Jayhawks slide past Oklahoma State
Fourth-quarter lapse trips Cowboys again

STILLWATER, Okla. - The fourth quarter was a problem for Oklahoma State again.
Junior fullback Chris Powell scored on a l yard touch run with 7:23 left in the game to help Kansas beat Oklahoma State 13-6.
The Cowboys, who were outscored this season 51-0 in the fourth quarter entering Saturday's game against Kansas, lost the fourth quarter again and, consequently, lost to the Jayhawks.
"We were able to hang in there, and that's not an easy feat," said Kansas coach Glen Mason. "I couldn't be happier with the attitude of my players. They've had a lot of disappointment, and it's sure fun to go into that locker room to a happy bunch of kids."
Throughout the first three quarters, the game was a battle of field goals. Oklahoma State sophomore kicker Lawson Vaughn connected on field goals of 29 and 33 yards to help the Cowboys to a 6-3 halftime lead.
Kansas senior kicker Dan Eichloff, who made a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter, tied the game at 6-6 with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter with a 27-yard field goal. Then the Jayhawk defense stepped up to shut down the Cowboy offense in the final 20 minutes.
Kansas forced Oklahoma State to punt from its 10-yard line on its opening possession of the fourth quarter after senior defensive tackle Chris Maumalanga sacked Oklahoma State quarterback Andy Loveland.
"Before we took the field, Coach (Bob) Fello said we had to come up with something — a turnover or a three-and-out—and to do whatever it takes to take it," Maumalanga said. "Fortunately, coach called the right play, and I came up with the sack."
The Jayhawks took advantage of excellent field position resulting from Scott Tyner's 33-yard punt. Kansas moved the ball 47 yards for the eventual winning touchdown.
The key play in the drive was a fake
field goal, where holder Van Davis flipped the ball to junior fullback Costello Good. Good ran 8 yards for a first down at the Cowboy 11-yard line.
"That took some nerve and probably not much brains," said Mason of the fake field goal call. "It's Halloween, and that's one of the tricks we pulled out of the bag."
Four plays later, the Jayhawks used no tricks. Powell went up the middle from 1 vard out for the touchdown.
Oklahoma State had its chances to possibly tie or even take the lead in the game in the last 7:23. The Cowboys moved to the Kansas 44-yard line following the touchdown, but sophomore linebacker Keith Rodgers hit Loveland and knocked the ball loose. Senior defensive end Guy Howard recovered the ball at the Cowboy 43-yard line with 6:24 to play.
Kansas freshman June Henley returned the ball to Oklahoma State on the next play with a fumble at the Cowboy 41-yard line. But the Jayhawks held the Cowboys on a fourth-down play when Maumalanga stopped Cowboy freshman running back Louis Adams inches short of a first down at the Kansas 22-yard line with 2:44 left to play.
The Cowboys were able to get the ball back at midfield with 1:37 left and moved it to the 29-yard line. However, junior linebacker Don Davis popped Loveland on a fourth down pass, which fell incomplete.

'Hawks win Halloween horror show

STILLWATER, Okla. - It's Hidayeen, so Kansas coach Glen Mason had a trick for Oklahoma State. That trick became a treat for the Javahawks.
That play helped set up junior follow-back Chris Powell's 1-yard touchdown run four plays to give Kansas a 13-6 victory.
Junior fullback Costello Good took a shovel pass from junior holder Van Davis on a fake 36-yard field goal attempt from Dan Eichloff in the fourth quarter. Good ran eight yards for a first down at the Cowboy 11-yard line.
"It was one of those calls, where if it works, it's great," Mason said. "But if it doesn't, everybody wonders why it was made, especially with a kicker like Eichloff on the team."
The play sounded like a good call to Eichloff, who was not sure if he could make the 36-yard attempt into a 20-mph wind.
"I told the coaches that we needed to get to the 20-yard line because I saw Lawson Vaughn's 33-yard barely go through." Eichloff said.
Davis said the coaching staff contemplated calling the fake earlier in the game.
"We watched on film that their defense gives up that play easy," Davis said.
Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones said the fake was not a complete surprise to him. In fact, he thought it was coming on the fourth quarter attempt.
"We were hollering to watch the fake," Jones said. "Ironically, that's exactly the same fake that we've worked on."
However, it was Good that made the trick into a treat for the Jayhawks. He came in motion from the right wing and took Davis' shovel pass eight yards to the Cowboy 11-yard line for the first down. He needed to get the 13-ward line.
"I was worried about the defensive end following right behind me," Good said. "Coach told me that I had to hit the hole quick. I saw the daylight, and went straight forward for the first down."
Late night serves up tricks, treats

For the second straight year, "Late Night with Roy Williams" fell on Halloween weekend.
And although the night's theme was "A Blast from the Past to the Present," the midnight extravaganza had plenty of tricks, treats and horrors for the near-capacity crowd of 15,700.
First. the tricks.
Somehow, the Kansas promotions department, headed by Director Jill Godfrey, managed to serve up a slew of cameo appearances by some of the nation's most loved television sitcom characters.
Among many others on hand for the event, which began sharply at 11 p.m., were freshman Jacque Vaughn as Fonzie and freshman Nick Proud as Richie, from "Happy Days"; senior Patrick Richey as the Skipper and junior Greg Gurley as Gilligan, from "Gilligan's Island"; and freshman B.J. Williams as J.J. from "Good Times."
Try Kansas coach Roy Williams tricking the
crowd with his Fred Astaire impersonation. Actually, this trick proved to be a treat for the crowd, as Williams was coaxed to the dance floor by the Crimson Girls for the fourth consecutive year.
"It was hard to dance because I couldn't hear the music," Williams said. "The crowd was so loud when I was out there. Thank goodness I didn't have to stay long. I couldn't tell if the music was still playing."
The crowd was treated to a children's slam-dunk contest, a crowd costume contest and lip-sync efforts from junior guard Calvin Rayford and junior center Greg Ostertag. Rayford mouthed Ben King's "Stand By Me," with dance accompaniment from Williams, and Ostertag denoted a ten-gallon hat for Brooks and Dunn's "Boot Scootin' Booie."
One treat was for high school basketball recruit Ishua Benjamin from Concord, N.C. Benjamin, 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, watched the night unfold sitting comfortably next to Williams and the team on the Kansas bench.
Jayhawk's first practice was filled with sloppy play, turnovers and excessive player fouls.
The two teams shot for a combined 39 percent, committed 19 turnovers and accounted for 29 player fouls.
However, not to worry Williams said he knew what the night's nausea was.
"The biggest thing is that it's fun for the people involved," he said. "The fans get to see our guys in a much different light than what they do in the regular season."
Senior forward Richard Scott, who scored 15 points for the blue team that lost 44-43, said he agreed with Williams in that the scrimmage was not a reflection of team's talent.
"The whole game was just for fun and for the crowd," Scott said. "We weren't doing anything to prepare ourselves for the season. It's the only practice in which the players get to have fun, and after this it's strictly business."
And business it was. The 'Hawks finished their weekend with four hours of ghoulish practices split between Saturday afternoon and yesterday morning.
MADISON, Wis.  The scene seemed natural: thousands of students euphoric after Wisconsin's victory against Michigan spilling out of the stands and driving relentlessly toward the nearest goal post.
Some realized quickly that something was dreadfully wrong, including football players who rushed to a pile of people at the north end of the stadium. But most others partied on, happy at having pushed past barriers and security guards to reach the artificial turf of Camp Randall Stadium.
At least 60 were injured, seven critically, Saturday when a railing collapsed at the edge of the student section, sending fans tumbling into a 10-foot-wide gap between the stands and a 4-foot chain-link fence.
Others, pressing down from the top of the stadium, swarmed over those
who had fallen and knocked down the fence en route to the wild on field celebration.
Thirteen remained hospitalized yesterday, two of them in serious condition and the rest listed as good to fair.
Wisconsin Chancellor David Ward said the school would immediately review what, if any, changes were needed before Saturday's home game against Ohio State.
Some students said players or other fans saved their lives.
Pinned with dozens of others in the narrow gap between the stands and the chain-link fence, Jansen was ready to pass out when a Wisconsin player came to her aid.
"He grabbed me by my pants and whipped me over," she said. "I know this football player was No. 3, and I know there are two No. 3s. I want to get hold of him because I do believe he saved my life."

New strategy helps Jayhawks defeat Cyclones
Height 'advantage' leads volleyball team to victory
By Gerry Fey

On paper, Iowa State's height seemed to be an advantage. The Cyclones have seven players 5-foot-11 or taller, and Kansas has only one, freshman outside hitter Lara Izokatis at 5-11.
That was the case Saturday as the Kansas volleyball team defeated a bigger Iowa State team 15-9, 15-17, 15-7, 15-12 at Allen Field House.
Bigger is not always better.
But Kansas' height over Iowa State's shortest player, 5-7 freshman setter Jenny Lansink, ironically made the difference. Kansas won the first game by hitting over Lansink's block on the front line. That is when Iowa State replaced her with 5-11 junior setter Kary Law.
"I thought Kansas did a good job of exploiting our setter," Iowa State coach Jackie Nunez said. "That's why we used our other setter."
Sophomore outside hitter Tracie Walt was the beneficiary of Lansink's lack of height. In game one, Kansas setter Lei Steinert continually passed to Lansink's side of the court.
Walt took one set from Steinert in game one
and spiked it around Lansink's outstretched hands to make the score 10-8. She had two more kills in the game and ended the match with 16 kills.
Kansas coach Frankie Alitz said she didn't tell the team to pass to Walt.
"She was just hot," Albizt said. "They figured it out. My team just played a good match."
Game two was a different story for the Jayhawks. With Law on the court, the Cyclones blocking picked up. Kansas lost an early 8-3 lead, mainly because of service errors and lack of communication
"It was our errors that lost the game," Walt said. "They didn't do anything differently."
The turning point of the match for Iowa State may have been when Law injured her thumb and had to leave the match. Lansink had to play, and Kansas went back to its game one strategy.
The last game of the match was close throughout. Neither team had momentum until late in the game when Kansas pulled away to win 15-12. Albitz said her team kept battling.
"They had some good serves," Albitz said of the Cyclones. "Our side-out game was what really kept us in it."
For the Jayhawks to participate in the Big Eight tournament Nov. 26-27, they must be in the top four in the conference. Kansas is currently fourth. 14 matches ahead of Iowa State.
"I'm just trying to get them to play each match," Albitz said of her team. "It gives them a chance to make the Big Eight tournament. We still have to keep going, but it gives us a good chance."
