And that's the possibility of earning the first bowl bid in the school's history.

The Wildcats of coach Jim Dickey moved a step closer to that reality Saturday afternoon before a hushed crowd of over 52,000 Iowa State fans with a rousing 9-3 Big Eight Conference victory over the Cyclones. Saturday's win, termed "the biggest in my tenure at K-State," by Dickey, left the Wildcats with a 5-2-1 overall record and 2-1-1 in the Big Eight. Iowa State falls to 4-3-1 and 1-2-1. It was a swarming Wildcat defense, spearheaded by linebacker Will Cokeley, that lifted Kansas State to its triumph over the stunned Cyclones. The usually-potent ISU running game Was held to a mere 60 yards on 42 attempts.

"We moved around quite a bit on defense," said Cokeley afterward. "We never did line up in the defense we planned to run on any play." That played havoc with'quarterback David Archer, who suffered through a miserable day, finishing with a minus- 19 yards on 14 carries. He did, however, complete 13-of-25 passes for 189 yards but was intercepted twice. "I don't think their quarterback called very many audibles, because we didn't show our defense." Kansas State's Steve Willis booted three field goals for all the Wildcat scoring. He booted a 25-yarder with 12:15 to go in the first quarter to put K-State on top early, 34.

Iowa State's outstanding kicker, Alex Giffords, responded with a 38-yarder at the 4:06 mark of the open- I (See K-STATE, Page 40) KSU isu First dcwns 13 13 Rushes-yards 55-181 42-60 Passing yards 83 169 Passes 5-10-0 13-25-2 Punts-avg.

The Golden Hurri- Journol Photo by Fritz Mendell cane of Tulsa dashed Wichita State's Missouri Valley Conference championship hopes with a 30-21 upset win. Golden Hurricane shock WSU, 31-20 ByKENCORBITT Sporta Writer WICHITA "What if?" That's the question most Wichita State players, coaches and fans must have been asking themselves following WSU's game Saturday against Tulsa.

"What if Prince McJuhklns had been healthy?" The question can be asked over and over, but the only thing that matters is the final score: Tulsa 30, Wichita State 21. The victory here Saturday at Cessna Stadium before a crowd of 28,450 (fourth largest in stadium history) gave the Golden Hurricane, 7-1 overall, sole possession of first place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 4-0 record. Wichita State is now 7-2 and 31. McJunkins, the Shockers' senior quarterback, did not start Saturday because of an ankle sprain suffered last week against Texas-Arlington. Senior Terry George, who has played behind McJunkins for years, got the call and from first indications, it appeared the Shockers wouldn't be hurt very much.

George led the team 80 yards in only six plays on the game's opening series, hitting tight end Anthony Jones for a 25-yard touchdown pass, 2:38 into the game. Doug Schroeder added the PAT for a 7-fl lead. The conversion was the 50th career PAT for Schroeder, a senior from McPherson, establishing a school record. But the Hurricane struck just as quickly as its namesake. On their first play from scrimmage, Ken Lacy raced 76 yards for a touchdown and Stu Crum's kick tied the game at 7-7.

Tulsa extended its lead to 17-7 by the 8:48 mark of the second quarter on a 20-yard field goal by Crum and a nine- yard pass from Skip Ast to Kevin Harlan. McJunkins had entered the game midway through the second quarter and directed the Shockers to their next score. Tailback Eric Denson got the ID on a 14-yard run, capping an 80- yard, 12-play drive. The half ended with Tulsa on top, 1714, but it could have been much worse. The Hurricane's first-half drives began at their own 24 (Lacy's TD run) and the WSU 49, 38, 48, 39, 37 and 16-yard lines.

Tulsa increased its lead to 27-14 by the 9:46 mark of the fourth quarter as Michael Gunter broke loose on a 46- yard TD run and Crum added a 23- yard field goal. McJunkins finally had to leave the game early in the fourth quarter and George brought the Shockers back, hitting Reuben Eckels on a 52-yard TD pass to make it a 27-21 game with 7:11 showing on the clock. Tulsa, however, methodically ended any WSU comeback hopes, putting the game away on Crum's third field goal, a 36-yarder to complete a 61-yard, 14- play drive which ate 5:33 off the clock. WSU lost three-of-three fumbles and George had two passes intercepted. But what hurt the Shockers the most was their poor tackling.

On both Lacy's and Gunter's long touchdown runs, the Shocker defenders had the ball carrier stopped with plenty of turf left to the goal line, but couldn't bring him down. "Those two long runs were just straight dive plays we should have stopped," said WSU coach Willie Jeffries. "We had two or three men standing around the ball. I guess they thought the man was stopped." Jeffries said he planned all week to start George at quarterback. "Prince wasn't 100 percent," he said.

"We wanted to bring Prince in and spot him and get the big play. We (See WSU, Page 40) First downs Rushes-yards Passing yards Passes Punts-avg.

Like a lot of folks who have called the Salina Country Club their home away from home for the past 20 years, Beets watched Bryan Norton grow up both as a person and a golfer.

"I've watched him from the time he was a little boy," said Beets, who has been the golf pro at SCC for the past 27 years. Beets can't help laughing as he recalls how Frank and Jeanne Norton's young son would drag his clubs around the SCC course. "He was six maybe seven years old when he first started coining out here," Beets said. "He'd tee off on No. 1 and head down the fairway, dragging that little white (golf) bag of his on the ground.

Sometimes when it got real busy we'd have to run him off." Bryan Norton is no longer a youngster. The little boy is now a young man. His, dreams may soon become a reality. Norton, now a 23-year-old, left Salina Saturday for Kankakee, where he'll begin his quest to earn his Professional Golfers Association card. From Kankakee, Norton hopes to advance to the final qualifying tournament at the Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra, Fla.

If everything goes as planned, Norton will be a member of the PGA Tour when the 1983 season opens in sunny Arizona in January. Most Salinans know the Bryan Norton story. The son of a successful Salina lawyer, he has excelled at every level as a golfer, lie was an all-stater at Salina Central High School and an All-Araerican at Oral Roberts University. His amateur career has taken him to every section of the United States and he's always represented himself, We family and Salina very well. He is the only Salinan who has ever won the Kansas State Amateur; he's already played in two U.S.

Opens, and he excelled in a tour in Japan two yean ago. But Bryan Norton has never forgotten where his roots are.

Everywhere Fambrough and the Jayhawks looked Saturday afternoon, there was red lots of it. There were red shirts, red pants, red dresses, red hats, red caps and red megaphones in every corner of Memorial Stadium.

But the biggest Red Scare was right there on the stadium astroturf. That's where the Jayhawks had to battle those supermen in the red and white uniforms of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. More than 25,000 red-clad Corn- huskers took control of Memorial Stadium and turned the pleasant autumn afternoon into a huge party, in honor of their sixth-ranked football team. The Cornhuskers didn't disappoint any of their rabid followers. They went about their business in a workman-like manner as they handed KU a 52-0 pounding before a gathering of 50,190 fans.

The Jayhawks' loss was different than the other setbacks of the now forgettable season. It was expected. So it was not surprising to see the mood in the KU lockerroom a calm one. There were no knashing of teeth or alibis thrown around. Nobody was reducing the chalkboard to a scrap heap and the chairs were staying on the floor instead of flying through the air.

Everyone wearing blue and white Saturday knew had just received a good old fashioned kicking. "First of all, I think we probably played one of the bettor football teams in the country today," said Fambrough, after his team had faUen to 1- overall andfcKM in the conference. "I'd have to say they are the best offensive football team in the nation." The Cornhuskers entered the game First downs Rushes-yards Passing yards Passes Punts-avg.

They totaled 426 yards on the ground and another 120 through the air. They piled up 32 first downs and only punted once. It didn't matter who carried the mail against the now-youthful KU defense, everyone padded their stats. Roger Craig churned out 82 yards until he suffered a sprained ankle. Mike Rozier then took over and raced for 123 yards before injuring his hand.

Then reserves ike Brungardt, Smith, Moravec, wakening and Sundberg took over and added to the carnage. "It's unbelievable how much depth they have," KU linebacker Mike AT- banas said. "They just keep bringing people at you." The Jayhawk defense, which by now has been reduced to rubble because of injuries, held off the Nebraska advance for most of the first half. It was a 7-0 game midway through the second quarter before the Huskers tacked on 10 points in the final five minutes to grab a 17-0 halftime lead. "I thought Kansas played hard, especially in the first half," Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne said.

"I thought it was still a football game at halftime." But the football game turned into a Cornhusker highlight film shortly after the intermission ended. Nebraska scored 21 points in six minutes on a pair of dazzling runs (25 and 26 yards) by Rozier and a one-yard plunge by Jeff Smith. All of a sudden, it was 38-0 and all the suspense had ended. "We had a couple good scoring drives at the start of the second half that closed it out," Osborne said. For good measure, the Huskers added two more scores in the final period, one coming on a 65-yard punt return by Smith, a sophomore speedster from Wichita.

And with the Big Red fans screaming "we want six" it was already 45-0 reserve quarterback Nate Mason dove over from a yard out with 2:59 left in the game. Nebraska's offense, despite a total of 546 yards, was overshadowed by an overwhelming performance from the NU defense. The Black Shirts allowed KU just seven first downs and 69 yards of total offense. After the game, Fambrough scoffed at the notion that the Husker defense wasn't up to par. "A lot of teams in the country would like to have their defense," Fambrough said.

"It's good and they're winning with it." KU's Mike Bohn started his first varsity game at quarterback and felt the brunt of the Nebraska defense. He was sacked six times for 54 yards in losses. KU will try for its second victory. next Saturday at home against Iowa: State. Nebraska, 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the Big Eight, will travel to SUllwater, to meet Oklahoma State..
