Texas Tech Rides Past Kansas, 23-7 By Bob Associated Sports Writer LAWEENCE, Kan. CAP) Texas Tech, riding the 'aerial antics of quarterback John Scovell and end Larry Gilbert, rode to a 23-7 victory over Kansas Saturday. Kansas displayed a glittering array 'of sophomore running backs to dominate the ground game. But Jayhawk defensive i errors and the.Texas Tech pass- I ing attack provided; the visitors I with their margin.

The Raiders took the opening kickoff and marched downfield 15 plays with Scovell passing 1 nine; yards to Jerry Lovelace for the TD. With Texas Tech attack ap- Jparently stopped in the second I quarter a pass interference call against Kansas on their own 13 set up the second Raider score. Another interference call, this time in the final period, set the stage for the Texas Tech score, Defense Tough Three Kansas Shanklin, Junior Riggins, and John Jackson combined to give the Jayhawks to 254 yards on the ground. Although Kansas threatened several times, tunes the Texas Tech defense broke down only once. Scovell kicked the Kansas defense apart with his pinpoint passing, but the young Kansas line held Tech to 102 yards on the ground.

For'the Raiders, end George Cox was a defensive standout, containing the Jayhawk backs Kansas penetrated deep into the visitors territory. Kenny Vinyard boomed a kick 78 yards to the Kansas 18 where the Jayhawks began their' lone scoring drive. Eight plays later, quarterback Bobby Skahan' kept around left end for the final 18 yards. Shanklin, a native of Amarjl- lo, wearing Gale Sayers' old jersey number 48, repeatedly slashed through the line, picking up 135 yards in 22 carries. Skahan had 78 yards on the ground and completed 12 of 19 passes for 152 yards.

Texas Tech's Mike Lienert was the top ground gainer for the Raiders with 65 yards. Gilbert snared seven passes for 103 yards and one touch down. Tech 77 Kansas LAWRENCE, Kan.

(AP) It asV'the big play" that made the as Texas Tech a statistically superior team, 23-7, opposing coaches agreed Saturday. "There's no- question, it was a battle of the professionals against the amateur," said Kanj sas Coach Jack Mitchell. "We couldn't make the big play on defense or 'offense.

That's where our inexperience I showed." Cqach J. T. King of Tech said a significant factor was "the way-'the defense came through with the big play." King said he was especially pleased with John Scovell, making his first start at quarterback. Scovell is a 6-2 18-pound Dallas, junior. "I like the way he ran the team and executed the plays," King said, He said there was no doubt that Mike Leinert, Tech's leading ground gainer, ran with authority.

But he said it is another matter to compare Leinart with Donny Anderson, who won national acclaim as he led the Red Raiders to an 8-3 season and a Gator Bowl appearance last season. It's frustrating to feel you beating someone, but (lie score says you are losing," Mitchell. "It is a matter of being out- finessed. Mitchell pointed to Kansas' 254 yards rushing against Tech's. 102, and the narrow edge in passing.

He said two costly pass interference calls which led to Tech touchdowns and an offense penalty in an early Kansas drive were key plays. "I was very pleased the way we could move the ball and the defense looked good in spots," Mitchell said. "The worst thing we did all afternoon was to get Texas Tech in a third down and 25 yards to go situation. We could stop them when they needed only two or three yards, but give them a big yardage situation and it led to a touchdown every time." Feels Belter Mitchell said he feels a lot better about his Jayhawkers than he did following the Texas Tech game a year "If we don't lose our morale, by the middle of the season we can play teams like Texas Tech on an even basis." King agreed that Kansas was more impressive than it was a year ago when Texas Tech won a storm-shortened contest King praised the work of Kansas quarterback Bob Skahan and said K.U. sophomore quarter- Don Shankoin is going to be a great one.

"Every time he got his hands on the ball, he scared me to death," King said. Mitchell praised the running of Shanklin who picked up 134 yards on 22 and the work of two other sophomores, lalfback John Jackson and end John Zook.

K-State Falls To Army, 21-6 WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) Army scored two touchdowns in the final minutes of the fourth quarter Saturday and made new coach Tom Cahill a winner with a 21-6 verdict over Kansas State. Until the waning moments the Big Eight club, loser of all is 10 games last season, trailed by only a point, 7-6. Then two quick Army touchdowns puts the game out of reach of the visitors who did not arrive here until 3 a.m. because plane troubles.

Two long runs by halfback John Peduto, and the fourth quarter passing accuracy of sophomore quarterback Jim O'Toole offset a generally lack- lustre performance by the Black Knights. 70 Yard TD Pedulo's 70-yard touchdown remaining in the first half enabled Army to leave the field with a 7-0 advantage although Kansas State had more than leld its own, with Cornelius Davis showing complete disdain for the Army defense. The Wldcats had driven from the opening kickoff to the Cadet 23, where Peter Huss was short with a field goal attempt, Army, with Steve Lindcll at quarterback, failed to get an offense rotting until well into the second period, but the drive faltered at the State 25, with Lindell's field goal try also falling short. After an exchange of punts late in the period, Peduto broke free for the initial score. The third period was a dreary exhibition by both clubs but Davis, who did a remarkable job for Kansas State ail day, ripped off left tackle in the opening moments of the fourth quarter and went all the way on an 89- yard gallop.

Mike Bruhin's place kick was wide, leaving the Wildcats trailing Finds. whose' passing, had been erratic, the' range' after that.

Pre-S By BiU.Burkt Herschel Belts, vetwan football coach of the Concordia Panthers of the North Central Kansas league, asked Saturday for school administrators and Kansas high school football fans to re-examine Kansas' limits on pre-season football practice. spoke out against the short length of time high school teams have to get ready for season openers after his Panthers lost 13-7 to Superior, Friday night. Betts regarded the game one of the best season openers his Panthers ever have played. "I felt like ii was as good a game come we're won," he said. "We hit real good.

Superior will attest to that. "But it's disheartening that our boys haven't an equal chance against out of state schoolj along the border." Kansas schools have three weeks to get ready, for their season openers. Schools in bordering states have a month. CoMcordia raa up against a team (hat had a week of twice-daily practice, and iwe fMtball game under iU belt. The Concordia coach called for an extra three to five days of practice limited to players wearing helmets, and shorts before full scale practice sessions.

it," Betta acked. "Our state won't even give it a try to see if it works. Not Cryiag "I'm not crying. Ours is just one of many schools in this Situation. Look to any border school in Kansas playing out-of-state opponents.

"Schools In Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tex- all have more time to get ready for season openers. "It's thoroughly revolting and disgusting," continued. "This is a case of state prestige. I feel, and I feel a responsibility to our state. I don't like to lose to out- of-state schools, "This is fair kfek.

"This thing can be changed only by the school administrators, not by the Kansas High School Activities association. on Practic The association is under the direction of the administrators. this is what the people of Kansas want, this is what they should get. "If they think this is a good way of learning to take lumps, good'for state pride, then maybe our basketball teams make up for it.

"If not, something should be done about Betts said that trainers, physicians and Phog Allen, have encouraged Kansas to have preseason helmet, shoes and shorts practice prior to regular season workouts. Betts said that he might be advised not to schedule Nebraska schools, or to start his football games a week later than other schools. "We lost four schools from our schedule when there was realignment of leagues last Spring and it's not easy to find schools to play. "That's why we're playing Superior and that's why Augusta is on our schedule." Augusta is located in the southern part of Kansas. "But I'll tell you this, we won't run from anybody.

We'll keep playing Superior," he Mid, As for starting the season la- ter, he said that would infringe on the start of basketball season and he doesn't want that. Wants Playoff Betts also offered strong support in behalf of a playoff system for state high schools. Kansas coaches went on record asking for a state playoff at their recent meeting in Wichita. "All the bordering states have high school playoffs," he said. "Because of the longer time neighboring states have for pre-season practice, and the playoffs, the players are more advanced than ours," the Con- cordla coach said.

"Only the other day Jack Mitchell University of Kansas football coach said that Texas high school football players a year's advantage on Kansas players when they enter college."
