourth down.
Delta Upsilon's fast pitch softball team beat the Law School's team in Friday's final play-off between the Fraternity and Independent divisions, to become the Hill champions of 1966.
The Blues took over, but could not move the ball, and the Whites regained possession on the Blues' nine as the third quarter ended.
Carlos Frey, Lawrence graduate student, pitched for the DU's, striking out 11 men and allowing only one hit. The DU's played an errorless game.
On the first play in the fourth quarter, Shanklin moved to the three, but fumbled and the Blues recovered the ball.
THE BLUES now marched 88 yards in one of their rare attacks. With Douglass directing play, they reached the Whites' three yard line, but lost four yards on the next play. They decided for a field goal attempt on fourth down and Bouda's 24 yard kick was good.
Sigma Chi's Bill Fenton, Wichita junior, shot a par 35 to become the first individual medalist of the intramural attraction.

Sigma Chi's win campus golftourney
In a game that went into extra innings, Sigma Chi outscored Grace Pearson, 15-12, to win the Hill crown in the slow pitch tournament.
The DU's lost only one game this year, and it was the only game that Frey didn't pitch. Frey averaged at least two strikeouts an inning this year and according to Bob Lockwood, Intramurals director, he is the top pitcher in Kansas.
In a game that turned out to be a pitching duel, the DU's downed the Laws, 1-0, on an unearned run.
Sigma Chi's four-man team took first place in Saturday's intramural team golf tournament with a score of 152.
Phi Kappa Psi, with a score of 156, won second place in the tournament, played on a wet course at Hillview.
But now the Whites exploded. Skahan connected with a 53-yard pass to Bill Lynch, Hutchinson junior, who ran 15 yards for a touchdown with 2:09 left. Bouda's kick was good to make it 16-10.
With only seconds left, the Blues retained possession but were under pressure with their backs to the goal line. Bouda replaced Douglass as quarterback and on the last play of the game threw a 40-yard pass to Halley Kampschroeder, Lawrence junior, who made a brilliant catch, but was pulled down from behind by White defenders.
This put the Blues back in the lead 15-10, with 4:06 remaining in the game.
Two Phi Delta Theta teams tied for third place with team
BOB SKAHAN had a good game, passing for 210 yards and rushing for 50 yards on 19 carries. He connected on 16 of 25 attempts, but missed most of his long passes.
Douglass showed a lot of promise but was slow in spotting his receivers.
