"I was instructed to open up the game and (Larry) Montre was open so I threw; to him," he said. The pass was one of three straight Hoppmann hit in moving the Cyclones deep into Kansas property. "Alumni Play" The Cyclone play that set up their touchdown was one which Stapleton describes as "our alumni play." "They just love that one," he said. On the play quarterback Larry Switzer pitched out to Hoppmann, who handed back to Switzer on what amounts to a double reverse. Then Switzer threw to Larry Schreiber on a 41-yard pass play to the seven.

"It's sort of the Jazzed up thing the old grads like," Clay said. Since this was homecoming day there were a lot of old grads around to hoot about that one, which pulled the Cyclones up to 14-8 with about minutes left.

Are Called At Line By Jim Moackler (Sunday Register Staff Writer) A MES, IOWA Iowa State's defense was upset by a heady quarterback in the Cy clones 29-8 loss to Kansas Saturday. Rodger McFarland was the man. "McFarland did a tremendous job of checking the signals on the line he did it about 90 per cent of the time and made the right call almost every time," said Kan sas Coach Jack Mitchell, Coach Clay Stapleton said he thought his Cyclones stayed with Kansas fairly well In the first half.

But of the second half, when Kansas scored three touchdowns, he said: "It was the age old problem for us we just couldn't stop them. They have a diversified attack and a lot of things prevented us from setting up the defense." Stapleton said Iowa State didn't pass in the first half because he thought the Cy clones could sustain a running attack and keep control of the football. Used Sparingly Stapleton said the loss of wingback Dick Limerick through illness and Mike Cox through a foot injury hurt the offense. Sophomore Otis Williams filled in at the slot, playing for the first time. Dave Hoover, fullback and tailback.

was used sparingly because he hasn't regained his strength. "So, we had a bad situation at wingback and Limerick may not be able to play for another couple of weeks," Stapleton said. If there was a happy aspect Stapleton said it was probably the kicking of Gary Ellis, who punted six times and aver aged nearly 45 yards. We did have a chance to give a lot of sophomores experience," Stapleton said. He said he was pleased with fullback Tom Vaughn, and added: "If we had two or three more sophomores with; Vaughn's ability we would not be too weak."
