Jayhawks' Glory Came In Short But Effective Spurts By TERRY MURPHY LAWRENCE Kansas tipped the price of tickets for Saturday's fame with Oklahoma from $4 to $5, then gave 44,000 fans more than their money's worth with 63 seconds of football magic that resulted In a stunning KU victory. Those who arrived seconds late or left a minute early got little for their money. Gale Sayers, KU's jackrabbit running America, stung the once-mighty Big Red by carrying the opening klckoff 93 yards to a touchdown. That consumed 16 seconds. From that point until the final 47 seconds of the fourth quarter, Oklahoma gave the KU faithful little to cheer.

Riding behind the ferocious charge of an enormous line, the Sooners ground out two touchdown drives in the second quarter for 14 points which looked certain to stand when Sayers stopped the clock with 47 seconds remaining by stepping out of bounds with an Oklahoma punt on his own yard line. But then, in six plays and 47 seconds, KU did what it had been unable to do all day: It movedthe ball against Oklahoma. It was incredible. Sophomore quarterback Bob Skahan started the miracle march by completing a 32-yard pass to Sayers. A time-out stopped the clock with 36 seconds remaining.

Another Skahan-to-Sayers pass fell incomplete but they immed. lately connected for 12 yards and a first down on Oklahoma's 47- yard line, Sayers stepping out of bounds to stop the clock. Next a pass intended for Mike John, son fell Incomplete after nearly being intercepted. Then Kansas get a boost from a heavy-handed Sooner caught working Sayers over on the Oklahoma 26-yard line.

The Warriors took a 121.101 drub. bing from the Baltimore Bullets the same night and absorbed a second straight defeat from the Cincinnati Royals 117-108 in Sunday's only scheduled game.

In the first half he scored 16 points and grabbed 17 rebounds.

He fin. ished with 19 and 22, respective. ly. With Chamberlain in a Phila. delphia hospital for a stomach ailment, San Francisco couldnt cope with Walt Bellamy's 30 points for Baltimore Saturday night.

While OU'S Dave Voiles was roughing Sayers, Skahan had com. pleted a 7-yard pass to fullback Ron Oelschlager. Sayers responded to an afternoon of rough treatment by pummeling Voiles with his fists. After both squads were separated after a brief brawl In front of the Kansas bench, the officials gave KU the ball on the OU 26, first down for pass Interference. But Sayers was thrown from the game and only 8 seconds re.

mained. Kansas seemed if not burled. Then came the play that made Mandrake the Magician look like a plumber. Skahan pitched left to Sayer's sub, Dave Crandall, who stopped suddenly and passed the ball cross field to Skahan, who was supposed to pass to someone else downfleld. But the Columbus, Kansas left, ie saw daylight, slipped away from one frantic Sooner, picked up a block from Oelschlager, and ran a diagonal path to the left corner of the end zone, beat, ing by inches a horde of Sooners as he stepped across the goal line brushing the flag as he went, Thai made it 14-13 and time had run out.

In came Sid Micek at quarter, back to play his first down of offensive ball this season. He pitched left to Crandall who, while under tackle, handed to Mike Johnson on a reverse. John, son outran the lone Sooner who wasnt fooled for the 2-point conversion and the victory. The stands emptied of wildly screaming fans who quickly swarmed over the field lifting players to their shoulders for a ride to the locker rooms. For Oklahoma, it was equally incredible.

Fullback Jim Grls. ham alone had outrushed KU, 104 yards to 101. But fumbles and penalties and a never-say. die KU defense cost dearly. Most noteworthy was a 76-yard touch, down run by Lance Rentzel in the third quarter which was called back for offensive holding.

Ordinarily there would be noth. ing to It in the hlgh.scorlng American Football League. But the Buffalo Bills are no ordinary team and because their defen. slve unit refused to yield that precious three feet, the Bills boast pro football's only perfect record today.

But reserve quarterback Eddie Wilson sparked a second half comeback as the Chiefs shaved the lead to six points 28.22. Midway through the fourth quarter, Kansas City had the ball with a third down and one on its own 34. Curtis McClinton tried for the first down but was stopped for no gain.

Oklahoma, with a squad that won 13 of 14 league games the past two seasons, lost its con. ference opener and now must win its last six games to have a shot at the championship.

But the Sooners have the potential to do just that, judging from their play against Kansas. "Oklahoma came into this game the way we came into the Iowa State game a week fired sky-high and desperate to win," said Jack Mitchell, Kansas coach. "They were so anx. lous to hit someone, they were hitting each other just before the kickoff." Corner Jones, downcast Oklahoma coach, said the Sooners played their best game of the year. The Big Red ouUrushed Kansas 255-101 with fullback Jim Grlsham, healthy for the first times this fall, getting 104.

Devine said "some people don't believe this team has been playing as hard as it can, but it has, and this is the best we've played this season.

"We needed his size and ity back -there," he said. Mitchell thought a holding penalty which nullified a 77-yard scoring run by Oklahoma's Lance Rentzel was the game's turning point. It would have put OU in front 21-7. "Then, too, our boys had been kicked around a lot and apparently just decided to do something about it," he said. "I was more impressed with our 50- yard drive in the last quarter than I was with the last one.

"I never give up, but things looked bad after that drive ended at their 32 with a lost fumble. I knew then we'd have to be lucky to win." Mitchell noted that Skahan, a sophomore, proved himself under pressure and showed that "he's the type of boy who can make the big play." Nebraska made use of two blocked punts, a fumble recovery, a stolen pass and a punt which was blown back by the wind. ion, then held off a Kansas City comeback led by sub quarter. back Eddie Wilson, which cut the lead to 28.22. "I was pleased that our guys didn't lose their poise," said Lou Saban, Buffalo coach.

"The big defensive plays won for us." He referred to Kansas City's loss of the ball on downs at its own 34 midway in the last quar. ter. With third and one, The Bills stopped Curtis Me Clinton for no gain. At fourth and one, Wilson couldn't make it to scrimmage after a busted signal forced him to keep the ball. Spreading his hands apart to indicate the distance the Chiefs needed, Saban chuckled and said "in pro ball that's a heck of a distance when the other team makes up its mind it's not going to let you make it." In the words of Hank Stram, Kansas City coach, the broken assignment by one of his backs "cost us the ball game.

It was supposed to be a weak-side sweep which normally would have been good for it. "You deserve to get beat if you can't make a half yard."
