A worn out Jayhawk

Hawks belt Buffs in three game series
Sharp pitching and plenty of clutch hitting pushed KU into second place in the Big Eight baseball scramble as the surging Jayhawks belted out a three-game weekend sweep over the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder.
James once again provided the dynamite for KU in the nightcap as his three-run homer paced the Jayhawks to a 6-1 triumph.
The weekend sweep, coupled with doubleheader victories against K-State a week ago, extended the 'Hawks winning streak to five games. KU, now 5-3 in conference play and 10-4 for the season, trails league-leader Iowa State by $1\frac{1}{2}$ games in the Big Eight standings.
The Hawks started the weekend sweep by stopping the Buffs, 6-5, in Friday's 10-inning series opener.
Second baseman Lynn Snelgrove scored the winning run for the Jayhawks when he singled in the 10th, moved to second on an error and was chased home on first baseman Skip James' sharp single to center.
James unleashed his 385-foot blow off Buff starter Bob Guernsey in the first inning. KU scored three times in the second with
James once again displaying clutch hitting by singling home a Javawk tally.
KU hurler Bill Stiegemeier allowed only two base runners through the first six innings in route to chalking up his third victory of the year against two losses. Stiegemeier limited the explosive CU bats to only three hits and one unearned run while pitching his second complete game of the season.
Shortstop Keith Leippman and pitcher Bob Kaufman provided the heroes for the Jayhawks in Saturday's 5-3 squeaker over the Buffaloes.
Leippman collected three hits in five trips to the plate and drove home three KU runs with a double and two singles. Kauffman came on in relief of starter Corky Ullom in the seventh inning to short circuit a CU scoring opportunity and save the win for Ullom.

By United Press International
The Cyclones scorched the Sooners Friday, 8-2 and 6-5, with two seventh-inning rallies. Oklahoma came back to win the third game, 7-3, Saturday and end Iowa State's skin.
Two styles to choose. A bold new classic trimmed in brass. Or the new style kick. A sandal with real honest-to-goodness tiretread rubber soles. Either way, it's a cool, comfortable choice. Make it soon.
