The victory snapped a six-game losing streak by K-State. By KEN CORBITT Sports Writer MANHATTAN Iowa State tailback Dwayne Crutchfield has described his running style as "a tank going through the Sahara." Crutchfield, however, was a long way from the Sahara here Saturday as the Kansas State defense held the Big Eight's leading rusher to a career-low 46 yards rushing as the Wildcats upset the lOth-rated Cyclones, 10-7. It was the first Homecoming victory for the Wildcats since 1970 and their first win over a nationally-ranked team since 1973 when they beat Colorado, 3319. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for the Cats, now 2-6 overall and 1-3 in the Big Eight, while the Cyclones, 5-2-1 and 2-1-2, saw their conference title hopes dealt a severe setback.

Crutchfield entered the game averaging 139.9 yards per game, but K- State kept the football out of his hands by controlling the ball. KSU had the ball for over 37 minutes of the game and ran off 76 plays to just 54 for the Cyclones. The Wildcats whipped the Cyclones up the middle, pounding out 257 yards on the ground. Sophomore tailback Mark Hundley led the way with 109 yards on 28 carries and fullback Masi Toluao added 80 yards on 17 attempts. The KSU defense also did the job, coming up with the big play when it was needed to halt the Cyclones.

"This was a game our players won," said KSU bead coach Jim Dickey. "We had a great performance to hang on against a great football team. I needed this one badly. My stomach has been going crazy."

On their first possession, quarterback Darrell Dickey and Toluao ran into each other on a busted play, Dickey fumbled and James Ransom recovered the ball for the Cyclones on the KSU 38-yard line. Four plays later, ISU converted the turnover into a touchdown as quarterback John Quinn went over from two yards out. The teams traded punts and then the Cats put together a 19-play drive, but came away empty.

For 31 minutes of Saturday afternoon's Kansas-Nebraska football game, 76,209 NU fans at Memorial Stadium sat still, quiet and stunned. The Kansas Jayhawks, patsies of the Cornhuskers for more than a decade, led powerful Nebraska, 12-10, with five minutes left in the third quarter. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, time ran out too soon or in reality, not soon enough. Nebraska scored three touchdowns down the stretch to pull out a 31-15 victory.

If Saturday's game was not a victory for the Jayhawks in the won-loss column, it certainly was a moral triumph. Kansas has not beaten Nebraska since 1968 and has been shut out six times, over that period, including the last two contests which have seen the Huskers outscore KU, 96-0. But despite the lopsided history of the series, Jayhawk players and coaches said they were playing the game to win. "This is not a football team that tries to play close," KU head coach Don Fambrough said. "We try to win.

We hung in there for three quarters, but three quarters wasn't good enough." Fambrough's confident attitude was echoed by KU defensive end Tim Friess. "We were not surprised at all by the way we played today," he said. are fifty-one players on the traveling squad and counting them and the.coaches and the trainers, there wasn't one of us who thought we couldn't win." if oiititandlng The reason for Kansas'offensive output sophomore place-kicker Bruce Kallmeyer. Kallmeyer accounted for all 0) KU's points by booting five field goals, three of which were from 45 yards put or longer. His effort set a Kansas record for most field goals in a game and in a season (8).

The Jayhawks rushed for 226 yards in the game. KU quarterback Frank Seurer, who had his best day in a KU uniform last week Kansas State, had a rougher time of it Saturday.

Seurer completed 10-of-23 passes for 142 yards, but threw three interceptions. But Fambrough was still pleased with his sophomore quarterback's performance. "I'll tell you something when he had protection, Frank Seurer had a great football game," Fambrough said. But it was the three interceptions and two crucial fumbles that hurt the Jayhawks. Seventeen of the Corn- buskers' points came after KU miscues.

"You can't make mistakes. You can't fumble, not even once against a team like Nebraska," Fambrough said. "You just don't give a team like that opportunities." The first of KU's costly turnovers came in the second quarter when NU's Jeff Merrell recovered a Seurer fumble on the Nebraska 41. Nebraska drove to the Kansas 16, but the KU defense stiffened and the Corn- huskers were forced to settle for a 32- yard fieM by Eddie Neal. Meal's boot knotted the score at 3-3.

Kallmeyer had already kicked the first of bis field goals, a 25-yarder, in the first Kansas dominated the rest of the half, and following Kallmeyer field goata of 27 and yards, led at in- On its first possession of the third quarter, KU turned the ball over once more. This time Seurer's pass was picked off by Rodney Lewis, who returned the ball to the KU 15. Nebraska scored five plays later when halfback Phil Bates carried the ball over from two yards out to give the Cornhuskers a 10-9 lead. Kansas came right back as Seurer marched his team 48 yards in 10 plays before Kallmeyer kicked a 49-yard field goal with 4:50 left in the quarter. Nebraska scored the winning touchdown with 58 seconds left in the third period when Bates went over right guard from three yards out.

The TD was set up when KU tailback Garfield Taylor fumbled at the Kansas 26 and Nebraska's Brent Evans recovered. KU scored again on its next possession when Kallmeyer capped a nine- play, 44-yard drive with a 47-yard field goal into the wind. But Nebraska scored two more times once on a pass from quarterback Turner Gill to split end Jamie Williams and again on a 49-yard run by tailback Mike Rozier. Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne was impressed with KU's effort. "I would like to congratulate Kansas," he said.

"They came up here and played hard. They were ready physically, mentally and emotionally." If Saturday's game is any indication, there's an optimistic future for KU, according to offensive guard David Lawrence. "I think we learned by what happened out there today that we can play with anyone in the conference," Lawrence said. The loss dropped KU to 1-3 in Big Eight play and 5-3 overall. Nebraska remained unbeaten after four conference games.

The Huskers are 6-2 overall.

Edwards scored on a 75-yard run during the game, but it wasn't nearly enough as the visiting Falcons posted a 42-15 victory. Coyotes fall, 42-15 Friends hammers KW By BRAD CATT Sporta Writer Dale Liston figured he had reason to be concerned when he sent his Friends University football team onto the Martin Stadium turf here Saturday afternoon. Afterall, the Falcons had been like a yo-yo all season.

They brought a 3-3 record to Sauna but they hadn't won back-to-back games all year. And Liston was convinced Kansas Wesleyan was capable of continuing that streak against his ballcuib. As it turned out, the Friends coach shouldn't have had a worry in the world. Wesleyan played the perfect host on this Halloween as Friends rolled to an easier-than-expected 42-15 triumph. There were no spooks or goblins which did the Coyotes in.

It was simply the same combination which has led to three consecutive defeats poor defense and costly turnovers. Friends scored on its first three possessions of the game to build a 21-8 lead.

Friends took control of'Vtt game on its very first possession when the Falcons drove 76 yards to paydirt. Robert Morrissey scored the first of his three touchdowns on a one-yard dive up the middle. The Wichita team made it 84 when Gary Galadez hit a wide-open Steve Walker on the conversion attempt.

"To jump on top early was a big key for us," Liston said. "That first drive was very important." Four plays later, the Falcons were in business again when Tim Mussat recovered a Coyote fumble at the KW 33- yard line. Morrissey tallied his second TD 1:20 later when he scored on a nine-yard run. John Mayes converted the PAT kick and before the sparse crowd on hand could warm their seats, Friends had a 1541 lead. Wesleyan wingback Robert Thompson slowed down the rout Jut a bit when he swept left end and Mooted 79 yards to the end lone.

Byron Hauwr and Elliott Edwards then connected on a fake PAT kick and the Coyotes were within 1W at the 5:53 mark of the opening quarter. But that was Wesleyan's last hurrah. Mike Murphy returned the ensuing kickoff to the KW 29 and five plays later, Dave Terhune and Ivan Diggs hooked up on a 17-yard TD pass to give (See COYOTES, Page kH).
