Jessie puts on show in spring scrimmage
Ron Jessie hung up his spikes Saturday afternoon — his track spikes that is—and put on his football cleats to run brilliantly for 163 yards forcing many a Jayhawk football fan to let his memory wander back to relive the twisting, lightening - quick scoring plays of the great Gale Sayers.
In his first performance on the gridiron as a member of Pepper Rodgers' Big Blue, the 175-pound hurdler-long jump

scored one touchdown, carried 17 times for nearly 10 yards a jaunt, and clearly led the offense to a one-sided performance over the defense in KU's spring football scrimmage.
Under Pepper Rodgers' system for scoring the offense topped the defense 52-30, although only three touchdowns were scored. For each time the offense moved the ball 15 yards they earned a point. The defense scored for such things as recovering fumbles, intercepting passes, and stopping the offense.
The game was divided into three 25-minute sessions. In the first period the offense jumped ahead 18-7, maintained their lead with a come-from-behind 20-12 win, in the second and sparked by the running strength of Jessie and John Riggins mounted a 14-11 victory in the final stanza.
Although Jessie was spectacular in his first showing as a Jayhawk, Big John blasted away at the opposing line with his usual authority. Riggins, who has been moonlighting on the baseball diamond for Floyd Temple's nine, ground out 92 yards in 16 carries to show that the powerhouse from Centralia would be bringing back the punch from the fullback position that gained him national recognition as a sophomore.

The quarterback spot, drained by the absence of Bobby Douglass, was filled by senior Jimmy Ettinger who fashioned a combination of poise and sound passing to calm some of the threats of inadequacy which have come up concerning the field general's spot.
Ettinger hit 9 of 18 passes for 192 yards, including a scoring
play to Willie Amison good for 70 yards.
Behind Ettinger was the familiar jersey No. 10 that Douglass made famous only this time the big southpaw calling the signals was Phil Basler, sophomore-to-be from Truman high in Independence, Mo. Basler attempted only four passes, but directed the running game with great success, and showed power himself crunching out 26 yards on the ground.
The game's defensive hero was safety George McGowan. Switching back from last year's post at split end the backfield star intercepted the game's only pass, recovered one of the two fumbles, and helped out on 12 of the day's tackles. Others having good days for the defensive unit were linebackers Emery Hicks, Kenny Page, and Steve Roach, end Larry Brown, and safety Skip James.

Kansas record spree sparks track victory
Kansas tuned up for the Big Eight Outdoor Championships later this month by running Southern Illinois off their own track 101-40 Saturday in Carbondale.
The defending outdoor champions set four McAndrew Stadium records on their way to 13 firsts in the 17 events.
Weightmen Karl Salb and Doug Knop set the record pace. Salb put the shot 67"½" for one mark while Knop hurled the discus 186" 3/4" for another.
In his longest race in over a year, Jim Ryun clocked the 3-mile in 13:29.3 for another Saluki track record.
KU's 440-yard relay team of George Byers, Mickey Matthews, Stan Whitley, and Julio Meade closed out the record assault by churning the quarter in 40 seconds flat.
Whitley was the meet's only double winner as he took the long jump with a leisurely 23'11" leap and the 220-yard dash with a 21.5 second time.
Hawks salvage one in diamond series
Kansas and Missouri split a doubleheader Friday but the Tigers came back to take Saturday's single game finale in a weekend baseball series in Columbia.
Dave Robisch pushed his season's record to 3 and 2 with a five-hit, 6-3 win in the nightcap of the twin-bill. Paul Womble's two-run triple highlighted a four-run KU third inning which provided the winning margin.
In the first game, MU jumped on Kansas starter Rich Slicker for six runs (four unearned) in the first two innings as Missouri powered its way to a 9-3 triumph. It was Slicker's second loss against four victories.
Saturday the Tigers bombed Corky Ullom and Roger Jackson for nine runs in the opening two frames, got one more in the fourth, and coasted to an easy 10-3 shellacking.
Kansas, now 5-8 in Big Eight conference play, returns home this Friday for a weekend series against defending champion and league-leading Oklahoma State. The Cowboys completed a three-game sweep of Nebraska with a 6-2 win in Stillwater Saturday and now stand 12-3 in league play, one game ahead of runner-up Oklahoma at 11-4.
