Washington State added as 11th foe
Washington State, a Pacific 8 conference member, has been added as KU's 11th football foe for next year. Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, announced Monday that the KU-WSU clash has been scheduled for September 12 in Memorial Stadium and will kick-off the Jayhawks' new 11 game season.
KU became the first Big Eight conference school to take advantage of the NCAA's new ruling which allows schools to increase next fall's football schedule to 11 games.
"We hope to extend the series for several years," Stinson said, "but for the present we have firmed up the date only for next fall."
Stinson said he will be meeting with Stan Bates, Washington State athletic director, during the next few weeks and expects to work out details for additional games at that time. KU has all ready scheduled the Cougars for a game in Lawrence in 1977.
By adding Washington State to the 1970 schedule KU will play six home football games for the first time since 1955 when the Jayhawks and Cougars met in their only previous encounter on the gridiron. That year KU defeated WSU, 13-0, at Lawrence and ended a 17-game losing streak, longest in the school's history.
Washington State coach Jim Sweeney is optimistic for next fall, pointing to last year's unbeaten freshman squad as "the best in years" for the school.
Both Washington State and KU finished with 1-9 records last fall. The Cougars' lone victory was an opening 19-18 decision over Illinois, while KU's only triumph was over Syracuse. 13-0.
Maravich passes 3,000 point mark
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)—Pistol Pete Maravich added 49 points to his all-time scoring record Monday night, leading Louisiana State to a 109-91 Southeastern Conference win over Mississippi State.
Also on the Hawk's home slate next fall will be games with Texas Tech, New Mexico, Nebraska, Iowa State, and Oklahoma. The Jayhawks will play road games against Syracuse, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Colorado and Missouri.
Maravich, who surpassed Oscar Robertson's NCAA all-time scoring record Saturday, hit a free throw for his 3,000th point with 7:17 left in the first half. The hot-shooting Tigers extended their SEC record to 5-2 and their overall record to 11-5.
Maravich connected on 21 of 40 field goal attempts and seven of nine free throws to maintain his nation-leading scoring pace. He also bolstered his SEC lead in assists with six.
